A private letter from Chicago states that
Mrs. Leslie arter has had mora trouble In
her domestic affairs. II seems that by q
decree Of the court in her divorce suit she
is permitted to see her child, upon whom
she ooIcs at stated intervals
She was given to understand, however,
BY those who were intimate with the other
side that directly she arrived IN Chicago

that she was able TO appear at ali that

The letter also states that a certain
clique, presumably friends of her husband,
have determined 10 annoy the lady as much
as possible during her stay in that city.
They set together in the front rows al
night and nuke audible remarks about
Mrs. Carter, referring among other things
TO the details Of the divorce case and to her
subsequent career; anything, in fact. thai
they believe liable to wound her feelings.

night in Chicago, urged on by this petty
conduct, she actually broke down in reality
and cried as if her heart would break.
Can these statements be truce
The above paragraph is from the morn
ing Journal. We fear the statements are
entirely true, and If they are not it is en-
tirely natural that they should be. We
had the privilege-we will not say pleas
ure-Of sitting through one Of Mrs. Car
ter's performances Of Miss Hellyet, In
Chicago recently. and from the comments
heard or ali sides we judge that Chicago is
just the city to give Mrs. Carter some
pleasant instances of its regard for her.
But the Carter should not be over sensi-
tive. A lady who has passed through the
divorce courts with the ccldt she achieved,
who besmirched the good name Of her hns7
band through and through as she did, who
boldly comes back to her old home and the
present home OF her husband at the head

Of little ''gnying" from the orchestra

The season just closed stands out in the
atrical annals as one of the most disastrous
ever known. The country is strewn with
the wreckage OF small companies, and The
big troupes have come in with smaller

The New York Mirror has received
letter from Richard Mansfield dated in this
city during his engagement here, wherein
be says a Salt Lake paper has been inter-
viewing him and making him say things
which he did not say. lnasmuch as the
articles were printed during Mansheld's
presence here, and seeing that he did not
then dispute their correctness. his letter to
the lhfrror will be taken for what it is
worth--which is not much.
