The Trouble Began with the Mistakes of the lroperty Man and Only Ended When tho Curtain Fell on the lAst Act of "HeUmora." Josoph Jefferson's recollections of Edwin Forrest (forming a part of "The Autobiogra phy of Joseph Jefferson") is one of the enter taining features of the midwinter number of The Century Magazine, which will be issued Fob. 1. Four portraits of the famous trage dian accompany the article two represent ing him in costume and two as he appeared off the stage. Mr. Jefferson describes Forrest as a hand some fellow, with the form of an Apollo and Etrength of a Hercules; his deep musical voice under perfect control, and, in pathetic scenes, full of tears. FOKREST S3 METAMOItA. "During my long professional life I mot him frequently," adds Mr. Jefferson, "and I ehould say that much cf his unhappincss for ho was a very unhappy man came from an irritable temper, under little control."' From advance sheets of this article we quote the following an amusing illustration of Forrest's ungovernable temper: "At the conclusion of the Richmond en gagement," writes Mr. Jefferson, "the com pany journeyed to Washington, where wo wpre to open with Forrest an Metamora a character tnat he detested, and one that the public admired. Forrest was alw.vys in a state of intense irritation during tho rehear sal and performance of this drama. Irregu larities that lie would have overlooked under ordinary circumstances were now magnified to an enormous size, so that when he donned tho buckskin shirt and stuck tho hunting knife of the American savage in his wam pum belt ho was ready to scalp any offonding actor who dared to cross his path. The cop per colored liquid with which he stained his cheeks might literally have been called 'war paint.' "At tho rehearsal the poor property man, old Jake Search, got into a dreadful state of nervousness, and everything went wrong. Tho tragedian naturally held me, as stago manager, responsible for these accidents, par ticularly as tho unlucky Jako would conceal himself behind sot pieces, or mysteriously dis appear through traps as each mishap oc curred. In the midst of this dreadful con fusion, principally brought about by his own jll humor, .Forrest turned on me, saying that ho would not act that night, and strode out of the theatre. I hurried through the front af the house, and heading him off in tho alley addressed him, as nearly as I can remember, In the following words: " 'Air. Forrest, before you decide upon this jop lot mo stato an important fact, that per haps lias not crossed your mind.' Ho saw I was in earnest, and stopped short to listen, as I resumed: "Mr. Ford, tho manager, is ab sent, so I must take his responsibility to tho public on myself. The blunders on the stage this morning have been unfortunate, perhaps culpable, but you must pardon mo for saying that your excited manner and somowbat un reasonable demands have contributed not a little to confuso the company and bring about this disorder. But be that as it may, t hero Is another aud still more important matter to conder. Every seat in the tboacro is taken for to-night; tho audionco will crowd the house in expectation of a groat dramatic treat, to winch they havo been looking for ward for some time. " 'If you decline to act, and so break your contract with tho public, what course is left I for mo? "Why, only this: I must wait for the ' vat concourse of people to assemble, and then go before them and explain the reason of your mm-appearanco. I shall havo to make a clear statement oC the cam, and say that you have refund to act because there were somo blight discrepancies and irregulari ties in the rehearsal. Tho public arc, you know, quite unreasonable when their diver sion E checked, and it is likely that they will be indignant at the disappointment, failing to toe the reason as clearly as you may have dona 2fow, consider for a moment. Under these circumstances will it not be more, mag nauimotw in you to overlook the shortcom ings and go on with the rehearsal f "He pau-MKl for a moment mid said: 'I will not go back to the rehearsal. I am too much ex.o.ted, aud my presence on tho stage now t''i onlv inkf mnttPiN ore: but if you will Nervous Prostration, C 0 prevalent, especially among women, J results from overtaxing tho system. Tho assimilative organs becoming de ranged, the blood grows weak and im poverished, ami hence " that tired feel ing" of which many complain. For all such cases, thero is no remedy equal to Aycr's Sarsaparilla. Take no other. "Some time ago I found my svstem entirely run down. I had a feeling of constant fatigue and languor and very httlo ambition for any kind of effort. A friend advised me to try Ayer's Sara parilla, which I did with the best re sults. It has dono mo more good than nil other medicines I havo ever used." Frank .Mellows, Chelsea, Mass.

