ANOTHER sroRY TOLD.
what Has Become of the National
Opera CompnnY,a Receipts.

Opera COmpany's Receipts.
New YoRK, Feb. 2s.-Thc husband Of
Bertha Pierson of the late National Opera
Company tells story about the business
fthc company that differs from Manager
Locke's account
Mr.. Piorson claims that the business for
the last five weeks has been over $4,000,
rs follows: Washington, $4,000 clear of
the house percentages Philadelphia -four
performancesl, $4,000; Richmond and
Norfolk, $1,000, and the second week in
Washington, $1,000. He says that the
expenses at the outside should not cx-
ceed $4,000 per week, or $42, 900 for four
weeks and three days, leaving balance
of $4,000
"Instead of this" he saws. "nothing
has been paid and the money has disap-
poared"
In conversation at the Grand Hotel
Messrs McGuckin and Ludwig said in
substance that the season that had lust
ended 50 unluckily began we'll on Novem-
Der . last in Philadelphia. The opera
company played to good business in that
city, Baltimore, PittsbuTg Cincinnati
st. Louis, Kansas City, st. Paul Omaha
Lincoln, Minneapolis and Milwaukee.
During the second week in Cincinnati
the first serious trouble occurred through
hllfs II IuIStll-NhuAl ublutllllB Jilt IfttlDlo
to recover an old debt. From that time
the troubles thickened, though it is
claimed the company was playing to
$20,0 600 to $4,000 week.
The stranded singers state that the
financial catastrophy was brought about
by the fact that Manager Locke was
weighed down by old debts he was forced
to pay out of the .company's earnings,
and thus swaInped them in trying so
hard, they claim, to save himself

WASHINGTON CRITIC
A RUINED HOME.
The Sad Story of Anna Fenton and
James Cation.


The Sad story of Anna Fenton aud
James Cation
Some three years since james II Ca
ton, then a lad of IS or 10 Years old,
met Anna NJ. Fenton, girl some two
years older than himself She was q
girl of pleasing manners, popular among
the young folks of her circle and soon
won the admiration of James Cation. She
was in turn taken with the youth, and
their regard for each other ripened into
the warm affection which is possible only
at their period flife.. He was regular
in his attentions and called on her twice
every week for three years.
In the carly part of the year 1887 she
met man named Bohrer, who succeeded
in binding her for a time TO the honest
worth and the sincere love of young Ca
ton. He wooed her, won her, and dis
carded her. Cation coptinued his visits,
never suspecting any deceit. Bohrer de-
serted her, and she turned again to Cation.
On the 9th of last February the young
man asked her to marry him, she con-
sented, and the ceremony took place on
the Sth at Rockville. He brought her to
his parents house, and she was installed
as his wife.
Shortly after she complained of illness,
and on the 18th, gave birth to a boy baby.
llltA nHil pItNtulcu
any suspicion from rising in his mind
and shame and terror had kept her from
telling him the truth His parents, al
though enraged allowed her to remain al
their home until she was able to return
TO her mother. The baby was sent to St
AIMS Infant Asylum. After she had
left the house of her husband she wrote
him the following note:
~ admit | have treated you shame

who deceived me left me TO my own fate

you. ANNA NJ. CATION,
"ANNA NJ. BENToN."
Mr.. Cation filed suit for divorce som
time ago, Justice Cox has had the cas-
under consideration for several days, ant
has, owing to its extraordinary character
concluded to certify it to the Court il
General Term. This is only another o
the touching incidents of human life a
developed in the divorce court, such a
the writers of fiction embody in thei
works and depict with colors which max
them seem too sad to have ever had thei
parallel in reality.

THE SOUTH AND THE TARIFF.
Georgia VIII support the President in
Spite of His Messnge.

Spite of His Message.
Hon. Patrick Walsh, editor of the Au-
gusta (Ga.) Chronicle and q member of
the Democratic National Executive Com
mittec, had just returned from u drive
last evening when CErTfC reporter met
him in the lobby of Wilard's Hotel and
approached him with an inquiry as to
the sentiment of the South with regard to
the tariff
That's very broad subject" replied
Mr. Walsh. ~ might tell you how Geor-
gia stands but, as for the whole South,
that would be impossible"
is it not true that the people of Geor-
eia favor the repeal of the internal reye-
nueY'
"There is most pronounced sentiment
throughout the State in favor of the abol-
ishment of the internal revenue taxes,
but am not prepared TO say that it is the
sentiment of a majority of the voters.
There is also sentiment in favor of the
Presidents views, but ] cannot definitely
estimate ITS strength. OF course / would
like to see the internal revenue abolished,
but while many Democrats differ with
the President on that question they will
nevertheless support him"
DO you think he will be renomi-
natedY'
"Most assuredly | do. His renomina-
ton is n foregone conclusion. Nothing
will prevent it. lie will receive the nom
ination by acclamation. The men who
are betting that he will not be renomi-
mated are very foolish

ADoRNING THE PARKS. Is. :
Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Plants to be Set Out This Spring.

The Commissioner of Public Buildings
and Grounds is perfecting arrangements
for spring operations in the public parks
and reservations more extensive than
ever before.
Two hundred and fifty thousand plants
will be set out and distributed among q
larger number of parks and beds than
during any previous season.
The ecaveria which was successfully
introduced among the early flowers last
year will this year be planted in greatly
increased numbers.
II has been found necessary in many
parts of the city to protect the flower beds
with screens of fine green wire, and this
is now being done.
The erocuses in Lafayette Park bloomed
this year, February 23, an unusually
early date, and it is believed that by the
middle of March the parks will be bright
and attractive.
The grounds surrounding the new
Army Medical Museum will receive at
tention this spring. The annex of that
building is now under roof and will be
completed by April 1, when the improve
ment and ornamentation of the grounds
will be commenced.
The Smithsonian grounds will also
be extensively improved and new paths
made and paved.

A Buddhist Tragedy.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 2S.-The China
mail brings details of a remarkable
tragedy in a Buddhist monastery near
Canton. Two monks assaulted two beau
tiful young women, who were among the
applicants for membership of the order
The screams of the women brought as.
sistance. The two monks were punished
by public whipping. They resisted and
attacked the abbott with knives. For
this double oiIense they were burned
alive, being bound hand and foot and
thrust into the crematory of the monas-
terry in the presence of the brethren and Il
crowd of spectators The affair was con
ductcd with religious solemnity.
