Gilbert, Who Fell on the Stage of a Washington Theatre, Now in a Dangerous Condition; Friends Alarmed. ‘KNOWN TO PLAYGOERS OF TWO, GENERATIONS. Long a Member of Augustin Daly’s Stock Company, and for the Last Four Years witit Annie Russell. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Mrs. G. H. Gilber® the oldest living actress, is so eritically ill her physicians fear that on account of her exhausted vitality she will not recover from the effects of her fall in the theatre a few days ago. Mrs. Gilbert, who up to the time of her accident was a member of the Annie Russell company, is known to the utagegocrs of two generations. Hers is one of thesmost honored names tn the story ‘of American actors and actresses. Her charming personality, her genial, lovable ways and natural felicity endeared her to all, particularly to those of the stage. For many years Mrs. Gilbert was one of the fine figures of the Augustin Daly Stock Company. In the company with Ada Rehan, John Drew and James Lewis she made many successes, In \ lator years, after the disbanding of the famous Daly company, Mrs. Gilbert played as second to the the younger women stars of the Frohman organize ‘sations, For the las four years she has been associated with Annie Russell. Played with Famous Actors, Perhaps no actress has played with more famous actors than Mrs. Gilbert. She was born in England in 1822. Her first stage efforts were in the ballet at the London Haymarket. In 1845, after yome light successes on the dramatic stage, ahe married George H. Gilbert, actor and manager. Four years later she camg to America. For fifteen years she played in West- ern cities under the management of John B. Rice, Lewis Baker, John Ells- ler and George Wood. She knew during this period what minery and viscissitudé meant, experiencing the labor and sor- row that come with the grind of the stage when great success has not shown itself, It was in 1834 that she made her first appearance on a New York stage. Ghe became associated with the most brilliant successes of William J. Flor- ence, Barney Williams, Wallack and Edwin Booth. Her range was so wide that she not only played tho great Bhakespearian roles, but won lasting famo in the lighter Mrs. Malaprop, Mrs, Gamp and Meg Merriles. Of late years Mrs. Gilbert only played the roles of the granddame or the el- @erly lady. POST-OFFICE THIEF STOLE 100 LETTERS flobbery at Glen Ridge Reveated by Finding of the Opened Mail on a Jersey City Ferry- Boat. Post-OMice Inspectors from New Yoric went to Glen Ridge, N. J., to-day to run down a thief who entered the Post: Office there on Tuesday night and stole a large number of letters and a few cents In cash, ‘The robbery was only discovered by the merest chance, as the Postmaster at Glen Ridge, Thomas Moritz, only missed 6 cents after he discovered that his office had been en- tered and didnot think the robbery was worthy the attention of the Post-Office Department. That a large number of letters were stolen developed yesterday when a por- ter in the Cortlandt street ferry-house of the Pennsylvania Railroad, found a package containing more than 100 let- ters in a corner of the men’s wash room.

Tradars and the public were in a wait- ing humor to-day, and after the first hour business became very dull on the Stock Exchange and prices began to de- cline as the war news from the East be- came gloomier. The improvement in the fron and steel trade, the advance in the price of light steel rails $3 a ton, the excellent showing of railway earnings for November and December, the great gain in cash by the banks indicated by the known movements of money all failed to stimulate interest in the mar- ket or to cause any advance in prices. After the early.run trading was re- stricted to specialties and the price movement became igregular. The war news was the whole con- trolling factor. The Realty issues, which opened unchanged, advanced! after the announcement of the resigna- tion of the directors who were opposed to the manner In which the company was being managed.
