I ESTABLISHED 1850. ) } J. H. ESTILL, Editor aud Proprietor, f CUBA'S REIGN OF TERROR HAVANA ALREADY IN CHARGE OF REGULAR TROOPS. An Expectation That the City Will be Declared in a State of Siege-Livea Already Loot in Conflicts Between the Soldiers and the Civilians. New Orleans, Aug. 28.—A special to the IHcayune from Key West, Fla., says: Ad vices received here iast night state that the greatest excitement prevails in Havana, occasioned by the recent acts of Captain General Marin in taking possession of the custom house and placing officials under arrest. The city is in charge of regular troops and the situation becomes daily more des perate, recalling the events attending the massacre of the medical students in 1871. A REION OF TERROR. A reign of terror prevails, and it is ex pected that Havana will be declared in a state of siege. Already several conflicts have occurred between troops and civilians, resulting in the killing of some and the wounding of others. Captain General Marin has issued a proc lamation calling ou the rioters to maintain order, and warning them that otherwise so vtre measures will be adopted to uphold the law. A GENERAL UPRISING IMMINENT. Daily conferences are held with his mili tary chiefs, and measures have been adopted to prevent a general uprising, which is im minent. The Colonels of all the volunteer regi ments were called together at the plaza and ordered to disarm their forces, and that otherwise they would be held responsible for wbat might occur. The volunteers, who are opposed to Cupt. Gen. Marin, and are encouraged therein by political bodies de sirous of Bis removal, have joined the riot ers. “DOWN WITH MARIN.” Several meetings have been held in the park where cheers of “Viva Salamanca” were given, and cries of “Down with Marin.” The city is placarded with a call for a gen eral mass meeting at the park to-night, and requesting all to bring arms. The call is believed to have emanated from the volunteers, and serious trouble is expected. So far the Captain General con trols the situation w ith the regular troops, which liave been distributed throughout the city prepared for any emergency. ARTILLERY IN POSITION. Artillery has been placed in commanding positions, while the troops stationed in towns adjoining Havana are kept under arms ready to move qt a moment’s notice. Those in Havana also have been quartered in their barracks for several days. The bat talion of Isabel Kequeda and the forces of the Queen’s regiment are under arms at Gaisinas and Castilla Del Principe. A company of artillery is at the armory on Campanelia street. ' Orderlies are hurrying in all direc tions conveying secret orders. BULGARIA READY TO PAY. The Porte Offered £150,000 on Ac count of the Present Debt. Constantinople, Aug. 528. —M. Volko vitch, the Bulgarian representative here, has informed the Porte that the Bulgarian government is rendy to pay £150,000 on ac count, and to negotiate for the remainder of the Roumelian tribute and contribution to the Turkish debt charge. Baron Blanc, the Italian Ambassador here, had a private interview with the Sultan yesterday. It is reported that he urgod the Sultan to sanc tion the appointment of Prince Ferdinand as Prince of Bulgaria and thus terminate the crisis. Englund and Austria support Italy in this policy. RUSSIA'S DETERMINATION. Berlin, Aug. 28.—1 t is rumored here that Russia has decided to take independent action in Bulgaria, and to send a Governor there unless Turkey intervenes quickly and puts all end to the crisis. According to a published interview Prince Ferdinand com plains bitterly that he is now in a difficult position, 1 icing deserted by those who ad vised him to go to Bulgaria. NOT TO BE COERCED. Sofia, Aug. '2B.—M. Tontcheff, in an in terview to-day, said he believed that no co ercion woulcf be employed against Bul garia. EVICTION THE ONLY CRIME. Michael Davitt Warns the Tories of the Danger of Their Course. Dublin, Aug. 28.—Michael Davitt ad dressed the Bray branch of the league to day. He said that the only course preva lent in Ireland was eviction. If England imprisoned men for resisting the in justice of landlordism and exercising the right of free speech the country would be steeped to the lips in crime during the coming winter. They would continue to boycott sneaking thieves and land grabbers, but before two years hail passed the necessi ty for agitating and lioycotting would be over. Tlie Premier of Ontario is making a tour of Ulster for the purpose of inquiring iuto the condition of the people. IN HONOR OF MR. COLLINS. Boston, Aug. 28. —A reception, under the auspices or tho Municipal Council of the Irish National League, was tendered Hon. Patrick A. Collins in the Boston The atre to-night.

