WIVES O s MANAGERS. Mi s. A. M. Palm • r, Mre. Henry E. Abbey Mrs. John Stetspn, Mrs. Edward Har rigan, Mrs. Mart Hanley, and Others .—Their Aid to Their Husbands. From the New Yofk Morning Journal. One of the stage carpenters in a promi nent theatre remarked sagely the other dAy: “1 see a good deal in the papers about the Misters of the profession, but I seldom see anything about the Mistresses. But they’ve got a lot to say.” This is probably true. Most men in this independent America of ours depend a good deal more on their’wivos' advice than they care to own, and among the managers, who rule a business that is the plaything of every breeze that blows, the rule is most binding. This grows, perhaps, from the fact that in theatrical matters woman to-day “rules the roost," and woman can ordinarily tell what will please her sex better than a man in the way of plays. For instance, Mr. A. M. Pal mer, whose business acumen and thorough common sense in the selection of his pieces is universally acknowledged, and, what is better still, is attested by his uniform suc cess, never brings out a drama or a comedy at the popular Madison Sqaure Theatre with out submitting it for a reading to Mrs. Pal mer, and she has often made suggestions that have added in no small degree to the attrac tiveness Of the play; indeed, within a month past the new cpmedy-drama that was ac cepted by Mr. Palmer was subsequently much improved through Mrs. Palmer’s sug gestion that, the original motive of the piece was not sufficient upon whic 1 to base the consequences that followed from it; and so the author took it back, re-arranged this motive so as to make the original crime more striking than at first, and the piece immedi ately oecame one of great interest, where formerly, perhaps, its success might have been doubtful. , Mrs. Palmer is a handsome lady, most striking in her appearance. For a year or so she has been a great dual of an invalid, but has rapidly improved of late, and will soon be able to devote herself once more to the social duties of which she is fond, and the deprivation of which has been a groat source of conoern iu many households. For Mrs. Palmer does not consent to be a bub terfly of fashion for its pleasures alone, but seldom loses sight, of the good that she oau do by means of her social connec tions. She has, for instaneo, established several sewing societies, in which she is a most active worker, and which have been of enormous benefit to the poor of her neighborhood. Within a short time she has moved again to New York from her beauti ful home at Stamford, Conn. And it may be relied upon that during the present winter she will again undertake the works of benef icence with which her name is so intimately identified. Mr. Henry E. Abbey has a wife who is universally "known—so far as New York is concerned,at any rate —for her sterling abili ties as an actress, and her work at Wallack’s Theatre is likely to be the most noticed of any stock actress of the season. Mrs. Abbey was formerly known as Florence Gerard, and obtained a very enviable reputation in England for the versatility, as well as the worth, of all she did. She generally pre ferred comedy peiformances, and in the lino of the higher class of burlesque she was con sidered unrivaled on the other side. When Edwin Booth first went to England, how ever, he was supported in the great parts of the legitimate drama by the present Mrs. Abbey, and it is that fact, perhaps, that brought her most prominently before the American public, so that a little while after ward she was .engaged by Mr. John Stetson as the leading lady of the stock company which he formed at the Fifth Avenue The atre, which had Charles Coghlan for its leading man. Mr. Stetson then found out and learned a lesson which,"to some extent, Mr. Abbey is learning now, and that is that the New York public will not stand any very long siege of old plays. If we are right, Mr. Stetson opened his season with Bulwer’s Money, which Mrs. Abbey, then Florence Gerard, appeared in as “Clara Douglas”. This was followed by The Duke’s Motto, and neither of these pieces attracted any attention. It was only when Florence Gerard appeared, in conjunction with Henry E. Dixey, in a bur lesque on Irving’s Shylock, the lady playing a most exquisite satire of Ellen Terry's Portia, that New York ran in crowds to see the entertainment, and it is one of the few burlesque performances that will be for many years remembered. After that Mr. Stetson got somewhat out of patience with his stock company generally, and Florence Gerard had to go traveling. She met with a grievous accident in New Haven through slipping on tho ice, and injured her knee-cap very seriously. It is an injury that still affects her not a little. About two years ago Mr. Abbey met her in London, and not very long after the the atrical world was surprised at their mar riage. Mr. Abbey does not conceal the fact that he has been a thoroughly happy man ever since then, and that in the manage ment of Wallack’s Theatre he has a help meet who is of the greatest aid to him. Mrs. Abbey is a very pretty woman, slight of figure, stylish of dress and intensely de voted to her