< ESTABLISHED IS.V>. t tJ. H. ESTILL Editor and Proprietor, f TBRIEX HOLDS HIS OWN. UcMACKIN DENOUNCES THE IRISH PATRIOT’S ACTION. The Central Union’s Stormy Ssssion— McMackin Doesn’t Want the In dorsement of the Better Classes' Resolutions Censuring O’Brien Adopted—Mr. O’Brien’s Side of the Story- * New York, June 5.—A stormy session of he Central Labor Union was held to-day. fohn McMackin made an address denounci ng Mr. O'Brien tor his action in refusing to ittend the mass meeting last night. Mr. ileMackin declared he did not seek the ihainnanship, that he had done and would lo nothing to disgrace the eonildonce re used in him by the labor party. He would lot bow either at the command of the ec clesiastical power or at that of corrupt poli ieians. If Catholics were to be controlled >v a foreign power it would be a good cause or the sneer that they were not citizens. 3e continued: “We have no war to nake against the church, but we lave a struggle to carry on against hat power in the church which would prop ip a system of society that degenerates nanhood to a condition of poverty and de cadence. It has been said that the better :lass of society do not indorse Dr. MeGlynn, Hit the name ‘better class’ is not a pass >ort to heaven. Rich men of all classes are ilways ready to unite with the ecclesiastical lower to condemn those whom they dare lot, meet face to face. Our war is not with •eligionor nations, but with corrupt wealth md -power.” Resolutions were adopted ensuring O’Brien for his actions. MR. O’BRIEN SPEAKS, The following is from an interview with Hr. O’Brien to-day: “I was astonished to see it stated from he platform at Union Square last night hat I had scored out a resolution referring n Dr. MeGlynn. Asa matter of fact no uch resolution was.ever submitted to me. The resolutions submitted to me contained io" allusions to Dr. MeGlynn’s case. The ' resolution read from the stand sas never, in any manner, communicated lo me. The only reference to Dr. MeGlynn liiroughout the whole course of the com imnication between the committee and r.yself was a statement that Dr. MeGlynn vas to he present and speak, and I did not ippose that arrangement, as I had not the imallest objection. I have, therefore, now :o complain, both that this resolution was -’pt from my cognizance, and that the wle should have been put under the alse impression that I had seen and erased t. As to the insulting suggestion that I as captured by the Tammany Hall or any ither politicians, I can only say that if any American politicians had been guilty Di the remotest attempt to influ ence ray judgment in the direction of erring American party interests 1 should have known how to resent it. I should have resisted any attempt to compromise Hir course in the interest of any other political section in America, at least as warmly as I felt obliged to resist the at tempt to identify us with any particular or ganization by which the labor parade was Eonducted.” HENRY GEOROE'S PROMISING SOCIETY. Nearly 4,000 people attended the meeting nf the Anti-Poverty Society in the Academy if Music to-night, and many were turned iway from the doors. Lewis F. Post ore ailed, and Dr. MeGlynn was the principal speaker. During the course of his reimrks lesaid: • DR. FIERY WORDS. “It was a great mistake for the advisers of Mr. O’Brien to keep him from appearing on the platform with Mr. McMaokin. Mr. O'Brien probably did not know who John McMackin was, but bo knows to day- What Mr. O’Brien ought to be ashamed of was the erasing of the resolu tion that land belongs to the people. Mr. 0 Brien is a landlord at heart himself. It i-only a question of a small percentage be tween Mr. O'Brien and Lord Lansdowne. That resolution about coercion, about Italy and other countries got into print through Mr. O’Brien himself. When our friends discovered that, they could do noth ing with Mr. O'Brien they determined to fo on and give him a dose of coercion about Italy. They said were going to send t.teir own greeting to Ireland and not what Mr. O’Brien thought. OLD WORLD GRIST. Suicide of Two Americana Reported at Monte Carlo.

