The report that Lillian Russell Is about
to marry Walter Jones is a foolish effort
of sensstionalism. Miss Russell cannot
marry anybody until she secures a
divorce, and Perugini will give her no
grounds on which to institute a suit for
divorce. Miss Russell is in the posit ion
occupied by Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Pot
ter neither h wife, a maid nor a:widow.
She is tied nard and fast to our tenor,
and except by his consent che cannot
become free. There is no scan dal in the
conduct of Mr.. Langtry, Mr.. Potter or
Signor Perugini, and. however much
their wives wish to disentangle them
selves from these gentlemen, the law
holds them. A man must defend his wife
from assault, and we understand that
after reading the papers in these Gays
Signor Perugini inspects his cueling pis-
tolls and tries the temper of his rspier
with the air OF one who means to let
daylight through somebody.
james A. Herne Is playing "Shore Acres
this week, the enthusiasm over McKin-
iey's elect ION was received with such q
degree of enthusiasm that 1t prevented
the continuation of the play, and after
a half dozen attempts on the part OF The
was run down. After an interval OF
twenty minutes another attempt was
made to finish the peri ormance, but
the audience fouDd Ii could not keep
down it's feelings and Mr.. Herne and his
associates were Obliged TO Withdraw for
the night. Those who were present in
the house say that it was the most en-
thusiastic audience ever seen inside a
theater. When the news came that Nc
Kinley was surely elected, men and
women got up in their seats ana shouted
and yelled hurrah for fully twenty min
ar and the footing of horns MADE the
scene an indescribable one. At least fifty
chairs were broken down and other fur
niture W as greatly damaged.