profession. Her “Polly” in Caste is so far the best performance she has given this season, but in Diplom acy, which is to follow For get-Me- Not, she is likely to have a role of more importance than any other she has attended so far. Mrs. Daly, the wife of Augustin Daly, is a familiar figure at first night perform ances, especially in the theatre which her husband manages, where she is accustomed to sit in the left band box with her family. Mre. Daly is the daughter of John Dufr, whose retirement from the management of the Standard Theatre has recently beon made public. She has a splendid home, furnished most elalsirately, a few blocks from the theatre, where she entertains largely, and is known among the Catholics as one of the most generous patronesses of all the charities connected with the church. Indeed, on this subject she is on enthusiast. Handsome Katie Stokes, large-eyed and black-hailed, who recently became the wife of John Stetson, after a coin t-ship that last fid a couple of years, now lives principally in Boston, which is the home of this popular ami enterprising manager. Katie Stokes, the maiden name of Mrs. Stetson, is the 'jaughter of old Mr. Stokes, who is now the treasurer of the Fifth Avenuo Theatre, but who in his timo was one of the most cele brated men connected with the circus pro fession. He ran many a circus of his own, and at times made huge sums of money. He was wise enough in the days of his prosper ity to teach his throe daughters the tech nique of the sawdust arena, and two of them at least became celebrated riders, the best known being Katie Stokes herself. She was a daring rider, and being youug, graceful and beautiful, attracted a larg: share of attention, so thut her salary at the time she retired bad become as much as $250 per week. It was doing one of her bareback feats that she was thrown violently from the horse while performing in Barnum’s circus, and severe injury was done to one of her legs. The doctors forbade her ab solutely from appearing any further in the circus unless she expected to be shortly compelled to have the injured limb am putated. This ended her career in that direction. She, then, naturally tunned to the stage for a living, and first appeared in the revi val that Mr. Stetson made of The Corsican Brothers at Booth’s Theatre, appearing in pne of the small parts. Probably the most important dramatic work she did was in Mr. Kellar’s play that “Mantell” starred in last season, and this led her up to the timo of the marriage, since which she has not appeared, and is not likely to. Those who know Mrs. S:etson describe her as a most kind-hearted, gentle and pleasant lady. At any rate, she lias done much to tone down the old-time exuberance of her husband, who has never looked bettor than since he entered the bonds of matrimony, a tiling he swore he never would do, another proof of hqw frail are the resolves of men when they moot tig) right woman. Mrs. Edward Harrigan is a charming woman, who takes infinite interest and gets “horribly” interested in the work of her hus band. We say “horribly,” for on first nights at Harrigan Theatre she works herself up | in to such a condition of nervousness that she becomes positively ill. This was her condition of mind on’the first night of Pete, rec utiy produced, and she watched for the great scenic effect that closes the third act in such a state of mind that she had to keen her nerves down by constantly pacing up ami down the office floor. This was while her husband was quietly going through his part in a satisfactory manner, and without any apparent trouble on his mind. Mrs. i Harrigan assists her husband quite import- I autly 111 bis dramatic work; tiiat is to say, [ she does the writing while he dictates, and very often aetJ as his critic, making sugges tions as he goes on that tell him when he is going on the wrong track. It is an excellent method to have such a critic, and the experience Mi's. Harrigan has enjoyed in this sort of work makes her quite able for the task. In appearance she is a slight brunette, piquant and pretty as to face, bright in conversation and intensely active. She and Mr. Harrigan have lei "a model life and a hard working one, for the demands of his business even call a husband away from the expensive summer home that he built a few years ago at Schroou Lake, in the Adirondacks. Indeed, this country home, upon which $3,500 had been exjieuded, remained vacant through Mr. Harrigan’s visit to California on a profes sional mission. Mrs. Mart Hanley is another of the pre siding female geniuses of this establishment. Her life has been anything but a pleasant one of late, for it is only recently that she came within a miracle of losing her popular husband, who manages the business end of the theatre. Indeed, so near was Mr. Han ley to death that when the priest came to perform the last sacrament of the Catholic Church ho at first refused to anoint on the ground that Mr. Hanley was dead, and at the time only one doctor out of the three present held out the idea that he was still living. It may well be imagined that such circumstances have contributed no little suffering on Mi's. Hanley’s part, though the joy