of "David Garrick” and “Hamlet,” on the

I 1 iritiveiy few people attended Innes'

, u ' Ußlffti P Laly’s "A Night Oft” Is not a
ar i ay ’ as ***** seen here before,
there is little that need be said about
it. It is one of those rattling comedies
which speaks for itself.
The story of "The Prodigal Father" Is
of a wealthy old geographer who starts
out to explore Africa, but before his steam
er sails meets with a diversion in the
shapa of a serio-comic actress. He
straightway gives up his scientific ideas
and tags after her for six months. He re
ceives no encouragement and so gives cp
the chase, arriving at homo he tells his
family of his imaginary adventure in the
dark continent. Perplexing situations by
the score soon confront him. and lie finds
himself in all sorts of laughable quanda
ries.
The scenes of "A Cavalier of France,"
in which Louis Janies will be seen here
this week, are laid in the latter part of the
sixteenth century, in those stirring times
in which Catherine de Medici was perae-
| cuting the Huguenots, a period in which
| great events and historical personages fig-
I ure. Mr. James’ role is that of a devil
may-care character, known as Rene de
Froisac, beloved by everybody except
Catherine, who has been falsely accused
of stealing the Queen of Navarre's garter,
and, being unable to prove his innocence,
he is expelled from the court, to be sub
sequently restored to royal favor after
J having saved the King’s life. He is finally
j exonerated from the theft and marries the
! girl of his heart, Gabrielle Dußois, a maid
of honor at Henry's court, and who is en
important character during the entire ac
tion of the play.
"The Girl I Left Behind Me.”
"The Girl I Left Behind Me” comes her
alded as one of Frohman's successes. The
scenes are laid In the far West during an
Indian uprising In 1890, the chief charac
ters being a general, major, the general’s
daughter, a lieutenant’s sister and two
lieutenants, one the sou! of honor, tl\e oth
er furnishing the villain role. Kate, the
daughter of a general, has captured the
hearts of the two handsome lieutenants,
Hawksworth and I’arlow. For some rea
son Hawksworth is rejected and she be
comes affianced to the villainous Parlow,
who the after developments show to be
the defamcr of the post major’s dead wife,
and a coward afraid to face powder and
hall, in the end HawkVworth triumphs and
Parlow is exposed, and all ends well. The
interest really begins in the second act. A
post ball is in progress and all is merry.
Suddenly over a ticker comes news of an
uprising of the Blackfoot Indians. Scout*,
couriers and a detachment of soldiers are
dispatched to the scene. The curtain falls
while god-speeds are being wished the
brave men of the post. In the third act the
threatened attack on the post la about to
be made. Gen. Kcnnion has promised to
kill his daughter rather than have her fall
into the hnnds of the foe. The attack Is
made, but reinforcements save the day
and all Is well. The last act rights all
wrongs. Par’ow's cowardice is made ap
parent and a general embracing of lovers
ensues.

of the club; "The Boston Ideal Banjo,
Mandolin and Guitar Club gave the sec
ond in the Y’oung Men's Christian Asso
ciation course of entertainments, and tho
many hearty encores attested the thor
ough enjoyment -and delight of the large
audience. The concert was unique in
character, and the programme was so well
arranged that there was no suggestion
of monotony. It is not an exaggeration
to say that these gentlemen are all ar
tists, playing with the finish and true
musical feeling of artists, music that was
often quite removed from that ordinarily
associated with such Instruments, -and
which presented difficulties of no ordinary
character. There is an irresistible charm
in their playing that appeals both to the
cultivated ear and to the popular taste;
and in brilliancy and exceedingly delicate
effects of light and shade their efforts
were admirable.
Mr. F. E. Rebarer has issued invitations
to a recital to take place next Wednes
day evening at his studio. Among the
participants will be Miss Virgie Ashley,
pianist; Miss Lionne Brock way, reader,
and Mr. H. von Linstow, violinist.
"I am getting tired.” says Richard Mans
field, "of appearing in the guise of men
who have only unpleasant attributes.
People begin to think that I am that sort
pt man myself. Hereafter I am going to
play lovers that all the girls will r ive

