has frequently been heard here in lead
ing opera roles, has always been fa-
vorite with the musical people of our
sanity city, and will doubtless receive
a fiattering reception on the occasion of
her first star appearance in our midst.
She is supported bya capable company.
The Peoples did an exceptionally
good business last week. The new peo-
pie who have been added to the stock
company made good impression, and
there is every reason to believe that the
high standard which the organization
erected in the beginning will be main
tanned. The bill for the coming week
is 1.-The Guv'nor," with Miss YOUNG and
Messrs. LIPMAN and HUEBNER in the
leading roles. The entire company will
be cast for the performance.

A touching obituary of old JOHN ROB-
INSoN, the Snowman, says: I'm the use
Of cuSS words he was without rival"
Z. L. BARNUM was never swearing
man, but if anything would tempt him
this late IN life to practice profanity it
would be to read that tribute to his late
rival. BARNUM is man who doesn't
like to he excelled in anything.
In her GLOBE letter to-day CLARA
BELLE criticises Mrs. LANGTRY's par
tiality for Iow-necked dresses. 1t must
be pretty low cut when CLARA kicks
on it.
LOUIS JAMES and MARIE VAIN
WRIGHT will end their long and deli
cious summer holidays this week, and
start for this city, where they open their
season. They appear at the Grand all
next week. 1t was genuine love
match between LOUIS and MARIE, and
the honeymoon is still at the zenith.
