company, make their second visit to Wash
ington this season, at Ford's Opera-Hou
tomorrow evening. This bright and ac-
complished actress, who is without q rival
in her line on the American stage, will on

house from pit to dome. The tender of this
benefit has been most kindly done and will
be the means of cmaking Miss Pal
mer more popular than ever in
this city. Her superb dressing, fine
singing and really artistic dancing and the
merit of the beautiful play of "My Sweet
heart" combined with the purposes of the
benefit, will no doubt make the opening
night the largest of the season. Company

event will be one long to be remembered.
