CHICAGO, January 21.-The Maple
son opera season has proved very sat
i,fsoiory to the management, and very
unsatisfactory to the public. Exor-
bitant prices were charged for season
tickets, which were sold o week b., fore
the season opened. The management
cunninply withheld the evenings on
which Patti was TO ning, the operas to
be performed were announced In an

kuown to purchasers even on what
particular evening any opera would
be performed, al the subscription en-
braced ak nights, and peop,o had q
general Impression that Paul would

They Iushed in and gener.
only emp,ied their p9, kets into
Mspieaon's treasury. When the sale
had been closed Me- Mspleson an.
~pornced that Patti wonld sing but
once. The operas all during the week
have been produced in q shipshod
way, with battered scenery and half
trained chornsses. Singsrs were an

We're billed as singing here, and alto
getber Mapleson has dealt very I'M
fairly with Chicago and in return hes
been roundly denounced by the press.
To oonciliate the latter he has n
nouuced that he will send some of his

The crowd in front of Shoninger's music store last evening attracted much notice and quiet with gibes and jests the party stood to their task waiting for the opening for the sale of tickets for Langtry, which begins at this morning. Some had "staked their claims,'' as it were, hours before. The sale promises to- be very spirited. The report that some of those in line were to secure 50 tickets is an error, as the limit is ten. Lang try appeared in Montreal Friday and Satur- day and appears tomorrow night in Spring field. It is positively announced that she does not show in Hartford. Langtry arrives here Wednesday on the train arriving from the north at 1:37 The special palace car she travels in is one of the best of its class, with kitchen and dining accommodations. She has been having fine houses, and the enterprising Abbey, it is expected, will pocket $50, 900 from his Langtry venture. She concludes her American tour May 5. Mir. Ben Stern, the able advance agent for Mir. Abbey, is in town and personally conducts the sale this morning.

The man was posi- lively identified by 8 young lady who met him on the road the day of the murder Her description was so explicit that he was recog- nized as a fellow who had lived in a house on lonely road in Pat erson. It was known that he had bought butter and eggs of the old lady
 Sheriff Crofut effected the capture acting on description sent to him. He found the man working as private hostler in DRnbnry. The young lady was brought in and imme- diately recognized the man. The mans hat was then off and it was placed on his head
 The young lady thought it was not the hat he had on when she saw him. Impulsively and apparently without thought the prisoner spoke out, t'I should say not Eve traded hats since then" The prisoner claims to have been in North Salem from the Saturday preceding the murder until last Saturday

Death of Henry mcNeII.

Henry McNeil, youngest son of Dr. Rollin McNeil, died yesterday afternoon at three o'clock. The deceased was 8 very engaging and beautiful child of great promise, and a large circle of friends will deeply sympat hize with the bereaved household. The deceased was about nine years of age. He was ill sev- eral months ago with the measles, recovering from which pneumonia set in. From this disease the little fellow rallied, but very delicate state of health ensued and after a short period of apparent convalescence he fell ill with disease consequent upon the enfee- blement of the system, which baffled the ut most skill and the tenderest watchtulness and devotion. All that kind friends could bestow in sympathy has attended the little sufferer, and his death is mourned by many relatives neighbors and friends.

A few evenings ago parcel was dropped from one of the up-coming trains as it (the train) was crossing the huge iron trestle bridge at Cos Cob. Instead of falling into the water as was probably intended, the package was lodged on one of the cross beams, and there it was found. It contained the body of a newly born infant wrapped up in paper. The authorities of Greenwich have taken charge of it and will investigate, but according to our information there is but little likelihood that anything definite con corning the mystery can be discovered be- yond the fact above stated.-Stamford Advo- cate.

Invention.

Rev. W. F. Hutchins, graduate of the Theological seminary, has invented what is considered to be perfect defense for the lungs against dust. It is a respirator fitting closely to the nostrils and is worn with the least possible inconvenience. It consists of connected pair of oval, truneated cones of silver with their apexes cut of. Inside are filters, an ingenious arrangement of hair fiber valves, arranged like the spreading part of a tunnel. The dust being caught in these valves is expelled by each exhalation of breath. The filters can be readily removed from the tubes and cleaned at any time. It is great device to prevent dust and un- wholesome odors from the nose. The arti- cIe is manufactured here.