a healthy incline toward the stage char
acters that one would not be ashamed to
know in real life, men of kindly nature,
bravo and lovable; men who make love
brilliantly, fight cheerfully a nd live In en
atmosphere of roses and romance.”
A cousin of former President Benjamin
Harrison, Lillian Fitz-White, is going to
become a professional actress. Miss Fitz-
White’s father—it is through him she is
related to the former President—is a prom
inent business man in Omaha. Neb. 'The
young woman herself Is a graduate of the
Sacred jleart convent in Omaha, and for
the last four or five months she has been
a pupil of the Stnnliope-Wheatcroft Dia-j
matic School, and has shown such ability
that, she is to make her appearance in "A
Bachelor’s Wife.” a play to be presented
at Hoyt’s theater, in New York. William
Jennings Bryan was once her Sunday
school teacher.
James A. Herne, the author of “Shore
Acres,” has written many plays, and in
each of them there Is a baby. "I was the
first playwright,” said Mr. Herne the other
day, “to give a baby a part. Of course,
many plays in which there were babies
had been written, but In ’Hearts of flak’
the baby had a part. We called the dif
ferent acts by names, and the third act we
called ’the baby act.’ We had a great
many babies in the nine seasons ’Hearts of
Oak’ was played. Generally they were boy
babies, because the boys are stronger, more
placable, better natured and smarter. Ev
ery now and then I am met at the stage
door by some woman with a strapping big
boy almost as big as I am. The women
always recognize me, and come running up
and shake hands with me, saying; ‘Oh,
Mr. Heme, do you remember Johnnie?’ Of
course. I don't remember him, and I tell
them so. ‘What! don't you rememoer
Johnnie? Why, Johnnie played with you
in ‘Hearts of Oak.’ Shake hands with Mr.
Herne, Johniie.’ I shake hands with John
nie and tell him lam glad he has grown
up such a fine, big boy, but that doesn’t
cure the disappointment the mother felt
because I didn’t recognize Johnnie at once.
Sometimes young women come to the stage
door. I remember three or four times a
young woman with a baby in her arms
has come to the door and shaken hands
with me. ‘You don't remember me, do
you? Why, I was little Christie, in ’Hearts j
of Oak.’ Then I point to the little bundle
they carry and ask what it is. That? Oh,
that’s my baby. Do you think she looks
anything like I did when I was with you?'
I don’t like to He. but I would rather tell
a little lie than to hurt a young mother’s

