Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 7.—Gen. Thomas L. Rosser of Albemarle has announced his determination to become a populist candi- date for Congress in the seventh district. But tnis he cannot well do until Col. O’Fer- Fall shall have tendered his resignation. Col. O’Ferrall told The Star correspondent last night that he had not fully made up his mind as to the course he would pursue in regard to tendering his resignation. Some of the most prominent democrats in the state, he says, advised him against doing so. There are six candidates in the seventh district for the democratic nomina- tiorl, and @ lively contest is now going on to secure the seat. The most prominent of these probably are Maj. Micajah Woods of Charlottesville, A. Moore of Clark, ex-State Chairman Basil B. Gordon of Rappahan- nock, and Jefferson M. Levy, the owner of Monticello, in Albemarle. The last two named are wealthy, and if they choose to do so, could put plenty of money into the campaign. Mr. Levy's name was at one time ren- tioned for the chairmanship of the state committee. Why the Resignation is Withheld. If Col. O’Ferrall should resign now, it is certain that there would be a lively if not @ bitter contest over the democratic nomi- nation of his suvcessor. This is one reason why the democratic gubernatorial candidate has been urged to withhold hi: until after the election and thus prevent @ row from being precipitated in the district. A good deal has been said in connection with O’Ferrall’s resignation concerning the vagueness of the law providing for special elections for filling vacancies in the con- sressional delegation. The fact is, though, that O’Ferrall’s successor will be elected, if elected before the meeting of the coming general assembly, under a law which has been in existence probably since the adop- tion of the federal Constitution. Gen. Rosser’s Campaign. Gen. Rosser is supposed to be a man of considerable wealth. He owns a beautiful home near Charlottesville and is largely in- terested in valuable industrial and other Properties near Minneapolis, Minn. The general has not seemed to be in accord with the democrats since the nomination of O’Fer- rall for governor. If he enters the race as a Populist candidate for Congress in the sev- enth district, Col. O’Ferrall predicts his de- feat by 10,000 majority. Rosser was a dis- Yaguished confederate officer and ha no joubt, counts upon the support of the old soldiers in the valley. He will certainly get some of them, but the democratic leaders say he will not prove a popular candidate with the old soldier element. Rosser enters the campaign next Monday, when he will made his first speech at Woodstock, in Shen- andoah county. He will continue on the stump in the seventh district until the day of election and it is expected will ask for a joint discussion. If such meetings take place, they are sure to be lively, as Rosser is a bitter and sometimes rather intemper- ate speaker. Probably the whole political situation in Virginia and the indications of the results of the coming election can be summed up in the declaration of a prominent democratic leader: “For every democratic voter gained by the populists our party will win two Virginia and the Silver Men. Despite the fact, admitted by the demo- crats, that the populists are stronger this year than they were in the presidential | contest of "9, it is recognized by the popu- lists themselves that they have no leaders and comparatively little organization. Their whole reliance, as the populist managers candidly admit, is on the free silver Issue. ‘The fact that they are making the fight on this Une enables the party to secure money from the Silver Miners’ Association. Free silver men believe that if they could carry Virginia it would do more to strengthen the hands of the southern Senators who are now opposing repeal, than anything that is Ikely to occur before that measure Is finally disposed of. It is also reasonably certain that the managers in the United States Senate of the anti-repeal forces hope that the financial discussion can be kept up in that body until after the Virginia election. . ———— BROOKLAND CITIZENS. They Adopt a New Constitation— Standing Committes Appointed. ‘The Brookland Citizens’ Association held @ regular meeting in their hall last night, President C. J. Lynch in the chair. In the absence of Secretary Massey Mr. Holton acted as secretary pro tem. Dr. Frank T. Howe, from the committee on railroad: reported that he had had an interview with Mr. Schoeff, the manager of the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company, who had said that the Brookland branch would be completed and in operation by the Ist of November. Mr. Schoeff had said that he appreciated the difficulty under which the Brookland people labored and was de- sirous of affording them relief as speedily as possible, but that he was compelled to go to Philadelphia and bring over the prin- cipal moneyed men of the company before he could get authority to begin the work. A new constitution and by-laws for the association were reported and read and, after full explanation by the president as to the changes made and a brief discus- sion, were adopted. ‘The president announced the standing committees as follow: Membership—F. R. McCormick, chairman; F. A. Holton, E. T. Davis, J. L. Whiteside, Chas. McGee. Streets—T. G. Carmick, chairman; H. M. Woodward, Russell Barnes, P. H. Johnston, John A. Carr. Lights—B. F.

