a romance. She was born at Paris in
1S47. Her father. after having her

she had already secretly determined to
become an actress, in her course of
study at the conservatory she so dis

prize which entitled her to a debut
at the Theater Franchise. She select

and particularly praising her perfect
enunciation. She afterwards played
other parts at the Theater Franchise.

house TO the Gymnase. The directors
of the Gymnase did not take too seri

she lost no time in exhibiting that i'll

thing of her celebrity. The day after

herself in "Ruy Bias" and in transla

against her in the name of the Coincide |

Sarah accepted the offers of manager
for tour in America. From America |

Romance sack or r rdUo.-I he HnyS-
terry concerning the queer actions of
Bernard Straube, the German arrested
in this city several days ago charged
with obtaining money under false pre-
fences has at last been cleared. 1t is
now known that the young man was
banished from his home in Germany
and sent to this country by his father
in the hopes of severing his love and
affection for q young lady in the old
country whom Straube desired to mar
ry but which match was vigorously OPP
posed by the young mans parents. 1t
has been shown that Straube actually
did have so marks on deposit with
the Germany Society of New York
which could not be drawn out until
Feb %. 1t is now believed that when
he represented he had 5000 marks on
deposit there, he did it in a boaStful
manner and not with any criminal in
tent 1nasmuch as all the interested
parties have expressed a desire not to
have Straube prosecuted and friends
here have taken an interest in him, ar
rangements have been made to have him
given his liberty.
