THE TRAGEDIAN WILL NOT
FILL ANY ENGAGEMENT
FOR SOil.E TJME TO COME
Chicago, Oct. 2—A- state
inent is published that John
McCullongh, the tragedian,
has just been informed that
all his engagements haye been
canceled. After rehearsal,
Tuesday afternoon, he was
shown a l.etter from Mr. Mc-
Vicker, in which his illnes.
and consequent inability to do
himself justice, were specified
as the reasons for closing the
house. The actor was lying
do,wn at the time, but
tfrufie, dressed himself and
in company with his manager,
went to McVirker's ho une.
He was angry at first, but
McYicker succeeded apparent-
ly in convincing him that the
action taken was the best.
The tragedian then returned
to his hotel and ¿iccepted the
situation. He supposed,
1 however, that the performan-
ces were to be res.uraed at
Detroit, the next place on the
route, an nothing w&s said to
disabuse him of bis error. A
careful watch was kept upon
him all night and a'l day.
Early yesterday he read
what the newspapers had to
say about him. and, in the
afternoon, he went to the
Treinojit house and told Miss
Tracy that he intended to go
to Detroit at once. She
persuaded him to wait until
evening. Shortly before 7
o'clock he ordered his carriage
sent to the depot, and proceed
ed to the theater himself.
Ilis friends withheld his-
baggage and two of Pi kor-
ton's men followed him, They
found him walking up and
down the platform with Miss
Tracy, and in apparently a
calm frame of mind. By a
little strategy, Mr. Brooks,
his manager, induced hitn to
I enter a carriage, and he was
driven back to the hotel,
where ho arrived very excited
and angry. He struggled
desperately, and struck
Brooks with his cane. An-
other scene followed in induc-
ing him to reach his room. MisS
Tracy followed birn to the
hotel, crying convulsively,
but she succeeded in calming
the aritor and bfirging him
to realise that he vas not in
a condition to fill any engage-
ments for some time to come.
Just what McOullough
intends to do could not be
learned.
hours, something he has not
done for tSvo or three days.

IJIS FRIEND TELEGRAPHED
TO
- Chicago, Oct. 2—William
Connor, manager of John
Mc Cullotigh, Mr. Thompson,
a friend of the actor, both now
in New York, have been tele-
graphed to come and confer
>yith the tragedian's friends
here relative to taking some
action in regard to his futuro.
Mr, McCullough evinces some
slight improvement today.
IJe slept soundly two or three
The "old clo' man" is very
numerous on the streets of
Chicago this fall. You can
almost tell him a block away
by his shambling gait, bis dark,
swarthy countenance, and his
sinister appearance, as he
closely scrutinizes passers-by
—or, more correctly, tho
cloth's of passers-by—and
then occasionally, like a beg-
gar, approaches and says;
"Mine frient, haf you any
cast off cloding vich you might
vant to sell?" He is generally
a Polish Jew. His eyes seem
specially fitted for his business.
A h&lf-sleepy expression is all
the pedestrian might notice,
but he is far from asleep, fie
reads his man in the twink-
ling of an eye, and it is very
strange if he does not* know
the kind of a bargain to offer
that will please. He is a pro-
totype of the pawnbroker,
aud in the course of time ex-
peels to gruduate into tint
business, tli* only trouble at
present being his lack of cap-
ital. He is the recipient of
many cuffs and harsh words,
but he takes them meekly, and
is never abashed.
Otic of these men approach-
ed a Daily XeSys reporter yes-
terday and a bargain was
made, the purchaser accom
panying the reponer to his
room and investing in a suit
that was badly worn, for
which he could only be in-
duced to pay a mere pittance..
"Off I vos doing that busi-
ness for myself it would pe
different," he said in his plead-
ing way, s au excuse for not
giving more for the suit.
"Then you are merely an
agent1?"
'•Dot vos all, don'd you see.
Ve only pny for some ndder
mans, and he vas very pardi-
cular dot ve don't pay more
for de goots dan dey vos worth,
don'd you see."
"Why is it that there are
so many agents on the streets
this yearl"
"Yell, dat, vos because de
vinter vos goinin' on und de
dealers expect an extraordin-
ary large trade, don'd you see.
De times voS goin' to pe very
hart, and alretty de poor peo-
ples vos gompcllfed to buy sec-
ond hand clodhing."
"Is tho trade expected to
be much larger than usual
this winter'?"
"Yell, I should schmile!
Dere ain't a second hand
clodhing man in the city but
has got agents out, und dey
all oxpecd to carry a very
large ftock and do business
on a large scale. Yen hart
times gomes dp people can't
afford to buy new clothes,
uiino frient, und dot is vy de
dealers vos anxious to lay a
big 9tock, don'd voa see,"
IS ORATORY, THEN, A LOST
ART?
A campaign orator has
declared that "General Rutler
is walking up and down the
country like a lion, and
contont to catch any fish that
may fall into his net."
This is very good, but the
record remains unbroken. It
is still held by that peerless
orator who exclaimed in the
Commons that he smelt a rat,
he saw him brewing in tho
air, but he would yet nip him
in the bud.—Ex.
An Arab widow who lias a
chanie to marry again visits
her first husband's grave the
night before the second mar-
riage takes place, where she
kneels and prays him not to
be oftended at' her for taking
another husband. Hut. as h
guarantee against any failure
of her prayers to nppoase the
deceased, she takos along with
her a donkoy laden with water
and saturates tho grave, a pro-
ceeding which is calculated to
keep the dead husband cool
under the most aggravating
circumstances.
