A NEW VENTURE.
A Wall Street Man Who Extends His
Energies to New Fields.
New York, Oct. S. — When a New York
hanker leaves the business turmoil 'of Wall
street where hi* energies have been taxed
in escaping-the horns of the bulls and the
claws of the bears his fancy is supposed to
lightly turn to thoughts of repose. A spin
over the road in a trim Brewster, a well
arranged dinner with a due assortment of
wines, and a good seat at the theatre seem
the most beguiling variation on the mental
strain of Wall street. When, instead of
this sort of thing, a banker elects the man
agement of a big amusement scheme, where
the success is a doubt at the start and the
worry is a steady element, it becomes an in
teresting problem to determine his
idea of recreation. This is what
Mr. Heilman has done. When he
goes up town after busines hours he be
takes himself to the Eden Musee and takes
an active personal conduct of that place of
amusement. He likes it. It amuses him.
Those benevolent people, whose zeal for their
fellow creatures leads them into fluent pre
dictions of disaster when something new is
undertaken, charitably assured him he
couldn't make the thing a “go.” Wax
figures couldn’t be elevated to the level of
respectability. The crowds would be coarse,
ana if it drew only that kind of audience it
wasn't going to draw a paying one. The
facetious philosopher of old solved the ob
jections against the possibility of movement
by getting up and walking. Mr. Heilman
adopted a similar method. He proved that
the Eden Musee could be run as he projected
it and pay, by so running it and finding it
pay.
Encouraged, perhaps, by his success, Mr.
Heilman has lately attempted something
still more difficult. An impartial, generous
treatment of the work of native American
artists is a thing that any good man can
take an interest in. This is what Mr. Hell
man wishes to accomplish now. He is a
member of the New York Society for the
Promotion of Art, and he has added a gal
lery to the Eden Musee, which is placed un
der the auspices of the body with a view to
this result.
A few days ago a good crowd of invited
patrons assisted at the opening of this gal
lery. It is of modest dimensions, but taste
fully, even richly, decorated. An elevator
(happy medium of transportation) raised
the visitors from the “wax Aggers” and
Munck Lajor’s untrained gypsies to the
higher art of the floor above. No extra
charge is exacted for a visit to the gallery.
If Mr. Heilman succeeds in making of
his new gallery a court where justice and
generosity are shown to the American dis
ciples of brush and pigment he will do a
praiseworthy thing and one of no easy
accomplishment.
The present collection numbers sixtv-four
canvases. Some are the work of foreign
artists, but many are from the painters on
this side of the water. The exhibit is a very
creditable one, and several of the pictures
show an enfcouraging degree of abilitv. The
largest one in the collection is Charles
Giron’s “Deux Soeurs.” But it is not the
best, and the American public will proba
bly view the American painters with more
interest. The result of Mr. Heilman’s new
venture cannot help being interesting, and,
in case of success, gratifying to all art lov
ers of New York. John J. aßechkt.
BOOTH’S SLAYER.
Boston Corbett Said to be Hopelessly
Insane.
From the St. Louis Reoublican.
Topeka, Kan., Oct. 2.—Boston Corbett,
who shot John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of
President Lincoln, was, last evening, de
clared hopelessly insane, and a guardian
was appointed by the Probate Judge to take
charge of his property. Corbett was taken
to the State insane asylum, ami will prob
ably continue an inmate of the institution
ns long as ho lives, as physicians say that it
is impossible for him to be cured. While
living in Boston, Mass., he joined the Meth
odist church. Never having been baptized
lie was at loss to know what name to adopt,
but after making it a subject of prayer he
took the name of Boston in honor of the
place of his conversion. He was always
undisciplined and erratic. Soon after hq
killed Booth, Corbett received an anony
mous letter purporting to be written by a
Confederate officer threatening Corbett’s
life. He really believed that the threat
would be carried out, and the matter
weighed so heavily upon his mind that he
became partially crazed. He believed that
Southern sympathizers were following him,
and to this day ho maintains that friends of
John Wilkes Booth are on his track, it
was in the hope of getting away from his
imaginary pursuers that he came to Kan
sus. So effectually did he conceal his iden
tity that it was several years before it was
known in Kansas that he was the slayer of
Booth. For several years past lie has been
subject to crazy spoil's, but never did any
harm. During ail his resi
dence in Kansas he has tarried a
revolver with him night and day, so that
he might be prepared to defend himself
should lie be discovered by the imagined
avengers of Wilkes Booth. 'One of his pe
culiarities was his pronounced opposition to
secret societies. By some means lie learned
that Booth was a member of a secret so
ciety, and lie believes that the members of
that society are pledged to avenge their
brother’s death. He has resided on a farm
in Cloud count)' for several years past, liv
ing in a log liut, and with scant allowance
of food and clothing. About one year ago
he was a delegate to the Republi
can Couuty Convention. While the
convention was in progress Corbett
was seized with one of his spells, and
advancing to the platform ho pointed
a pistol at the Chairman, demanded silence,
and proceeded to offer prayer. When he
had concluded his prayer ho ordered the
convention to proceed.' Corbett was ap
pointed doorkeeper of the Kansas House of
Representatives last winter. His conduct
>n tho early part of the session was all right,
but (jne day toward tho latter part of tho
session, while the House was in the wildest
ol heated discussion, he created consterna
tion by appearing on the Speaker’s stand
and drawing from under his coat a large re
volver, he declared the House adjourned.
He was sent homo, and has since lost his
mind altogether.
“Oh, It Was Pitiful I”
Of course it was! He tried one remedy
after another, and finally gave up and died,
when his life might have been saved by tak
mg Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discov
ery”—the great “Consumption Cure” —
■whioh. if promptly employed, will soon sub
due all threatening symptoms, such as
nough, labored breathing, night-sweats, spit
ting of blood, etc., and restoring waning
strength and hope, effectually stop the poor
consumptive's rapid prograss grave-ward.