F. Kinan, J. B. Lora, J.'S. B. Green, C.K. Heffeld. It is expected that the reorganization of the association will add greatly to its ef- fectiveness and that many improvements that are greatly needed may be secured. —_.__ Queer Names for Race Horses.

The Old and New Home— A Large Number of Attaches —The Minister's Family. ‘The arrival in this city not long ago of a new Chinese minister accredited to this country, and the more recent removal of the Chinese legation from the home which it has long been occupied to one on the extension of lth street, have attracted more than a little attention. The Chinese legation has been at all times an object of great interest to people in this city and to strangers passing through. With the latter it is always one of the first places that they desire to have pointed out to them. Especially is this the case with people from San Francisco and other western cities who are familiar with Chinese life as it is known on the Pacific coast. There they are familiar with the least desirable class of Chinese residents, although, be it admitted, there is a little intermixture of wealthy merchants and others in high life. Still they are not Chinese of the same class, by any means, as are to be seen at the le- gation of the flowery kingdom in this city. The former minister, Mr. Tsui Kwo Yin, who was recently recalled by the emperor, was a man of considerable wealth and of a Sreat deal of education and culture, but in neither respect did he come up to his suc- cessor, Mr. Yang Yu, whose arrival in San Francisco and subsequent trip in royal ‘state across the continent was the subject of so much newspaper notoriety at the time. ‘The New Minister. In many respects Mr. Yang Yu is one of the most interesting men who has arrived in Washington in many a day. He is a man of great wealth and position in China, @ man of such prominence, in fact, that he comes very near being a member of royalty itself. Mr. Tsui, it will be remembered, was recalled while under more or less of a cloud with his home government owing to his supposed connection with Count Mit- kiewicz and the latter's disastrous financial schemes based on the Chinese concessions which he claimed to have received. The fact that the emperor chose such a man as Mr. Yang Yu to be his successor shows cleariy the importance which the ruler of the great Asiatic empire attaches to the legation in this country. It may be said, too, that never has there been a time when an able and clever Chinese minister had more work cut out and ready for his hand than has the new incumbent of this office. The Chinese registration law, the Geary law, and other matters of this sort will give Mr. Yang all the work he wants to do this winter. In fact, one of the first things he did upon his arrival in this city was to call upon the Secretary of State and enter an official protest against the restrictions which are placed upon Chinese emigration. But little has been accomplished since then, however, a reporter from The Star was told yesterday when he called at the legation. The Old and New Legation Building. The Chinese legation occupied the old Stewart house on Dupont circle for so many years that it will be a difficult matter for Washingtonians to disassociate the two. For years it has been a pleasant sight and a familiar one to see the minister, his sec- retaries or the ladies of the family walk- ing or sitting in Dupont Circle. The ar- rival of a daughter to the ex-minister was @ matter of great interest at the time, and this quaint, curious little bit of humanity was always the center of an admiring audience whenever she went out with her nurse for an airing. It will not be long, however, before the new legation house will have about it the same associations of interest. When Mr. Yang reached this city he found that the lease on the Stewart mansion would soon expire and could not be renewed, and one of the first things he did was to look about for a new and suitable home for his private and official family. This was no small task, for the legation now numbers eighteen, ex- clusive of servants, making it the largest foreign legation in’ this city. A desirable location was found, as stated in The Star at the time, at the corner of lth and Yale streets, where there is a group of three large brown stone houses. Two of these the minister leased for a term of years with the option of purchase and they were at once connected and made as nearly one house as might be. Not Suited for Entertaining. In many ways the new legation is well adapted for its purpose. In others it is not. It is comfortable, roomy and well furnished, but the house is not well suited for entertaining. The Chinese legation has always done its share in the matter of official entertainments, and there is reason to believe that the new minister had ex- pected to outdo any of his predecessors in the lavishness of his hospitality. He can well afford to give handsome receptions, but unfortunately the new legation has not @ very good ball room. This news will be received with regret by many people in Washington, for the dances at the Stewart mansion under the regime of Mr. Tsul and of his predecessor are remembered with pleasure, especially by the members of the younger dancing set. In Mr. Yang's new home there is a room on the fourth floor which will probably be used as a ball room, but its location and approaches are not ali that might be desired. An Interesting Personality. The new minister is far more interesting than his home. He is a man rather under fifty years of age, short and stout, with a round, full face. He moves with an air of seif-possession which is characteristic of high-bred Chinamen. In rank Mr. Yang is but a few degrees removed from royalty and he comes to the United States as a more influential representative of the em- peror than any of his predecessors, being a member of the Eight Banners, the aris- tocracy of the flowery kingdom. He has many friends among the foreign residents in China, whose good will he earned by his attention to their interests at the time of the riots at Wuhu. He ts said to be an en- lightened and broad-minded official. The new minister came to this city from China in great style, and when he disembarked from the Gaelic at San Francisco, August 15, he was followed by a suite of eighty- two persons, whose baggage as weighed at the custom house aggregated eighty tons. All of these attaches did not accompany Yang Yu to Washington, however, some of them being destined for diplomatic service at Madrid and at Lima, as the minister is ose ca: Washington. saiabia tae coo: The Ladies of the Legation. A great deal of interest has been taken by the people of San Francisco and this city in the women of the party—the minister's wife, the five ladies of rank who and her two daughters. It is said that Mr. ‘ang is decidedly exclusive, and will not be much seen in Washington society this win- ter. In accordance with Chinese custom she lives a life of the greatest seclusion, dining alone and seeing no one, for visitors are not permitted to enter her apartments. Rarely have two small peopie been much written and talked about as have the two daughters of the new minister. When the minister started from China for the United States it was understood that he was the proud possessor of several daugh- ters, who were expected to make their debut this winter. As they drew nearer Wash- ington the ages of the daughters seemed to decrease, and it would now seem that a good many years must yet elapse before they are old enough to participate in a Washington german. In point of fact the youngest daughter is only a year and a half old, while the elder has not yet reached the advanced age of three. In addition to the two little girls there is a smali boy, aetat five, who is said to be a very bright and promising little fellow. PRINCESS PERKINS. The Spanish Infanta Who Married @ Plain American. A STORY THAT HAS A SAD SDB A Match With Royalty That Met No Opposition. TROUBLE AFTER MARRIAGE. Miss Wheeler of Philadelphia (whose mat- rimonial woes are now before the public) made a semi-royal match when she became Countess Pappenhelm. Many other Ameri- can girls have, by marriage, acquired rank and title among the European nobility, but there is only one instance of an American entrance into a really royal family circle— and that entrance was effected by a man! More marvelous yet, the marriage was unopposed by the bride's family, notwith- standing the fact that she was a Spanish Bourbon. The certification of this remarkable mar- riage may be read in the register of the Church of St. Louis of the French, Lisbon, Portugal, under head of marriges, date November 12, 1870, as follow: Charles Allen Perkins of Syracuse, N. Y., secretary of the American legation at Lis- bon (born in Salisbury, Conn., United States of America, on the i7th day of September, 18), son of Zehiel Perkins and Alathia Northrup Perkins of the United States of America (belonging to the Anglican church), and the Princess Maria Isabella Francoise de Gurowski (born at Brussels, Belgium, the 10th day of June, 1847), legitimate daugh- ter of Ignacius Micislaus, Count de Gurow- ski, proprietor, and of her most serene royal highness, Isabella, Ferdinande, Josefina del Carmen, Francoise Felicie, Rafaela, Ro- mana, Joaquina Carolina Bourbon de Bour- bon, Infanta of Spain. On the part of M Perkins the ceremony was witnessed by t following Americans: Charles H. Lewis, minister resident of the United States; Henry S. Dimon, consul general; O. G. Glis- son, rear admiral, U. 8. navy; R. M. Fol- wer, U. 8. navy. The Story of the Marriage. When Mr. Perkins’ marriage to the Prin- cess Isabella took place the Spanish Bour- bons were pretty well scattered throughout continental Europe, owing to the recent ex- pulsion of Queen Isabella from Spain. The Infanta, with her daughter, the Princess Isabella, had come to Lisbon to seek the protection and hospitality of the King of Portugal, which they were