St. Louis, June 5. —At the regular meet ing of the Citizen’s Executive Committee, having in charge the preparations for the entertainment of the Grand Army of the Republic during the encampment here next September, the whole matter of how and by whom President Cleveland was invited to lie present, which has caused something of a commotion lately, was fully discussed, and a resolution adopted stating that the Citi zens’ Committee is not in any way repre sentative of the Grand Army, and that it has no authority from the Grand Army. During the discussion it was clearly shown that the idea of inviting the President to visit St. Louis during the encampment originated with and was carried out by the < ltizens’ Committee and by the citizens of St. Louis, and that the Grand Army had nothing to do with it. RUSHING WATERS. A Waterspout Bursts Over Oberlin, 0., Doing Great Damage. Cleveland, 0., June s. —At Oberlin this afternoon, during a thunder storm, much damage was done by a cloud-burst, or water spout. When the storm was at its height an immense volume of water came down suddenly, swelling to a raging torrent the little creek which flows through the town. The stream rose several feet within a few minutes,flooding the streets,filling the cellars and in many cases driving the inmates to the upper stories of their houses. One house was floated from its foundations, and great havoc was played by the water in the "lum ber yards. Three hundred feet of the Lake Shore railroad track was washed away, and one passenger train stopped. The flood sub sided almost as quickly as it came. It is impossible to tell now the amount of dam age. ' A TRIUMPHAL TOUR. Cork Sends Complimentary Resolu tions to Mr. Gladstone.

Sufficient Rainfall and Good Weather in Nearly all Sections. Washington, June 5, —During the week ending June 4 the weather has been cooler than the average in all the agricultural dis tricts east of the Rocky Mountains. In the Ohio and the Lower Missouri val leys, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and North Carolina and the east portion of New England, the de ficiency of the temperature for the week ranged from ’3s* to od" or a daily average of about 5’ cooler. The temperature was slightly in excess of the normal in Oregon and Northern California, when in Central and Southern California it was about the average. The temperature for tho season from Jan. I to June -i differs but slightly from the normal temperature in the Northern States and in the Southern States bordering on the Atlantic coast, while the average daily excess in the cotton region ranges from U to 3*. During the week the rainfall has been generally in excess in the States east of the Mississippi river, and in Louisiana, Eastern Texas, Southern Missouri and Eastern Kansas. Slight deficiencies of the rainfall for the week are reported in the Upper Mississippi valley, Minnesota, lowa, Dakota and Nebraska, but numerous and well distributed showers occurred throughout the grain regions of the North west, which appear to have affected the crops in those sections favorably. The cot ton region has been favored during the week by an excess of rainfall, ranging from one to two inches in Northern Louisiana, Northern Alabama, North and South Carolina and Georgia. Although t here is a large seasona 1 deficiency of the precipitation in these States, these recent rains appear to have been very beneficial to the crops, owing to their timely occurrence and favorable distribution. The weather apparently proved favorable for the grow ing cro];s. Needed rains have occurred throughout the wheat and corn regions, ex cept a portion of Illinois, lowa and Mis souri, where-slight rains were received only. The general rains and the cool weather in the hay and the tobacco regions in the States on the Atlantic coast and in the Ohio valley are reported as favorable. The weather was apparently favorable for all growing crops throughout the South, although reports from some sections of Tennessee and Mississippi show that the crops were injured by hail in some sections. AFTER THE SESSION. Closing of Tallahassee's Superb Hotel —Meeting to Aid the Exposition. Tallahassee, Fla., June s. —Only a few of the members of the Legislature re mained in the city to-day, and the offices in the capital were deserted and perfect quiet reigned supreme on the scene that a week ago was all bustle, confusion and excite ment-. The printing during the last days of the session was so voluminous that the journals of the last day have not yet been completed and the publication of the Floridian was delayed two days because of the general rush of work in the State Printer's office. Many additional printers were employed, but it was impossible to keep abreast with ail the work required in so short a time. . The Leon Hotel closed yesterday after a prosperous season of five months. Hun dreds of visitors were its guests during the last few months, and it is placed among the leading hotels in the South.

Reports From One Hundred Different Sections Indicate Prosperity. Louisville. June 5. The Courin-- Joumnl will publish to-morrow special re ports from over one hundred counties in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Indiana, Alabama and Mississippi relative to the con dition of farming operations. The recent drop in the prices for leaf tobacco has resulted in many Kentucky producers abandoning its cultivation for this season. Indications point to the crop not exceeding 60 per cent, of last year’s. Thirty rep- am- from Georgia agree in the belief that the cold weather ruined the fruit there. The wheat harvest is in progress and the grain Is said to be good. The farmers of the Empire State of the South are giving more attention to the breadstuff's than formerly, and in manv sections improved agricultural machines have been introduced. In the aggregate the news from Alabama, Mississippi and Indiana is ifavorable to the farmers. Yhe general situation is chewing, and there seems to be excellent prospects for a paying crop.

