II)
The nian referred to was the cas
man of the theater. Such a person
is an important factor behind the
scenes, lie has sole charge of the
apparatus and at the signal of the
iage manager lowers and raises the
'irht, nrn off and lights up the gas.
etc. All this is done oow-a-days by
merely touching different electric
buttons; but at Ford's the clumsy
system of that day was in use.
Turn-coclts were attached to the
ni pes in a chest set well back on
the stage, out of sight. The gas
man kept the key, and he alone
had access to the chest.
It is & mistake to regard Booth
as a desperado, bent on executing
his devilish scheme even at the
sacrifice of his own life The pub
lic manner of the assassination, and
his l"ap to the stage in full view of
two thousand people, was an after
thought, adopted on the pressure
of the moment, when his own care
fully matured scheme had been de
feated. Much as he wanted to kill
the President, he never wanted t
he known as the assassin, and had
his plan not miscarried, he never
would have been known in that
character, save perhaps, to a select
circle of admiring Secessionist in
Baltimore, Washington, Richmond,
Charleston and New Orleans, wha
could have been safely trusted with
the dreadful secret.
His plan was simple, and its very
simplicity eemed t insure its suc
cess. The President's party hav
ing been seated in their -ox, at a
given signal the gas was to be
turned off, leaving the whole house
in darkness.
Booth having marked the exact
position of his victim at the in
stant, and having access to the box
would promptly do the murder in
the dark. S" great would be the
confusion and uproar in
the im-
mense audience
lh.'Use, over the
tht packed the
mere fact of total
darkness, that the horrible tragedy j
just secretly and successfuly ac
comp'tished couid not be made
known fur some time so that it
would be understood. The gas
man wou: i tia-'e locked the chest
;nd quietly departed with the key
in Lis pocket, it miht be half an
hour before the house could be re
lighted. In the meantime the
commission of the crime had been
perfectly hidden by the darkness.
It would be a question in the case
f the escape rf the assassin; for
lihough Booth had taken the
precaution to have a sutdlc-lior?e
readv in the alley outside, he
icenied it a mere precaution
There would be no proof, nothing
more than suspicion airainst him
f his plo: succeeded.
The signal for the turning offof
the gas was thought to be a mas- j
ter-tioke of the plot. Kone but
man with a strong dramatic in
stinct could have chosen it.
Let the reader retail the time.
The fall of Richmond and Peters
burg, the. pursuit and surrender of
Lee had followed in quick success
or occuring but a few days be
fore. The North was in a trans
port of joy; Washington was full
of soldiers; a thousand of them
would be at Foul's Theater that
niffht. as it was known that the
President would attend. The
manager saw that something be
sides the rather tame play of
Our American Cousin" must be
presented to satisfy the patriotic
overflowing of men's hearts. So it
was made part ot the programme
that when the President's party
was seated, several male quaf tetttes
should take the stage, and sing the
national anthem, "My country.' 1 is
of Thee," the bwuse naturally jo!H
ing in. A designated line ot this
anthem was to furnish the signal
to the jTRs man. With the last
short line of the first stanza,
"Let freedom ring!"'
the whole theater was to be plunged
in darkness, and the murder would
iwiftlv fo'.'ow.
Down to a time possibly not
more than one minute preceding
i(. cjn-o'." of" th" fatal line, events
seemed to match straight on to
the cousiiiiiiii.ttiou f the tragedy
exactly at planned. 1 he overture
was done; the President, Mrs. Lin
coin, Midor Rathbone Miss Harris
had arr ved and were seated, amid
the piauuits of the bouse; the
singing of "America" from the
stage had emmenced. Booth
stood Ht the box-uoor, one hand on
the knob, the other on his pistol
the gas man behind the scenes
went to his chest. And then
It was the great Talleyrand,
beiieve. who said that -'from the
sublime to the ridiculous is but
tep."' The truth of the sayin
was never proved as it was in that
moment!
An actor of the company had for
several days been on what in these
das is known as a "racket " H
was lingering about the wings on
this evening in a boozy condition
when the manager caught sight of
him and proceeded to give him'
wigging. ' lo do so more at ease,
he plumped the delinquent down
on the gas-chest ami took a seat be
sides him. The gas man came up
and saw at once the "cue"' could
not be given. He did not dare t
maw attention h his proceedings
by requesting tiie manager to
move. To be watched was to in
ure nun tne scanold!
The anthem went on; '-Let free
dom ring" was sonorously rolled
through the house; the lights were
uudimmed; the piece was tiuished
with wild applause; the play be
gun.
And there in the lobby was
Booth, iaging with disappointment
striding uo and down, now seen
by halt a dozen different persons
nerving his hand and his brain for
the public assassination that oc
curred an hour later.

Explanation.
In another column appears under
our signature an advertisement an
nouncing the closing out of our
shoe business altogether at cost.
Why we sell at actual cost is be
cause we won't buy any more and
wish to clear out every shoe as
quick as we can. Of course the
public understand very well that if
we intended to continue the shoe
business such a course would be,to
say the least, nonsensical, and our
announcement to that effect would
be considered deceptive. Ladies
will please note this fact and gov
ern themselves accordingly.