Denver, Col., Aug. 28.—The Republi can's special from Camp Adams states that Lieut. Leslie and his escort have gone to the reservation to demand the body of Colorow and the two iNdians wanted for horse steal ing. Sheriff Kendall says he will have the Indians at all hazards. It is be lieved by some that all the ITtes have not returned to the reservation. A small band may have done so in order to throw the trooiis off the trail, while the rest of the band fortify themselves in the moun tains and lay in a supply of provisions for a long engagement. NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION. The Ute war situation, as far as can be learned, is unchanged. Since yesterday word lias been received that (100 Uutes are camped near Thursday’s battlefield and are held back by two companies of colored regulars. It is known that the Indians that took Part in the fight were true Utes, White river. Uintah Utes and Un compahgres, and that if necessary 1,000 re inforcements can be raised from this tribe. The Uncompahgre Indians are a very hot headed race, and if any of their people were killed Thursday it is feared the entire tribe will take the matter up and precipitate the State into a long and bloody war. If the Indlatisido not attack the whites at Rangley before the arrival of Gov. Adams and Gen. Cook to-morrow, there are hopes that the trouble will be settled. Lieut. Folsom, of Aspen, who was wounded seriously during the engagement died Friday morning. BURNED WITH SIXTEEN HORSES. Long Island City the Scene of Another Big Fire. Long Island City, N.

Referring to the action of the Syracuse convention in expelling the Socialists, Mr. Wilder said: “Socialism worship at the altar of an everlasting lie and kills liberty, individualism and life. In turning the So cialists out of their pnrty the labor men have turned out falseness. The united labor party is not one of revolution. It is step ping” back to where Jefferson stood—to the stand of Abraham Lincoln. It is stopping back to where every hero has stood since the beginning of time—to the inalienable right of freedom and the law of the land for the people.” PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCES.

He was One of the Deepest Thinkers of the Georgia Bar. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28. —Judge Samuel Hall of the State Supreme Court who has been at the point of death for several weeks, died at midnight Inst night at his summer residence at Mount Airy. He was sur rounded by his family. Judge Hall, says a writer in the Consti tution who lately furnished a sketch of him, was a son of Dr. Hall, who emigrated to Georgia from North Carolina originally, but who previous to his arrival in the State was for a short time a resident of the “Pal metto State.” Dr. Hall was an intelligent man, and was from a family famous for its intelligence, learning and culture. He set tled in Knoxville, Crawford county, where his family was reared. Possessed of large property he was able to give his children every advantage, and ns soon os the boy was old enough for college training, Samuel Hall, the subject of this sketch, was sent to the University of Georgia, at Athens. Ha was well prepared when he entered the university, ana though he graduated with a class (of 1841) that was composed of such material as Thomas R. R. Cobb, Lu ther J. Glenn, the LeContes, Joseph and Louis, he stood along with the very best at the very top of the class roll. At Athens he was a member of the Demosthenian Society, in which arena so many illustrious Geor fians and Southcrnei-s learned how to do ate. His portrait adorns the walls of that society to-day, and his memory there will be long treasured. Reading law, he settled in Knoxville, where he practiced for a few years with his brother, It. B. Hall, one of the most remark able and promising young men of his day in Georgia, but who unfortunately died lie fore he was 30. In the first settlement of Oglethorpe, in Macon county, Sam Hall moved there and formed a copartnership with Stephen F. Miller, author of the “Bench and Bar of Georgia.” In a few years he removed to Macon, where he formed a second partnership with his broth er, R. B. Hall. During this time Samuel Hall was elected Solicitor General of the Macon circuit, which office he filled with ability and to the satisfaction of the people. Removing thence to Fort Valley, he prac ticed law there for some years. During his residence in Fort Valley he was seized with some sort of an attack, very much similar to the one that attacked him a short time ago, which he never entirely recovered from and which left one arm and hand almost entirely useless. Returning to Macon ho resumed the prac tice of law, with Hon. Washington Poe as a partner, and this partnership continued un til J. *H. Hall, his son, was graduated from the University of Georgia, when father and son became partners. This partnership lasted until November, 1882, when