A Denver 6cribe dedicates the following
to the bold, bad man in “Shall We For
give Her?"
The heroine gazed at the villain,
With tear-drops In her eyes.
"Ah. me. can It be, 'Us he?” said she,
Sighing a heavy sigh.
The vilbiin gazed at the heroine
And with a replied.
"Ah! Ila! I see, you remember me.
But why that little sigh?”
Then each did gaze at the other.
With sense* all alert,
" Tis two years since act one,” said she
"And you haven’t changed your shirt.”
George Boniface, Jr., who played in
"What Happened to Jones" here a couple
of weeks ago, succeeded in bringing down
the house by a mistake In St. Louis last
week. The action compels Boniface to
remove one pair of trousers from his per
son in the wings. Boniface attempted to
throw the discarded garment behind him.
but in some manner it was propelled for
ward, and rising stuck on the chandelier
over the stage. The audience and people
on the stage tittered, the actors forgot
their lines and the curtain was actually
run down to permit the removal of the of
fending breeches.
“The Heart of the Klondike" proved
about as big a frost as the coldest day
registered on the Y’ukon, and has gone
into permanent winter quarters.
Fay Templeton has again decided to
gladden the hearts of New Y’orkers by ap
pearing before them. She Is to wear tights
and play principal boy roles in burlesque.
Minnie Dupree has been engaged to
to play the ingenue role in “The Heart of
(Maryland,” when that play goes to Eng
land in the spring.
Ada Rehan has played 300 parts.
Mr. James Neil recently received a
quaint letter, addressed to him by a rising
dramatist, who may be a winner some day
if the ink holds out. It is worth reading:
Dear Sir: Mr. Neil I have worked on
a play from July 39 to Sep I—and will
have it finished Friday morning which
will make it thirty two day3’ 1 would
like to sell it for ten dollar's a day, as
it is the first Play which is worth while
selling, this does not mean the first one
which I have written. It is my eight play,
the whole thing together would cost you
three hundred dollars If you would like
to buy it you may come to this Office
Thursday morning I w'ill be here at any
day except this after noon,
It is called The Italian Marriage, If
you wish you may come and see it, I
have though of writing this play since
February. I have written It over twice
so it aught to Be good, I am Rut 15 years
old So if you think 1 am too young you
need not buy it But I bid you welcome
to my father’s office to come and look
it over I want in all for this play $320.
for it as It is the ■first play I wrote worth
buying, there is about one hundred days
that I have studied on this Play.
You will have to furnish copy Right on
this Play, if I had the money to pay for
it I would do it and If I had the #ioney
to start it I would do it But no one on
earth can Buy money without having
money. So Mr. Neil as soon a* I get
the money, I will start a play of my own.
I would write you 5 plays for S2OOO, that
is all I am going to sell If I can, I have
about six Flays in my desk now.
A large audience greeted the perform
ance of Mrs. Mize, Miss Ashley and Miss
Brockway Thursday and Friday evenings.
Mrs. Mize has a pure and cultivated so
prano voice, a delightful style and a
charming personality.
Miss Ashley is possessed of musical tal
ent of a very high order. She plays with
exquisite taste, and has a sympathetic
touch.
Miss Brockway Is an accomplished read-
er. and is endowed with a voice eminently
dramatic. Her rendition of the scene
from "The Hunchback” was especially
fine.
Hanotaux, the French minister of for
eign affairs, has sent a circular to the
representatives of the French republic in
foreign countries requesting them urgent
ly to prevent by all the means ot their
command any glorification of ex-Capt.
Dreyfus on the stage. This circular seems
to have been successful, for the represen
tations of the French minister at the
Hague resulted in the immediate stop
page of the performances at Amsterdam
of a sensational drama about Dreyfus,
which had been playing to full houses for
several weeks. In Belgium att Dreyfus
ploy* have Iteen forbidden, among them
the drama by the Paris journalist Sanzie,
"Retribution." wh'ch was to have been
performed at the Alhambra theater in
Brussels. The theatrical company of
Cinadori, now giving performances at San
Remo, on the Riviera, was not permitted
to bring out the new play by the Roman
author Rosini, entitled "Dreyfus on Devil’s
Isle,” which was stopped by the police.
This is probably the first instance on rec
ord where the entire diplomatic apparatus
of one of the great powers has been set
to work to stop expressions on the stage
about an internal affair.
Victorien Sardou, the famous French
dramatist, has received a doll-head for a
present, not of the kind which sends joy
into the hearts of little girls, but a bust
of Sarah Bernhardt about one-half life
size. The little bust is a remarkable work
of art; it looks surprisingly like the head
of the great Sarah made up for the stage
in the character of GJsmonda, with gen
uine red-blonde hair, combed up high, just
ns she wears it in that part and fastened
with a branch of scarlet-red blossoms The
coloring of the face la so life-like that it
almost breathes life itself. The Academician
Gerome, the caeator of the little bust, has
frequently made such little heads, but he
has never before succeeded in creating a
more wonderful work of art than this por
trait-bust of Sarah Bernhardt.
Adelina Patti, who but recently lost her
husband, lives now very quietly at the
Hotel Continental, Paris, where she ex
pects to remain for a few weeks in entire
seclusion. She has just written to a friend
that “bodily she feels well, but that she
realizes her loss keenly and is dreadfully
lonesome.” She has canceled her engage
ments at the Riviera and at Monte Car
lo, for she feels unable to meet the social
requirements. Probably she will return
shortly to her Welsh estate and remain
there until late In the spring. After that
she w ill fill the engagements she had clos
ed contracts for previous to the fatal ill
ness of her late husband.
Georgia is developing some elocutionists
and readers, to whom success seems cer
tainly promised. An Eatonton special to
the Constitution gives an Interesting ae
courjJ of the success of a young lady of
that place. It says;
Miss Julia B. Reed began her career as
a stage elocutionist at the Eatonton Opera
House a few nights ago. She was greeted
with a large and appreciative audience.
The refinement and culture of the town
whs out in full force, and seemed to en
joy every moment of the time. The pro
gramme was made up of choice selections
from the best authors, Includihg a scene
from her own play, “Caesar's Son,” which
she has recently written, together with a
beautiful poem wrilten by another of Eat
onton's talented women, Mrs. B. W. Hunt,
entitled, "Grandma’s Slippers.”
Too much cannot be said in praise of
Mlse Reed’s powers as an elocutionist.
She equals. If not surpasses, any one now
upon the platform. Ttie public will hea.
her with delight and remember her with
pleasure. We lend her to the public for a
while for their benefit and pleasure. We
bespeak for her a hearty welcome all over
the South.
Miss Julia B. Reed is a daughter of the.
late Mr. R. N. Reed, at one time a promb
pent and wealthy cotton factor at Sa
vannah, Ga. He afterward removed to
Eatonton, where he died. Miss Reed is a
graduate of Lucy Cobb Institute, raking
first honor In her class. Since then she
has devoted most of her time to elocution
and now begins her career as a platform
elocutionist.

