The Picture Is a "Hoodoo."

The death Of the young son of Henry
E. Abbey recalls the fact that the pic
ture on the act drop of the Broadway
theater has been fatal to every body con-
cerned, to say nothing of the effect upon
the handsome playhouse. The pretty
young girl in the stagecoach is portrait
of the daughter of T. Henry French, and
she is dead. The dashing cavalier on the
right is Matt Morgan, and he is dead.
The boy in the foreground is aportrait
of Manager Abbey's son, and now he is
dead. The picture represents the recep-
ton of a foreign bride by the young
daUphin of France, and the future of
the bride and groom was grewsome. 1t
is theatrical superstition that certain
pictures are unlucky.-New York Me