tho Gen eral Assembly elected him as Associate Jus tice of the Supreme Court for six years, be ginning Jan. t 1888. Judge Hall has been married but once. His wife w-as a Miss Ashe, a daughter of the celebrated North Carolina family of that name. He leaves six or seven children, all of whom have arrived at man’s estate. In addition to his office as Associate Justice Judge Hall was a trustee of tho University of Georgia. A year ago he was also elected a trustee of the University of tho (South, lo cated at Sewiineo, Tenn. Asa lawyer, Judge Hall was noted for painstaking, diligent, careful research. He was, perhaps, better read in the law- and the current literature of the profession than any man in the State. He was an encyclo paedia of facts, decisions, and principles, and his decisions as they appear in the Georgia reports are, perhaps, the most care fully prepared of any to be found within the w-hole series of reports. “A child in regard to business, he does not take the trouble to collect his own fees,” said an intimate friend of the Judge. When given a case he at once applied him self to the study of the law and tho facts, never for one moment considering fees. Hence it is that while his profession enabled him to live in ease and comfort, a lack of business knowledge prevented him from be coming rich. MISCEGENATION. A White Girl of Well-to-do Parents In a Cell. Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 28.—Susie Dunning, a 20-years-old white girl, was locked up at the station to-night with her 2-weeks-old infant. She says that tho father of the child is a negro named Arthur Strickland, who worked on tho farm of her widowed mother five miles from Atlanta. The Dunnings are well off, owning a good farm and valuable city prop erty. The girl is decidedly good looking, and does not seem to realize the depth of her degradation. She hus a country shool edu cation. When Strickland is caught I Kith will lie prosecuted. He is a brown-skinned negro, and has left for parts unknown. shot in the stomach. Louis Loud (white) shot himself aoci centally in the stomach at, the Salvation Army mooting to-night. The wound is not dangerous. He was changing his little derringer from one pocket to another. DECATUR’S RIOT. Burial of the Marshal—Tho Murderer Located. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28.—The disorder in Decatur yesterday was not in any sense a conflict between the races. A drunken ne gro disturbed a religious meeting and sev eral colored toughs resisted arrest. In the melee the fatal shots were fired and the whites liecame very much excited, but so far ns yet appears without cause. Torn Chi vein, one of the wounded men, will re cover. Marshal Hurst was buried to-day. His murderer, Jake Pritchai-d, had not In—n ap prehended tip to midnight. A telephone message from Decatur savs that lie Inis been located at the Giles farm, two miles from Decatur, and a posse has just gone out to capture him. COLOR LINES AT PABLO. Three Negro Companies to Arrive on the Scene To-Day. Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 28.—T0-day has lieen very quietly sfient at the camp at Pablo, on account of rain. The soldiers hardly left their tents. (Slight excitement was caused this afternoon by a fight l*> tween a negro and one of the soldiers, which resulted all in negroes lieing run out of one of the pavilions on the beach, which is a favorite resort. There is dissatisfaction in the camp nwiug to the order of the Governor, that the men remain within the linos to-morrow. On ac count of three negro companies coming down it was feared trouble might ensue, and hence the order. To-morrow the Santa Rosa Rifles and Escamldas will hreuk camp and return hone-. The balance of the trooos will leave Tuesilay morning. The camp, so far, has been a great success. Another Shock at Augusta. Augusta. Ga., Aug. 28.—A slight shock of earthquake was felt hero about 10:30 o'clock to-night. WOMAN'S OPPORTUNITY. MALE AND FEMALE MADE FOR A SPECIFIC WORK. Each Has a Sphere In Which to be Regnant-Rev. Talmage Puts Him self on Record as Against Femininity that Aspires to Pants—Home the Kingdom Woman Should Rule. The Hamptons, Aug. 28.—“ Woman’s Opportunity” was the subject of discourse by the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., to day; and his text, “So God created man in His own image, the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.” —Genesis i, 27. Following is tho sermon in full: In other words, God, who can make no mistake, made man and woman for a spe cific work, and to move in particular spheres—man tolie regnant in his realm; woman to lie dominant in hers. The bound ary line bet.weeu Italy and Switzerland, lie tween England and Scotland, is not more thoroughly marked than this distinction between the empire masculine and the em pire feminine. So entirely dissimilar are the fields to which Gcal called them, that you can no more compare them than