NOVEMBER 7,1895. 189). ar Tnt AurwOM. * CHAPTER VII I shall try to condense into a single chapter the narrative of events in Lon don from the time of my departure ou fTl the day some months later when our scheme was exploded and all took to flight whes Noves was arrested. I left for Paris on Monday. On Wednesday Noyes went to the bank and drew out all the money to my credit ex cept £3OO. The same day he went to Birmingham and mailed lot No. 1 of home manufactured hills, representing £B,OOO. The next 24 honrs were an anxious time for my friends. The bills would he delivered by the early mail on Thursday, and if all went right the proceeds would be placed to my credit by 12 o'clock, and the bills themselves would be stowed away in the vaults until they were due some months ahead. George and Mac waited with the greatest anxiety until 8 o'clock. They had everything packed for instant flight when at that hour they gallied out of M-ac's lodging and started for the bank to make the test. They had filled out two Warren checks. Noyes went on ahead, the others fol lowing. Nodding good day to the cashier, he ■eked for £2,000 in gold and the re mainder in note®, which were handed him at once, and three very happy men sat down that evening to dinner because the 'day's operations had conclusively proved that the Bank of England meth ods were fallible. The next morning Noyes went to Jay Cooke & Co. and ordered |75,000 in United States bonds, giving a check for them. The same afternoon he went to Birmingham and mailed another letter, this one containing £15,000 in bills, and later drew £2,000 in gold from the bank. On Monday he went after the hoods, and the $75,000 was handed over to him without question. The whole operation was a repetition of these tiw: ti<», but with an e-er increasing volume in the fin.' ants of the bills. Ou some days the mail brought to the bank letters with bills for SIOO,OOO, sometimes for more, sometimes for less. So November and December passed away, and the bank continued day by day and week by week loying away in its vaults the worthless collateral of Mr. F. A. Warren in exchange for its gold. In London the boys talked of spend ing Christmas at home, but the agree ment to stay—and it prevailed—was that, since the money came in no easily and in such aimmnts, it was a pity to run away from it. Then, again, by obtaining an enormous sum and put ting it in a place of absolute security, the bank would bo glad to compromise the matter in consideration of receiving a million or two back again. Bo they spent a pretty merry and an exceedingly expenilvo Christinas in London, but. late In February they de termined to pack tip and leave. Everything entiled upon them. The gold and bonds they had meant for tunes for all. I «a» away in tropic Is lands leading an idle life with my bride aruld the oocoanut and palm trees. Mao and George hud never appealed in the transaction, and, us for Noyes, not a soul in all America knew be was in Eu rope, and in all Europe only three or four people had seen hlni and knew him as representing Warren. The businens was finished. All three, la/leri with money, wore going to leave England, leaving the bank to slumber on for weeks nntll the first bills became doe before there eonld be a discovery. By that time the cash would have beau safely stowed, and how or where or to whom oonld anything lie traced? 80 in council they had decided to be content with the euormous amount they had. The last batch of bills was in the mail. Only one day more, and the strain on the nerves would he over. That day Noyes bought bonds and drew ennh for more than fIOO,OOO. At B o'clock they sat down to lunch, their lost In London, and then went direct to Mac's apart ments in James' place. All the material for making fraudu lent bills was there, and what could be burned was thrown into the grate, and ♦he rest, Into the Thames from Loudon bridge. The throe were there, and they were happy. They had engineered a gi gautlc scheme, had struck for wealth and won. The short cut to fortune in de flauoe of fate bad been traversed, and How they set about, a grateful task—that of getting themselves and their rich argosy out of Kngland. Mao, being the artist, of the party, and having executed the actual writing, drew the sealed box conU <mng the unused bills up to the fire and began throwing them ill one by one. In doing so he occasionally would throw some bill more elaborate than the common run on the flrxir Vwide his chair. Ho h« 1 finished his tank and took from the floor those he hud thrown there, looked at them for a moment, then crumbling them together raised his hand to throw them in the fire, but :ui the devil always forsakes his friends at the eritlf.nl moment he stopped, •moothed out, the bills, and turning to the others said: "Boys, these are per feet works of art. It is a pity to destroy them." From our point of view it was, lince it was only necessary to drop them into the mail, and they would coin us thousands Then George said, "Huppose we send them in. " The others said, "All right," and our doom was Healed. There were in the lot 19 bills of ex change for £20,000. A date had l>een left off one-of them! They failed to notice it I Poor fools, we had sold ourselves! Was this an accident? No, It was Nemesis. It was anything you want to call it, but it was not au accident 80 a letter was written, the bills, with memoradum, inclosed,the envelope directed and stamped, and the three fools went to Birmingham, mailed the letters, mid then laughed over their suc oees in the fight against society, felici tating themselves that, they had 8.