DEATH OF HISS ABBOTT.
The sweet SiIger Dreaihes Her
Last,

This morning al 7:i), in this city,
Emma Abbott, one Of the brightes.
lights OF ihe American stage, de-
parted this lie. The account Of her
death wiz be read with regret in
every city in the United States.
Her popularity ,qualed. if not sur
passel, that Of any other performer
on the lyric stage OF this country.
The members OF her company are
utterly pros:ratsl with grief owing
20 the suidsnness OF her demise.
Her manager, Mr.. Pratt, was scarce
ly able 10 speak about her, owing to
the intensity Of his sorrow. "a
better and purer woman" said be,
.never walked on this earth. She
has been with ms eleven years, and
a more harmonious ani happy
family than ours never trod the
boards of any country. l am utter
ly broken down by her untimely
death.''
Miss Abbott was BON in Chicago
about thiriy-s;x years ago. She
first appeared in public with the
Mapleson Cpefa Company thirteen
yeats ago, making her debut in
Dublin. While in Europe she
married Mr.. Il. /. Wetherell. who
acted a. her manager in partnership
with Mr. Pratt until tive years ago,
when lie died in Denver, Of pneu-
m-nia, and on the same week Of
the year that Miss Abbott died.
Her career on the American
stage is well known to every lover
of music, and therefore little need
5e said of il. Her appearance in
any city or hamlet from the At
lantic to the Pacific was regarded
by the opera going pl5lic as n
musical festival; and many a
tOngtie will this evening utter a
!ervent prayer tia. peace will be
the heritage Of her soul in the vast
beyond.
When Miss AbbO.t came 10 this
city on Wednes lay last she was
then suffering from z severe cold. |
she consulted d.. Pinkertou of this
city. On Wednesday night DR..
Pinkert1n went to the Theatre and
saw her, and tried to induce her not |
10 appear that evening but to
return to her hotel. She would
not abiie by the doctors advice, but |
took some tonics and went on with |
her work. On the following day,
though growing still worse, she
wanted To appear again on the stage,
but the doctor positively forbade her,
telling her that her trouble hal |
developed into a bad case of
oneu nonia. Finally she con-
iormcd 10 medical advice, but she |
grew worse, and on Saturday DR..
Pinkert0n prI nouneed her case
hopeless. This morning at 7:iD, in the
rempl-ton Hotel, she breathei her
asst. The sorrOw-stricken members
II her company feel as If they had
ost a ica- sister or fond parent, and
he face of each bears mIrss
Il many a tear and heartfelt sigh.
The body will be embaimed ami
to Chicago for interment.
