THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. THE LATE JOHN BROWN. The Queen's Tribute. From the New York World. ‘The tribute which Queen Victoria paid to the memory of John Brown was almost—it may even be said was really—unprecedented In its emphasis and warmth. Never, perhaps, In the history of the civilized world has the ruler of a great empire made public sach a memorial of a servant in humble station. ‘‘To Her Majesty, the Queen wrote in the Court Circular, “the loss is irreparable, and the death of this traly faithfal and devoted servant has been a grievous hock to the Queen. An honest, faithful and ‘voted follower, a trustworthy, dis¢reet and ‘aichtforward man, and possessed of strong nse, he filled a position of great and anxious re- apt ity, the duties of which he performed Uh such constant and unceasing care as to secure for himself the real frierdship of the Queen.” It was nearly two years since the Circular had publish 4 a similar expression of royal sorrow, and the fact deserves to be noted that, thouzh Victoria’s tribute to the Earl of Beaconsfield was earnest and explicit, it was 1ot characterized by the same tenderneas of per- sonal feeling nor was it nearly so long. The paragraph published April 19, 1881, was as fol- lows: The Queen received this morning, with feel- ings of the deepest sorrow, the sad Intelligence ofthe death of the Earl of Beaconsfield, in whom Her Majesty loses a most valued and de- voted friend and counsellor, and the nation one of its most distinguished statesmen.” <> THE DEATH OF BEN RUSSELL. ‘The First of Many Men Who Married Adah Isaacs Menken. *Macon™ in the Cincinn:ti Enquirer. The death of Ben Russetl, Adah Isaacs Men- ken’s first husband, recalls recollections of that sifted but erratic daughter of genius. It was in SoS that she made her dramatic debut in this city at theold National Theater. At this time sheaspired to be a tragedienne, and her piece de resistance was “The Jewess; or, the Connell of Constance.” Shortly before com- meneing here she had played in Dayton, and, for some reason or other, she was taken up by a military organization, then called the Dayton Light Infantry, and made its honorary commander, and for awhile she disported as Captain Adah Isaacs Menken. Her week at the National was neither a financial nor artistic success, and she bext went to Louisville, where for atime she supported the then young tra- dian, Edwin Booth, playing Ophelia, Desde- monia and Lady Macheth.” Her success as a leading lady was not ptonounced, and she re- turned to this city just as John C. Heenan made his first appearance here. The Benicia Boy had been defeated by John Morrissey, but the gal- lant manner in which he had fought, his pleas- ant manuers and his magnificent appearance, made bim many friends. “Who ig that splendid looking man?" asked Adah the first time she saw him. They were introduced, and then and there began tie ac- quaintanceship that culminated In their marriage shortly afterwards. Heenan goon tired of her, and left her to go to England to fight Tom Sayers. Adah was a capital advertiser and made all the use possible of her marriage to the great pugilist to stimulate interest in her as an actress. She wrote poetic effusions to him and published them in the Cépper, and there ts no denying that she made considerable capital of the fact that she was the Benicia Boy's wife. He used her very ungallantly, however, took her earnings, beat and was unfaithful to her, and finally denied that she was bis wite. She soon became 80 popular as Mazeppa that she no longer needed the assistance of his name, but in her proceed- ings for divorce she clearly established the fact that he had gone through the marriage cere- mony with her betore a clergyman, and a decree was granted her. Heenan afterwards married another actress, named Sara Stevens, in Eng- land. “The Menken,” as she delighted to be called, became one of the most profitable stars in this country and in England, and numbered among her warmest adinirers members of roy- alty and nobility and Charles Dickens and Al- exander Dumas, sr. The latter was especially fond of her, and one of the best photographs ever taken of her represents him sitting with her on his knee. Her career was short and merry after she at- tained popularity, and she dicd suddenly in Varis, was buried in Pere la Chaise, where a tombstone (erected through funds raised by | subscriptions in this country) bearing the simple inscription, Thou Knowest,” marks the spot where all that was mortal of her lies. Men- ken spoke and wrote several languages fluently and many of her poems bear evidences ot true genius. A number of the best of these were gathered together and published under the titie of “Infelice." And yet this woman, whose beauty and talents aflerwards commanded the attention and admiration not only of princes of the royal blood, but kings of literature as Well, was glad at the beginning of ler career to link her name with that f a brutal gladiator, in order that she mixht gain the plaudits of the poputace. “How # refined, beautiful woman like you could y: witha mere athlete like Heenan puzzles me, sald I to her once. I was but a youngster then. “Bah, boy," she replied, “when you grow older you will know better, and you will see why. Every man isa heroin the eyes of his sweet- heart. There is nothing in the world that women so love as_ bravery In a man, whether it be shown amld the carnage of a battle-feld or in a contest with nature's weapons. Nature de- lights in contrarieties, and I'am her child. He has the heart of ahero, and the stature, the physique, the brawn, the thews and the sinews ofademigod. You say I am refined and beau- tiful. There is where the unity of the opposite comes in. But there 1s also the doctrine of affinity. It was not until I found that his bravery was merely that of a brute and that he was but mere animal that my better nature revolted and I tore myself from him.” s THE QUEEN'S LONELINESS. A Pathetic Aspect of the Personal Posi- tien of England’s Queen. From the London Spectator, There is something very touching and mother- like inthe frankness with which the Queen, through the Court Circular, asks her people to sympathize in the grief she feels for the loss of a devoted attendant. We wonder how many of her subjects ever reflect on the pathetic element ‘Thereis nm one name, or, indeed, on any terms of equality, while all her children but one are married, scat- tered, immersed in business and housebolds of their own. It1salonely peak to sit on, at the top of the world, aud as age draws on the sovereign, who already has reigned so long that men passing middle age have consciously known no other, must feel this more and more pain- fully, with a sadness which the movement of the World does not diminish. We are no devo- tees of monarchy, gravely holding self-govern- ment to be more educative and more dignified, but there has never been In history a reign like that of Queen Victoria, who, surrounded by an im- Denetrable etiquette. breaks it to tell her people that devotion, even in the humbleat of followers, has roused in her “real friendship.” Republi- canism in England sleeps and will sleep while the Queen reigns. Is there not in that mere truism a sufficient biography? Arbor Day, From the New York Sun. ov. Dawes, of Nebraska, hag invited the people of that state to celebrate Wednesday, April 18, as “Arbor Day,” by planting trees, For the purpose of encouraging a general ob- servance of the day, the state board of agricul- ture have offered an “Arbor Day premium,” to be given to the person planting the largest number of trees upon that day. ey have is- sued a classified list of the varieties of trees, the planting of which they desire to encor . ‘This premium, ft should be said, is in addit! to liberal premiums offered by the board to the per- son planting the largest number of trees during the year. It seems that the authorities of at least one state appreciate the great and growing dangers arising oat the reckless destruction of forests which has been going on with such rapidity in the last quarter of a century. The plan adopted by the board of agriculture and Gov. Dawes is an excellent one. Aside from the actual increase inthe number of trees planted each year, the custom of setting apart ® special day for tree planting cannot but bevalnable in an education- alsense, It seems to be all but a hopeless task to endeavor to impress upon any large number of persons in the it generation the dis- astrous results which the gradual extliction or American forests is every year bringing nearer; but the generation now growing up may acquire an interest in arboriculture and a proper idea of its Importance if they see the state appointing a oy for setting out trees and otherwise encour- ing its citizens in the same useful and agree- able work, We cominend this Nebraska idea of an arbor day to all the other states. It promises to be a that agreeable way of doing & public work that must be done sooner or throughout the country. The people of Nebraska are wise in not putting off their share ot that work a day longer than 1s pocassary. 2d Edition. lst Tegra to ‘Th Sar Suicide or Fout Piny? Pevenspura, Va..