you can oxygen and hydrogen, water and grass, trees and stars. All this talk about the superiority of one sex to the other sex is an everlasting waste of ink and speech. A jeweler may have a scale so delicate t hat he can weigh the dust of diamonds; but where are the scales so delicate that you can weigh in them affection against affection, sentiment against sentiment, thought against thought, soul against soul, a man's world against a woman's world l You come out with your stereotyped remark, the man is superior to woman in intellect; and then I open on my desk the swarthy, iron-typed, thun darholted writings of Harriet Mar tineau, and Elizabeth Browning, and George Eliot. You come on with your stereotyped remark about wom an’s superiority to man in tha item of af fection; but I ask you where was there more capacity to love than in John the disciple, and in Robert McCheyna, the Scotchman, and John Summeriield, the Methodist, and Henry Martin, the missionary) Tiie heart of those men was so large, that, after you had rolled into it two hemispheres, there was room still left to marslial the hosts of heaven, and set up the throne of the eternal Jehovah. I deny to man the throne intel lectual. I deny to woman the throne affoc tional. No human phraseology will ever define the spheres, while there is an intui tion by which we know when a man is in his realm, and when a woman is in her realm, and when either of them is out of it. No bungling Legislature ought to attempt to make a definition, or to say: “This is the line and that is,the line." My theory is tliat if a woman wants to vote, she ought to vote, and that if a man wants to embroider and keep house, he ought to be allowed to embroider and keep house. There are masculine women and there are effeminate men. My tlioory is, that you have no right to inter fere with anyone’s doing anything that is righteous. Albany and Washington might as well decree by legislation how high a brown-thrasher should fly, or how deep a trout should plunge, as to seek out the height or the depth of woman’s duty. Tho question of capacity will settle finally the whole question, the whole subject. When a woman is prepared to preach, she will preach, and neither Conference nor Presby tery can hinder her. When a woman is prepared to move in highest commercial Miheres, she will have grout influence on the Exchange, and no boards of trade can binder her. I want woman to understand that heart and brain can overfly any bar rier that politicians may set up, and that nothing can keep her back, or keep her down, but the question of incapacity. There are women, I know, or most unde sirable nature, who wander up und down the country —haviug no homes of their own, or forsaking their own homes—talking about their rights; and we know very well that they tHrmselves are (it neither to vote, nor fit to keep house. Their mission seems to be to humiliate the two sexes at tho thought of what any one of us might be come No one would want to live under the laws that such women would enact, or to have cast upon society the children that such women would rear. But I shall show you this mbrnlng that the best rights that women can own, the already lias m her pos session ; that her position in tins country at this time is notone of commiseration, but one of congratulation: that, the grandeur and power of her realm have never yet been appreciated; that siie sits to-day on a throne so high that all the thrones of earili piled on top of each other would not make for her a footstool. Here is the platform on which she stands. Away down below it are the ballot-box and the Con gressional assemblage and the legislative hall. Woman always has voted and always will vote. Our great grandfathers thought they were by their votes putting Washing ton into the Presidential chair. No. His mother, by the principles she taught hi ft], and by the habits she inculcated, made him President. It was a Christian mother’s hand dropping the ballot when Lord Bacon wrote, and Newton philosophized, and Alfred the Great governed, and Jonathan Edwards thundered of judgment to come. How many men there have been in high political station, who would have been in sufficient to stand the test to which their moral principle was put, had it not been for a wife's voice that encouraged them to do right, and a wife’s prayer that souhdisl louder than the clamor of partisanship! Why, my friends, the right or suffrage, as we men exercise it, seems to boa feeble tiling. You, a Christian man, coine up to the ballot-lxix and you drop your vote. Right after you comes a libertine, or a sot - the offscouring of the street—and he dropa his vote; and his vote counteracts yours. But if in the quiet, of homo life a daughter by her Christian demeanor, a wife by her industry, a mother by her faith fulness, casts a vote in the right direction, then nothing can rcsisL it, and the influence of tii&t vote will throb through