George Alferd Townsend contributes an article to the April number of The Century accounting for a week in the history of Wilkes Booth's flight after the assassination of President Lincoln unac- counted for in that history as hitherto related. Lincoln was shot at about 10 o'clock Friday night, April 14, 1865, Near midnight he and David E. Harold called at Surratt’s tavern about ten miles southeast of Washington, Saturday morning they were at Dr. Samuel A. Mudd’s twenty miles further on, where Bootn’s broken ankle was set and a crutch was made for him; that evening he was at the house of Samuel Cox, a prosperous southern sympathizer, living about fifteen miles soutwest. The lust witness in Maryland ended here. The government took up the fugitive next at the erossing of the Rappahannock river in Virginia, on the 24th of April. What oceurred to Booth in the interval Mr. Townsend tells on the authority of one Thomas A. Jones, a foster-brother of Samuel Cox, who always exerted a strong influence over him, Jones was of course at this time a strong sympa- thizer with the southern cause, which he had aided] throughout the war in his own small way. He is at present in business at North Baltimore, and keeps a coal, wood and fuel yard. Among the services which Jones rendered the con- foderacy was the carrying of persons and mails across the Potomac, a service in- volving some dangor, and_frequently re quiring coolness and cunning. His use- fulness in this direction was increased by the fact that after being arrested in 1861 and released in March, 1862, he was not regarded with any suspicion by the fed- eral officers. He was aware of the scheme which existed late in the war period, for kidnapping President Lincoln, though it was not designed that he should take uny part in it. The bateau which was to carry Lincoln across the river was keptin readiness from the time the scheme was conceived until the end of the war. Jones heard of the murder of Lincoln on Saturday afternoon, April 15, The next morning Jones was summoned to Cox's residence, the young white man who bore the message intimating mysteriously that there wero very remarkable visitors at Cox’s the night before. Jones’ responded to the summons,and being taken aside by Cox was informed that on the previous night the assassin of Lincoln had come to the house in company with another person, guided by a negro, and had THE DAILY BEE ‘OMAHA, FRIDAY MARCH 28,1884 Je—— procured food for him at the house. On Sunday morning, the ninth day after the assassination, they reached Nirs. Quesen berry's, and left their boat there, They went to the house of a man named Bryan, on the next farm to Mrs. Quesenberry's, and Bryan took them to the summer house of Dr. Richard Stewart, two or three miles back in the country. Dr. Stewart was much annoyed at learning that the assassing of President Lincoln were on his pramises, and did not invite them into his house, but sent them to one of the out-buildings. Dooth was #0 chagrined that he took a leaf from his dairy, and with a lead pencil wrote a lot- ter to Dr., Stewart, saying he would not take hospitality extended in that way without paying for it, and_inclosed £3. From Dr. Stewart's he had bimself con- veyed to Port Codway. He probably spent Sunday in Bryan's house, got to Dr. Stewart’s house on Monday, and the same day reached the Rappahannock river, and went across with Capt. Jett. This crossing was made on Monday, April 24. That afterncon he was lodged at Garrett's farm, three miles back. He spent the next day at this house, and slept in the barn. Being informed that a large body of federal cavalry had gone up the road this Tuesday, he was much distressed, On Wednesday morning, soon after midnight, the cavalry returned, guided by Capt. Jett. The barn was set afire and Booth shot soon after 3 o'clock in the morning. He died a little after sunrise on Wednesday. — Horsford's Acid Phosphate. Valuable Medicine. Dr. W. H.