SLIGHT ADVANCE ON THE GENERAL STOCK LIST. New York, April 18—The Post's Nnancial arti- cle says: ‘Te stock market was generally strong throughout the forenoon, and the advance of y terday was fully maintained on noarly all stocks. The only exceptions to this were Union Pacific and Northwesiern, which were a fraction be- low the closing prices of last night. Other- wise than this the net result of the fore- noon’s business was an advance of salt on the general list over last night's prices, the latter on Jersey Central, in which tt 1s reported there will be a contest for the stock to control the election. The features of the forenoon among: the usually active speculative stocks were Jersey Central, Lackawanna, 8t Paul and Unicn Pacific, the three first named of which were higher, and the last a fraction lower, Hannibal and St. Joseph preferred was a special feature, and advanced from 65% last night to’ 016 this afternoun on sales of 2200 shares. The common stock of Hannibal and 8t. Joe, of which the last saie on April 11th was at 41, sold this forenoon at 41, 49 and 43. Burlington’ and Quincy has declined in proportion to the advance ih St. Joe, and declined 2 per cent from the open- Ing to 128. Alton and Terre Haute preferred wastl higher at 103, Richmond and Danville 1% higher at 63,and Richmond and West Point 1 higher at353. Total sales up to 12:30 o'clock were about 245,000 shares, Government bonds were unchanged’ in the forenoon; state bonds were dull and a fraction higher.

These were followed by vocal and tnstru- mental music, and later by an elegant and Dounteous repast. Alex.

Bell to summon witnesses trom a foreign jurisdiction, The deceased—Mr. Nugent— had been sent for a police officer to quiet Fenner, who was acting in a disorderly manner at the boarding-ouse of Mrs. Koss, No. 104 B street northwest, and {t 1s clatmed that Fenner, seeing the oficer (Skelly) approach, fred at him and Augene received the shot, hen the motion was presented this morning, District Attorney Corkhill said that he was pret pared to admit the testimony of some of these wit. nesses, and he understood that some of it would be to the effect that Fenner had been an tumate in a lunatic asylum in Kentucky, from which he was discharged, “incurable but harmless” He had understood trom Dr. Godding that the prisoner Is a AC subject for the ineane asylum.
