over the whole matter, old Bob Fitzsim-

ten Hart into the ring and stripped him
Of his alleged honors, has puzzled every
one and kept Broadway in q ferment.
AT last the truth has come out. Fitz

Cuitivating Voice.
1t seems that a short time ago Mrs.
F1tzsimmons, who has a strong. but not
cultivated voice, proposed to her hus-
band that she be permitted to go to
Paris and take vocal lessons for at least
year, when she felt confident she
would be able to shine in grand opera,
and earn enough money to keep the en-
tire family in the utmost splendor.
Fttz consented. and sent her away
with his blessing, all the valuable jew
els that descended to her from his first
wife, and also the diamonds that were
presented to her personally by Fitz In
order to be sure that the wolf did not
lofter about the door. Fitz entrusted
her with some 5000 In money that he
had earned by the perspiration of his
honest fists.

1t is whispered in theatrical circles
that when the young wife kissed her
lord and master farewell at the pier
she had made up her mind that she
would not again return to her own fire.

existence she had been accustomed to
before her gaze first fell on the debonasr
