1000 francs sent by her husband and will
sail for Havre in tho steamer France next
Wednesday, accompanied by NJ. JOurdOn,

members of the company are nearly in de-
spair. They have no money and have very
slight hopes of getting and. Their salaries
unpaid amount to about a, 500, exclusive
of what is due to the leading members of
the company.