the eterni ties. My chief anxiety then is, not that woman have other rights accorded her, but that •die, by the grace of God, rise up to tho ap preciation of the glorious rights she already possesses. This morning I shall only have time to speak of one grand and all-absorb ing right that every woman has, and that in to make home happy. That realm no one has ever disputed with her. Men may come nt noon or ut night, and they tarry a comparatively Little while; but she, all (lay long, governs it, licautifies it, sanctifies it. It is within her power to make It tha most attractive place <>n earth. It is the only calm hartsir in this world. You know as well as Ido that this outeidn world und tho business world, is a long scene of jostle and contention. The man who has a dollar Struggles to keep it; the man who lias it not struggles to get It. Prices up. Prices down. I/isses, Gains. Mis representations. Gougings. Undersell ing. Buy ere depreciating; salesmen exaggerating. Tenants seeking less rent; landlords demanding more, (fold fidgety. Struggles about office. Men who who are trying to keep in; men out trying to get In. Blips. Tumbles. Defalcations. Panics. Catantiophee. Oh. woman, thank God you have a home, and that, vou may bo queen in it. Better lie there than wear Vic toria’s coronet. Better lie there than carry the purse of a princess. Your abode may lie bumble, but you can, by your faith in God and your cheerfullness of demeanor, gild it with splendors such as an upholsterer's hand never vet kindled. There are uI sides in the city—humble, two stories; four plain ulipapcred rooms; undesirable neighbor hood; and yet there is a man here this morn ing who would die on that threshold rather than surrender it. Wl:v I It is home. Whenever he thinks of it he sees angels of God hovering around it. The ladders of heaven are let down to that house. Over the child’s rough crib there are the chanting* of angels as those that broke over Bethlehem. It is home. These chil dren may came up after awhile, and they may win high position, und they may have an affluent residence; but tliey will not until their dying day forget that humble roof, under which their father rested, and their mother sung, and their sisters played. O, if you would gather up all tender memories, all the lights aud shades of the heart, all banquetings and reunions, all filial, fra ternal, paternal, and conjugal affections, and you had only just four letters with which to spell out that height and depth, and length, and breadth, ainl magnitude, and eternity of meaning, you would, with streaming eyes, and trembling voice, and agitated hand, write it out in those four liv ing capitals, H-O-M-E. What right does woman want that is grander than to bo queen in such a real ml Why, the eagles of heaven cannot fly across that dominion. Horses, pAnting and with lathered Hanks, are not swift enough to run to the outpost of that realm. They say that the sun never sets upon the English empire; but I have to tell you that on this realm of woman’s influence eternity never marks any bound, lsnliollu tied from the Spanish throne, pursued by the nation’s anathema; but she who is queen in u home will never lose her throne, and death itself will only lie tho annexation of honvenly principal! ties. When you want to get your grandest idea of a queen, you do not think of Catharine of Russia, or of Anne of England, or Marie Theresa of Germany; but when you wantto get your grandest idea of a queen, you think of the plain woman who sat opposite your father at the table, or walked with him arm in arm down life's pathway; sometimes to the thanksgiving banquet, some times to tho grave, but aiwuys together—soothing your jietty griefs, correcting your childish way wardness, joining in your infantile sports, listening to your evening prayers, toiling for you with needle, or at the spinning wheel, and on cold nights wrapping you up snug and warm. And then at last on that day when she, lay in tho back room dying, and you saw her tako those thin bands with which she toiled for you so long, and put them together in a dying prayer that com mended you to tho Odd whom she had taught you to trust—O, she was the queen! Tho chariots of God came down to fetch her; and as she went in, all heaven rose up. You cannot think of her now without a rush of tenderness that stirs the deep foundations of your soul, and you feel a* much a child again us when you cried on iier lap; and if you could bring her back again to s)>eak just once more your name, as tenderly us she used to speak it, you would lie willing to throw yourself ou tho ground and kiss the sod that covers her, crying: “Mother! mother!” Ah! she was the queen —she was tho queen. Now, can you tell me how many thousand miles a wo man like that would nave to travel down Lief ore she got to the ballot Iiox? Compared with this work of training kings and queens for God and eternity, how insignificant seems