What Actors and Actresses Thin Avont It, Fanny Davenport Finds No Fluid, No Food and Constant Walking The Only Method of Getting Thin and Keeping So, Naw York Sun, Among the stout members of the thea- trical profession there has lately spring up a desire to ‘‘bant,” that is, to carry out the principles laid down some twenty years ago by William Banting for the reduction of obesity. The fashion was set by Miss Fanny Davenpcrt, who recently informed the writer of her mode of pro- cedure. She said: “1 found myself growing heavier rapid- ly, although, being tall, was able to carry more flesh with less inconvenience than most women. But ons day, when in London, 1 got weighed, and was so startled I may say alarmed- at the in- crease of weight, that I said to myself, ‘Here, this must stop!’ “All very easy to say, but how to make it stop was the question, “‘Kirat I began to read all 1 coula find on the subject of the reduction of flesh, and decided that the old Banting syste was the best. I was much given to eating candies and pies; it cost me a great effort to relinquish these, especially the pastry, for I am all an American as faras liking pie is concerned. Still, I did it, T used s to carry a box of bon-bons in my pocket, and when 1 first laid it aside I was as much lost without it as a contirmed snuff taker would be without his snuff box. But quite a marked decrease in weight rewarded my self-denial and en- couraged mo to persevere. Water, too, was another weakness of mine. 1 used to drink, even in water, several tumbler- fulls, one after the other, and very feely has resumed the juvenile roles, He says he lost seventeen pounds in three weeks by abstaining from bread and butter alone. The question that naturally pre- sonts itself to the inquirer into this sub- ject is, how much bread and butter are required to make seventeen pounds o flesh ! William Mestayer says no, he never bants. Why should he, wnen flesh is not a drawback, but rather the reverse in his line of business! There are several other prominent fat actors whose face is their fortune, so they care too little for their figure to refuse the goods the gods provide for the table, especially as in loss prosperous times semi-starvation was not voluntary, but enforced. And talking of faces, the Banting sys- tem spoils the face almost as much as it benefits the figure. After three weeks of steady banting the face becomes wrinkled and haggard, the cheeks drop down on to the seamy, erst double, chin, now a corrugated bag of flesh, There is a pinched look about the nose, which takes on a toper-like tint, the skin on the forchead gets stretched and tight, and the eyes bulge out as their bed of flesh is withdrawn, The hands, too, become wrinkled as in age. But the most seri- ous trouble superinduced by the Banting system is the degeneration of the digest- ive faculties, to which the recont death of Count Chambord was directly due. He had followed the instructions pro- pounded by Banting for the reduction of his weight, and so brought about a com- plicasion of incurable maladies. o — In Use 150 Years, Impurity of Blood, however generated, ia always present in the bedy when pain is felt; it spreads and ferments wherever a weak spot or low vitality exists. Braxoreru’s Piuis are the one great and unfailing remedy, because they take hold and expel ouly what is hurtful; so when sick, have pain, dizziness, rheuma- tism, colds or costiveness,take from three to five, and if they do not operate in four hours or 8o, take three or four more. They cleanse the bowels and circulation from all impurities of the blood,and often save life. Braxarern's Priis preserve while eating.

The place was evidently what the proprietor claimed it to be—the na- tional headquarters of tho loaded-cigar business, Pyramids of boxes of cigars, fresh from the hands of the packer, were ranged along the floor, and built against the walls, and piled up in the windows, Tho reporter said he wished to see some “0l1d Sports.” The proprietor led the way to ono of the pyramids, and opening one of the chromo-covered boxesdisplayed what scomed to boa box of choice Ha- vanas, fresh and fragrant in all their asked for assistance to cross the Potomac river; ‘“‘and,” said Cox, *‘you will have to got him across.” He was directed to the place where the fugitives were hidden among some short pines near by, and there he found them. As he advanced into the pines he came upon a saddled mare roving around in a little cleared space, and tied her. He thon gave a sig- nel, and Herold fully armed and with a caabine in his hand, came out. Herold conducted him to Booth, who was lying on_the ground wrapped up in blankots, and a crutch beside him. His rumpled dress looked respectable for