Post Onice Address, Silver City, N. A 1'altietlo Trngcily. At the performance of tho pantomimo "Dick Vliittiii;;ton" ut a London thea ter oil Wednesday evening tho leading actress, Kitty Tirrell, had just spoken a few lines, ending with, "Ilia road to fortuno he'll pave o'er my corse," when sho fell in a faint, was carried oat nud died in her dressing room a few miu utcB later. Her husband, Harry Ewius, who played tho clown as King Rat, had to appear during tho rest of tho per formance as if nothing had happened. What makes tho pathetic tragedy more than of local interest is tho fact that tho doctora testified at the inquest that tho woman's death was undoubtedly caused by tight lacing. Tho pressure was so great that her heart stopped beating. Loudon Correspondent. SENTIMENTAL FLAPDOODLE. An American family. Including a Do;, Make a, 8eosalion Iu Tarla.