The Lesson Taught by His Power Over the Raging Waters- The Necessity of H\o Presence in all Undertakings and Enterprises Not Always Smooth Sailing for Those Who Follow the Faith. Brooklyn, June 5. —The Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., preached in the Tabernacle this morning a sermon entitled: "The Tem pest.” Service began with the exposition of apprepriate passagos of Scripture, after which the great congregation sang the hymn: “Heaven is my fatherland, Heaven is my home.” The text was Mark iv, 3G-iK>, describing Christ stilling the tempest. He said: Tiberias, Galilee, Gennesaret- -three names for the same lake. No other gem ever had so beautiful a setting. It lay in a scene of great luxuriance; the surrounding hills high, terraced, sloped, graved, so many hanging gardens of beauty, the waters rumbling down between rocks of gray and red lime stone, flashing from the nills and bounding into the sea. On the shore were castles, armed towers, Roman baths, everything at tractive and beautiful; all styles of vegeta tion in shorter space than "In almost any other space in all the world, from the palm tree of the forest to the trees of rigorous climate. It seemed as if the Lord had launched one wave of beauty on all the scene, and it hung and swung from rock and hill and oleander. •Roman gentlemen in pleasure boats sailing the lake, and countrymen in fish-smacks coming down to drop their nets pass each other with nod and shout and laughter, or swinging idly at their moorings. O, what a wonderful, what a beautiful lake! It seems as if we shall have a quiet night. Not a leaf winked in the air; not a ripple dis turbed the face of Gennesaret; but there seems to tie a little excitement up the beach, and we hasten to see what it is, and we find it an embarkation. From the western shore a flotilla pushing out; not a .squadron, or deadly armament, nor clipper with valuable merchandise, nor piratic vessels ready to destroy everything they could seize; but a flotilla, bearing mes sengers of life, and light, and peaoe. Christ is in tho front of the boat. His disciples are in a smaller boat. Jesus, weary witn much speaking to large multitudes, is put into somnolence by the rocking of the waves. If there was any motion at all the ship was easily righted; if the wind passed from star board to larboard, or from larboard to star board, the boat would rock, and by the gentleness of the motion putting the Master asleep. And they extemporized a pillow made out of a fisherman’s ec at. I think no sooner is Christ prostrate, and Ills head touched the pillow, than he is sound asleep. Tho breezes of the lake run their flngei-s through the locks of the worn sleeper, and the boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the bosom of a sleeping mother. Calm night, starry night, beautiful night. Run up all the sails, ply all the oars, and lot the large boat and the small boat glide over gentle Gennesaret. But the sail ore say there is going to be a change of weather. And even the passengers can hern - the moaning of the storm, as it comes on with great stride, and all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The large boat trembles like a deer at. Lay among the clangor of the hounds: great patches of foam are flung into the air; the sails of the vessel loosen, and the sharp winds crack like pistols; the smaller boats like petrels poise on the oliff of the waves and then plunge. Overboard go cargo, tackling and masts, and the drenched dis eiples rush into the back part of the boat, and lay hold of Christ, and say unto Him: “Master, oarest Thou not that we perish?” That great personage lifts His head from the pillow of the fisherman’s coat, walks to the front of the vessel and looks out into the storm. AIJ around Him are the smaller I mats, driven in the tempest, and through it, comes the cry of di owning men. By the flash of the lightning I see the calm brow of Christ as the spray dropped from His beard. He has one word for the sky and another for the waves. Looking upward He cries: “Peace!” Ijookiugdown ward He says: “Be still.” The waves fall flat on their faces, the foam melts, the extinguished stare relight their torches. The tempest falls dead, and Christ stands with His feet on the neck of the storm. And while the sailors are bailing out the boats, and while they are trying to untangle the cordage, the disciples stand in amazement, now looking into the calm sea, then into the calm sky, then into the oabn Saviour’s countenance, and they cry out: “What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Hint?” The subject in the first place impresses me with trie fact that it is very important to have Christ with the ship; for all those bouts would have gone" to the’bottom of Gennessi-et if Christ had not been present. Oh, wliat a lesson for you and for mo to learn! We must always have Christ in the ship. Whatever voyage wo undertake, into whatever enterprise wo start, let us always have Christ in the ship. Many of you, in these days of revived commerce, are start ing out in new financial enterprises. I bid you good cheer. I)o ail you can do. I)o