The sudden death Of Henry L. Abbey,
the famous operate manager, was a
surprise and a great shock tc a large
circle of admirins friends. M. Abbey
had enjoyed large measure of succe IS
as a manager, but he had also met
viii reverses over which he brooded,
and tnn fact Is believed to have lead
tC his mt mely death. Mr.. Abbey's
fir. import mt work as a manager was
the introduction of Bernhardt to the
American public. This was in 1881,
and few managers we're willing to as
sumo the risk which such an undertake
ing involved, Mr.. iObey's liberal and
enterprising management, combined
with the matchless power of this fa-
nous actress, united to make one of
the most remarkable theatrical sue
cesses which had ever been recorded.
While Mr.. Abbey's theatrical ventures
were uniformly successful, the firm
lost heavily in their operate enter
prises and became seriously involved
with the sad result above referred to.

head of the famous Cordage Trust,
whose entertainment were on a scale
OF royalty at one time, but who subse-

With the money realized from these
sales, advanced to him by his wife.
Mr. Waterbury will again commence
business in comparatively small way.
Judge Gaynor, of Brooklyn, who
made a famous record for himself
when he pursued the debauchers OF
elections and secured the conviction ol
John Y. McKane. and incidentally his
own elevation to a seat on the Supreme
bench, has appealed to Governor Nd.
ton on behalf OF McKane. He urges
the Governor to release the fallen
Gravesend chieftain on the condition
that McKane is not restored to citizen
ship, which he forfeited when con-
victed. 1t is believed that Judge Gay
nors action will have much weight
with Governor Morton, as 1t was he
who really sent McKane to Sing Sing.
1t was Justice Gaynor's canvass for
Justice OF the Supreme Court in Octo-
ber. 1893, that got McKane into trou-
BILE. Mr.. Gaynor sent number OF men
down to Gravesend to copy McKane's
registry list The list contained 6,218
names of men living and dead; 5000
OF them were fraudulent McKane's
