interesting IN its way, Is tne one ~ pr ~ I,vd,s

pretty much ali the other lights OF the woman

RUMoRs ABOUT NIB. STEWART.
When man is q millionaire every one talks
| OF HIM. Perhaps no private citizen IN the
| couptry is the subject OF 30 many rumors as
A. T. Stewart. Every day a fresh story ls
| started. and no matter how absurd 1t may De,
thousands are ready to believe 1t. At one time
| MIR. Stewart 10 trying to soil his wholesale
| houss to the government for postomoe; at
another he is about to found an imm nse lnsti-
| tption for ever, body; then he purposes to
transfer his Fifth Avenue palace to the olty Tor
an art gallery; and next he is about to retire
| from business and devote the remainder OF
his life to all sorts Of charity. The latest re-
and donated t2O, 600 to the "House of the Good
Shepherd," Catholic institution. l have
heard this story at least twenty times In the
past few weeks, but don't believe it yet. But
It may be true, nevertheless. Many stranger,
things have happened, and many more Will
happen, I dare say, before the wor!o grows %
Gtevart tells me he was recelvedlnto the Cath
oIlo Church by Archbishop McCloskey. NO
| doubt Archbishop McCloskey would be quite
wiling to take him into his fold, and II he has
not done 30 vet, perha 10 he will some day.
You would be surprised il gave you list OF

THE THEATRICAL SITUATION
In New York is anything but cheering to the
friends of the drama. The deluge of bur
lesoue and pantomime is sweeping all before
II. Niplo's, the Waverly, the Olympic, Woods,
| the Tammany, and 8 few minor places are en-
rireIy in possession Of burlesque actresses and
pantomime actors, and IN few days Wsllaoks 9
viii 90 the same way. The season at Fisk g
Grand Opera House will close next week, and
there, too, either burIesque or pantomime
may fool behind the footGghts. There ID no
guarantee for rational entertainment during
The summer at any house except Booths 8, where
Jefferson and other stars will fill brief engage
ments. The Academy Of Music is closed for
the summer, and the two houses now running
opera bouffe are winding up. Not many Of the
| old theatre goers now snow themselves at any
place Of amusement, except now and then at
company goes to pieces this week, and there
| is rumor that Wallack himself has left us for
good. The New York stage IS certainly in q
bad way, and signs OF Improvement are not yet
visible.