it on as high plane as possible. You have no right to lie a stoker in tho ship if you can Ik- an admiral of the navy. You have no right to lie a colonel of a regiment if you can command a brigade; you have no right to be engineer of a boat on river banks, or near the coast, if you can take the ocean steamer from New York to Liverpool. All you can do with utmost tension of body, mind and soul you are bound to do: but oh! have Christ in every enterprise, Christ in every voyage, Christ in every ship. There are nu-n here who ask God to help them at the start of great enterprises. lie ha , been with them in the oast; no trouble cun overthrow them; the storms might come down from the top of Mount Hernion, and lash Gennesarct into foam and into agony, but it could not hurt them. But here is another man who starts out in worldly enterprise, and be depends upon the uncertainties of this life. He has uo God to help him. After awhile the storm rsinw, awl tooses off the masts of the ship; be puts out his lifeboat, and the longboat: the sner iff and the auctioneer try to help him off: they can't help him off; he must go down: no Christ in the ship.

You may seem to get along without the religion of Christ, while everything goes smoothly, hut after a while, when sorrow hovers over tho soul, when the waves of trial dash elear over the hurricane dock, and the dicks are crowded with piratical disaster*—oh, what would you do then without Christ in the ship!

He shall never Ik- confounded. But my subject also impresM# -Me with the fact that when people start to follow Christ they must not expect smooth sail ing. These disciples got into the small boats, and I have iu> dount they said: “What a beautiful day this is' What a smooth sea! What, a bright sky this is! How delightful is sailing in this bivtt! and as for the waves under the keel of the boat, why, they only make the motion of our little boat the more delightful.” But when the winds swept down, and the sea was tossed into wrath, then they found that following Christ was not smooth sailing. Ho you have found it: so I have found it. Did you ever notice the end of the life of the apostles of Jesus Christ? You would sav if ever men ought to have had a smooth life, a smooth depart ure, thou those men, the disciples of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such a departure and such a life. St. James lost, his head. Bt. Philip was hung to death on a pillar. Ht. Matthew bad his life dashed out with a halbert. St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets. Bt. James the I .ires was beat en to death with a fuller's club St Thomas was struck through with a spear. They did not And following Christ smooth sailing. Oh, how they were all tossed in the tempest! John Huss in the tire; Hugh McKail iu the hour of martyrdom; the Albigenses, the Walden ses, the Scotch Covenanters—did they find it smooth sailing! But why go to history when I can come into this audience to-day and And a score of illustrations of the truth of this subject.. That young man in the store trying to serve God, while his employer scoffs at Christi anity, the young men in the same store antagonistic to the Christian religion. teasing him, tormenting him about his religion, trying to get him mad. Thev succeed in getting him mad, saying; “You're a pretty Christ ian." Does this young man find it smooth sailing when he tries to follow < 'hrist? Here is a Christian girl. Her father despises the Christian religion; her mother despises tlie Christian religion; her brothers and sisters scoff at the C'hristain religion; she can hardly find a quiet place in which to say her prayers. Did she find it smooth sailing when she tried to follow .Jesus Christ? Oh, no! all who would live the life of the Christian religion must suffer perse- cution; if you do not, find it in one way you will get it in another way. The question was asked: “Who are these nearest the throne?” and the answer came book: “These are they who came up out of great tribulations; great flailing, as the original has it; great flailing, great pound ing—“and hail their relies washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.” Oh, do not be disheartened! Oh, child of God take courage. You are in glorious edmpanioh ship. God will see you through all those trials, and lie will deliver you. My subject also impresses me with the fact, that good people sometimes get very much frightened. In the tones of these disciples as they rushed into the bark part, of the boat, I find they are frightened almost to death. They say: “Master, rarest Thou not that we perish?” They had no reason to be fright i nod, for Christ was in the boat. I suppose if we had been there we would have been just as ami'll affrightnned. Perhaps more. In all ages very good people get very much a (frightened. It is often so in our day an<l men say, “Why, look at the )>ad lectures; look at the Spiritualistic societies; look at the various errors going over the Church of God; we are going to founder; the church is going to perish; she is going down.” Oh, how many good people are affrightened by iniquity in our day, and think the church of Jesus Christ is going to he overthrown, and are just as much affrightened as were disciples of ray text. Don’t worry, don’t fret, as though iniquity were going to triumph over righteousness. A lion goes into a cavern to sleep. He lies down, w-ith his shaggy inane covering the jiaws. