FANNY DAvENPORT'S MARRIAGE.
Dramatic Ntcs.
. Scarcely had Miss Fanny Davenport anl Mr..
Edwin Price been made one flesh before the
Dramatic Neos was showcred upon With oil
sorts OF notes, und letters, nnd postal-cnrds
protesting that "somethtng ought to be oone
about it," Which, Of course, VAS a circnltous
way Of requesting the Dramatic Necs to turn its
double-shotted batteries on the happy bride and
groom.
The Dramatic Neos, however. respectfully de-
cInes to do ANYTHING Of the sort, aud for the
following reasons:
In the first place, Miss Davcnport's private
Affairs arc no concern whatever either Of the
Dramatic Ntms or OF it's rcadcrs,-so long as
Miss Davenport does not make them public.
Last week, when Miss Davenport had given no
sign of her intention to marry Mr. Price, VIC
protested that it was scundaous, under the
for Mr.. Price to be Miss Daveu-
ports companioD and associate on the stage,
Her marriage to him has removed that objection
absolutely.

bana's ntlaelity had killed her. And it did
look at one time rs II the fate OF Mrs. Price No.

solution.
But We ore glad to learn that the whole matter
has been nnicab1y adjusted oil ronnd. Mrs.
Price No. makes complete and thorough con-
vcyance and transfer OF Mr.. Price to Mrs. Price
No: On the following conditions:

port, tile Mrs. Price No. OF the com mDlication.

;idcration Of $4,000. |
We nre glad to learn this, because It clearly |
