Ohio. -tvwas'about to leave for home noxt doy when Hoyt called. To make a long story short, he put me in his play "A Hole In tho around." Ho wns In Columbus ?ehearstng for tho opening. ' I remember'that Hoyt was taken Into tho ElltB lodge In Columbus the night before wo opened. Flora Walsh ?waa Hcyt's leading woman and ho imarrled Flora on July 25, 1887.

Kc waa undoubtedly the most prolific and most successful playwright that American has over known. Ho wrote all of his manuscripts in long baud? later having thom typewritten. Hoyt was a man difficult to ap proach. His most Intimate friends novar called him "Charlie." As a maa ho was cold and reserved. Prank Mo* Koo, his partner, even called him "Mr. Hoyt."' He was also most economical with tho pay roll. For threo years I drew $25 wcokly. Ho liked to split ?the difference in salaries, aa fdr os* ?ample: One actor"demanded $40 wcokly and got $35. another asked for $35 aud gut $32.60.

COUNTY OEL?O?TiOH ME?IUHMMtiG ORDERED IMPROVEMENTS AT SEVERAL COUNTY INSTITUTIONS AT COUNTY JAIL Padded Cell for Insane Persons and Shower Bath Equip meat to Be* Added; A meeting of the county delegation was held Tupsday morning at the of fice of Mr. G. H. Geiger and 'was at tended by most,all of the.delegation. Thro wero.threo members absent. aJid lt was necessary to transact some of th.- business before the delegation whout their vote. t Business of importance before th : delegation WJIS mostly preparation for winier in tho public buildings of tho county. They ordered that stoves bo installed in the county homo and that stove and proper heating appliances he fixed at tho county Juli. Another important piece of business transacted by the delegation was to plan for idiower baths and a deten tion ward at the county Jail. Both of these features are lacking In our Jnll. and their need is imperative. A de tention ward;-or padded cell ls very necessary. ?,Many insane norsonn.are brought to the county Jail, preparatory to taking them to the asylum at Co lumbia, nnd there is no place but a pell in which to keep tho violent ones. A padded cell is badly needed, and will be Installed in the jail in' the near future.; Shower baths for the jail were also ordered. This is unothcr feature which our jail-ls lacking, and, which is very necessary. The lmthliig apr pliances for the prisoners aro now very i nade finnie, and the showers will be a great benefit to both o li ie ia I:; at Mic jail and prisoners. Tho improvements as voted by tho delegation wero suggested by Mr. Al bert Johnstone when ho visited tho jail on u tonr.of inspection some time ugo. Sheriff. Ashley stated that it was his opinion that tho padded cell should bo ' located in an . outsido building and. ?not in the jail proper. Ho stated that he had no definite idea as to the . cost of these improvements, but was instructed with Mr..
