AS THE CROWDS CONE OUT.

! It seems too bad that Mrs. Coghlan
No. should apparently be intending
to forgive Charles Coghlan and take
him into her favor again. One would
think that she might be tired Of him for all
time. But it is true that she has certainly
been very friendly to him of late When
iew months ago the marriage Of Coghlan and
hume Beyeridge was announced people
pitlea tne TWO Mrs. Coghlan and condemned
nlm. Inc first Mrs. Coghlan had
| lived with him twenty years and
mad grown daughter. She had been received
| everywhere as his wife. Coghlan was so and
| Miss Beveridge only 10. People who knew
| the man said that this was not his first yen-
ture from tine straight path. but that always
| before he had gone back to the woman who
| considered herself his real wife. Now the
predictions OF these people are likely to be
verified Coghlan is not living with Mrs.
Beveridge-Coghlan. She has left him or he
has deserted her. and they are staying in dif-
ferent parts OF New York, and Mrs. Coghlan
No. is living within a couple OF blocks OF
him. She has withdrawn her suit for divorce
and alimony. When Coghian was lying i'll in
Pittsburg recently after the disastrous
ending OF his proposed tour Mrs. Cogh-
Ian and Miss Gertrude Coghlan were
most solicitous as to his welfare. 1t
was well known that he wished to Join
away from Pittsburg, and instead OF joining
him, made arrangements for q time to go to
New York. They engaged apartments scarcely
hundred yards away from their own. Mrs
Beveridge left him there, and now there is
speculation as to just how this matrimonial
complication will end.
On the Avenue Saturday night two young
girls, one Of them certainly not more than
thirteen years old, were walking rapidly past
tine triangle in front of the National theater
They were dressed correctly and were mind
ing their business. Two dudes strolled in
the same direction. They looked at the
bright faces of the girls and hurried along
after them. One of the men attempted TO
take the arm OF each girl.
The little one looked frightened. They
both looked frightened. In a moment the
older OF the girls swung her arm around
smartly and struck her dude with the palm Of
her hand in the face. The dudes were dazed
moment and two or three people noticed
the group before they could escape. Then
they ran across the triangle and into the
lobby OF the National.
The death Of dear old Harry McGlenan, 70
years the manager of the Boston Theater. has
just occurred in Boston. He was one OF the
best known citizens Of that town, loved
almost as no else in it. Mr. McGlenan was
Kenaday. of this city. He began his career as
Mexican war veteran, comrade of Alexander
a programme boy in Baltimore nearly fifty
years ago. His annual benefit was billed
some time ago 10 occur this evening in the
Boston Theater.
The new playhouse Of z. F. Keith in
Boston is easily the first in the country in
general construction. decorations, furnish
ings, and minor accessories. For instance,
from the orchestra reception rooms open at
the left a marble staircase. leading to
an elegantly fitted smoking room for
gentlemen. while at the right Is the
ladies' parlor. with gem OF a fire place
in blue and mottled ivory tiles, with a brass
border, and having plate-glass mirrors above
and at each side framed in exquisitely carved
stereo relief. In the center OF the orchestra
reception room. resting against the middle
pier OF the three arches which give entrance
to the auditorium. is a white marble fountain.
These are little items. The whole house is after
a like magnificent fashion. The prosceDium
arch is 81 feet square and the stage 45 feet
deep. The capacity of the theater is 5000
people, and its cost has been 100000. This
Mr. Keith dozen years ago opened a small
dime museum exhibition. Now he owns not
only this palace, but others in New York,
Philadelphia and Providence de has been
entertaining crowd of newspaper men and
others in his new playhouse, and may expect
nice pu1s like this.
Signor and Nine. Perugini are through
with their honeymoon trip. and last night in
New York gave respondent wedding recep-
ton to a great number of distinguished peo-
pie, theatrical and otherwise. Now that this
happy couple are apparent again, people are
wondering what Lillian Russell will do next

Lyric theater. London. which would be con-
sidered the best step in her career.