-ifely traversed the short cut to fortune. There la n<> short cut by wri ingdoing to fortune. As that fiital letter slipped from their Angers Into the mailbox the last act of the deadly tragedy began. When It end ed, the curtain fell upon us, descending from the dock into the chill dungeons of Newgate, never, so far aa tlie aenteuce was concerned, to emerge again. On Tuesday uioruing the letter witb the bills arrived at the bank Follow ing the routine, they went to the dis count department, were discounted and placxl to my credit. As I had a balance of £30,000. wheu the proceed* of the bills were added to It it brought up the whole to the handsome sum of £40,000. When the bills arrived at the bank, a ttrujig" thing occurred. The fatal omis ■ion wu made on an acceptance of Bly densteln A: Co., a great banking firm in London The discount clerk noticed th<> omission of the date of acceptance, but this being a mere formality he thought it a clerical error on the part of the bookkeeper of Blydensteln & Co. lie giade po report yf tU<j mutter, fr"d it was discounted along with the other 18 which were put away in the vaults with the batches that had preceded it and laid it aside until the next day, which was Wednesday. At half past 10 he gave it to the bank messenger, telling him when he went his r- jniar rounds to take the bill to Blydenstein's and request them to correct the omission. At 2 p. m. on Tuesday Noyes went to Jay Cooke & Co., ordered SIOO,OOO in United States bonds and gave thom & check on the Bank of England for the amount. He was to call for the bonds next day, of course, after the check had gone through the clearing house and had been paitf As soon as the bank opened on Wednesday, in order to test if every thing was all right, Noyes sent in a messenger with a small check, and the money was thrown out as at all other times without remark And that was a complete demonstration that everything was all right. So it was then, bot with in 80 minutes from that second the mes senger was going to start with the bill to Blydenstein's for correction. This was 10 o'clock Wednesday. The bills had been 25 hours 1n the possession of the bank, had been discounted and the proceeds placed to my credit for 24 hours. Who with intellect less than an arch angel's could have dreamed the true combination? First of all, that men bril liant and clever, gambling with their Uvas, could have made such an omis sion, damning, fatal; second, if made, that the groat Bank of England, thought absolutely infallible by the whole world, conservative, supposedly cautions, would have discounted a bill for £2,000 with the date out of the acceptance, and hav ing done so hold the bill well on into the second day without a discovery, and that, too, when the firm whose acceptance was a forgery was not 100 yards away ! Bo when at 10 o'clock on Wednesday Mao saw the small check paid without ques tion to the messenger it seemed he had iui assuraiico doubly snre and a bond of fate that all was well, and that the last botch of bills was packed safely away for another three months in the vaults of the bank. So Noyes went at once to Jay Cooke A Co., and as the check had been paid at tbr> bank they handed over SIOO,OOO in bonds to him. Mac and George were outside. Georgo took the bonds and gavo Noyes a £lO,- 000 chock, and one minute from his leav ing Jay Cooke & Co. Noyes was at the oounter of the bank. The cashier count ed out the cash to him. He walked out of the bank with a lighter heart and more buoyant step than ever before, for was not the danger all over and the long strain on the nerves at an end, the transaction complete and fortune won? Ho had never to go to the bank again. They had arranged to meet at Garra way's coffee house in Exchango alley. This is the Garraway's that became so famous at the time of the South neu bub ble, aud its fame continued down to the end of the wars of Nipoleou. Then its glory departed as a center of specula tions, but its renown as an old fashioned chophouse remained till 1873. Every where in contemporary English litera ture from Swift and Addison to Gold smith and Johnson one meet* referenoe to Garraway's.

