2 ONE OF RAYMOND’S TRAITS. Ola Friends Talking of His Practical Jokes. From the Xetc York Times. The death of John T. Raymond has her n one of the chief topics cf conversation in theatrical circles this week. At the Gilsey, the Hoffman, ihe Union Square, the Mor ton, find nil other places where the profes sion are wont to congregate, there has been constantly repeated over the lemonades and the punches, m the little knots around each table, the name of one of the best known of American comedians. Every actor bar. had a sprav of green to tender to his dead brother, but it was a spray from tlie garden of memory, of iris rather than cypress, from a tree that had been tended by friendship and watered by merry sympathy through long years of pn. feesional life. Even' one of them has had some story to teli and has told it, and the honest sadness over his departure and that faint far away guest of ominous hearing that came dimly into view with the words: “Another one of us gone," was a liaok ground for the stories that made merriment something of a relief. "Raymond and I dre*l for five years in the same room.' said Harry Edwards “It was in the California Theatre stock company, in San Francisco. Joking was not entirely an amusement with John. It was a passion. Sii'-h trifles as finding your shoes nailed to the floor when in a hurry, your boots filled with vermilion, or your wig grotesquely queered were ahvavs to Ire expected But 1 never will forget," and he began to laugh at the memory, “one tnafinee, when we were playing with poor Ned Adams in a piece called ‘The Clairvoy ant.’ “McCullough was the villain of the piece. In the last act there was a scene in which his victims appeared Ijefore him. Ray mond. Julia Corcoran, somebody else and myself were the victims. We w>;re all in line on a platform A second before we came into view Raymond came out of his ig-room. turned our wigs hind side .fefcr -and tipped them over on one side, tauM then took his place.

I>ad company, and above all that pernicious habit ol matching, there may be hope of you yet. Good morning.’” “I never think of Raymond without also thinking of Matilda Heron." said McKee Itank#i. “Raymond and Sothern years ago were running the St. John's Theatre, in New Brunswick. They had en gaged Matilda Heron, and. as usual, they painted her name in large letters on atrans parency which they had rigged up on an old lumber wagon. Inside of it they put some musicians, and for several hours each day it was driven all over town with the musicians tooting like factory whistles. Well, Matilda arrived. John inet her at ■■■fetation and, os they reached the hotel, " !4 Kon came up the street in ten. .' said John, rubbing bis -l:! i . ... t • 'I: ■ ■ '! Jii l ■■ i sidewalk. ■HP’ A'hat is it. Johnny fi said she. right in. Matilda. Its all right.’ Hi. my God Johnny. 1 ennnot go said the poor woman. why, nonsense, don't say that,' said " tEe manager ‘Everybody does it. The paoplq expect it They wan to see you. Won’t have a soul in the house if you don’t,’ “Hhe heaved a sigh, prepared to mount, while the musicians, staring in consterna tion, made a place for her on the lioard seat. But her courage failed her. She clasped her hands and almost fell on her knees, say ing: “ ‘Please. Johnny, please do not make me I I will do anything for you all my life.’ “Raymond knitted nis brow and shook his head. •* ‘Ton honor?" he said finally. “ ‘Oh, I swear it.’ “He relented. But all her life he held the promise over her.” “Did you ever hear Raymond’s answer to the English ladyif” asked James J. Roche. “No. “Well, he was over there " said Roche, “playing Asa Trenchant in ‘The American Cousin.’ Meeting a lady one day she said: “ ‘lt is funny, Mr. Raymond, nut you can never hope to play the paid as Mr. Buxton did.’ “‘No,’drawled Raymond. ‘I liojm? not. You see, madam, Buxton was like Corn wallis when he went over to interview the Americans—he didn’t know unvtliing übout tom.’ ” Bike every other practical joker, Ray mond was not seldom made the victim of a dose similar to that be was so fond of in flicting. When he first played Col. Sellers the most trying paid or the performance was eating the raw turnips, for he hated vegetables anil never ate them except on compulsion. The company found this out, and doctored bis turnips' in all sorts of ways. He substituted apples in the act, and one night all he had to eat was a raw onion, covered with an apple skin, to his unspeak able indignation. The talk run on reprisals, and Billy Florence said: “Hpealiing of John and Nisi Sothern. 1 remember they once fell together in Hail Francisco, years ago, Raymond at the Cali fornia and Sothern at the Bush street. Raymond lutd caught on to a queer habit the Chinese epicures have there of eating puppy dogs. It's very well known there, and most of the Bohemian club fellows have tried them. Well. John met Nod one (lay ns) told him he'd struck a great thing ade nose supper after the show. He talked sqiiuhs 3la </hi noise, Chinese orchestras, moon light luileoiiien on the lop stori of the house, ami 914 tea, till Sothern, who liked any thing new, was cruzy to try it. and Ray mond took him up there with n gang. “They all ate pretty well, for the Chinese cuisine is not to Is- sniffed at. I tell you. uml Hethem Just stuffed himself with a delicacy that lie took a great fancy to Raymond went ill lastly on the pigeons, insisting that Hl>ihern should let go on tie roaat. and try tbeni, blit Hotbeni would uot.