I was only too glad to get rfd of him on those terms, in his then intemperate state of mind. I went back to the stage and dismissed the rehearsal, cautioning the actors to do what they could to.render the night's performance creditable. I now began to hunt np tho de linquent and frightened property man, Jake Search an appropriate name for a fellow who needed so much looking after and dis covered him hiding under a pile of oldscenery. 'Is he goner said Search. 'Yes,' I an swered, 'but he will return to-night; so see that your properties are in good condition, or he will be the death of yon. "The night came and matters progressed fa vorably until the council scene. One of the characters here, being overcome with nerv ousness, reversed his questions to Metamora, giving the wrong lines, and of course receiv ing an absurd answer. Tho audience, rog niring the confusion of the dialogue, began to laugh, and of course this made matters worse- The act terminates with thendian'i great speech, 'From the east to the west, from the north to the south, the loud cry of vengeance shall be heard,' and here he hurls his knife into the center of the stage, where it quivers a defiance as the curtain falls. In his anger and excitement the blade failed to stick in the stage and bounded into the or chestra, the handle hitting the double bass player on the top of his head, which was as innocent of hair as a billiard ball, so as the curtain came down the old fellow was stamp ing about and rubbing his bald pate to the delight of the audience. "I realized now that the storm had burst in earnest, and that a total wreck would soon follow. Knowing that I could not avert tho catastrophe, and having no desire to face tho tragedian's wrath, like a politic but disloyal captain I deserted the ship and went in front to see it go down. Byron says of a battle, 'Oh, what a sight to him who has no friend or brother there I' to which Prentice adds, 'and is not there himself.' The latter was now my case. I was not there myself, and I did not intend to be, so from the secure cor ner of an upper private box I watched tho progress of the most disastrous performance I had ever seen. "As thecurtain rises on tho last act the tribe of Metamora should rash through the woods as their leader calls them; but by this time the braves were so frightened that they had become demoralized, and as the foremost rushed through the opening in tho woods his long bow got crosswise between two trees. This not only precipitated the redskin over it, but the entire tribe followed, tumbling head over heels into the middle of tho stage. I trembled now lest the 'big Injun' would re fuse to put in an appearance. At Inst, to my relief, the audience quieted down and Forrest strode upon the stage. If I remember the story, at this point Metamora's wife and chil dren had been stolon away and murdered. His pathos was fine, and by bis magnificent acting he reduced his audience to attention and enthusiasm. All was now going well, and I looked forward to a happy termination of the play, -which I was thankful to know had nearly reached its climax. "A funeral pile of burning fagote was then brought on, at which some pale face was to be sacrificed. Tho two Indians in charge of this mysterious looking article set it down so unsteadily that a large sponge, saturated with flaming alcohol, tumbled off and rolled down the stage, leaving a track of fire in its wake. 'Put it out!' said Forrest, 'put it out!' whereupon the two Indians went down on their knees and began to blow alternately in a seesaw way, singeing each other's eyebrows at every puff. Tho audience could not stand this comical picture, and began to break forth in laughter. 'Let tho theatre burn!' roared Forrest. "At last ono tall Indian, supposed to be sec ond in command, majestically waved off tho two who were blowing, and stamped his foot with force and dignity upon the flaming sponge, at which a perfect fountain of burn ing alcohol spouted up his leather legs. He caught fire, tried to put himself out, rubbing and jumping alwut frantically, and at last danced off the stago in the most comical ago ny. Forrest made a furious exit; thecurtain was dropped, and the public, in perfect good nature, dispersed. 1 mingled with the crowd as it weut forth, and I never saw an audi onco, at the end of a five act comedy, wreathed in such smiles." WEIR AND MURPHY. Tbe Spicier in Bad OiJor Soraethiur; About tho Meu's Records. The recent fight between Ike TVeir, the "Belfast Spider," aud Australian Murphy, which took place at the California Athletic club, in San Francisco, has been the means of Weir's losing many friends. Al though fourteen hard rounds were fought and both displayed surpris ing staying quali ties, there seems to bo a growing opin ion that Ike did not do his best. This is bad for him, as ho stood on rather shalcy ground be fore tbecontest,and t&g2&. Sr IKE WEIR. but one thing was necessary to right him be fore tho sporting pubh'c, and that was to wade in and fight to win. Ike's behavior m the ring is always pecu liar, and his antics cause much amuement for the spectators, and oftentimes great wor riment to his opponent. When ho enters the ring his face is adorned with a beautiful smile, and an expression of intent determina tion, such as "I'm-going-for-yon-my-unfor-tunato-friend,'' takes possession of him. But it soon wears away, especially if his unfor tunate friend knows iiow to fight. During the ii?ht with Murphy it faded away after the first few rounds. Ike was bcrn in Belfast, Ireland, twenty two years ago. He is o feet 4 inches in height aud tights at IIS pounds. His best fight was a sixty-four round draw with Jack lliivlin. Billy Murphy, who is now champion feather weight of tho" world, has held the title of chamoiou feather weight and lightweight of Australia. 1 He was born twenty-seven years ago, and ( began lighting wheu 19 years of age. Be- j fore leaving for America, he whip ped Jack O'Mcagh er with bare knuck les in three-quarters of an hour, aud Frank Burns in m rounds. He also bested Billy Mit chell, Saxon, Gul lerT Sam Stewart, and several others. He arrived in Sun BILLT JIURPIIV. Prnncisco Jims . 1SS0. and on Julv 12 he defeated Johnny Griffin in three rounds, j July SO he fought a twenty-six round draw with Frank Murphy, of England. Murphy's weight at his last contest was IISJ5 pounds, j while Weir's was V24)4 pounds, 6X pounds pounds more than he usually fights at. j BRIC-A-BRAC. . J Crumpled outlines Income colored glass.