Dickens also make* it the scone of the writing of the famous chops and tomato sauce letter from Mr. Pickwick to Mrs. Bard <ll Ono can imagine the elation of my friends as they riat around that little ta ble at Garraway's. It was only 10:36. Their income that morning had been 1160,000. And many more such days had gone before. All danger was over; wealth was won. They saw themselves back in America, among the Four Hun dred, possessors of a fortune, however wrongfully obtained, yet obtained in a way that would leave behind no ruined widows and orphans to linger out the remainder of their blighted lives in poverty and misery. That wan a point which added zest to their enjoyment of the prospect. "I am never to go to the bank again. Come, shake hands on that," said Noyes. And in their excitement and wild de llfjht they shook hands again and again. But, tl*;y would have m<xlorated their joy hed they known that at tho very moment the bank porter, pole and frightened, was rushing past tho room where they sat carrying the news to the bank that tho £2,000 hill was a forgery Instantly all was confusion and excite moot In the bank Telegrams were at once sent to the detective police, and at that moment swarms of them w« re pour ing out of the Bow street and Scotland Yard offices. Already were rumors of gigantic frauds multiplied a thousandfold by rumor, and rumor had it every bank in London was victimized. In ten minutes the story reached the Stock Exchange, and a scene of terrific excitement en sued. and through it all our three inno cents sat on in that diugy old coffee house serenely onoonscions of the fear ful storm that was rising Still they were safe. Everything was confusion In the bank The terrified official, frantic with fear, could ouly describe a tall young man, un American, who said his name was Warren. Upon Mao casually remarking that they had still a balance of $76,000 to Warren's credit Noyes spoke up and said: "Boys, that is too much money to •leave John Bull. Supjxise you make out u check for £f>,ooo. I will run over and get the cash, and it will do f<»- pocket inoney." And the two others, trium Th*V rvuhetl tit film Hhr n )><irk iif u ohn pliant In success, became Idiots and as- getsted. Making out a check for £5,000, Noyes started for the bank, check in hand, on the run and instantly found himself with a hot and angry swarm of hornets after him. There were 25 de tectives in and artmnd the bank. Special messengers had summoned the affright ed directors. The great bank parlor was packed with a host of stockholders and directors, who were questioning the manager and clerks. And excitement rose to fever heat when, with 20 hands holding him, poor Noyes was hustled in among them. They rushed at him like a pack of wolves. Had that been a bank parlor in festive Arizona they would not have en dured the delay incidental to procuring a rope, but would have ended it and him by gunnery at short range. Noyes could not be shaken. His nerve never failed. He said a gentleman had hired him as a clerk, and that was all he knew. He had left him at the Stock Ex change. If they would lot him go, he would try to find lilm and bring him around to the bank. J. Bull is gullible, bat not so much so as to swallow that yarn. So they held tightly to him, and a committee of indignant Britons escorted him to Newgate. Mac and George were without and were stricken with consternation, for a minute's observation of the gathering crowd and the rushing into»he bank of excited people convinced them some thing unusual was in the wind, and they knew Noyes must be in deadly peril. Mac rushed into the bank in hope to warn or to be of help. Everything there was in confusion. Unobserved in the excitement, he made his way into the parlor and there saw what made his heart stand stsll—Noyes surrounded by an angry crowd of officials. With great presence of mind he pushed through toward Noyes, who saw him and knew he was there to help if he had a chance to bolt from his captors, but there was no chance. As they were about starting for Newgate Mac slipped outside and told George what had be fallen Noyes and discussed tho pos sibility of a rescue when on the way to Newgate with Mm. While they were waiting in the entrance Noyes camo out in custody. He saw and recognized them. They joined in the crowd and were withiu arm's reach of him every rod of the short distance to Newgate, but the crowd was packed so tight that ono could hardly move, and a rush for escape was hopeless. Arrived at New gate, Mac, in liis desperation, was en tering with the escort when George pulled him away, aud as they got out of the crowd they hoard tho newsboys (Ty ing, "Great forgery ou the Bank of England by an American—£lo,ooo,ooo obtained!" All this time tho SIOO,OOO drawn that morning was in a stont bag behind the counter at Garraway's. Little did the barmaids dream of the treasure that was in the bag. When Mac went for it. one of the barmaids asked him if he had heard of tho great bank robbery. He drove to St. James' place, and soon George joined him there. That niglit the cable flashed the news of the forgery over tho world, dwelling particularly upon the fact that the per petrator was an American. The next morning tho London press overflowed. Every promineut pajier gave a leader in the editorial columu, aud when the weeklies and monthlies name out they followed suit. These editorials mako now to us who were on tho inside amus ing reading. They were full of Philis tine talk and amazement, and generally conceded that Noyes was an innocent