Journal, ■
POLITICS IX UGOHUIi,
What the Fdltor* of tlie State Say of
the Candidates.
Rochelle New lira: Hon. R. L. Berner
will be an important factor in the guber
natorial race, although we do not think
he will be the nominee.
It is rumored at Rome that Hon. Scab
Wright, late Populist candidate for Gov
ernor, will be an Independent candidate
for Congress against the Democratic nom
inee. It is said that he will receive the
support of the Republican and straiglitout
Prohibitionists.
Columbus Ledger: The tax payers have
become, we believe, weary of paying for
the education of the children of negroes,
which In nine cases out of ten proves a
curse rather than a blessing. They know
further that hundreds are receiving ten
sions who are not entitled to them, and
that the state as well as national pension
list need purging. For the rea
sons above stated the Ledger
cannot support any of the candidates an
nounced until the Democratic convention
shall have decided who shall head I lie
Democratic ticket at the October election.
Tn the meantime we shall treat all candi
dates -with fairness and the utmost im
partiality.
Canton Advance: Bob Berner is a good
man, he is scholarly, eloquent, and a
friend of the common people, and the plat
form upon which he will make his race
appeals to the masses rather th in to the
corporations, railroads and pampered
classes, and lo a certain extent is a sur
prise to the politicians.
The friends of Hon. W. C. Garrison, n
prominent merchant of iMaysville, arc
urging him to become a candidate for the
House of Representatives from Banks
county thi9 year.
Col. W. S. Wallace of Forsyth county
is mentioned as a possible candidate for
Senator from the Twenty-third district.
Representative .7. K. Thompson of Banks
is making an aggressive fight for Senator
from the Thirty-third district.
Hon. William Henderson has announced
himself a candidate to represent Irwin
county in the general assembly.
Hon. John T. Allen will probably be a
candidate for Representative from Bald
win county.
Americas Recorder: Hon. Spencer At
kinson was pronounced In liik opposition
to Hon. F. G. duDignon's Gubernatorial
aspirations. Now, pray, what right has
Mr. Atkinson to lay any claim to Mr du-
Bignon’s supiiort. The Times-Recorder
justly declares he has absolutely none.
Irwin ton Bulletin: Spencer R. Atkinson
doesn’t seek to prey upon the prejudice
of the people, and he doesn't throw out
that populistic bait of “the common peo
ple,” “the plowboy,” etc. He is a good
man, on a good platform, and will make
a good Governor.
Statesltoro Star: Bob Berner, president
of the Georgia State Senate, feels called
upon to save the state by becoming a can
didate for Governor. He assails the rail
roads and other corporations, but it is
clear that Berner will not cut much of
a figure in the race. Uncle Aden Is al
ready defeated, we believe, and he ought
to be. We have got no respect for a man
who squeals on his own crowd and tries
to jump the game of which he has been
part and parcel.
Statesboro Times: We have aljvays lik
ed Hon. R. L. Berner, but so far we can
not sec the “pint” in his platform for Gov
ernor, though we believe he would do us
good as the best of them.
L ort Valley Leader. We believe that
Mr. Berner has many ixhnts of excellence
to recommend him to the people of Geor
gia. But there Is another who Is eminent
ly the man of the hour and of the people,
and Georgia is going 10 elect (’afuller both
as "an object lesson to the political ring
stcr and for the sake of good government
also,
Rome Tribune: Because so flawless, (he
platform of Spencer Atkinson is a demo
cratic gem of purest ray serene.
Montezuma Record: Mr. Jones will vote
for Allen D. Candler for Governor, and in
doing jo practice what he preaches: “Dare
to do fight.” While we are ready to wel
come to the Candler ranks every good man
in the state, yet we do not Ik 1 I love that
it will be good policy f or either of the
candidates to have pulpits turned into
stumps from which political harangues are
to be delivered. It is the province of tno
pulpit to look after the spiritual welfare
of the people—soul saving, not state sav-
ing.
Carrollton Free Press: Mr. Berner be
lieves like Bob Toombs that if the state
does not control the railroads, the latter
will control the state.
Dublin Dispatch: The Dispatch admires
Berner as it mail more than ii docs the
other candidates, and it will do all In its
feeble power to have him nominated.
Cedarlown Standard: As we have said,
all four of the candidates for Ihe Demo
cratic nomination are good men and ex
cellent Gubernatorial timber. This being
the case, there ts neither wisdom nor ne
cessity in a heated and acrimonious con
test. The Standard Is heartily in favor of
Col. Candler, honestly believing his nomi
nation would be the best for the party and
the people.
Mcßae Yoeman: Unfortunately, perhaps,
for Mr. Candler, his declaration in favor
of clean methods tn politics, lower taxes
and anti-ring rule, is displeasing to many
of those who have during recent year*
controlled largely the Democratic party of
the state. But he does not depend upon this
class for his nomination and election.

