~ War company in st. Louis, last season,
Gen. Sherman said of the march of the
young ladies in act Ill:
''The marching of the yonng ladies of the

as they do the same march the generals

Emma Abbott is in Europe securing at
fractions, and, on her return, will give an
English opera season at New York. OF this
the Dramatic Nescs says: The Abbott Weth-
erell- Pratt management is admirably adapted
for the execution of such a scheme. In
spite of certain halo of humbug with which
her advertising methods have surrounded
her, Miss Abbott is a very able artist-a pop
ular woman. Her managers are among the
most discreet and business-like in the pro-
fession. With their executive ability in the
| front of the house and hers upon the stage,
there is every reason to believe that the
| financial triumphs of the Abbott company on
the road will find repetition in New York
