HABHONY IN HEAVEN. The Grand Music That "Will Make the Future Life Delightful. THEMES FOR lllllNS OP GLORY. The New Son? of Triumph for the Hosts of the Redeemed. SIXGIJfG CHKISl'S TEAISE ON EAKTH jrTCTAL TrLKORAK TO THK niSrATCB.1 Brooklyn, September 7. Dr. Talmage's sermon for to-day is a glowing description of the melodies of the Celestial land. His text was (Rev. v.: 9) "And they sang a new song." Following is the sermon: Nearly all the cities of Europe and America have conservatories of music and associations, whose object it is, by voice anil instrument, to advance the art of sn eet sounds. On Thursday nights, Exeter Hall, of London. ued to re sound with the music of first-class performers, who cave their services Gratuitously to the masses, who came in with free tickets, and huzzaed at the entertainment. At Berlin, at 11 o'clock daily, the militar band, with 00 or 100 instruments., discourses at tho Itojal Opera House for the people. On Easter Sunday, in Dresden, the boom of cannon and the ringing of bells brinj: multitudes to the churches to listen to the organ peals and the exciting sounds of trumpet and drum. When the great fair-day ol Leipsic comes, the hands of music, from far and near, eathcr in the street and be wilder the ear with mws'ant playing of flute and horn, violin and basoon. At Dusseldorf. once a year, the lovers of music assemble and forthren or four days wait upon the great singing festivals, and shout at the close oi tho choruses, and greet tbe successful competitors as the prizes are distributed cups and vases of silver and gold. All our American cities at times resound with orchestra and oratorio. Those who can sine well or plav skillfully upon instruments are creeted with vociferation and garlanded by ex cited admirers. There are manv whose most ecstatic delisht is to be found In melodies: and all the splendor of celejti.il gates, and all the luciouness of 12 manner ot fruits, and all the rush of floods from under the throne ot God, would not make a heaven for them if there were no great and transuorting harmo nies. Passing along our streets in the hour of worship j on hear TUT. VOICE OF SACKED 3IELODY, although you do not enter the building. And passing along the street of heaven we hear, from the temple of God and the Lamb, the breaking forth of magnificent jubilate. We may not yet enter in among the favored throng, hut God will not deny us the pleasure of stand ing awhile on the outside to hear. John lis tened to it a great while ago. and "they sang a new song." Let none aspire to that blessed place w bo have no love for this exercise, for al though it is many ages since the thrones were set, and the harps were strung, there has been no cessation in the song, excepting once for about SO minutes; and. judging from the glori ous tilings now transpiring in God's world, and the ever-accumulating triumphs of the Mes siah, that was the last half hcurthat heaven will ever be silent. Mark the fact that this was a new song. Sometimes I have in church been floated away upon some great choral. In ulnch all our peo ple eemed to mingle their voices, and I have, in the glow of mv emotions, said, surely this is music good enough for heaven. Indeed I do not believe that "Luther's Hj mn," or "Coro nation.'' or "Old Hundred." or "-MountPisgab," would sound ill if spoken by sainted lips, or thrummed from seraphic harps: There are manv of our fathers and mothers in glory who would be slow to shut heaven's gate against these old-time harmonies. But this, we are tolci. is a new song. Srine of our greatest an thems and chorals are compositions from other tunes tbe sweetest parts of them gathered up into the harmony; and I have sometimes thought that this "new song" may be partly made up of sweet strains of earthly music mingled in eternal choral. But it will, after all. be a new song. This I do know, that in sweetness and power it will be something that ear never heard. All the skill of the oldest harpers of heaven will be Hung into it. All tho love of God's heart will ring from it In its cadences the floods will clap their hands, and it will drop with the sunlight of everlasting day, and breathe with odors from the blossoms of the tree of life. "A new song'" just made for heaven. ORIGIK Or GREAT HYMN'S. Many earthly songs are written by composers just tor the purposo of making a tunc; and the land is Hooded with note-bonks in which really valuable tunes aro the exception. But once in a while a man is wrought up by some great spectacle, or moved bv sumo terrible agony, or transported by some exquisite gladness, and be sits down to write a tune or a hymn, in which ctery note or every word is a spark dropped from the lorgc of his own burning emotions. So Mendelssohn wrote, and so Beethoven, and so Charles Weley. Cowper, depressed with misfortunes until" almost insane, resolved on suicide, and asked the cab-driver to take him to a certain place where he expected to destrov bis own life. The cab-driver lost his way, anil Cowper began to think of his sin, and went back to his home and sat down and wrote God Troves in a mjstenous way. His wonder 10 perioral: He plants his footsteps In the sea, And rides upon the storm. 