that country, and Jones says it was of black cloth, His face was pale at all times, and never censed to be so during the several days that Jones saw him, He was in great pain from his broken ankle, which had suffered a fracture of one of the two bones in the leg down close to the foot. It would not have given him any great pain_but for the exoertion of his escape, which irritated it by scraping the ends of the broken bone, perhaps, in the flesh. It was now highly irritated, and which- ever way the man moved he expressed by a twitch or a groan the pain he felt. Booth was very solicitous to know what mankind thought of his crime, which he fully admitted. He was very anxious to get to Virginia, where he could have medical attendance, and he declared that he would never be taken alive. In aday or two Jones went to Port Tobacco to hear about the murder, and while there heard a detective say he would guarantee §100,000 to the man who could tell where Booth was, but it never occurred to him for a moment that it would be a good thing for him to have the money. He comforted Booth in his concealment as he could, visiting him daily, and carried him food. With the fugitives in their concealment were two horses on which they had rode. Within a day or two after entering the place, Booth heard a baud of cavalry go- ing along the road at no great distanco and the neighing of their horses. He said to Herold: *‘If we can hear those horses, they can certainly hear the neigh- ing of ours, which are uneasy from want of food and stabling.” Jones subse- quently said the horse ought to be put out of the way, and thoy were accor- dingly taken into a swamp and shot. No incidents broke the monotony for days, though soldiers rode hither and thisher examining the marshes, but not penetrating thepines. Six daysandnights the fugiti remained in concealment, and on KFriday night an opportunity presenced_itself for escapo. The night was picch dark, and Jones had found that the soldiers would be out of the way., He had but one little wkiff in which to make the ferriage of the river. Going to Booth and Herold he said: **Now, friends, this is your only chance. The night is pitch dark and my boat is close by. I will get you some supper at my house, and send you off if I can, With considerable difliculty and with sighs and pain Booth was lifted on to Jones' horse, and Herold was put at the bridle. Jones led the way, progress being made in silence, except as Jones occasionally gave a whistle as a signal, They stopped near Jones' house. Booth, with a sudden longing, exclaimed, *Oh, can’t I go in the house justa moment and get a little of your warm coffee?” Tears came into Jones' eyes as he denied the request, because, as he said, there were negroes in the house who would betray them, Jones went in, ate his supper without haste, rejoined the fugitives and proceeded te where his boat was, Booth was carried to ¢he toat and em- barked with Herold Both were heavily armed, Jones gsve Booth the direc- tions as o the vourse to be steered, and told him to fow up Machodoc creek to the huunaj a Mrs, Quesenberry, who would «are for them if his name were used They were together at the water gi/ some time, and at last Booth said to jones with emotion: *'God bless you, my dear friend, for all you have dona for me. " The last words Jones thinks Booth wid were: *Good-bye, old fellow!” There was & moment's sound of oars on the water and the fugitives were gone, They did not succeed in crossing the river that Friday night, but struck the ve | residence of Col. Jobn J. Hué;hel, near Nunjemoy Stores in Maryland, west of Pope's creek about eight ‘miles. Booth hidin the marsh near by, and Herold treachorous beauty. “What's the price!” asked the roporter, feeling strongly tempted to buy five or 10 cents’ worth, “Fifty-five dollars,” replied the pro- prietor. “Ah! And what are they usually re- tailed at!” ““Ten cents each, or three for a quarter, I guess.” Then in response to further questioning the proprietor explained that his firm did a wholesale business only, and, morcover, that they bossed the loaded-cigar business in the United States—a statement which he made with ovident pride. ““There's a firm in Cincinnati,” he con- tinued, *‘that tried to get into this busi- ness and imitate our cigar. They couldn’t doit. When their cigars got dry after being kept a while in stock, and a man go to smoke one o them, why, it wouldn't blaze out Roman-candle style like ours, but would explode—slap bang! and blow the half of his head off.” The reporter pondered a little on the number of-half heads that must be strewn around Cincinnati. Then he said: **Did they not know how to make the—the thing you load with?” “Tho cartridge. You bet they didn't! That’s our secret. 