She was educated at a boarding Bchool at Stoke Newington, and showing a considerable aptitude for dramatic work, she finished her training under Professoi Eoskilly, of the City of London college. -She had taken leading parts in various productions in the provinces and in some of the minor theatres in London. In August, 1S92, she was living with her younger brother at soma rooms in Bow-street, and was taking some pupils in elocution. At that tima she met the defendant in a vegetarian restaurant in tha neighbourhood of Bow street.

He introduced himself to her, and saw her at her rooms, taking her fruit and flowers as presents. He showed her much attention, and offered her marriage in September, 1892. Subsequently the relationship became very intimate. The defendant had described himself as being a part proprietor of a -West-end club, and had Bpoksn of the visiting of his relatives. They continued on friendly terms until May, 1894, when he wrote to her Dear Addis, I have made up ray mind never to see yon again.

Forget all about me. I am not worthy of you. I am going out to Africa." On receiving this letter it eamt on plaintiff like a thunder-holt (said tho learned counsel), and she fell down in a faint, breaking her arm and injuring herself. She communicated with the da. fendant, but she was obligsd to bring the present proceedings.

imsibS; OPEBA AT SALTS' "TSSiiB. The Carl Eoe Opera company signsJ-ised their return to London hy one of the beet all-round performances of Tann-Jwiiser hitherto heard in tliis country. If one or two of the soloists have been surpassed on previous ocoasions the chorus certainly has not. Barely has he Chant of the been sung with bo nraeh solidity and unanimity of expression an on Monday. Madame Ella Bussell, as admirable an actress as she is singer, acquitted herself remarkably well aa Elizabeth, the moat consistent of Warner's heroines, and with Messrs.

Hedmondt and Luawio? resneotivelv the Darts of Tannhauser and VVolfram were perfectly sate, i ne concerted music was cawtany rendered throughout, and Herr Riekard Eckhold, the oonduotor, showed bimaell thoroughly versed in the score besides having complete command of his pioelient orchestral force. In the title part of Carmen, on Tues-' day, Mile. Zelie de Lussan exhibited unabated vocal power, dramatio effect, and general attractiveness. Mr. M'Guckin was again a spirited Jose, Mr.

William Paull won the usual encore for the Toreador's song, and M. Claude Jacqninot conducted a singularly smooth rendering of Bizet's charming work. Even the difficult quintet in the second act was: sung steadily and in tune throughout. Wednesday brought Messrs. Joseph-Bennett and Hamih MacCuhn's Jeani Deans, originally produced by the company in Edinburgh fourteen months ago, but not before heard in London.

This, musical version oi Scott's The Heart of Midlothian'' deah with some of the. main incidents in independent fashion, each scene being complete in itself the interest is continuous. The merrymaking beforo stern old Davie Deans' cottage, the arrest of EfSe on the charge of murdering her babe, the attack on the Toibootb, the devoted Jeanie's interview with Queen Caroline in Richmond Park, and the return of Joanie with a pardon after her sister has been led forth to execR-tion, provide material for tender as wellaa stirring music, of which Mr. MacCunn has on the whole skilfully availed himself. Unfortunately for the' chancos of abiding popularity of the work, the composer has been rather sparing of sustained tunefulness, phrases that arc retained by the ear being few and far between, except in a fragmentary form.

In places, however, the-music is as dramatic as the subject it is intended to il-. lustrate, and one scenethat in. which Jeanie visits the Laird o' Dumbiedikes to borrow money for her journey to London is delightful from beginning to end. In the Richmond Park scene tha minuet from Handel's Water Music is aptly introduced by an unseen orchestra during a conversation between the Queen and Lady Suffolk. HiBses Marie Duma and Alice Esty as Jeanie and Effie respectively, Mr.

Hedmondt as Staunton, Miss Edith Miller as Madge Wildfire, Mr. Alec Marah as sturdy Davie Deans, and Mr. Lempricre Pringla as tho good-natured Dumbiedikes, sustained their parts remarkably well. The band and chorus maintained their reputation, and Mr. MacCnim.who conducted, was warmly complimented at the close.

A spaed nerformance of LoJienQrin was given on Thursday with Madame EHsf Russell and Mr. Ja Guefiin as tns two principals, and on Friday Mignon was revived, Mdilo. Zilie do Lussan proving a charming representative of Goethe's heroine. Miss Florence Monteith, whose debut last year at Covent Garden was so favourable, has by her first appearance at the San Carlo, Naples, confirmed the good impression she then made. She too the pait of Elsa in Lohengrin on Monday night, and the audience gave "her an enthusiastic reception.

Signor Vignaa was the Lohengrin, and Signor Lombard! the conductor. It is no light achieve-msnt for an English prima "donna to please the Neapolitans. This being LeaD Tear the chance cosn9B of celebrating th9 birthday of Rossini, who was born on Feb. 1792. Mas-csgni, being the director of the.