all this work of voting for aldermen and common councilman and sheriffs, and constables, and mayors, and presidents. Ti > make one such grand woman as I have described how many thousands would you want of those people who go in the round of godlessness, and fashion, and dissipation, distorting their body until in their monstrosities they seem to outdo the dromedary and hinpoi>otanius! going as far toward disgraceful apparel as they dare go, so ns not to bo arrested of tho jioiiee—their liehaviour a sorrow to tho good and a cari cature of the vicious, and an insult to that God who made them women and not gor gons; and tramping on, down through a frivolous and dissipated life, to temporal and eternal damnation. O woman, with the lightning of your soul, strike dead at your feet all these al lnremonts to dissipation and to fashion. Your inunortul soul cannot be fed iqsin such garbage. God calls you up to empire and dominion. Will you have it t O, give to God your heart; give to God your best energies: give to God all your culture; give to God all your refinement; give yourself to Him, for this world and the next. Boon all these bright eves will be quenched, and these voices will lie hushed. For tho last time you will look upon tins fair earth. Father’s hand. mother’s hand, sis ter’s hand, child’s hand will be no more in yours. It will Lie night, and there will come up a cold wind from the Jordan, and you must start. Will it be a lone woman on a trackless moor! Ah! no. Jesus will come up In that hour and offer His hand, and He will say: “You stood by Mo when you were well; now I will not desert you when you are sick.” One wave of His hand and the storm will drop; and another wave of His hand and midnight shall break into niidnoon; and another wave of His hand and the chamberlain*of Godwill comedown from the treasure-houses of heaven, with robes lustrous, blood-washed, and heaven-glinted, in which you will array yourself for the marriage supper of the And then with Miriam, who struck the timbrel of the lted Boa; and with Deborah, who led the Lord’s host Into the fight; ami with Hnmiali, who gave her Baimiel to the Lord; and with M/iryi who rocked Jesus to sleep while there were angels singing in the air; and with Florence Nightingale, who Liound up the buttle-wounds of the Crimea, you will from the chalice of God drink to the soul’s eternal rescue. One twilight, after I had been playing with the children for some time, I laid down on the lounge to rest. The children said play more. Children always want to play more. And, half asleep and half awuke, I seemed to dream this dream: It seemed to me that I was in a far distant land—not l’erxia, although more than oriental luxu riance crowned the cities; nor the tropics, although more than tropical fruitfulness filled the gardens; nor Italy, although more than Italian softness filled the afr. And I wandered around, looking for thorns and nettles, but I found none of them grew there. And I walked forth and I saw the sun rise, and I said: “IVhen will it set again:” and tho sun sank not. And 1 saw all the jieople in holiday upiiarel, and 1 said: “When will they put, on working-man’s garb again, and delve in the mine, and swelter at the forge:” but neither tiro garments nor the ratios did they put off. And I wandered in the suburbs, and I said: ‘‘Where do they bury the dead of this great city ?" and I looked along by the hills where it would lift must, lsuiutiful for tlie dead to sleep, mid I saw castles, and towns, and battlement*; but not a mauso leum, nor monument, nor white slab could I see. And I went into the great chapel of the town, and I said: “Where do the poor worship? where are the lieneUes on which they sit?” and a voice answered: “We have no poor in this great city." And I wander ed out. seeking to find the place where were tlie hovels of the destitute: and 1 found mansions of amber, and ivory, and cold, but no tear did I see, or sigh hear. I was bewildered; and I sat under the shadow of a great tree, and I said: “What am I, aud whence comes all this? And at. that moment there came from among the leaves, skipping up the flowery paths and across the siiark ling waters, a very bright aud sparkling group; and when 1 saw their step 1 knew it, and when I heard their voices I thought I know thorn; but their apparel was so dif ferent from anything I laid over seen, 1 bowed, stranger to straugors. But after awhile, when they clapped their hands and shouted, “Welcome! welcomeP’ the mystery was solved, and I saw that time had passed, and that eternity had come, and that God had gathered us up into a higher home; and I said: “Are we all here?” and the voices of innumerable generations answered: ‘.