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web across the mouth of the cavern, and say: “We have captured him.” Gossamer thread after gossamer thread is spun until the whole front of the cavern is covered with the snider*’ web, and the spiders say; “The lion is done; the lion is fast,.” After a while the lion ha* got through sleeping; lie rouses himself, he shakes his mane, he walks out into the sunlight; lie does not even know the winders’ web is spun, and with his voice lie shakes the mountain. So men come spinning their sophistries and skepticism alsmt, Jesus Christ. He seems to he sleeping. They sav: “We have captured the Lord; He will never come forth again upon the nation; ('hrist is cap tured forever. His religion will never make any conquest among men.” But after awhile the lion of the tribe of Judah will rouse himself and come forth to shake mightily the nations. What's n spider’s web to the aroused linn? Give truth and error a fair grapple, and truth w ill come off victor. F.ut there are a (treat many good people who get affrightened iu other respects; they are affrightened in our day aliout revivals. They say: “Oh! this is a strong religious gale; we are afraid the Church of God is going to he upset, and there are going to Is: a gnat many people brought into the church that, are going to he of no use to it.,’’ and they arc affrightened whenever they sec a revival taking hold of the churches. Ah though a ship captain with five thou sand bushels of wheat for a cargo should say, some day, coming upon deck: “Throw overboard all cargo;” and the sailors should say; “Why, Captain, what do you mean? Throw over all tile cargo?” “Oh,” says the Captain, “we have a peck of chaff that has got into this five thousand hushejsof wheat, and tlie only way to get rid of the chaff is to throw ail the wheat overboard.” Now, that, is a great ikvii wiser than the talk of a great many Christians who want to throw overboard all the thousands and tens of thousands of souls who are the subjects of revivals. Throw all ovartioard because they are brought into the kingdom of G<sl through great revivals, because there is a peck of chaff, a quart of chuff, a pint of chaff! I -ay,-let them stay until the Last Day; the Lord will divide the chaff from the wheat. DO not lie afraid of a great revival. Oh, that these gales from heaven might sweep through all our churches! Oh, for such days ah Richard Baxter saw in Eng land and Robert McClieyne saw in Dundee.' Oh, for such days as 'Jonathan Edwards saw in Northampton! I have often heard my father tell or the fact that, in the early part;ofifthiscentury a revival broke out at Somerville, N. J., anil some people were very much agitated about it. They said: “Oh, you arc going to bring too many peo ple into the church at once,” and they sent down to New Brunswick to get John Liv ingston to stop the revival. Well, there war no better soul in all the world than John Livingston. He went and baikedat the revival; they wanted him to stop it. He stood in the pulpit on the Mali linth, and looked over the solemn auditory, and lie said: “This, brethren, is in reality the work of God; beware how you try to stop it.” Anil he was an old man, leaning heavily on hia staff —a very old mart. Ana he lifted that, staff, und took bold of the small end of the staff, and began to let it fall very slowly through between the linger arid the thumb, and he said: “Oh, thou im- I mutton t. thou ail tailing now -failing uwav from life, falling away from |*-aw and heaven, falling as certainly os that cane is falling through my hand—fulling certainly, though js'i haiis falling slowly. ’ And too cw*: key! on^aUkiiUk. Utfk'MteU Jybfi jaw*#- audience was overpowering, and men saw a type of t heir doom, as the cane kept falling and falling, until the knob of the cane struck Mr. Livingston's hand, and he clasped it, stoutly and said: “But the grace of God can.stop you. as I stopped that! cane;” anil then there was gladness all through the house at the fact of pardon and peace and salvation. “Well,” said the |ieoplo after the service, "I guess you bad better send Liv ingston home; be is making the revival worse.” Oh, for the gales from heaven, and Christ on board the ship! The danger of the church of (!od is not in revivals. Again my subject Impresses mo with the fact that Jesus was God and man in the same living. Here Ho is in the back part of the Ixiat. Ob, how tired He looks; what sad dreams He must have! Look at His countenance; lie must lie thinking of the cross to come. Look at Him, Ho is a man— liono of our bone, flesh of our flesh. Tired, He falls asleep; lie is a man. But then I tiiiil Christ at the prow of the boat; I bear Him say: “Peace, be still;" and I see the storm kiieeling at His bet, and the tenniests folding their wings in His presence; He is a /• „ I God. If 1 have sorrow and trouble and want sympathy, 1 go and kneel down at the hack part, of the boat, and say: “O, Christ! weary one of Oennesaret, sympathise with all my sorrow , man of Nazareth, man of the cross?’ A man, a man. But if I want to conquer my spiritual foes, if I want to get the x ietorv over sin, death, and hell, T come to the front of the boat, and I kneel down and 1 say: “0, Loid Jesus Christ, Thou who dost hush the tempest, hush all my grief; hush all my temptation, hush all my sin." A man, a man, a God, a (Bid. I learn once more from this subject that Christ can hush a tempest. It did seem as if everything must go to ruin. The disciples had given up the idea of managing the ship; the crew wore en tirely demoralized; yet Christ rises, and He puts His foot on the storm and it crouches at His feet. Oh, yes! Christ can hush the temiiest. You have had trouble. Perhaps it was the little child taken away from you—the sweetest child of the household, the one who asked the most curious questions and stood around you with the greatest fondness, and the sjiaile cut down through your bleeding heart. Perhaps it was an only son, and your heart Ims ever since twen like a deso lat eil castle, the owls of the night booting among the falling arches and the crumbling stairways. Perhaps it was an aged mother. You al ways want to her w ith your troubles. Hhe was in your home to welcome your children into life, and when they died she was there to pity you; that old hand will do you no more kindness; that white lock of hair you put away in the casket, or in the locket, didn’t look as it usually did when she brushed it away from her wrinkled brow in the home circle or in the country church. Or your property cone, you said: “I have so much bank stock, 1 have so many gov ernment securities, I have so many houses, I have so many farm*"—all gone, all gone. Why, sir. all the storms that ever tram pled tneir thunders, all the shipwrecks hove not lieen worse than this to you. Yet you have not been completely overthrown. Why? Christ hushed tho tempest. Your little one was taken away. Christ says: “I have that little one in rriy keeping. I can care for him ns well as you can, better t han you can, 0 bereaved mother!” Hushing the tempest. When your property went away God said: “There are treasures in heaven, in hanks that never break.” Just bushing the tempest. There iseiiia storm into which we will all have to run. The moment when we let go of this life, and try to take hold of the next, wo will want ull the grace possible. Yon der I see a Christian soul rocking on the surges of death; ail the powers of darkness seem let out against that soul—the swirling wave, the thunder of the sky, the shriek or the wind, all s*>em to unite together: but that soul is not troubled; there Ts no sigh ing, there are no tears; plenty of tears in the room at the departure, but he weeps no tears, calm, satisfied, peaceful; all is well. By the flash of the storm you see the har bor just ahead, and you are making for that harbor. All shall lie well, Jesus hashing the tempest. “ Into tbe harbor of Heaven now we glide; We're home at last, home at last. Softly we drift on Its bright, silv ry tide. We're home at last. (dory to ltod! all our danger* arc o'er. We stand secure on the glorified shore; (dory to (tod; we will shotil evermore, We're home at last. PROPHECIES ABOUT PLAYS. The Rule is They Don’t Amount to a Great Deal. New York, June 4.—Sometimes 1 doubt if any man can judge of the success of a play by reading it. “Jim, the Penman,” which is one of the most pronounced hits of the Englisii speaking stage, was hawked about London for years before any manager could be induced to produce it, It had every chance too, for its author, Sir Charles Young, was well known to all of the English stage people, and was on good terms of jx-r --sonal friendship with the more prominent and influential London managers. Despite all tiie influence that he could bring to ls-ar on them, they refused to bring out this piny ■ until he was enabled to secure a manager against, loss. Then the drama was produced, and it is still •♦inning to the biggest houses iu London. The play was given to Mr. A, M. Palmer, manager of the Madison .Square Theatre, to read before its London production. Mr. Palmer is one of the shrewdest and most cultivated of American managers. He takes ri'ks, too, but ho was afraid to do “Jim, the Penman,” and it was shelved. Then it \ made ita big London bit and Mr. Palmer brought it out here. It will prob ably outrun flu; records of the “Two Or l4isns'’aml "Hazel Kirke.” "The Highest Bidder” began its career at the Lyceum heavily handicapped. The play, as was well understood, was written for the elder Hothom by Maddixon Morton and Robert Reece, ftothern never had much confidence in it. Winter, of the Tribune , who had read it, predicted a fail ure for its present production. George Clarke, the actor, who also conversant, with the [day, wns also sure of its coming disaster. William J. Florence nt one time eontem nlafrsl it, so did the lot-- John T. Raymond; both saw nothing in it and abandoned it.