dupe, and all more or less doubted if his principal, the manager, and mysterious Mr. F. A. Warreu would overcome hack to say so. Lay after day went by, and Mac and Georgo hung around London reading the accounts of tho affair and of the ex amination of Noyes before the lord mayor. They had communicated with him through his solicitor, and lio sent them word to leave England at onoe. In the meantime they had been sending away tho cash, and so intrenched were they in tho belief that by no i<ossible chance could their names become mixed up in the affair that in every Instance hut two they sent the money or bonds to Amer ica in their right names. In the meantime the bank very wisely sent a cable to their legal agent, Clar enoe A. Seward, In New York, asking him to set the American detective force oil the alert. He was a man of the world and understood quite well what sort of men then ruled at police headquarters. So he sent at once for Kotx-rt Piukerton and gave him entire charge of the American side of the line. Eventually they unearthed the whole plot, se>-nr»*l the evidence that convicted us aud re covered the greater part of tho money. The first step taken by tho private in quiry men was to have tho detectives at headquarters led to believe that they had the case entirely in their own hands, and to strengthen this Piukerton had a lawyer go to headquarters every day to consult with Irving After tho continental raid, oil our re turn to London, wo sent Irving SII,OOO in greenbacks in a registered letter, but in order to have a hold on our three honest friends at headquarters In case of any possible treachery In tho future we put the money in tho envelope In the pre«- en«) of a magistrate and had his clerk register them and make it a part of tho oourt record. The envelojs* was simply addressed, "James Irving, Esq., 1100 Mulberry street. Now York," and of course tho officials In London supposed it a private address. When wo returned from Rio, we sent another $3,000, SI,OOO each for Irving, Stanley and White, and took the same precautions. Soon after the floods of money coming to us in Lhi don Mac sent $15,000 to Irving in another registered letter with out any precautions whatever. Irving <V Co. did not know what game we were playing, hut were very happy over the dividends past and to come. But when they read the cable disjiatchos in the press about the bank forgeries their bliss was ecstatic. Each infancy saw himself decked out in a magnificent diamond pin and ring spinning along Harlem lane behind a particularly fast pair in a stylish rig This was their day vision. At night each saw himself In certain re sorts ordering unlimited bottles or see ing Now York by gaslight at the rate of J 100 a minute and the Britishers paying nr It all. But the lawyers and the Pink ertons between them played Irving and headquarters for fools and knaves. iMy after day one of the lawyers visited Mul berry street, aud being tutored by Pink erton gave points to Irving, who, with his two chums, never suspocted the game being played on them. But as I have got somewhat ahead of events iu London I will return there mid very lirlofly narrate what was tak ing place there. Nearly every day Noyes was brought before the lord maynr and officially examined; but, acting under advice of his lawyer, he was strictly noncommittal. The detectives and offl rials were convinced he knew all about it. In searching Noyes tho English polico had fouud his garments were made by a certain London tailor who had several establishments They brought the fore men and salesmen down to see him, and none could identify him, but the detect Ives went over the ground again aud discovered that they had no Used one branch store. This was the one Noyes had patrouized They remembered him as » customer who hud, whyj oiforuig garments, given tne name of Bedford. This in itself was a bad point against Noyes, and they wanted very much to make him talk, and had they been per mitted to adopt vigorous American methods they might have succeeded. A salesman remembered seeing Noyes, or Bedford, one day walking in Mayfair with a gentleman who really was Mac, of whom he gave a good description, and, taking the clerk, the detective started out to make a house to house in vestigation. Now, 1 Mayfair. the first house they entered, was the residence c.; .. :* -"one London doctor of the name of Pay ai.. •*, and Mac had been a patient of his. _ TT wott know ab solutely nothing al ... •" only his name and the address he s.