TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8.

Miss SpRAGUE.-In Broadway has OF late
been seen LADY once considered the most
beautiful of Washington belles. and still
notably handsome mstron. She Is accom-
panied by girl who is 8 strong likeness OF
what che herself was twenty years ago. The
nsir are fashionably dressed, but not richly,
and thew owe their distinction more to
their persons than to their clothes. Ihey
ara Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague and her
daughter Ethel The fact has lately come
out that Roscoe Conkiing. who was her 10
gal adviser, invested some of her fortune 80
mistakenly shet it was lost. or, at least
ceased to yield any income. For years o.
fore his death Mr.. Conkling gave to her,
out of his OWE earnings, an aDnuai sun
enusl to the interest Oh the money "hch he
had unfortunately invested ene Is no"
ont off from that source OF supply, ana le,
therefore, ia what, TO lndy long accus,
toned TO coed living, amounts to stralteueu
circumstances. Miss E bel Sprague pos.
assses the same sort OF besnry, dignity, ana
y;vacity which made the mother famous
when. as daughter OF the Chief Justice OF
the United States and brilliant mistress OF
his household she shone in Washington;
She has long desired to go OIL the stage ana
Mrs. Sprague conserving, has brought her to
New York TO make al actress OF her. ohe
will spend the winter in . course ,c Of ora
matte instruction. at the L.ceum Theatre,
and in the spring will, if sla Gao, make an
engagement for debut at The opening OF
the next season. That would give her the
summer in which to study AID otherwise
prepare for the role secured. The expecta,.
ton is that she will qualify as an actress OF
important and heroic Characters, ana mat
some theatrical capitalist will think 1t
good venture to put her forward conspicu-
ously. But all that remains TO DC seen ~

together with their contents, and the en-
gines are wrecks. The train dispatcher
had ordered the trains pass at Summit,
but one of the engineers mistook the name

NEW YoRK Jan. 2.-Sunday and Satur.
day were heavy foreign mail days in tho
postoffCe. A steamer from Queenstown
generally brings not more than four hun
dred or FIVE hundred sacks OF letters and
papers, but the Germanic on Saturday
brought 40 sacks, and besides that
there were five other vessels from
foreign ports which brought mail
matter amounting altogether to 1,035
bags. Each bag will average about one
hundred pounds of letters, Yesterday the
Etruria brought ,30 bags from London and
the Bretagna lS1 from Havre. This makes
the total for the two days 1,S95 sacks Of
foreign mail. The cause of these large
foreign mails is found partly in the holi-
day remembrances from abroad, and part
ly in the fact that business between Eng
land and the United States at this season
is especially active.
