NEW YORK, March 21. Lawrence Barrett, the actor, died at 10:45 o'clock Friday night heart failure at his apartments in the Windsor hotel. A' the time of his death there were present Mrs. Barrett, Dr. P.

F. Chambers, the professional nurse a Mr. Barrett's man' ager. It was a quick the celebrated from the histrionic boards to the tomb of death; yet so far as the physician was concerned Mr. Barrett's death was not without foreshadowing'.

Wednesday evening Dr. P. H. -Chambers was summoned to Mr. Barrett's room.

The latter complained to the physician of a cold, and wondered whether it would preclude the possibility of his performing that nig-ht. He insisted upon going to the theater, but as he was taken with a chill he was forced to return home. At 11 night Dr. Chambers was again summoned and found Mr. Barrett with a high fever and a rapid pulse.

A thorough examination revealed no pneumonia, which the physician was fearful would prove fatal should it set in. It was Thursday that the first indication of pneumonia manifested itself, and Dr. Chambers, fearing the worst, telegraphed for Mrs. Barrett, who was in Boston. Mrs.

Barrett arrived at her husband's bedside Thursday evening. Mr. Barrett's family physician, Dr. Oliver, of Boston, was likewise telegraphed for and arrived Friday morning. The two physicians made a careful examination, and found that pneumonia had developed in the right lung.

The patient's temperature Friday morning was pulse 120, respiration fluctuating between 3-1 and 30. Another consultation was held in the afternoon, there being no change. An appointment was then made between the physicians to meet again, for consultation at 10 o'clock at night. Between the hours of 5 and 10 o'clock Mr. Barrett's temperature had risen to 103, while his pulse had grown perceptibly weaker.

At 10 o'clock Drs. Chambers and Oliver went to Mr. Barrett's room. At this time Mr. Barrett was in a comatose condition, from which, however, he was roused and appeared to be entirely conscious of his surroundings.

Soon there was an evident failing, and at 10:45 the actor breathed his last. The performance at the Broadway theater had terminated before the news of Mr. Barrett's death was received by members of the company. Mr. Booth had gone to his rooms at the Players club and retired for the night.

But he was aroused and went immediately to the Windsor hotel and consoled Mrs. Ba-r rett. He remained for several hours. It is believed that the whole engagement will be canceled and that Mr. Booth will not be seen on the stage again this season.

The funeral of Lawrence Barrett will take place on Monday at 10 o'clock from the Windsor hotel, the remains leaving on the 12 o'clock train for Co hasset Beach near Boston, where they will be interred in the little cemetery at that place where Mr. Barrett's parents are Rev. Father Thomas E. Sherman will probably officiate at the funeral. As yet it has not been determined who are to be the pallbearers, Mrs.

Barrett desiring to have 'as little display as possible. At a meeting of the Players club to-day, it was arranged to close the Broadway theater until next Tuesday. Among- those who called at the Windsor hotel during the morning were Edwin Booth, John W. Mackey and Father Sherman. Letters and telegrams sympathy were received from a number of prominent persons.

Since the beginning of the New York engagement Mr. Barrett has been seen in fourteen plays, sometimes alone, sometimes with Mr. Booth. In the course of his long professional life as a star alone on the professional stage Mr. Barrett had amassed n.

No actor of the American stage stood higher in the esteem of the American public than did Lawrence Barrett at the time of his death, and his loss will be an almost Irreparable one to the American stage.
