The theatrical profession is kept very

solemn adjursions not to breathe a word
Of Il TO anybody else, a deplorable diff
Guilty which has occurred between two
most excellent people-Mr. Tracy Titus
and his wife, known to the public by her
stage name, Mrs. James A. Oates. How
ever much the ~Whisperers may tell Of the
matter, it is certain they know very
little. Titus is grieved and crestfallen,
and Mrs. Oates is minatory ald def
ant. They we're playing in California,
| some three weeks ago, with a large COM
pany, whent the difficulty occurred. They
have lived so h%aFmoniously together that
the separation, when it became known,
was regarded as a mere temporary affair
"a sort Of amantium ire-to be speed
lily followed by a renewing of mutual en-
dearments. But the matter was more
serious. Mrs. Oates left her husband,
and their joint capital, which had always
been banked in his name, was drawn by
her and deposited in hers, and Tracy
Titus was left to shift for himself. The
company, knowing upon which side oil
their bread the butter was wont to be
spread, obeyed orders, and are still play
ing with Mrs. Oates. Titus is said tC
have set to work to reorganize a com
pany Of his OVID, but so far without sue
cess. What caused the quarrel is no
known, but it must have been something
very alarming, for their attachment fol
one another was of q most serious sDC
exemplary character, quite unusual il
