Aunt" Louisa Eldridge will this week
engineer q subscription for a monument to
be erected to the memory of Mrs. Mary Fiske,
whose death a few months ago was deplored
by the dramatic profession. Mrs. Eldridge
will probably be treasurer Of the fund, and
as she is q lady whose energy in whatever she
undertakes is we'll known, the monument
will surely assume shape in the least possible
time. A monument costing $500 has been
looked at, but 30 many people have shown a
willingness to subscribe to this fund that

proved to be a gold mine, and as "Paola"
will also realize something snug, Harry Panl-
ton will in all probability be but little dis
concerted.