1 fearful siints, frcMi courage take. The cloud jou so much dre-id Are big Willi meres, and shall break Inbtessinjrkoii ourhead. Mozart composed his own reqnicm, and said to his daughter Emily. "Play that;" and while Emily was playing the requiem. Mozart's sonl went up on the wave of his own music into giory. Emily looked around, and her father was "dead. Tins new song of heaven was not composed because heaven had nothing else to do. but Christ, in memory of cross and crown, of man ger ana throne, of earth aud heaven, and wrought upon by the raptures of the great eter nity, poured this Irom His heart, made it for the armies of heaven to shout in celebration of victory, lor worshipers to chant in their temple services, for the innumerable home circles of heaven to sing in the house of many mansions. t anew tone ne started in church, there lsonly here and there a person that can sing it. It is some time before the congregation learn a new tunc. But not so with the new song of heaven. The children who went up to-day from the waters of the Ganges are now singing it. That Christian man or woman, who, a few minutes ago, departed from this street has joined it. All know it those by the gates, those on the iner bank, those in the temple. Not feeling their way through it. or halting, or going back! as if they never before had sung it, but with a full round voice they throw their soul into this new song. It some Sabbath day a few notes of that anthem should travel down the air we r uld not sing it. Xo organ could roll its thun uei No harp could catch its trill. Ko lip could announce its sweetness. Transfixed, lo-t, enchanted, dumb, we could not hear it the faintest note of the new song. Yet, while I speak, heaven's cathedral quakes under it, and seas of glory bear it from beach to beach, and ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands oi mousanus sine it "tne new song." THE HEATENLY HT5ISS. Further: It is a commemorative song, we are distinctly told that it makes reference to past deliverances. Oh. how much they have to sing about. Tbey singof the darkness through which on earth they pass, and it is a night Fung. That one was killed at Yorktown, and witn him it is a battle song. That one was im prisoned forCnrist's sake, and with him it is a prison song. There was a Christian sailor boy that had liis back broken on the ship's hal varris, and w ith him it is a sailor's sons. That one burned at Smithfield, and with him it is a lire song. Oh! how they will sing of floods waded, f fires endured, of persecution suf fered, of grace extended! Song of hail! Song of sworu! nongof hot lad! songofaxe! As when the organ pipes peal out some great harmony, there tomes occasional!) the sound of the treinulante, weeping! through the cadences, adding t'xquisitencss to the performances so amid tile stupendous acclaim of the heavenly worshiiwrs shall come tremulously remem berances of past endurance, adding asueet i.ess aud glory to the triumphal strain. Ho the cloiilied mother will sing of the cradle that d a'h robii'd:and the enthroned spirit from the almshouse will .mgofa lifetime of want. .oilmay wipe away all tens, but not the memory of I lie gnef that started them! I uither: It will be an accompanied song. Some have a great prejudice against musical ins ruinents; and even among those who like Tbi-m there is an idea tii.u tliev are unauthor ized I loc the cjmlials. ror Israel clapped them in triumph at the Bed Sea. Hove the harp, for David struck it m praising the Lord. I love the trumpet, for we are told that It shall wake the dead. I love all stimged instruments and organ-,; lor (iod demands that we shall, praise Jlimou stringed instruments and or gans. 1 here is In such music much to suggest THE HIGHER WORSHIP; for I read that when He had taken the book, the four-aud-twenty ciders fell down before the Lamb, hating every one of them "harps," and "I heard the voice of the harpers harping with lueir harp." and i aw them that had gotten the victory from the iwast standing on the sea of glass, having the harps of God." Yes, the song is to be accompanied. You say that all this is figurative. TnenJ. gay, prove it, I do not know how mnch of it is literal, and how much of it is figurative. Who can say but that from some of the precious woods of earth andbcaven there mav not be made instruments or celestial accord? "In that worship David may take the harp, and Habakkuk the