NO DECREASE IN SALARIES LIKELY The Magnates Could Scarcely Afford to t Revenge Iofluence Their Treatment of the Men in Any Event X Prepara tory School for Ball Players. The ball players' Brotherhood, whether it' succeeds or not, will go down in baseball his tory as having accomplished a great deal for the players. Wisely directed by men who were not figuring on making themselves rich out of it, it would have continued always to have exerted a powerful influence on the National league and the game, and been a check upon those managers who might desiro to take undue advantage of tho players, and there are some managers willing to squeeze the men to the limit of the rules, and often beyond the limit. One could reason that a failure of the Brotherhood would put the players into a po sition where the League would grind them down into a worse condition than they ever were in as regards tho relations of employer and employe. And there are baseball writers who are asserting that such will surely be tho result of a collapse of the Brotherhood move ment. It is hard to imagine that any sensible man can really bring himself to believe in fcuch a fallacious argument, and certainly men who are supposed to devote themselves to a study of the game, its history in the past, and the history being made from day to day, must either be very prejudiced or very dull in analytical powers to champion such a theory. It is useless to theorize on what tho mag nates could do in the event of a collapse of the Brotherhood. The ouly line worth folr lowing out is the cue which is bordered by the things they could afford to do. Baseball has got beyohd the point of sentiment with both magnates and players. As played pro fessionally, it is a question of dollars and cents for both partiefc. That a balance shall be on the profit side of the ledger it is neces sary to give the public a square, honest and artistic gume, played for all it is, worth and decided on its merits. There is too much capital locked up in the game, aud the bread and butter of too many people depends upon its success for the magnates to jeopardize it. Truly said tho players, in referring to the magnates, "Their eyes are in the turnstile," and if they had added, "and ours are glued to the same indicator," they would have com pleted a perfect sentence. Tho tremendous amount of newspaper dis cussion that the b;Aeball war has aroused has resulted in a more thorough understand ing by tho public of the relations between magnate aud player than has ever before ex isted. Millions of people have taken up one side or the other, but there are other millions who love tho game more than either player or magnate, who know that the player is comparatively bat tho hero of a day and that Jood, fair and houest sport can only be got from well paid, contented men under good rules and discipline properly administered. It is this class of baseball enthusiasts "who would hold tho balance of porver and prevent injustice to the player with the turnstile 'lub. It would not be human nature if the mag nates did not have feelings of dislike against the ringleaders who havo endeavored to de stroy their business interests and a desire to even up for the attempt should it faiL The chances are that in the course of time the League would endeavor to get squaro with these men, but as against the rank and file, whom tho magnates claim have been led by tho nose, there would be no feeling, iyen the leaders would bo safe against League dislike or revenge for a long time because public opinion as expressed in dollars and cents would not sanction any harsh meas ures towards them. Eventually they might be made to feel the weight, but tho League could not afford to make it very heavy. As to salaries, there ii not tbe least reason or argument to believe that they would be smaller bhould tho Brotherhood collapse than they are now, except in possibly a few cases. Those stars who have been accorded a large increase have long contracts, at the expira tion of whichtheyv.il! have little difficulty in renewing 11 meir piaymg auuicy is w same. There were only a few of the present League cities which were unable to pay large salaries in 1S&), but it was because the gate receipts were not fairly divided. Under th 40 per cent, division adopted by the League this year, these cities can now afford to, and will have to, pay first class salaries. It is true that in the case of young players jut making a start, salaries will be low, as they always have been, and they may have to serve a somewhat longer time at medium rates before getting the remuneration of the present stars. It is not at all unlikely that many new men of good repute engaged will bo signed for from one to three years at from ?2,000 to $2,500, aud will have to hold their own in good shape in order to get an increase or hold their own at the end of the term of tervice. It is also probable that all the clubs will engage from three to five young players each, at small salaries, say $1,000 to 1,3C0, who have exhibited promise. The men will make quite a comfortable living while prac ticing and developing themselves tobefutura stars.

I do not know that such a plan has ever been considered, but it is easy to reason out that it would be a natural result of the players' revolt. Each club could well afford to spend $5,000 a year for the purpose I have indicated, aud thus establish prepara tory schools for future League stars, which would be in the end quite &J profitable as paying fancy prices for imcor league play ers. Indeed, as the youngsters developed, they might be loaned to minor League- clubs to complete their baseball education. That there would be any general decrease of salaries in the National league in event of Ward's failure to establish a rival league and crush out his old employers does not, upon analysis, seem probable, unless the public should lose interest and the gate receipts hs largely diminished. A marked and continued diminution of revenue would, of course, be likely to scale salaries. The failure of the Brotherhood would not in any appreciable degree destroy the con cessions which its existence has wrung from the League. To a certain extent it has been of incalculable benefit to the player of the future as well as the player of the day; but its mission was. to help the player and the game, not to destroy the League, which, with all its faults, has brought the game, as played by professionals, from the gutter to its pres ent high plane of honesty. The Brotherhood, as an organization within the League, neu tralized the eJfectt. ot great success on the part of the magnates which were like to do injury and injustice to the player. Should it fail as an organisation outside the League I do not believe the reforms it orouglic about will be lost to the players. W. I. Harris.