- •- — Westminster Palace hotel The detect ives were elated and flew to this hotel, but as Mac had nev.tr been a guest they could learn nothing. Still they had cause for rejoicing. Here was Noyes giving a fictitious mane to a tailor and in company with on elegantly dressed American, who gave a fictitious address to his surgeon. And they were well sat isfied that whenever the matter was dug out it would be found that Mac had a hand in the business. Payson Hewett stated that Mac said ho was a medical graduate from an American university and said that no doubt he spoke the truth, as he had a perfect knowledge of medical subjects. Mac, before sending his baggsge away, had intended to sail from Liverpool by the Java of the Chinard line, and he cabled Irving at police headquarters to meet him on the arrival of the steamer. Man went to Paris, stopping at the Ho tel Richmond, Rue du Holder, under his right name, never for a moment thinking he could possibly come under suspicion. Lu the meantime the Scotland Yard men continued their house to bouse visi tation of the fashionable lodging houses to hunt out Mac. This in huge London was a Titanio task, hut they exhibited H marvelous activity in tracing our clews. In a lucky moment a subordinate, in quiring at every number in St. Jaines' place if an American gentleman was lodging or had lodged there, was in formed by one landlady that Mac had been a lodger, but had left a few days before. As soon as this important report arrived they flew to St. James' place and found the landlady a warm friend of the man they were looking for. The detectives were forced to tell her their business. She was indignant that any one (should so wrong Mac and ordered them oat of the house. The rooms had been unoccupied since MHO left, i-nd a careful search was mado for clews, but nothing was found until she was asked for the waste paper basket. The basket proved to be a bag, and when turned out somo pieces of blottiug paper appeared, which, held in front of a mirror, of course would re flect the writing the same as on the written sheet, and on holding the last of tiie lot to the glass they were thrilled through and through when they saw re flected there: Ten Thousand Pounds Starling F. A. WARKKN. This, when compared with a canceled check of mine, then in the possession of the bank, exactly litted it. Here was a piece of ovidenco which if it could be brought home to Mac was a chain to bind him fast and sure. The detectives started at once for Paris, and going to the American bank ers, where most Americans register on arrival, they found Mac's name as large as life registered at Andrews & (Jo. as stopping at the Hotel do Richmond. They were not long in reaching Rue du Helder and learned that Mac had left for Brest tho night before. In short order one was at tho Paris agency of tho steamship company anil found that Mac had purchased a ticket to New York by the Thuringia, which was due to ssil that very hour from Prest. He did not let tho grass grow under his feet be tween the ticket and telegraph offices, and there he telegraphed the authorities to arrest Mac, but he had a speedy reply that the Thuringia had sailed half an hour before his telegram came. They therefore cabled to Now York particulars as to Mac's departure, and then th«y turned all their attention to me. Mac had cabled Irving that he was ooming by the Thuringia. The English detectives, feoling that there was no secrecy required about their man being on the steamer, gave tho fact to the press, and Irving discovered, very much to his chagrin, that all the world shared with him his secret as to Mac's where abouts. and that if no would save his reputation ho would have to bo on hand not as a friend and confederate, but in his official capacity, and make a genu ino arrest —that is, unless he could ar range to have Mac. taken off the steamer in a small boat as soon as she camo into tho lower bay and before the police boat, with its load of officials, came alongside. This Irving and his two subordinates reMolvod to attempt, so ho took into hiH counsels u great chum of his and a well known burglar of the namo of Johnny Dobbs To him was given tho job of got ting Mac off the steamer, but ho mado a serious blander. Instead of hiring and manning two boats, one to relievo tho other, he got only one. For a day or two they camo within hailing distance of all incoming steamers, but were ashore on Statcn Island taking a rest when bright and early one morning the Thoringin slipped into tho harbor. There was a man in tho bout with Dobbs who knew Mini, and tho plan was to meet the steamer, and as Mac was sure to be on deck on the lookout to shout to him to jump overboard, and they would pick him npand make for shore. Once ashore and warned, they would not hnvo seen him again. After the Thuringia cam« into tho harbor Irving kept the police boat wait ing over an hour. Then, supposing his friend was safe ashore, he boarded the ship. There were live United States marshals on the police tug, the bank lawyers and some of tho private inquiry officials. Irving, accompanied by White and Rtanley, jumped aboard tho big ship, after giving orders to the captain of tho tug not to let any one off until lie gave permission. Mao saw tho tug and recog nized his three friends, but was in 110 way alarmed until Irving,shaking hands with him, hurriedly explained the state of affairs. Mao took them to his cabin and gave them #l'io,ooo in bonds, #10,• 000 in greenbacks, besides Kuglish hunk notes and two or three valuublo dia monds. Then taking out several bags of sovereigns ho said: "Now, boys, help yourselves. Load yourselves down and keep them from the enemy." What a piirturo thi>*e fellows loading up