1f once that got out we would have many imitators, but as it in the trado is not a good-enough-paying one to tempt manufacturers to spend money in experimenting. It is easy to get a cartridge that will blaze 1n a shower of sparks while it is fresh and damp, but the troublo is that when it is porfectly dry it goes oft like a shot, Ours is not that kind. We have been working at this thing about three years, and we have got a cartridge perfectly harmless and one that gives the same results in either con- dition, wet or dry.” Further inquiry developed the stato- ments that the loaded-cigar trade booms only about holiday-time. About July 4 the sales reach as high as 10,000 cigars a week, and other holidays, such as Christ- mas-Day, they run from 2,000 to 5,000 a week. Thosales about April 1 average nearly i aweek. In the quiet time betwoer holidays the sales run as low as 1,000 per month. These figures are not for Chicago alone, but for the whole country. The cigars are manufactured in Chizago, and the firm has an castorn dis- tributing-branch at New York. The proprietor believed these loaded cigars were rotailed at about fifty cigar- stands in the city, but complained that the trade was not pushed with the anergy usually characteristic of Chi- cago busivessmen. He hoped, how- ovor, to see it considerably improved by- and by. It would seem from this that the Chi- oago people are not yet educated up to the loaded-cigar standard of humor 1f this firm wanted a bonanza it should move its headquarters to Boston, with a west- ern branch at St. Louis, The sum of the reporter's investigation is that the number of people who would traitorously offer a poisonous concoction of saltnetre and onh‘mgu-lfllf in the guise of & good cigar-—tke common symbol of peace and friendship—is creditably small in this city, Those who would do so would throw stones at their grandmothers and oall it fun, and are just the kind of peo- ple who deserve to be lynched on general principles, — Why use a gritty, muddy, disagreea- ble articlo when Hood’s Sarsaparilla, so pure so clear, so delightful can be tained 50 cl §1.00. The Boom Killer, Chicago Times. The wood-cut engraver has become an important politicalforce., With his malici ous instruments he may easily destroy the most promising presidential boom, Mr, Holman fell a victim to his malice early in the season, and several other candidates have seen their booms dis- appear simultaneously with the appear- ance of the *‘portraits.,” The latest rreuidentilxl possibility upon which he has exercised his fatal unskillfulness is Mr, Flower, one of the numerous favorite sons of New York. Mr. Flower has been kindlier dealt with than any of his prede- cessors, But still it is not a beauteous Flower, and ho might as well say *'ta-ta to his little boom, as other illustrated statesmen have been compelled to do. ob. it supply its place — wine—beer!” “‘No, those I nover cared for. I drink iced tea, winter and summer, and never anything else. NEXT, I BANISHED BREAD from my list of fattening foods, and for months 1 have not touched it. Inhospit- able I undoubtedly am, since I never ‘break bread’ with any sne."” ““How about vegetables!” *‘As I never cared much for them, to abstain from them altogether is not a deprivation.”’ “Then 1t is true, as they say, that you eat nothing but beef?” “No, it 1sn’t either, for I cat mutton, poultry, eggs and fish. But I do not attribute my lessening of flesh solely to abstinence from certain articles of food, but to the exercise I take. I used to ride everywhere, now, I never ride when I can walk, not even in a car. Sometimes, indecd, whenever my time permits, I start out in the morning and walk all day long, no matter what the weather may be. At firat 1 used to return so tired that I could hardly get through the perfcrmance, but now it seems to me the longer I walk, the fresher I become. In short, to sum it all up, in my opinion the only way to become thin, and to keep thin, is first, no fluids; second, no food (worth speak. ing of); third, constant walking. To one who has suffered from a superfluity of flesh, the lightness which is the immedi- ate result of banting compensates for the doprivation of gustatory pleasures. Whereas I used to feel heavy, I now feel as light on my feet as a child on parlor skates.” Miss Effie Germon, the charming seu- brette of Wallack’s theater, has also tried the Banting system, but with different results from those experienced by Miss Davenport. In answer to a question on the subject, she replied, with a laugh: “Have I tried to reduce my bulk by banting? That I have. I abstained from fattening tood until I got so weak T could hardly walk, and I gained all the time in weight.