shigionoth; and when the great multitudes shall, following their own inclinations, take up instruments sweeter than Mozart ever fingered, or Schumann ever dreamed of, or Beethoven ever wrote for, let all heaven make readv for theburstof stupendous minstrelsy, and the roll of the eternal orches tra. Further: It will be an anticipatlve song. Why. my friends, heaven has hardly begun jet. It you had taken the opening piece of music to-day for the whole service, you would not have made so great a mistake as to suppose that heaven is fully inaugurated. Festal choruses on earth last only a short time. The famous musical convocation at Dusseldorf ended with the fourth day. Our holidavs last onlv cirrht or ten davs: but heaven, although singing for so manv years, has only just begun -the new song." "If the glorified inhabitants recount past deliverances, they will also en kindle at glories to come. If, at 9 o'clock, when tbe church opened, you had taken the few people who were scattered through it as the main andience. you would not hive made so great a mistake as If you supposed that tho present population of heaven are; to be its chief citizcuship. Although millions are al ready there, the inhabitants are only a handful compared with the future populations. TEOrLE YET TJNSAYED. All China is yet to be saved. All India is yet tobesaved. All Borneo is vettobesaved. All Switzerland is yet to be saved. All Italy is yet to be saved. All Spain is yet to be saved. All Russia is yet to be saved. All Franco is yet to be saved. All England is yet to be saved. All America is yet to be saved. Alt the world is yet to be saved. After that there may be other worlds to conquer. 1 du not know but that every star that glitters in our nights is an in habited world, and that from all those spheres a inightv host are to march into our heaven. JTnere will be no gate to keep them out. Wo do not want to keep them out. We will not want to keep them out. Goi will not want to keep them out. 1 have sometimes thought that all the mill ions of earth that go into glory are but a very small colony compared with the influx from the whole universe. God could build a heaven large enough not only for tho universe, but for 10,000 universes. I do not know just how it w ill be, but this I know, that heaven is t6 be constantly augmented, and that tho song of glory is rising higher and higher, and the pro cession is being multiplied. If heaven sang when Abel went up tbe first soul that ever eft earth for glory how must it sing now when souls go up in flocks from all Christen dom, hour by hour and moment by moment. Our happy gatherings on earth are chilled by the thought that soon we must separate. Thanksgiving and Christmas days come, and tbe rail trams flying thither are crowded. Glad reunions take place. We have a time of great enjoyment. But soon it is "goodby in the hall." "goodbj" at the door, "goodbv" on the street, "goodby" at the rail train, "goodby" at the steamboat wharf. We meet in church. It is good to be here. But soon the doxology will be sung, the benediction pronounced, and the audience will be gone. But there are no separa tions, no goodbys in heaven. KEW SOXGS ASD XEW JOYS. If the first day we enter heaven we sing well, the next day we sing better. Song anticipative of more light, more love, of more triumphs. Always something new to hear, something new to see. Many good people suppose that we shall see heaven the first day we get there. Not You cannot see London in two weeks. You cannot see Rome in six weeks. Y'ou cannot see Venice in a month. Y'ou cannot see tbe great city ot the New Jerusalem in a day. No; it will take all eternity to see heaven, to count the towers, to examine the trophies, to gaze upon the throne, to see tbe bierarebs. Ages on ages roll, and yet heaven is new! The streets new! The Temple new! The joy newl The song new! I stayed a week -at Niagara Falls, hoping thoroughly to understand and appreciate it. But on the last day they seemed newer and more incomprehensible than on the first day. Gazing on tbe infinite rush of celestial splen dors, where tbe oceans of delight meet, and pour themselves into the great heart of God how soon will we exhaust the sougl Never! Never! The old preachers, m describing tbe sorrows of tbe lost, used to lift up their hands ana shout. "The wrath to come!