A STORY ON FRANK If His First Effort bn the Stage Was Not a Great Success. New York. June4.—Of Frank Mayo, the l well-known actor, a good story is now go ing the rounds of Newspaper Row. In hia extreme youth, say callow 17, he was seized with the stage disease. A tall, loose-jointed country boy. who had scarcely ever stepped foot into a playhouse, he found it a hard task to enter Thespian ranks; but after a world of trouble succeeded in having him-1 self enrolled among the “supers” of a Ban Francisco theatre. Junius Brutus Booth, j that firry genius, was holding the board* In some clnssic drama, and Mayo was one off the noble Roman mob who rush in and out < of the stage to quick music and the stage * manager’s oath. On the eventful evening of his tti-st appearance Mayo's fellow “supelr { determined to make a sensation, and did.; They dressed the luckless youth in a man- ’ nor never before seen in the history of the drama. The right sido of his body was classic Latin in decoration and dress, lielmot, I leather cuirass and belt, bare leg and foot and corded sandal; the left side Pawnee warrior, ochre-daubed cheeked, eagle's feather, dirty buckskin blouse, trouser and moccasin, scalping knife, tomahawk and hanging scalps hv the aide. He was kept in the background by the wags until the rue cante, ami then ols-dient, to the instructions he had received rushed with a wild war whoop at thn head of the fifty super numeraries down toward the footlights. There was nn ominous pause. Booth and play where forgotten and then came a hur ricane of laughter, cheers and yells. Booth, not seeing the cause of the singular out break, was at first mystified. Hr turned and save Mayo. It took loss than a minute for the infuriated star to kick, actually kick, the hapless aspirant from the stage through the door into tbe street. He returu—ya find that the damage hat ail been doneSTh# remainder of the evening saw formative. Whenever the mob was ev|ii heard liehind the scones t quet tittered and the gallery howled. Tfii curtain rung down fifteen minutes earlier, there was no recall anil Booth wenttohif hotel swearing vengeance njhiii the villait or villains who had concocted what seemed to him a hideous plot to undermine hia re- * nutation. Poor Mayo in the street was heart-broken. At one blow, or kick, his dramatic ambitions had beeij ruthlessly shuttered forever. Aud this, added to the ignominy of his exit, ho wrought upon him that for op hour he cried in the dark alley way like a schoolgirl for her first fault. When the theatre was out he sneaked into the dressing room to change his clothes. He was there confronted by tne manager. Id a voice broken by rage and laughter the lat ter said: “Look at hern, yonng fellow! There’s your half dollar. Booth says he won’t play if he sees you around iny more. Ho get! But it wasn’t your fault altogether. You’re a gory I fellow und here’s a note to the mana ger on the next square. He’ll give you a better job than here.” * "Mayo in surprise took the coin and an swered: “Well, If the success of the house depends on a question between me and the star of course I’ll resign in his favor.” Ten years afterwards Mayo was the mana ger of the largest theatre in Boston and was playing Booth tus his leading star of the sea son.