Stouter and stouter did 1 grow on that t1ll I was obliged to give it up, 80 that of late I do nothing but take all the exercise I can, und that seems to keep me about tho same weight from year to year.” Mrs. Eldridge, who plags the old wo- man in Edwin Booth's company, called aflectionately ““Aunt Lou,” declares she is a ‘‘natural banter,” inasmuch as she never wants to eat or drink anything of a fattening tendency, and so keeps her figure as trim as that of a girl. Roso Eytingo is a very abstemious eater as a rulo; but in the springtime partakes of spring vegetables, and grows stout as the summer comes on, and then tramns down fur the winter campaign, She drinks French coffee without milk or sugar. Agnes Booth and Sara Jewett aro both celebrated for their beautiful forms. Both have handsome backs, a great ad- vantage in these days, when dresses are cut so low in the back as to display the shoulder blades. Both ladies regulate their diet so as to keep up that degree of plumpness which is the first essential of beauty, Good looks, both of form and feature, are the stock in trade of an actress. The actor, having less need of either, cares less whether flesh or advancing years deteriorate the shapeliness of his figure. Still, for those who play young parts, ity is considered misfurtune, as in the case of McKee Rankin, who played the role of ayoung hero in *‘Storm- Beaten,” when, at the beginning of this season it was produced at the Union Square theatre. He had to place him- self in all sorts of negligent attitudes, such as throwing himself at full length AT THE FEET OF HIS SWEETHEART, as Hamlet does in the play scene. Baing 80 large, Rankin could not toss himself about like a feather, and his efforts to do 80 were more amusing than sentimental, and for this reason principally, he re- signed his [role to an actor of lighter b_ul]«l. My, Joseph Whiting, also of the Square Theatre, was for some time con- demned by his bulk to play parts of widdle age, but having lately become a most determined banter, he has made his figure so trim and youthful that helinjure the skin. the vigor of youth, and fcr a long period keop of tho debility of age. 0ld in every drug and medicine store, with plain printed directions for use. The Adventure of a Boy With a Bear and Two Lions, Mariposa (Cal.) Gazett James Lawrence and Pike, the well- known guide and bear hunter of Yose- mite valley, have been camping during the winter season on Alder creek, about five miles above Big Tree station. This locality is in the midst of a hoavy pine forest and underwrowth of shrubbery and a variety of woods, bordering upon the north bank of the south fork of the Merced river, and abounds with game. Lawrence has a boy 11 years old (a half- breed Indian), who is stopping in the camp. At this time the snow is three feet deep all the way from the station to Alder creek, and the only visitor to that section where Lawrence and Pike are housed up for the winter was Willlam Van Campen, who was there on Feb, 25, While there the following most perilous and romantic adventure of the boy, which had occurred but a day or two previous, was related to Mr. Van Campen: The boy went out hunting by himself, and when about a mile from home came across a buck, which he shot, and, as he supposed had killed, and was about to cut the throat of of his game preparatory to hanging it up to a tree when the deer jumped up and made an attack upon the boy, which caused him to beat a hasty rotreat, and seek shelter up a tree. In the meantime a dog which ac- companied him engaged the buck in a tussle, until, from the loss of blood.oc- casioned by the shot, 1t weakened, and the boy came down, cut its throat, and hung it up He then started for camp to get assistance to carry in his gamo and had gone buta short distance when he discovered two California lions, which no doubt smelled the blood of the deer and were in close pursuit after him. Being but a short distance from camp, the boy ran as fast as ho could through the deop snow, with the lions close after him, and just as ne was turning a point of a ridge he came suddenly upon a bear, which stood his ground and allowed the boy to angle his course and pass on. At this point the two hons and the bear met and as the boy looked back he observed them in apparent consultation as they stood together. From this point the boy ran and hallooed as loud as he could which was heard by Pike and Lawrenc who were in camp. They forthwith grab- bed their guns and went to the boy’s re. lief. On taking the back track, they came to the spot where the lions and bear had trampled the snow, and, to all ap- pearances, held a council and departed, the lions taking the batk track and the bear going in an opposite direction. It was probably well for the boy that he was of Indian blood, otherwise his wits would have been frightened out of him, Two lions and one bear was enough for one day's adventure.