-' "The wrath to come!" To-day I lift up my hands, and looking toward the great future, cry. "The joy to come!" "The bliss to comer' Oh, to wander on the banks of the bright river, ana yet to feel that a little further down we shall find still brighter floods entering into it! Ob, to stand a thousand years, listening to the enchanting music of heaven, and then to find out that the harpers are only tuning their harp. Finally, I remark, that it will be a unanimous song. There will, no doubt, be some to lead, but all will be expected to join. It will be grand congregational singing. All the sweet voices of the redeemed ! Grand music it will be, when the new song arises. Luther sings it. Cnarles Wesley sings it. Lowell Mason sings it. Our voices now may be Uarsh and our ears uncultivated, but, our throats, cleared at last, and our capacities enlarged, you and I will not be ashamed to utter our voices as loudly as any of them. THE SWEETEST MELODIES. Those nations that have always been distin guished for their capacity in song will lift up their voices in that melody. Those who have had much opportunity to hear the Germans sing will know what idea 1 mean to give, when I say that tbe great German nation will pour their deep, full voices into the new song. Everybody knows the natural gift of the African lor singing. No singing on this conti nent like that of the colored churches in the South. Everybody going to Richmond or to Charleston wants to hear the Africans sing. But when not only Ethiopia, but all that conti nent of darkness, lifts up its bands, and all Africa pours her great volume of voice into the new song that will be music for you. Added to this are all the sixteen thousand millions of children that are estimated to have gone Into glory, and tbe host of j oung and old that here after shall people the earth and inhabit the stars. Oh! the new song! Gather it all uo! Multi ply It witti every sweetness! Pour into it every harmonj! Crown it with every gladness! Belt it with every splendor! God grant that at last we ma .- all sing it. But if we do not sing tho praise of Christ upon earth wo will never sing it in heaven. Be sure that yoor hearts are now attuned for the heavenly worship. There is a cathedral in Europe with an organ at each end. Organ answers organ, and tbe music waves backward and forward with indescriba ble effect. Well, my friends, the time will come when earth and heaven will be but differ ent parts of one great accord. It will be joy here and joy there! Jesus here and Jesus there! Trumpet to trumpet! Organ to organ! Hallelujah to hallelujah! "Until the day break and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Be.tuer!"

Some Facts of Interest About Alle gheny County's Garden. LIGHT CROPS REPORTED THIS TEAR The Island Will Soon Be Connected With the Main Land, BY BRIDGE AND ELECTRIC RAILROAD Office of Pittsburg Dispatcit. ? Satubdat. September 0, 1890. S The market reporter of The Dispatch was permitted to take a tour of Neville Island this week in company with one of the native gardeners. In the tour he learned a number of interesting facts which were entirely new to him, and doubtless will be to the majority of Dispatch readers. The upper end of this historic island is about six miles below the city. Its length is about six miles and width about one halt mile. There are close to 1,000 acres under cultivation as market gardens. The biggest floods have not overflowed more than one-fourth of the island. On the north side, where the homes of the gardeners are located, the ground stands high above the highest water mark. In order to cover this north side of the island the water must reach the second-story of the Diamond market build ing. There are now on the island over 60 garden farms ranging from 25 to 60 acres each. The population is close to 800. all of whom obtain their subsistence from gardening. In the olden time the island was lamous for its melons, which were pushed to our city on canoes. Those days have passed away, and now asparagus, tomatoes and early corn are the principal crops. It is within bounds to say that no other sec tion of the countrv of equal extent yields as much garden stun for our markets as Nevillo Island. Every evening a flatboat is pushed along the northern shore and gathers up the product of the various gardens, and when filled is towed by a steamer to the Allegheny wnarf at the foot of Fifth street, which is reached about midnight There waeons are in readi ness to haul tbe stuff to the Diamond markets. The Cost of Transportation to market, including hauling, is at this time of the year So per bushel. In the early spring the cost is 12c, owing to light shipments. In the height of the season the steamer tows as many as three loaded flatboats. or an amount equal to 2.000 bushels or more. Monday and Friday evenings aro the big days for shipments, but there is not an evening of the week at this season of the J'car. when the wharf of the Island is not lined with baskets of tomatoes, roasting cars and pumpkins waiting the arrival of the flatboat. On the return trips the flat boats are commonly loaded with manure for the enriching ot the island cardens. One of the cardeners reported that? he used from 400 to 500 waeon loads of manure annually on less than 30 acres at a