Mr. Carew then left stating that if council turned him down, it would not he a square deal. It is quite likely that a Special meeting of council will be called to reconsider the question. The following gentlemen were ap- pointed to fill the places made vaâ€" cant by the resignation of a promi- nent member. Mr. D. J. Scully, on the Board of Health, Mr. J.

To the present generation Colin Burgess is at best a memory. but the time was when he was at the head of his profession. Vaudeville perform- ers now owe him a debt of gratitude as the pioneer in demanding and re- ceiving a fancy salary. This salary was 8300 a week. Not much. as sal- aries so to-day. but it was consider- able and a little more thirty-five years “Cool" had a blufl and forceful way about him that was not particularly attractive on first acquaintance. but he were well. and many stars of the present day have occasion to remem- ber his kind wards and encouraging assistance. Inc»- It was he who first put burnt cork on the races of McIntyre 8: Heath. who are now playing in “The Ham Tree" at the New York Theatre, and he was the discoverer of George Primrose. His. career on the stage as a blackmce comedian has never been eclipsed.~ comedian has never been eclipsed.~ Engaged by Stetson. Burgess made such a. hit that John B. Stetson gave him an indefinite con- tract aha salary or $300 a week, whe- ther he worked or not. He was the first mlnstrel to receive that amount of salary. -- Au-..â€" He was the first to use the elong- ated shoes to dance in. and the first to introduce the monologue. His make up was particularly comic. His song, “Nicodemus Johnson.” as Well as “Shoo Fly." is still remember- ed. It made him famous throughout Europe. where he sang it in all the principal cities to very large audiences. There was something about his laugh that carried the audience with it. Full of richness, and'penetrating. it proved a. most valuable asset. He was a clever dancer in addition to his other talents as a minstrel. and Salary In Advance. Burgess invariably demanded his salary in advance. An incident occur- red in Philadelphia. when he first went there. He drove to the theatre in a cab alone. At the time he was the Ll‘cl ‘3. “v -n v w cab alone. At the time he was the feature of the show. but the manager had the reputation of not paying sai- aries. The cab was driven to the kerb and in it the minstrel waited. It was the first night in the Quaker City. and the house was packed. The cab wait- ed for some time when finally some one told the manager that a cab with a tall gentleman with side whiskers in it was standing in the street. The manager came out in rather a blustery way and remarked. “Who are you and what do you want?" . “I am ‘Cool’ Burgess." The oilicious personage opened the door or the cab and with a profound bow asked the minstrel to alight. . “But there is a man to be paid." laid Burgess. “and I have no money." “I haven’t either just now." was the reply. “Then the door of this cab stays shut." was the firm rejoinder. The manager paid the salary before the show began. “Who Will Ever Forget ‘Shoo Fly'?’ George L.
