doubt all MIR. Lindsay's friends will be out

To Sarah Bernhard belongs the credit
of projecting the most audscious theatrical
scheme on record.

q business man as Henry E. Abbey thinks
il practicable and Is willing TO undertake
the experiment The idea, in brief, is
tour of the world on a specially chartered
steamship of not less than three Thousand
tons, carrying the company, scenery and in
cidentaly, freight, to help pay expenses
which would be nearly 1000 day.
MIR. Abbey was in close communication
with MIR. Spreckels, of the Oceanic Steam
ship line. on the subject during his recent
visit to this city.
II leaked out today that he had almost
completed negotiations for the exclusive
use of a steamer of the Mariposa type fol

He said: al am not surprised to hear o