cost of S300 to $400. The chief profit to the gardener is iu early stuff. Asparagus beds are measured by the acre, and the first fruits of this crop pay very handsome dividends. The first roasting ears and tomatoes also yield handsome returns, as Pittsburg is proverbially ready to catch on at high prices to home-raised vegetables which put in an early appearance. This season has been exceptional in the small amount of gar den uroducts. The early spring was too wet, and 'this being followed by very dry, hot weather, the soil became baked and the yield has been much below the average season. The tomato crop, which is one of the main stays of the island, is not above one-half its average this season. , Big Rise In Prlcrs. The, cool nights of late have prevented tomatoes from ripening and prices have doubled up in tbe past ten days. A gardener who found it bard to get rid of his tomatoes at 75c a bnsbel two weeks ago. reported to-day that he had now very few to sell, but could easily get $1 50 a busbel. There is no waste land on Neville Island. Scarcely a foot that is not arable. In tbe olden time, when it was owned by the Nevilles and Craigs, it was covered with very heavy timber, and tbe pioneers furnished the steamboats with the fuel which propelled tbem up and down the Ohio. A part of tbe log cabin which General Neville built on tbe upper end of the island, is now the kitchen of the liragdon family, who for more than half century have been gardeners there. Among tbe names which have beennrom inent for well on to a century are tbe Hamil tons. Coles and Cbaplins. Mrs. Bragdon, who spent her honeymoon on tbe island over a half century ago. is still an occupant of tbe old man sion where John Neville dwelt a half century earlier. The oldest resident is Mrs. Chaplin, who is connected by marriage with tbe Craigs, who. in the early times, were connected with the Nevilles. There are two churches on the island, a Presbyterian and a Methodist. Preach ers from the main land supply tbe pnlpits twice a month. Tho island has no store, no black smith shop, no physician or professional gentle man of any kind. When a borse is to be shod the blacksmith must be taken from the main land orthe horse taken over in a flat This diffi culty is expected soon to be overcome, as the bridge connectinz the island with the southern shore will be completed before winter. A New Thoroughfare, The present road is on the north side in front cf gardeners' bouses, extending the en tire length. This is frequently encroached on by the river. A new avenue will soon be opened up in the center of the island, tbe entire length, on which an electric railroad will be built con necting with the new bridge. Gardeners re port that freight cars will be attached, which in the near future will render them independent of the river for transportation of stuff. The writer will ever cherish pleasant mem ories of his trip over Neville Island as well as of the hearty hospitality of the gardeners there. A summer hotel on the upper end has been frequently talked of, and certainly no point in this neighborhood furnishes better fa cilities for a pleasant summer outing. LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

CHICAGO Wheat Quito a good business was transacted to-day, mostly on local accounts. The market opened firm and prices Jc higher than yesterday, sold off a trifle and then started up, advancing c, became weak and prices declined Ifilc, fluctuated somo and closed about 4c lower than yesterday. There no doubt was an effort on the part of operators who bought yesterday and before to get rid of somo of their whoat at tbe early advance, but others were not disposed to take this wheat, and as soon as they saw what was going on a sharp break followed, there being a more gen eral desire to sell. Some advices reported the Northwest as buying on account of bad weather there, others claimed tho Northwest had sold expecting more liberal receipts next week. Millers, it is said, sold here against their purchases of wheat up there. Corn was active but unsettled and fluctuating frequently within a 1c range. The influence on the market on the one side ws the favorable weather and the free selling of May by two large local operators, which had a depressing influence. On the other hand the apprehen sions of colder weather, a dispatch from St, Paul predicting a tall ot 18 to 30 degrees,and tho good buying for St. Louis account had a stimu lating effect to the market. First trades were at a slight advance, after which a decline of KC was reached, then declined c, and again ruled firmer and closed with &iic gain. Oats were quiet and rather easier, especially forMay, in which tbe bulk ot the business transpired. Prices for the last named month fluctuated freely within a range ot c, and closed a shaoo lower.

