CHARLIE COGILL DEAD
Sad News From 'Frisco.
Playgoers throughout Australia will learn with deep regret of the death of Mr. Charles Cogill, who for so many years enjoyed the reputation of a comedian seldom equalled in his own particular lines.
The sad news was brought to Sydney by Mrs. Cogill, his wife, who was a passenger to Sydney by the American mail steamer Ventura, which arrived on Friday afternoon.
The mail brought a letter from Mr. Harry Cogill to Mr. Leete, of the Tivoli, announcing the fact of the death.
Charles Cogill had been ill for about a year prior to his death, and it was supposed that he was suffering from diabetes, but Mr. Harry Cogill, in his letter to Mr. Leete, states that another doctor was called in a few days before the end, and he pronounced the complaint to be consumption. Although the illness of the popular comedian was a painful one, he bore it with the greatest fortitude, the letter states, and passed peacefully away at his mother's residence in San Francisco on Monday, March 16.
At the time of his decease he is said to have been greatly reduced. He was accorded an impressive funeral by his fellow Masons in San Francisco.
It is thought that after his long sojourn in the warm clime of Australia the extreme cold of a winter in New York proved fatal. It was in the great American centre that he was first taken ill.
Charlie Cogill, as he was known to his friends, was born in New York 54 years ago, and first came to Australia with his brother Harry with Emerson's minstrel company about 17 years ago. He immediately established his reputation as a light comedian, and one of the best of "corner men." He was in partnership with Harry for several years, the headquarters of the two brothers being St. George's Hall, in Bourke-street, Melbourne. Later on he was under engagement to Mr. Harry Rickards for about four years, and was always a prime favourite. He left for the United States about three years ago, and appeared in various cities.

CHARLIE COGILL DEAD.
Mr. Harry Cogill writes to the "Sunday Times" from San Francisco by yesterday's mail:
"I regret very much to inform you that my brother, Chas. W. Cogill, died in San Francisco on Monday, March 16, from consumption, with which he had been suffering for the past year. Although he had been under the doctor's care, we were all under the impression that it was diabetes, and it was only when another doctor was called that it was pronounced to be consumption. He wasted away to a perfect shadow, and you know what a big, robust fellow he was out in Australia. He was born in New York, and was 53 years and ten months old. He was buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery, in San Francisco, by the Masons, as he was a member of that order. There was a very large funeral, and some very handsome floral offerings. Charley left a widow and a daughter by a former marriage to mourn their loss."

Metropolitan Theater. — The Cogill Profilers' Specialty Company opened to a large audience last night. It is one of the most original variety companies. Charles Cogill is a mimic of pure water, and as ready and witty as the most ardent lover of a good laugh can desire. Harry Cogill is a polished comedy character actor and a fine ballad singer. Shillito, the musical clown, is an original genius, full of mirth and music. George and Sadie Fairfield are good character rapid-change artists 'and clog dancers, and Harry Orndorf is a clever Irish impersonator. In one act the Coghills present two characters in which the broadest contrast is made and the underlying wit of which is in the burlesque of one upon the other. The audience was kept in merry humor from the opening to the close, and the encores were so frequent as to become almost tiresome. The musical part of the entertainment is conducted wholly to piano accompaniment by James Hayes, who is a superior accompanist. This afternoon a matinee, to-night a change of programme, to-morrow night a specialty performance. The prices have scaled down to range from 75 cents to 25 cents— figures that would prove profitable for all troupes
