If she has at all succeeded in her work the play will probably out-rank ‘ * A Parisian Romance’’ in suggestiveness, or “Camille” in un blushing dirtiness. His veto. —The Catholic bishop of Providence put his veto on theatre-going during Lent and all his people believe the best shows of the season were billed for that circuit during the forty days. Banks.—General Nathaniel P. Banks, a former Governor of Massachusetts, for many years in Congress and at one time Speaker of the House of Representatives, and a distinguished officer in the late war, was an actor at the old National Theatre, Boston, in his early days.

Bernhardt. —The Modern Argo is au thority for the following bulletin to myopic and bald-headed admirers of French Sal: Bernhardt is coming to this country and will render Shake spear’s plays in English. On the nights when Rosalind is on the bills front seats will be reserved for near sighted people. In Hamlet she will wear tights and play the ghost. GILBERT AND SULLIVAN’S IOLANTHE This new fairy Opera when produced in New York was so successful that the price was raised to two dollars and it is now in its fouth month crowding the house nightly at those prices. The Press and the admirers of Comic Operas claim that the best rendition of the Opera both in acting and singing is by the Ford Company. lolanthe will be presented for the first time in Atlanta at the Opera House, on Friday Evening, March 16 th, by Chas. E. Ford’s English Comic Opera Com- Bany8 any now numbering upwards of 40 peratic singers. Fine Arts. It is a well known fact that no city in this country has advanced with the mar velous rapidity of this city, that circum stance has had a tendency to draw to this great Southern centre various enter prises—both native and European. We now hear that Atlanta following the ex ample of all the leading cities is going to have a large and important exhibition of modern pictures. The collection as we understand it, has been gathered from all the principal exhibitions and studios of Europe by a well known conneseur, and after having been on exhibition a reasonable time, will be disposed of at public auction. Col. W. H. Fanning, the owner of this collection, is a Ken tuckian by birth, and has spent many years in the various art centres, of Eu rope, proposes to put the entire collec tion up at public auction, so that an art loving public can obtain these works to decorate their homes at their own prices. We heartily wish the enterprise all suc cess. ANNALS OF ATLANTA. Local Lines About Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness in the Gate City. A Peachtree street boy has named his father mustard; because he blisters so. The railroads of Georgia all gave re duced rates to all parties who desired to attend the funeral of Gov. Stephens. Flowers from all parts of Georgia were sent to Atlanta to be used in decorating the Capitol, on the occasion of Mr. Stephen's death. The Southern Express Co., with their usual generosity, trans ported them free, The public schools suspended exercises Thursday as a mark of respect to the memory of Gov. Stephens. The business houses of Atlanta were closed during the funeral services of Gov. Stephens 6n Thursday afternoon. Atlanta ought to have a Vennor to predict weather. We don’t have weath er any two days alike. The cold snap last week, gave early vegetables about a week backset. The drapery for the capitol building, the Senate and Hall of the Representa tives was furnished and put up by D. H. Dougherty, the great dry goods man of Atlanta. There has been an unusual number of visitors in the city this week. See advertisement of D. H. Dougherty iu another column. Mr. Dougherty has resorted to the cash system strictly, and is therefore able to sell goods cheaper than anyone. He keeps the best line of goods in the South. You can order your goods and get as good bargains as if you were in the store. Jack & Holland are going out of busi ness, and offer their immense stock at a sacrifice. For cash or good paper, you can lay in a stock of goods in their line cheaper than you can get them elsewhere, and of the very choicest brands and grades.

They were opposite Henry Grady’s residence and were bought by Messrs. Dickson and Willis Reagan. We haven’t heard whose accounts were sold at the great auction sale of the re tail grocers association. Did everybody pay up? The funeral obsequies of the late Gov ernor have absorbed everything else. Most all of the stores and public build ings were draped in mourning. The city presented a millitary look on last Thursday, with the number of com panies from all parts of Georgia. There is no truth in the rumors that the E. T., & V. R. R., is on the verge of insolvency. You can’t break a road that is as well officered and backed, as is this road. The business over their lines is increasing daily. The usual amount of dead beats and chicken thieves were arrested last week. Col. Ben Crane was re-elected pubic Commissioner. The council in this mat ter consulted the wishes of the people. A Counter Movement. The retail grocers of Atlanta have an association, in which they discuss the solvency of the consuming class, and at tend to other matters touching their business. One is to watch and report if any wholesale produce and commission merchants sell to consumers, and if caught, the members of the union agree not to buy any more goods from the of fending wholesale merchant. They have been pretty active and have made sev eral objections to sales made by the wholesale merchants. Last week the wholesale commission merchants orga nized them an association, and decided to keep a black list of retail grocery mer chants, who do not pay their accounts promptly, and who are in the habit of complaining and returning goods upon flimsey pretexts.