with that golden store of sovereigns would liavo made! They knew the marshals and detectives tliey had cut rapped aboard tho tug would be furious and were morally sure that Irving 8c Co. hud plnckod their bird. Therefore any up poartweo of jsickets bulging out might load to disgrace; so, while they hated to leave any, for their fiugers Itched for all, yet they wore forced to that cruel self denial. In the meantime a storm was raging among tho rival officers, who did not relish Isjiiig duped, and finally by throats forced the captain to bring tho tug alongside tho steamer. Then they rush ed on hoard to find Irving & Co. with their prisoner awaiting them Tho marshals went to the cubin and fonnd somo £>l,ooo or 4.'5,000 in sover eigns, but when Mao was searched noth ing was found on him but t'-'O in green backs. Ho was turned over to the United States officials and landed in Ludlow Btreet jail, ponding an examination be fore the United States commissioner with a view to his extradition. How the $'254,000 was found wrapped in old clothing in Mae's trunk at the European express office, 44 Broadway, would take too uiuoh time to tell here, add bow circulars were sent out to the banks and trust companies warning them to hold all funds deposited by any of our party, ami how Pinkerton and his men recovered large sums in various places, must all be passed over here Suffice it to say that the fatal .piece of blotting paper was produced in New York along with many lesser points of evidence, and after a hard legal J.ght Mac was finally ordered to be given up to the English government to stand his trial for complicity in the great tank forgery. The legal proceedings before the com missioner las-ted three full months. The array of counsel on both sides made it a forensic contest between giants, in which all past history was invoked for prece dents. This extradition case attracted wide attention. For the present I leave Mac on the Atlantic, sailing swiftly eastward to meet bis terrible doom. [TO BE CONTINUED.] GREAT MEN'S READING. Jean Panl Richter had only five or six books, all philosophical. Mario, the great tenor, read anything he oould obtain relating to spotts or bunting. Goethe once said that his literary life was determined by a volume of folklore tales he read when a child. Julius Caesar was a close student of Homer and said that all military sci ence was comprised in its pages. Lord Bacon was a diligent student of Aristotle. He said that Aristotle had tbo mightiest intellect the world ever knew. Balzac was passionately fond of fairy tales, and the wilder and more extrava gant they were the better he liked them. Henry VHI of England was fond of the controversial works that were com mon in his day and wrote a book against Luther. Napoleon HI was a student of mili tary history, and particularly of the his tory of the Roman state about the time of Caesar. Jenny Lind wa; fond of history, but preferred it when diluted with fiction. She said that a historical romance suittd her ideas exactly. Garrick's reading related almost en tirely to his profession. Ho once .• id "Tho human face is my favorite bo- L, and the street is my school." Berlioz read everything he could find that had any bearing on the theory of music. He was a born theorist, but had so little of the practical iu his compoei tion that he could play no instrument nave the guitar, and that very badly. Milton's reading consisted largely of Homer, Virgil aud the Bible. His style is formed from the last and a large part of his imagery is drawn from the other two Long passages in the "Paradi.n Lost" are simply translations from Homer or Virgil.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. STAGE GLINTS. There will be four actors on tho rond this season presenting "The Merchant ol Venice." A farce comedy is announced for early production. Its title is classical, "A Tough Nut." Courtney Thorpe and Ida Jeffreys- Goodfriend have closed their tour iu "Tho Story of a Sin. " Modjeska's manager declares that his star's approaching farewell tour is not a Patti farewell. At its close she will retire. Charles Rohlfs will lie the first Eng lish speaking actor to produce Moliuv'n quaint comedy, "A Physician In Spite of Himself." Lillian Walrath may have trouble in producing "Honor," as Augustiu Uul} claims to have Ixmght tho American rights to the play. Emma Calve will be seen in this country during tho season in "La Nava raisse," for the libretto of which her fiance is responsible. Yvetto Uuilbert, tho Frenchwoman who is to get <1!1,000 a week or less dur ing her American engagement, will, it is said, soon be married. John B. Doris has engaged W. H. Lytell as principal comedian and stage manager of his stock company at the Fourteenth Street theater, New York. H. J. Leslie has abandoned his idea of taking out a company to present Col lier's operas "Dorothy" and "Doris" and basso notified the jieoplelie had en gaged. Stuart Robsou's new play, "Govern ment Acceptance," does not amount to much. Neither does "That Imprudent Young Couple," in which John Die is auueariug in New York THE FASHION PLATE.