Rockledge, Fla., Feb. 26.—The tourist
season is now in full blast, all along the
East Coast country. This year's patron
age at Rockledge far exceeds that of for
mer seasons, gnd the place 13 growing
more and more In favor every year. The
little town Is located on a high bluff on the
west bank of the river, which Is about two
miles In width at this point, and commands
a fine view of Merritt's Island, and tire

This resort was established in 1874 by a
Mr. Wilkinson from Virginia, who built
the first hotel on the present site of Rock

Travelers are complaining because the

Three-Quarters of im Hour I’rnyer.
From tho Westminster Gazette.
In St. John's Established Church, Dun
dee, on Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Naysmlth,
the assistant minister, performed the feat
of praying for three-quarters of an hour.
For some time past it has been customary
for the devotional part of the service to be
conducted by the assistant, the Rev. Dr.
Grant restricting himself lo the sermon.
On Sunday both ministers occupied the
pulpit while the devotions were proceed
ing. Mr. Naysmlth began the prayer prior
to the sermon at twenty minutes past 11,
and it was soon apparent that the sup
plication was to la- a long one. After
half an hour signs of Impatience were
manifesting themselves; several worship
ers were observed conversing, while about
half a dozen left the church. Meantime,
although It Is understood Dr. Grant took
means to induce him to cut the prayer
short—by pulhng the asaltant’a Coat tall*,
one observer said—Mr. Naysmlth proceed
ed. and closed with the Lord’s Frayer at
five minutes past 12, being fully three
quarters of an hour engaged at the peti
tion. Subsequently, Instead of taking a
scat in a pew for the remainder of the ser
vice, Mr. Naysmlth walked out of the

CURED OF BLOOD POISON
AFTER 52 DOCTORS
FAILED.
Blood Balm Cos.. Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen In IK72*. moll pimple broke
out on my leg. It began eating and in
four months I was treated by a physician
of Tallad ga county, Alabama, where I
lived eighteen years. He relieved it for a
short while. In six weeks it broke out
again in both legs, Ibo on my shoulder.
Two small bones were laken out. It con
tinued until 1876. In this lime J had
twelve different physicians. They tAM roe
the only remedy was amputation; that It
could never bo cured. For six months I
could not walk a step. I went to Mineral
Wells, Texas, spent $3X>; came home;went
to Hot springs. Ark., staid nine months—
all failed to cure me. In ISS7 I came hack
to Birmingham, Ala. I was advised to
write you, which I did. You wrote me that
It. B. B. would cure me, and I could get
the medicine from Nabors & Morrow
druggists, of our city. I bought ten bot
tles and before I had finished my fifth bot
(lc-my legs began lo heal, and in less than
two months I wus sound and well. That
has been nearly two years ago, and no
sign of it* return yet. I have spent tn
cash over 1460, and B. B. B. done the
work that all the r<st failed to do. You
have my permission to publish this. I
have traveled so much trying to get well
that my cure Is well known. Fifty-two
doctors have treated me In the last 17
years. All they did was to take what
money I had, and done me no good. I
am now a well man.