He didn't come back, but went home mad. Four fellow ! It was a long tine lief ore he forgave it.” Thera was a laugh. Then someone said: i •'Tell us the sequel. Billy.” Florence smiled. "You want the sequel. [ Jo you:" he said. “Yes.” in chorus. “Well, I was always a friend of Sothem's when he wasn't deviling me with some K'b lierv-or other, and a couple of years after ward I fell into Memphis along with Ray- ! nioinL AVe hail a big nigger cook at the hotel, with >ne of the toughest faces I ever saw on a hr,nan being. If I'd a met him on a dark night anywhere and could have seen him, I'd a run for my life. I took care of him, however, with a dime or two. and he put himself out for me in the cookling line. He got me up a dish one 'lay that was mighty good, and it was my first taste of coon. Iwa talking w ith him about it afterward in the kitchen, and an idea struck me. 1 told Mill to get one and stew it for Raymond, who was a little under the weather, and was dining in his room. Now i a coon's foot, when it's boiled with the skin off, looks more like a little baby’s foot than anything else in the world. The darkv caught my idea, and he took a lot of the little fiones and stowed them into a platter with the two little feet half cov ered up and half sticking out in a careless kind of a way. He got it all ready for John to look at after he had euten the stew, and then carried up his dinner. I gave him time to finish, and w hen I went in I conlil see that he had eaten all there was in sight. “I grumbled a little. ‘Blast the hotel,’ said I; “can't get anything fit to eat in it,’ said I. Eat!’ said John: ‘why, I’ve just had the finest game stew I ever ate.’ “ ‘Game,' said I. ‘there's no game this time of the year. AVliat was it?’ ‘Blest if I know,’ said he, and rings the bell. "I told him he ought to be mighty careful what he ate there, as there were a good many queer stories going round about the cook, and just as I had put the wedge in the cook appeared. “ What was tlrnt stew:' said Raymond. “ ‘Young antelope, sah.’ “ "Nonsense,' said I. 'There's not an ante lope within 500 miles of here.’ “The cook looked confused, and I ordered him to bring up the Kines, He brought 'em up, and we poked among’em. John found a foot and looked up in terror. He was afraid to touch it. “ 'lt is,’ said I. “It can't lie,’ said he. ‘Holy —.’ “And he went. The very idea was too much for him. He dropped on it before he came tiack, but Sothern was even.” Then somebody recalled the time when Raymond was playing Col. Sellers at the Grand Opera House, and some of the lambs put up a job on him to pav back certain debts in the joking line that lie was always incurring. Steele Mackaye, Walden Pell Sorymser. Mai-u. an artist. Jack Miley ami some others made up their minds to go on in the last act in the court scene of the “Gilded Age.” The first ordered a fine supper for Raymond, as it was the last night of the engagement. Then they arrayed themselves j in dm* suits, went over to the theatre and, haling previously fixed matters with the stage manager, filed into the jury Kix, un known to Raymond, before the curtain rose. He entered sen alter, sat down to business of talking with Laura Hawkins and hap pened to east his eye on the jury box. His jaw fell, his eyebrows lifted, and he shook nis fist and went through a panto mime of the most bloodthirsty threats. It was a tough crowd, however," and they did not weaken an inch. No sooner hail the trial begun than Mara jumped to bis feet, exclaiming: “Inospeaka Inglis. You getta enter pret.” “Sit down,” cried the Judge. “I can no hear. I wanta enterpret,” screamed Mara. Miley choked him off. and he subsided. With some difficulty the cue was found, but no sooner had the scene commenced than Milev rose: “Yer Arn’r,” said he. “What.” “He’s not tarkin Oirish. Av he don’t tark Oirish how’ll I undhershtand the ivi dence f” Raymond was pule with anger. Every thing was in confusion. Sorymser tried to speak, the Judge was hammering with his gavel and the audience were simply petrified. They could not make head or tail of the matter. The actors, outside of Raymond, however, were in tears of laughter. The trial ended and the jury went out. Mackaye ivas foreman. When they filed back a few minutes later, the Judge said: “Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a ver dict:" “We have,” said Mackaye solemnly. “We find the defendant guilty.” “You mean not guilty,” roared Raymond. “We mean guilty,” roared the jury. Raymond made frantic signs into the wings. “Ring down, ring down,” he com manded in a hoarse whisper. Then he grabbed a liottle on the table, rose, and threw up his amis crying: "Gentlemen, I appeal to you. For the sake of the eye water say not guilty. And the curtain fell on the maddest Ray mond that anybody ever knew. He would not see the jokers or the point of the joke, and the supjier passed off without its only guest. HYACINTHS AS BOUTONNIERES. The Modest Violet Discarded by Swells Because it Became so Cheap. Front the Veto York Mail and Express. “The best way to tell a man who goes into the highest circles of society and who is one of fashion’s votaries is to see him buy a boutonniere,” remarked a florist on Broad way. The florist yanked together half a dozen roses fora sallow-faced dude, used up a yard of small wire, received #'-? 