NEW YORK STOCKS, Intensely Dnll In Wnll Street Tnme and Heavy Opcnlnc Trunin Slnannnt DUnppolnment In the Bond and Sliver Parchaae. New York, September 6. The stock mar ket to-day was still intensely dull, and the mak ing of qnotations were ajaln given up to the bearish traders, who were inclined to go slow, however. The expectation was that the bank statement would show a further reduction in the surplus reserve, and the hope was not dis appointed, the deficit being now over a $1,000, 000. Tho opening was dull, tame and heavy, and first prices were generally from to per cent'lower than last night's figures, but the changes in the first hour were very slight and even the weak stocks showed no marked weak ness. Later.however, the pressure became stronger, and in Illinois Central. Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western, and Bnrlington and Qttincy material losses were sustained. Illinois Central became active and declined from 107 to 106; Burlington from 99 to 9 and Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western preferred from 107 to 106. The rest of the list followed, but the other changes still remained slight, and gener-' ally without significance. Even the Trusts were stagnant and showed no feature whatever. The market finally closed dull and heavy to weak at tbe lowest prices, which, in most cases, were only slight fractions under last nleht's figures. Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western pre ferred, however, is down 2 per cent, and Illinois Central and Burlington, after slight rallies, per cent each. Tbe Post says: There has also been disap pointment in regard to the effects of the bond and silver purchases of the Treasury in releas ing money. Those who have made elaborate calculations npon the figures of the monthly statement of the Treasury claim that all the silver purchases so far have only put $1,300,000 of tbe new Treasury notes into circulation, partly because tbe new notes are issued in de nominations too large for use; also that all the bond purchases in August to the amount of over 530,000,000 only resulted in tbe actual dis bursement of about $21,000,000 up to August 31, and finally that the net addition to tbe circu lating capital of the country from these dis bursements in August was only a little over $5,000,000. Tbe imports at tbe port of New York have fallen off very greatly in August, bnt the Treasury is still an absorber of money.

(Stock trading during tho week was of tbe usual porfunctory sort, sales being compara tively few and far between. Brokers showed their philosophy, however, by keeping in good spirits and hoping for a speedy turn in the tide. Such perseverance deserves reward. As compared with the close of the previous Saturday tbe finish showed improvements in Philadelphia Gas, Central Traction, Citizens' Traction and Switch aud Signal, and declines In Pleasant Valley. New York and Cleveland Oas Coal, Luster, Electric and Airbrake, all for fractions except New York and Cleveland Gas Coal, which dropped three points. The bank list was pretty well covered, but there were no trades. These stocks arc seldom dealt in on '(.hinge, but the quotations made there are accepted by investors, who pick up a large amount of them in a quiet wav. Sales were 25 shares ot Luster at 26, I Switch and Signal at 17, and 200 Electric scrip at SO. Plenty of )t to Keep Things Moving Trade in Good Shape. Bank clearings last week were S13.914.773 86, against $11,236,310 01 fcr the same period last year, showing a difference of nearly $3,000,000 on the right side of the account. The gain of 1S90 over 1889 to date is considerably over S100,- 000.000. The Clearine House report snows: Saturday's exchanges s 2,389.0,0 75 Saturday's balances 188.676 07 Week's exchanges 13,914.773 86 Week's balances 1.914.231 07 Prerlons week's exchanges 14,613.831 73 Exchanges week of 1SS9 11,236,310 01 Money was easy Saturday, with a moderate demand.

The rise which was counted on by tho old river "sharks" turned up yesterday after noon, and elevated tho Menongahela about three leer. During the morning the wickets were dropped, and several boats came in onthe rise. Four boats went down after empties, and expect to come back during the week. The rise is expected to last three or four days at least, and considerable business will be done in that time. No coal will be sent ont unless the water rises considerably higher tban it did yes terday. The Cincinnati packet boat arrived, as announced yesterday, and will take out the first carload of Jcannette glass to Cincinnati to-day, where it is to be sent on to New Orleans on the Ohio and Mississippi Transportation Line.

It transpires that the Eastern banking houses are still unwilling to advance money oa the new uniform bill of lading, and many of them firmly refuse to accept it as collateral for drafts notwithstanding the elimination of the non negotiable provision. The reason foMthis is that its value as security is greatly impaired by other provisions, particularly the one which is designed to release the railroads from any liability for damage or loss of property during transportation. 'When the old form wa3 in use the bankers knew that if the property which the paper represented was destroyed in transit, the shipper could recover from the carrier and thus meet his obligations, but tbe new form Is especially intended to transfer this responsibility Irom the carrier to the shipper, and leave tbe lat ter to take all risks. If anything were needed to complete the defeat of the new bill of lading, this atti tude of the banks would certainly be the finishing blow. Cloied Tor n Week. Owing to an unfortunate combination of circumstances, the Clipper Theater, which opened so successfully last week, will be obliged to remain closed this week, but the management expects to reopen the doors next week, with a full line of first-class at tractions. The company engaged for the present week has stranded, and the manage ment received the word too late to fill the date.
