Sohn T. Sullivan Her Husband, TeleEraphs
Tint He IL Supporting Her.
A telegram was received In this city Saturday
from John T. Sullivan. tho husband of Rose
Coghlan. denying that she was in need of the
proposed benefit which was described In THE SUN
yesterday. He says that he is earning q good SAL
AIRY. and sends his wife enough every week to
support her. Miss Coghlan has been, according
to tho general opinion, in very straitoncd cir
cumstances for some time.
Recently Miss Coghlan was questioned con-
corning a report to the effect that she and her
husband were separated. He has been acting
FOR several weeks in n San Francisco stock
company. She answered at the time: MIR.
sullivan and l are not separated and arc on rs
atfectinrate terms as ever. He is n sick man
and against his physicish's advice continues to
act in the West. lie is compelled to do it for
Mir. Sullivan is not an actor who was ever
very highly paid for his services in comparison
TO the salaries paid to well-kHown actors. He
was employed hero during, the greater part of
of Miss Brown and as the hero OF In Sight of
ST. Pauls." His earnings In the West are prob
ably net large enough to relieve Miss Cnrhlan's
financial obligations here to any great extent.
The First OF the Sunday Concerts at tho
Metropolitan Opera House.
Emma Eames was tho radiant object of the
applause that accompanied the opening OF the
Sunday series OF concerts at the Metropolitan
Opera House last night. She was most cordially
welcomed. although the gathering had perhA.

Pol Plancon, even without THE Two
Grcnadiers." returned to his old place in
the affections OF the concert audiences without
an effort, and Signor Ancona, with the prologue
from "Pagliacci." came back into the favor of
the first of these gatherings with evidence that
he was likely to remain there. But the greatest
marks OF favor were shown to Nine. Eames.
She sang "Dovo Sono' from lie Nozze di
Figaro and the clear beauty Of her voice ex-
pressed its sentiment perfectly. while the diff
culties of the aria were easily conquered by her
skilled vocalizat!on. She has been in better
voice during the past week than she was
last night, but her singing seems now so
completely without effort and her voice fills
the great house 30 completely that the enthusi.
nsm OF her hearers could be explained on other
grounds than the mere cordially OF u frst-
night audience. Later. witt NJ. Plancon. who
sang with his usual breadth and purity OF
style, she was heard IN a duet from