‘All here;” and while tears of gladness were raining down our cheeks, anil the branches of the Lebanon cedars were chipping their hands, and the towers of the groat city wore chiming their welcome, wo begun to laugh, and sing, and leap, ami shout: "liome! Home! Home!” Then I felt n child's hand on my face, and it woke me. Tho children wanted to play more. Children always want to play more. GRACE HAWTHORNE IN LONDON. A Young- American Girl’s Success as a Theatrical Manager. New York, Aug. 27.-— Miss Grace Haw thorne, the young American dramatic art iste who is astonishing London by her bold managerial ventures, is a delicate blonde, with large, soft gray eyes, slender figure aud a voice at once melodious and powerful. Her dramatic career extends over only some five seasons, anil has been passed in the West and on the Pacific coast. Tho success she won before the critical audiences of San Francisco was achieved by dint of pure in tuitive genius, for she had never seen any of the great actresses of the contemporaneous stage; her personations, therefore, hail the merit of entire originality. Circumstances not offering tier a histrionic hearing in New York at the time she desired, she determined to make her London debut prior to that in the great metropolis of America. Totally inexperienced in managerial affairs, she ar rived in London, and hearing that the Olympic Theatre was for rent she impetu ously took a lease of it without even having seen tho inside of the premises. A lugubri ous experience awaited her. As she was moving in she met the ex-lessee, Mrs. Con over (another American lady), moving out. The latter faithfully recounted to the hor rifl il former the total lack of success which had attended her management of the Olympic, resulting in a loss of $50,000. The young actress wns naturally almost dis heartened by the account of tho misfortunes which her prislwessor had encountered, Imt summoned all iter courage and made the 1 >cst of tho situation. She appeared in some of her favorite roles before tho London public, and her sympathetic voice and deli cate lieauty won her great admiration at once. She was universally conceded to show signs of tho possession of great genius, even if as yet she lacked tho technical ability to carry out, to the fullest degree, her best histrionic conceptions. Having thus ol>- tumod a suitable dramatic hearing, Miss Hawthorne was not unwilling, when op jKirtuiiity offered, to resign the (ease of the hitherto unfortunate Olympic Theatro, and was able to transfer her proprietorship to Miss Agnes Hewitt, an English actress, whose dramatic career has hitherto been much associated with that of the lute Mr. Sotbern. A holder venture than the first was now decided on by Miss Hawthorne. By a skill ful but honorable business movement, she obtained the leseeeehip of the Princess, thus leaving the powerful melodramatic actor, Mr. Wilson Barrett, without a theatre iu London. Kho holds a stx years lease of this historic playhouse, and it is believed by those who understand theatrical manage ment in London that Miss Hawthorne isj scsses the exart qualities which are requisite to make a success of this important enter prise. Young, good, pretty and "smart,” the hearts of Americans are with her in her various ventures, and in Miss Hawthorne’s success Americans in London hope to show an offset for Mrs. Brown-PoLter’s failure.

An Excess Over the Normal Rainfall Reported in Most Parts of the Coun try—A Reduction Expected in tha Yield of Corn—The Cotton Crop Shorter Than Was Expected. VVashington, Aug. 28.—Following is tha weather crop bulletin of the signal office for the week ending Aug. 27: “During the week ending Aug. 27 the weather has been unusually cold in the central valleys and lake region, and slightly colder in all tha States on the Atlantic coast, except Florida and Southern Georgia. In the corn region the daily average temperature range.! from 8* to 12’ l>elow the normal, and in the cotton and tobacco regions the dally temperature was from 8’ to 5° colder than usual. The daily average temperature fbr the season from Jiui. 1 to Aug. 27 differ* less than 1* from the normal in all the dis tricts except from the lower Missouri Val iev westward to the Rocky Mountains, where the daily average temperature was about 2° warmer than usual, and in tlie vi cinity of Lake Bu|**rior, where the daily temjierature has been from 2° to -4’ colder than usual. TP* RAINFALL. “During the wis-k the rainfall has been in excess in the Stab* on the Atlantic coast, on the Eastern slope of the Rocky Moun tains as far east as the Missouri valid I Arkansas, anil from lake Erie westward to lowa. Generally throughout, the tobacco regions of Kentucky and Tennessee and in the cotton region, tho rainfall has lieon less than usual, but numerous showers have oc curred in those districts. “The large seasonal deficiency, exceeding ten inches, continues in the Lower Missis sippi vallev, and the greater portions of lowa and Illinois, although this deficiency lias lieen slightly reduced by the recent rains in lown and Northern Illinois. “During the past month over 1(10 pep eent. of the usual amount of rain