the Husband

The funeral of Mrs. bennett Mosely,
whose sad death at the Columbia Hospi-
tai on last Saturday was told exclusive
" in The Times, took place yesterday.
The services were of the simplest char
acter, only the few friends whom the
unfortunate young woman made while
in the city being present. There was sim
cere mourning for her, however. when
her remains were deposited in the ground
of Glenwood Cemetery.
Nothing has yet been heard of bennett
Mosely, the husband who brought her to
Washington and then deserted her.
Neither the first wife whom he deceived
nor the friends of the dead woman have
seen anything of him. Mr.. q. L. Strick-
land, father of the deceased Mrs. Nose
", has, it is said, started for Washing
ton, and is expected to arrive here to-
morrow.

peateCly since the initial performance on

are now being made for the double bill
to be sung next week, and the PROBABLE
ity is that its excellence will even ex-
coed that of 1.-THE Bohemian Girl The
operas selected for rendering are 81
Pagliacca'' and "Cavalleria Rusticana,"
two masterpieces that should be most
appreciate at the hands of the Jaxon
Company. In giving the latter the mag

theater will be used extensively in play

work abounds. An exceptional cast will
