had q voice like a tin whistle, q chest like a
pancake and all abdomen like a balloon. I'm
der these circumstances IL was not wonderful
that people displayed no wild anxiety to go and
look at her. After quitting the stage, she
fen in love with Frank Bangs, and began
him 'mash' letters. He accepted her atten-
tons and her money, and they were married.
Then, after living together a week, they parted.
His charges against her are mysterious: hers
against him arc trivial. The fact is, til her
first husband only stood her for a week, 50 tho
record is against her. In a public interview,
describing how he stayed away from her, she
says: "Ihe next morning the hotel proprietor
telegraphed me that he was i'll with cholera
morbns. Then he came home and kissed me.
and had the cholera morbus again" Well, I
don't blame him; 1shonld have thought he
might have had the delilium tremens. The
whole thing is disgusting aud disgracefui, even
as a stage scandal.
The cold weather has come on unusually
early this year, and the watering places around
Island, Newport and Rockaway are almost do
serted. The people have been flying for home
through two solid weeks, now. and New York
is sgain full OF its regular residents. The
hotel Keepers say they will end the season
three weeks earlier than usual, and at an i'm
msuse loss. 1t Is all expensive matter to run
a seaside hotel, and it doesn't take a very long
period of bad business TO knock the profits
galley west At Coney Island the best hotels
are letting rooms for whatever they can get,
aud that isn't much. There are few people,
aside froEI those financially interested in the
place, who are sorry to know this.
Coney Island is a glittering sham. 1t
i, a worse place for extortion and rob-
try than Niagara itself. One has to pay
double price for inferior accommodations, aud
place to give the chills and fever to a craven
image. Much of the time the water is hot tit
to lathe in, by reason Of the garbage that has
hoated ashore from the dumping scows, and
t ere Is everywhere a shoddy, veneered atmos-
phere that is not enjoyed by people in their
island has been the fashion. But people have
come to see through it now, and the place has
had its day. 1t was the paradise Of s~harpers
Of both sexes, but this wont be so any more.
Hence let us rejoice, my brethren, and be e1-
ceaingly glad.
4 LETTER FROM MARI.
A friend of mine had a letter from Mary
Anderson the other day. Mary Is in London.
and l suppose she won't like my giving this
thing away. However, here goes, and this is
what she SAYS: II have been enjoying myself
pretty steadily. You know l like to go to
theater- above everything else, aud now that l
have nothing else to do | have been making the
most of the opportunity. The London theaters
do not leave our own piayhouses out of sight,
by any means. The Savoy and the Haymarket

Judges when he comes over. To me-, in spite
of stronger and more striking mannerisms
Than | ever saw in any Other actor.
there is a great charm in his work. Ho under
stands every point, aud he knows just how to
make everything tell. He will make q great
in America, and will divide the crit
les widely. In regard to my own engagement
in London, 1t certainly looks well-so well that
l am very little concerned about the result. 1t
IS wrong 10 suppose there is a prejudice IN
England against American artists. The pref
udice is all the other way, Everywhere l have
been received with marked courtesy and kind
ness. All these compliments would have
turned my head, only that 1t is pretty well fast
eued on by his time. MIR. Abbey has engaged
Mr.. j. L.. Barnes 10 support me. You have .l-

of tho company are Americans. I mean TO
work hard and seriously, and l really think
the chances of success are with me. Good by.

deal 10 be in New York just for a day."

plays ready for production, but, in spite of
previous intentions, they won't touch any of
them for the immediate future, because The

This looks pretty badly for Capt. Perry and Fresh,
the American.
Mr.. O'Wilde is the newest appellation for the
British aesthetic. About this time, after reading the
criticisms on Vera, Oscar is sadly murmuring, "Oh.

Johnny Rogers is tickled almost to death. They