occurred! in the district*on the Atlantic coast, and in Nolaaska, Colorado, Southern Minnesota, Norttiern lowa, Northern Kansas, Northern Illinois, Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana, while less than f>o per cent, of the usual amount of rain has occurred in South ern Illinois, Southern Missouri, Arkansas,, and in the extreme Western portion* of Kentucky and Tennessee. “In the greater portion of the tobacco re gions of Kentucky and Tennessee the rain fall ha* exceeded 75 per ceut. of the usuoV amount during the month. GENERAL REMARKS. “The reports indicate that the rains dur ing the past and previous weeks im vo doubtless proved favorable for tho growing crops in the corn regions, although in the principal corn producing States the yield of this crop will doubtless lie materially reduced, owing to the drought. “The reports from the cotton regions show that tho harvesting of that crop is in progress, but that the yield has been slightly reduced, owing to deficiency of rainfall. “During the week the woather has been es eially favorable for pasture and late planted jKitatoe* in the Middle Atlantic Status, and in tho Northwest. “The reports from New England indi cate that the weather has been unfa vorable to growing crops, especially to tobacco and potatoes, owing to tne excess of rainfall. “Frosts occurred during the week as far South as central Minnesota, but as yet have caused no material injury to the crop*.” THE DRAMATIC SEASON. It Opens With a Big List of Actor* on Hand. New York, Aug. 27.— The theatrical sea son has started at lost. New York is so full of actors tiiat Broadway looks like an ex tension of the Rialto on Union square. I sat at luncheon in the Gihey House y, sterday and watched the actors as they paraded’ about in tens, hundreds and squadron*. There seemed to I*' no end of them. A few wore the conventional nttire of respectable young business men, but the majority of them rail to notable and uncouth extreme* in tho matter of hair, check clothes, and manners, particularly manners. The suavity und polish of tho actors on the street would have put a court of diplomatists to blush. (locasionally one of the eminent men in tha profession would drift nlong, followed by tlie eager eyes of the lesser lights. Tom Keene lounged amiably by with his hands in the pockets of his stick coat. t He was tho picture of ruddy and abounding health, hi* eye was bright and there was not.the faiaft cst trace of the tragedian about him. Oa every side were stage notables. Most of them were discussing the mystery which is just now so dense urtiund the Fifth Avenue Theatre. The house has for several year* lieen under tho management of John Stet son, a unique and shrewd business man and a sturdy gambler in amusement enterprises. This year he learned suddenly that the theatre had been let over his head and secretly to someone else. Ho paid a rental or more than $BO,OOO a year and it was not supposed that a larger sum could be obtained. But tha fact remained and everybody fell to won dering who the mysterious newcomer was. Gossip settled on Augustin Daly tor a time, as he generally transacts his business in this deep and sullen fashion. It was pointed out that his present theatre was very old and hardly large enough for his great suc cesses, and that he had been partia to the Fifth Avenue Theatre ever since ho flrst hit the public’s fancy there with “Pique" many years ago. But the Daly story has given away before one that seem* vastly more proliable. Harry Miner la looked upon as the man. He hod a row with Stetson a short time ago over the time Mrs. Potter wanted at the Fifth Avenue, and the row was never patched up. It Is quite within the range of proiiabilitie*, therefore, that Miner got the lease away from Stetson and will manage the theatre himself. It is Miner’s style. He is not sleepy no matter what may lie said of him. Indi cations are significant, though. Mr. Miner is going the way of all speculator* in the atricals. First it was Haverty, then the Krohmon Brothers, Abbey, and Brooks, and Dixon. .They all tried to run half a dozen or more theatres and conqiaiiies, and in the end they all came to grief. Miner is launch ing out in every possible direction. The season began with a magnificent spec tacle at Nffilo’s Garden. Maurioe Barry more plays "Lagadere” with great force and energy. "With tho great setting that the piece has it is surely In for a long run. New ton Beers began the season at the Grand ()|iera House in “Alone in f/Oiidon." The piece is mounted sui>erhlv and the scenic ef fects startling, even in these days of great stage carpenters and machinist*. The suc cess of tlie piece is particularly notable, be cause thc-re wo* no preliminary tooting of horns. The prospects of an interesting wiu ter. dramatically leaking, increase. 1$ looked almost hopeless a few weeks ago, but now that the I*ll is rolling now pro*- pects are constantly appearing.
