fulfilling the contracts already made for

stage to make money, and has made it.
From reliable sources it is learned this

investment.
1t is no longer secret that Mrs. Langtry

weeks, nor is it secret that the Langtry
season will not begin for over four months.
Then she will follow her usual custom OF
buying property in every town where she
appears that she believes to be thriving

of wealth. Her real estate IS valued to-