50 for the wire and roses and continued his confidential j chat alxiut boutonnieres: “You see, if these Jacqueminot roses were cheap they would soon become common and everybody would be wearing them. The extra swells of society would immediately (•wise to buy Jacqueminot roses. That very thing has happened with the boutonniere flowers that were most fashionable a few months ago, the violets. They became cheap and everybody wore them, so that I high-toned, heavy-pursed dudes have quit wearing them. Now they buy hyacinths, have them prettily wired together, ami fasten them on through the buttonhole with out unv green loaves for a background. Hyacinths cost a little more than violets, and, being white, they do not catch the eve of the ♦lO-a-week young clerk. Besides the hyacinth, sometimes a society swell will select a Jacqueminot rosebud, and make it answer for a boutonniere, but he shuns the now common place violet. It is quite the thing now to wear boutonnieres on light colored spring overcoats. Watch the stream of jieople in the afternoon when the swells are out in numbers, uml sec the style of the spring overcoat boutonniere; they are catching amt artistic. Many of tliuMO wear violets, but see them later on at the ojiern or receptions anil they have hyacinths pinned to their drins coats." A Court House Burned. Nkw Oiilkanm, April If*.

TIIK MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1887. ANGRY WITH SARAH. Mme. Bernhardt Loses Things in a Very Mysterious Manner. From the Xeie York Star. Mnz>. Sara Bernhardt left for the West Saturday night. and left behind her several very angry and mystified people. Mine. Bernhardt has been so unfortunate as to lie mixed up in the mysterious disappearance of five valuable autograph albums owned by prominent New V>rK collectors. It seems that two weeks ago Maj. J. B. Pond, the well-known amusement manager, took his large autograph album around to th" Hoffmann House and sent it up to have Mme. Bernhardt write her name on one of its precious leaves among hundreds of auto graphs of distinguished people, living and dead. Tlie album wax sealed in a large en velope, and accompanying it was a jiolite note in French setting forth the request of the owner. A day ■ t vrn slipped away, and the Major sent around to tlie hotel to get bis album. Word was returned that the matter would be attended to. Several more days passed without a sign from the, great artist, arid auotber message was dispatched Pi ask for th* t .. No -ntisfarjtion eouid tie obtained, and fiiialiv Maj. l’ond repaired to the hotel in p“i - ui to learn the cause of delay. Tie n Mine. Guerrai - . private secretary to the tragic queen, stated that the book hail probably K-cn returned, but it certainly could nt lie found. The Major averred in vigorous language that he had not received it. and he became very anxious as to its whereabouts. Messengers were scurrying between the Everett and the Hoffman all one day. The noted amusement manager was in a state of mind, and Mme. Guerrar was excited. Troublous clouds were gath ering. which could only be cleared aw ay by the apjiearance of the valuable album,'but the horizon grew darker hour by hour. Finally the hotel people became involved in the affair, and tne house was searched from top to bottom. Servants were ques tioned closely and a detective engaged upm the case. Suspicion was directed toward several persons, but no clue could be found upon which to prosecute the search with any degree of satisfaction. At length the Bernhardt company was about Pi proceed to Boston, and it seemed as if the myste rious matter must be decided one way or the other. The niadame, however, promised t hat everything should be set right upon her return. This temporarily appeased the Major, who had thus far exhausted every means of recovering his property. In due time the inqieriotu Sarah returned to New York and the trouble about the missing book assumed a more serious as pect than before. Mile. Sarah Bernhardt, niece of the great actress, suggespyl that search tie made for the