1t is now stated that Emma Abbott is the
richest member OF the profession, her pos
sessions being estimated at 100000. TWAS
directly due to her own energy and the
shrewd investments of her late husband,
Eugene Wetherill, that almost everything
they touched turned to gold, whether the
money was cast in the wide whirl of Wall
street or planted in real estate all the way
along the line of cities from Portland and
Seattle to Chicago. Emma Abbott has talked
a great deal to reporters, but she has never
told of her money making or investments,
like so many other loquaciOus stars. A for
tune of S5,000.000 sufpasses that Of Lolita or
Booth, and probably that of Adelina Patti,
who has probably made more money than
any artist Of this or any other day, but whose
living expenses are enormous compared to
those of the shrewd and thrifty Emma Alb
bot. Charles Pratt, her manager, states
that she personally earns $4,000 every sea-
son, and that the homogeneous profits are
as much more. While the fortune she is
supposed to possess has been materially aug
mented by her stage earnings, it has more
largely been acquired by speculation, and is
probably overeStimated.

his announcements, and extends its patron

Tie production of this new fnur-act melo-
drama, from TIE workshop OF MeSsrs

of seventeen weeks at the Boston Museum,
and it will be brought out here with entirely
new and realiSti scenery, painted by Mr.
Forrest Seapury. We judge from the story
that The Bells of HaslemeIe" is one OF the
choicest samples of the modern English
mplodramatic school, Forgery, murder,
thwared love are few of its darker con-
slituents; while the usual impTegnable VIZ
tue and undyiug affection on the part OF
soma of the characters balance the account
at last and put it on the right side OF the
books. Scenic effects and stage mechanism
will have a good deal to do with is success.
The action Of the piece takes lis hero from
England to the pantatl ms, bay0uS ana
cane-brakes of Louisiana, and the third act
has all the swampy flavor OF the Terrebonne
episode in BoucicaultS "OctorCon.

THE Ugly Duckllng," the play in which
Mrs. Leslie Carter Will make her debut, is
written upon the lines Of Hans Christian
Andersen's famous fable, THE Ugly Duck
ling" OF course the play is not dramatic
alton of the fable, but points the moral of
it. The illustrious Scandinavian poet pic
lures in his prettiest style an elderly female
duck presiding over a flock of her young
ones which has been batcbed in the OPEN
One of these, clumsy, ugly, ungainly bird
is the butt. not alo of the other ducklngs,
but of every body that sees it. 1t waddles
around too by it>elf, and acts in way
altogether unbecoming TO a sedate duckling.
When it grows up. however, it wanders
away from its duck home, and while in the
fields is surrounded by a flock of swans. The
bird looks at these, and finally sees that 1t is
itself as pretty. as strong and as large as
one of these swans, and stretching its white
wings it tries to fly, and finally joins in the
chattering flock Of swans that flies over its
own home, The little duckings in the
barnyard and the mature old duck recog
nize their old acquaintance which they
imagined as a duckling, but now a full
grown swan, and look in envy as it flies past
them. his is the moral that THE Ugly
