latest book, ‘‘Wharf and Fleet’’ has 
had a wide circulation. 
The last winter Mr. Falt has 
spent much of his time on the lec- 
ture platform, with Boston as a cen- 
ter. Many have heard him at 
various functions and public enter- 
tainments and remember him _ be- 
cause of the fisherman’s garb of oil- 
skins and sou’wester which he wore 
while delivering his lecture and 
showing his views. 
A few weeks ago he contracted a 
severe cold and this lead to acute 
rheumatism and _ prostration. He 
was removed to his Gloucester 
home several weeks ago and the end 
came the first day of this week. He 
was buried Wednesday. Mr. Falt 
was born Aug. 18, 1861, being the 
son of the late Captain Walter M. 
and Mary Carlisle Falt. 
He is survived by three sisters 
and a brother. The youngest of 
the sisters, Miss Mary Taylor Falt 
is the society editor of the North 
Shore Breeze at Manchester and 
more recently she has taken on the 
added duties of society editor of the 
Review at Rockport. The host of 
friends of Miss Falt in this connec- 
tion extend to her their sympathy 
in her bereavement. 
Boston Theatre. 
Beeause of the sensational success 
scored by popular Julian Eltinge in 
“The Fascinating Widow,’’ every 
endeavor is being made to lengthen 
the engagement at the Boston Thea- 
tre and keep this marvelous young 
performer in our midst just as long 
as possible. But it is highly prob- 
able that his visit to Boston will be 
terminated soon and inasmuch as 
the present engagement will be ab- 
solutely his only appearance in 
New England, theatregoers are 
By the case or dozen.

urged not to miss their opportunity 
and to go to the Boston Theatre be- 
fore it is too late. To watch this 
famous young actor masquerade as 
a woman throughout the entire per- 
formance of ‘“‘The Fascinating 
Widow’”’ is well worth gomg many 
miles to see. 
Not the least important detail of 
the production is Julian Eltinge’s 
collection of Parisian gowns. Ilis 
wardrobe is estimated to be worth 
close to $15,000 and as he is con- 
stantly changing his costumes it be- 
comes necessary to visit the play 
several times to see the extent of 
his beautiful raiment. 
Mrs. N. Peck: ‘‘From the way 
you are always whining about matri- 
mony any one would think you 
thought it the worst thing in tie 
world. I bet that if I was to die 
you would marry again inside of 
two years, wouldn’t you? Well, why 
don’t you answer? You know you 
would, don’t you?”’ 
Mr. N. Peck: ‘‘Just you try it and 
see.”’ 
A merehant in Florida has adopt- 
ed a novel way of keeping the 
traveling men from ‘‘annoying”’ 
him. He has purchased a_ small 
grip, a sample case, and a silk hat. 
These he piles upon his counter, the 
hat on top, of course. Traveling 
men come in, see the grip and hat, 
and, supposing the field to be al- 
ready occupied, withdraw.
