Miss Laura Alexander, OF Wallack'e Company,
died last week. The new York Tribune rays !:
1T is the melancholy fact that sense Of pro-
fessional failure preyed upon this young 1ady's
mind, eulbi1tered her last moments, and hasten-
ed her death. She presents, in brief, another
instance Of the brokon heart TINT sometimes
follows in the truck Of disappointed ambition.
She vas of q generous nature and IN enthusiast
tic mind, and she made tho mournfuI but COM
mon mistake OF thinking that theao arc dramatic
geniua and trained mimetic skill upon the stage;
ard she had not patience to bear the burden OF
chagrin and sorrow that came OF her thwarted
aspiration"

experiments esude-the public appetite has been

It may be thus concluded that as Madame
Nilsaou only took 90, 00I out OF the weeks re-
ceipts for the first week, the management has
made money in Chicago. That it has done so is
to Its credit. The management States that
Madame Missions sickness on Monday night WAS
equivalent to $500 paid out from the box; and
that the effect on the business for the week was
bad for another 81 500. This is another mana
gerial trouble which Chicago people can appre-
cinte.
OTHER EXPENSES.
Besides these expenses, there are the original
amounts paid for the preparation Of scenic Of
fects aud for Incidental expenses. Indeed,
it appears to be the correct thing to
demand money OF manager. When any
member Of the chorus or ballet finds himself or
herself called upon to say ANYTHING; to sketch
out an aria where no other member Of the bal
let or chorus is expected to do 80, an extra
charge il mado. How the bills read We do not
pretend to know. The charge il 81 extra. from
