A NEW STORY
TOLD ABOUT
h. f. ABBEY.
Interesting Scene Between the
Famous MANAGER and John
T.RdunOnd That Took
Place In Abbeu'S
London Office.

The late Henry L. Abbey was very
busy in his London office one day in
August, 1888. 4 number of clerks at
desks in different parts of the room
were hard Mt work. coming now and
then with unfinished paper in hand and
receiving q quiet word of instruction
from their chief, or advising with one
another, comparing documents or con-
sulting ledgers. but all working Indus
trlously and silently. The place was far
more suggestive of the executive seat
of some gigantic commercial house than
the Office of a Snowman. 1t was near
the opening of Mr.. Abbey's season Mt
the Lyceum theater. London. and OF his
still more important operate venture
at the Metropolitan opera House in
New York. besides Henry Irving's first
tour In America under his management.
Mr.. Abbey himself was buster than
any of his clerks. Hts table was heap
ed with papers. At one side, and de-
voted entirely to his private and per-
sonal correspondence. lay a magnih-
gently bound alligator leather writing
desk, ornamented with silver trimmings
and with Mr.. Abbey's initials in large
silver letters upon the lid. The busy
manager was writing slowly, but so in
tently and cautiously that the lmpor-
lance OF his work was evident. Now and
then messenger, cap In hand, would
silently give him telegram or cable
gram, which he would read and answer
without word and then resume his
work. Suddenly the door was thrown
open. and this almost solemn silence
was interrupted by hearty voice that
any American would have recognized in
n moment in whatever part OF the globe
he might have heard it:
Hello, Henry! Here I am. / start
for Liverpool at AIS. l couldn't leave
without bidding you goodby."
1t was John T. Raymond. He came
in with a valse in one hand and an
| umbrella in the other. l think, too. he

Mr.. Abbey mildly refused this sugges-
ton, as he had the proposition to match
sovereigns. and seemed actually in pain
between his desire to resume the impor-
tant work before him and his desire not

by his side.

Theatrical News and Gossip Of
the Week In New York Citu.
RumorS From the
RiaIto.

New York. April 1.-THE theatrical
season in New York. as In many of the
smaller cities of the country. Is now
fairly on the wane. Several OF the
houses here have already closed, and
others will do so shortly. Every sea-
son has to wane and eventually come

self not significant but the fact that
this particular season has seen fit to

decidedly ominous. 1 asked promi-
nent manager the other night for his
explanation of this undesirable change.
He followed the fashion OF the day
by asserting that the bicycle Ia re-
sponsible for the early falling on in
patronage. As, by common consent,
the bicycle has been blamed during
the last few years for every change
In business conditions. this theory was
not particularly novel or satisfying
one. But the manager then condescend-
ed to go bit further, and l think he
contrlved to really strike at the root OF
the evil.
He said that there are too many
theaters now and that cities which a
few years ago were veritable Klondlkes

that the goose that laid the golden egg

bigger mistakes than any other profes-
sion in the country, for when 1t comes
down to doing that which no sensible
man would regard us even worthy of
consideration for a moment the the
ntrical magnate is always well to the
fore, with his hands eagerly stretched
beyond the line.
And, speaking OF the practically end
ed season, II has been unique in many
respects. Business on the road has been