of her husband's recovery must have re compensed for it all. Mr. Aronson, of the Casino, is still a young bachelor. Mr. T. Henry Freuch, of the Grand Opera House, is now a long time a widower, as is Mr. Josh Hart, of the Theatre Comique. Mr. Waliack and Mr. Moss of Waliack's Theatre, are a long time married, and the handsome family of Mrs. Moss are generally to lie seen on first nights at the various theatres. Gen. Bar ton, of the Bijou, has no wife; Mre. Dixey, of the same theatre, has recently figured in the Harlem fracas iu which Mr. Hilliard made such a hasty retreat, and Col. Miles keeps his wife in retirement at Cincinnati, where he owns too splendid a home to make a residence in New York at all de sirable. Mi's. Rosenquest, who is almost Still in her honeymoon, is tne handsome blonde wife of Manager J. W. Rosenquest, of the Fourteenth Street Theatre. She is also a great value to her husband in purely a business sense, and has the casting vote on all matters of policy in connection with the theatre. One is seldom seen without the other. ABOUT GOVERNESSES. American Mammas Do Not Treat Them Well Nor Pay Them Well. From Harper's Bazar. What is to be the future of the governess in America? She will never, as in England, belong to a permanent class, because th re are no permanent classes in this country, tried by the English standard; that is, per manence of social position in a family is here the exception and there the rule. Moreover, the greater prevalence of city and town life in the well-to-do-classes and the greater popularity of schools as com pared with home training, give an enormous outlet for those of our young people who wish to teach, so that educated girls are not obliged, as in England, to look to the position of governess as their main re source. The vast increase in the number of young women employed as clerks, bookkeepers, typewriters, etc., depletes still further the ranks of applicants. And yet, despite all this, the increase of numbers and wealth introduces more and more governesses into families. Sometimes they are especially needed through illness of the parent, some times because of country life, sometimes by reason of some peculiarity in the pupil, and often as a mere nit of social ambition. Our more democratic way of living makes their position in some ways more agreeable here than elsewhere, but also in some ways hard er; if they are less sharply discriminated from the family, they are also less discrimi nated from the household servants; and, on the whole, their status is at present rather anomalous and ill-defined. I knew of a governess in a New York family who lived absolutely alone in her rooms, except for the society of the child ren. She had all her meals sent to her and never entered the drawing-room unless called for. On the other hand, she was no more allowed to go below her position than to step above it, and her employer once re proved her quite severely for putting on a child’s overshoes, saying tha' this was the nurse’s business and she should have been summoned to do it. There is something al most inhuman in this castiron etiquette, but .it must be remembered that it has its uses like all rigid custom. If it represses the victim it also defends her and saves her from that jealousy on the part of cooks and chambermaids which is the worst annoyance of the American governess at the present stage of the institution. It is a curious fact that instead of rising steadily, like the wages of the kitchen, the compensation of the American governess has probably been reduced withiu the last twenty or thirty years. LED ON BY TRASHY NOVELS. Youthful Brigands In Cambridge. From the New York Tribune. Boston, Dec. 4.— The Cambridge police have broken up a dangerous gang of young robbers and thieves in that city who were banded together under the name of “White Wings Club.” The headquarters were in the cellar of a rum shop. They numbered about thirty, their ages ranging from 10 to 20 years. They received the incentive to organize as midnight marauders from trashy literature, and proved a terror to the law abiding citizens of North Cambridge, Ar lington, Belmont and Watertown. Under neath the cellar, reached by a trap door cunningly concealed, was a sort of cave or tunnel in which the articles the gang wished to hide were stored. Besides this club room or headquarters, the White Wings had places in the woods and swamps where they stored goods they had stolen, or where they could cook and devour anything they had picked up in a raid. At one of the resorts in the woods the officers found a pile of feathers large enough to fill two good sized bolsters, which represented probably 100 or 150 stolen chickens. In robbing a roast or orchard tho gang worked systemat ically, dividing their forces in order. Tile Inst big job was the robbing of a freightcar of about S.KtO in goods. Janies Fitzgerald, Charles Fclieks ami Felix Dcslan are be lieved'to be the leaders of the club and thay have boon locked flp. These three boy* were closely questioned by the officer*. They im plicated eighteen other boys, ranging in age from eleven to nineteen years. Warrants have been issued for the entire number. Malaria.
