Show A French WitaeM, 3STOT7I02D A serious linguistic question lately tame up in a New York court, serious because upon its solution depended the liberty of a n Ameri can citizen. The language a trial in court ' was the l! rench, and th matter, was just this: John Fleming, a rollicking JPennsylvaman, was on a spree in .New York.. He was happily drunk, and while in a bar room, it appeared to Louis Benton that a man named Michael Gallagher put his hand in the festive Fleming's (g 18 7 4. free-bor- .

On the first flight of Christmas weekr when, at Wallace's Theatre the comedy ef "A Man of Honor" wal? foY 'first time Represented, the character of "Catherine" in that piece wa lotted by Miss Laura Alexander. She continued to act the part "for one week, when a sudden anJ aerious illness caused her retirement from the stage. On the day before yesterday she died. It is the melancholy fact that a sense of professional .failure... preyed, upon this ' young lady's mind, embittered her last moments, and hastened her death She presents, in brief, another instance" of the broken heart that sometimes follows in the track of disappointed ambition.: Sha was o? a generous nature and an enthusiastic mind,' and she made the mournful but common mistake of thinking that these are dramatic genius and trained mimetic skill upon the stage; and she had not patience to bear the harden of chagrin and sorrow that cinee of her thwarted aspiration. Her illness wnt more of the mind than of the body. It ;was brief and she rests. The experience is one that ought to have its weight with the many crude and wayward aspirants who besiege the gates of the drama. Miss Alexander was a , native of Charlotte; North Carolina, and was nly 24 years of age. Her career in public began four years ago, at Ford's . Theatre, inT Baltimore,, and she subsequently made a professional tour of the Southern citses, under Mr. FordV- - management, winning a great deal of that popular applause which it is easy and in youth Batu-rto. mistake for. solid, reputation. At a later time she was a member of the" travelling company of Madame Jananschek, and her best professional experience appears to have been exceof gained in the society that Miss "More actress.' recently llent Alexander was a" member of the Boston Theatre.. company, at the Her considerable. were talents Her would She mind was well" cultivated. have adorned domestic- life in polished society.

Now Louis Benton could not speak word of English, his inherited preference being for French. Explanations were all lost upon him at the time. , He had Gallagher and White arrested and put in the station house and he appeared against them at the trial. ,1 he charge was simply pick-tin- g a pckct, and Gallagher and White and Fleming had all been so successfully drunk, that the next day none of them had any recollection of what had happened er how they got into court. Benton was therefore a 'most important ; witness.- He told his story m French, which was translated by the court interpreter. He was therr asked more particularly what White did? ' He replied "tf ctait entoure." The interpreter translated this: "he encircled the complainant," leaving tne inference that White had held Fleming while Gallagher had performed the trick. This looked bad fot White. But the transaction was not aU satisfactory.; In order that full Justice should be done, Prof. Rosenthal was called in as a sort of consulting linguist. He explained that by the word "entoure" the French, witness simply meant'around' or present;- - This construction looked better for White. He might escape th states prison, after alL Then it came out that theve was no ground whatever for the arrest of VVhite. He was an innocent drunken man standing around in a bar room, while was in progress. the Then it came out in evidence that Fleming's pocket was not picked at all. There was nothing in that particular, pocket te pick, and the intelligent jury brought in a verdict of not guilty.. The French language, however, came very near, convicting an honest daunken American citizen uf a vile felony.
