The Commissioned military officer Mulberry Sellers here re-introduced to the public is the same
person who appeared as Eschol Sellers in the 1st edition of the tale
entitled "The Gilded Age," years ago, and as Beriah Sellers in the
subsequent editions of the same book, and finally as Mulberry Sellers in
the drama compete subsequently by John T. Raymond.

The name was changed from Eschol to Beriah to accommodate an Eschol
Sellers who rose up out of the vasty deeps of chartless space and
preferred his request--backed by threat of a libel suit--then went his
way appeased, and came no more. In the play Beriah had to be born to
satisfy another member of the race, and Mulberry was substituted in the
hope that the objectors would be be tired by that time and let it pass