album, and this was acted upon, but no trace of it whatever was found. The madainc herself was annoyed by the unfortunate affair, but it was hinted that she had not exercised ordinary care for the safety of the Kiok. “Why, it is priceless,” exclaimed the Major, as he strove Pi suppress his emotion. “I have spent twenty years collecting auto graphs in that book.' It has Uwi across the ocean and from one end of the United States to the other, and the hands of hun dreds of distinguished jienple, some dead and gone, have pressed its pages. Arthur and Grunt, and Patti and Beecher, princes, artists. Senators, Governors. Presidents and authors by the score were there. (iarnbetta luid written in it, Tilden h,-el.signed it, Gar field's name was there, Gladstone and Nill son and McClellan had penned their signa tures on its pages, and all platform orators of the entire world within the past twenty years had impressed their autographs in that album.” Its money value was probably only a few thousand dollars or so, but to the Major it was a treasure of treasures, upon which he had siient years of infatuated devotion. Then more notes were sent, friends interceded, and Flinch and English expressions of great strength were indulged in all around, but the mystery was not cleared up, the book was not found. Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Ger man and Turkish signatures are in the al bum. Names from every civilized tongue are record's! there, besides many from liar baric and semi-savage countries. Every body recognizes that the Major's album is of great value, and his friends are doing what they can to discover it. One person inti mated that the niadame might have thought lessly put the volume in her trunk, but her friends resented this as unjust. Saturday promised to bring the climax in the mystery. Activity was shown by every body interested in the matter. The madame, in her caprice, stormed up and down her apartments, Guerrar shuddered, little Sarah cried and Maurice Bernhardt was fidgety. “Where is the album?” was the tormenting question which could not be answered. The great actress was in such a state of frenzy over the affair that her nervous system gave way and she was compelled to cancel her engagement for that evening at Jersey City. Finally, late Saturday night the madame was whirled to Desbrosses street jferry to take the train for Cincinnati, where she commences a Western tour to last two months. Tliev are gone and the missing album is not found. And that is not the worst of it, for four other autograph albums belonging to other well-known [ie<>- ple are also lost. They hail been given to Mme. Bernhardt, she had signed her name and then the albums had disappeared! The owners are disconsolate. “I never heard of such a thing before,” said Maj. Pond. “Why, when I was trav eling with Mr. Beecher many autograph albums were sent to him at every place where we stopped, in America and England, and I always saw that they were signed anil properly returned. They tell me that a dozen albums a day are sent to the White House for the President to sign, and not a Ixjok has lieen lost there for years.” Of course it is not definitely known whether the five missing autograph albums are only mislaid through carelessness or are really stolen, and detectives are now thoroughly investigating the matter to de termine w hat step shall be next taken by the losers. Nolmdy for a moment attaches blame to the hotel management, for the en tire corps of servants and every employe about the house are believed to be thorough ly honest. Word is expected from Mine. Bernhardt from Cincinnati which may throw some liglit on the mystery, but "when she de parted Saturday night she was just as much in the dark as everybody else. THE THISTLE'S OPPONENT. Paine's Steel Wonder The Importance of Professionals in Yacht-Sailing. From the Few York Tribune. A question which is exciting even greater interest among yachtsmen than the mans of the Thistle is whut boat will be chosen to defend the America's cup. List fall the almost unanimous answer would have lieen the Mayflower. But now so many unknown factors have been introduced tlrnt it lie comes a matter for iqieculution. The con test for the honor is admittedly narrowed down to four Knits. The Puritan, Priseilla. Mayflower, and Gen. Faille's new steel yacht. The Puritan and the Mayflower will prob ably come to tin' line in the trial races in aKint the saint nditinn oh they were last year, and. of course, they may tie exjxs'bsi in show uKmt the same relative Hjassl. The Priseilla, however, will undergo some alter ations, which her owner, Com. Can field, fondly ho| ies will add nmterialh to her lleetncss.