enjoying when Mr. Perkins first’ met his future wife. From the correspondence extant it seems that no obstacles blocked the course of true love. Even the religious perplexities at- tending marriage between a Catholic and a Protestant were smoothed away. The holy father granted “‘A dispensation of disparity of religions,” Mr. Perkins binding himself by a solemn promise that the children of the marriage should be brought up in the Catholic faith. Among the many brilliant festivities given in honor of this union of a son of democratic America with the daughter of an Infanta of Spain was a grand ball on board the United States frigate-of-war, the Franklin, then lying in the Tagus, Admiral Glisson commanding. The honeymoon was passed at Cintra. Queen Isabella was living in exile at Geneva when her cousin's marriage to the American took place. She not only gave her royal sanction, but most substantially attested her consent by settling a hand- some dowry on the bride. Geneva was never exactly suited to the tastes of Queen Isabella as @ place of resi- dence, so at the conclusion of the Franco- Prussian war, the royal exile, with her large suite, went to Paris to enjoy life on the $150,000 a year allowed her by the Span- ish government. High Life in Pai At the earnest solicitation of Queen Isa- bella Mr. Perkins severed his connection with the American legation at Lisbon, and, with his princess wife, went to Paris,where they established themselves in royal style. On the 2th of February, 1873, a son was born to them, who received in baptism the name of Alfonso, in honor of Queen Isa- bella's only son, the future King of Spain, then a student at Vienna. Alfonso gra. clously consented to be godfather for his namesake. The child was held at the font by Queen Isabella, and the ceremony, which took place at the Apostolic Nonciature, was performed with all the pomp of a royal christening. Count Gurowski represented Alfonso. The queen's daughter, the Infanta Isabella, accompanied her majesty. The act was signed by Mr. Washburne, American minister to Paris; Mr. Reld, consul gen- eral of the United States; Monsieur Du Plessy, Princess de Valcaros and Mr. Hoff- man, secretary of the American legation. ‘Queen Isabella presented magnificent dia- monds to the mother and infant. To Mr, Perkins she gave a miniature portrait of her son encircled with precious stones. ‘Another son was born to Mr. Perkins and the princess at Paris in 1876. He was given the name of Don Carlos. Both these sons are today Mving in Madrid with their mother. A Fatal Step. At the time of the birth of the first son, as indicated by the name given him, and the selection of his sponsors, Princess Isa- bella and Mr. Perkins were apparently loyal supporters of Alfonso, It was a pe- riod when the crown of Spain seemed thrown to a number of claimants for a general scramble. While Don Carlos was stirring the cauldron of European politics into constant bubble, toil and trouble, his wife, Dona Margarite, was also very ac- tive. She was residing near Bordeaux, France, with her children. Although she had never seen her cousin, Princess Isabella Perkins, she entered into a most affection- ate correspondence with her, promising bril- jant rewards and great preferment for Mr. erkins at Madrid when Don Carlos should come into his own. Yielling to his wife's wishes and Dona Margarite's persuasive letters, Mr. Perkins took a fatal step, from the consequences of which he suffered to the day of his death. Openly going into the ranks of the enemy by joining the Carlist Club at Paris, he employed his facile pen in writ- ing a series of clever articles for the Car- list press. Down went all these hopes and schemes when, on December 29, 1874, Alfonso was proclaimed King of Spain. Among one of the very first proscribed by the new government was Mr. Perkins. ‘The father of King Alfonso, Don Fran- cisco d'Assis, was living in Paris. He had always shown a great friendship for Prin- cess Isabella Perkins. By his earnest ef- forts she regained the favor of the Span- ish court and was allowed to enter Madrid with her two sons. After a time, the prin- cess succeeded in mollifying the feelings of the young king towards her husband, and Mr. Perkins was permitted to rejoin his wife and children at the Spanish capi- Harassed at Court. It was soon found by the princess and her Yankee husband that the young king was Powerless to overcome the vengeful spirit, Jealousy and natural distrust of the Span- lards. The courtiers of Alfonso took no pains to disguise their contempt for the un- titled partner of the princess. Mr. Perkins became conscious of the fact that he was under constant surveillance. Everything written inimical to Alfonso was attributed to his pen or inspiration. In an imprudent moment the harassed man wrote a confiden- tial letter to a friend in Paris in the diplo- matic service. Through some mistake the letter was published and it finished Mr. Perkins’ career among the royalties. He was obliged to leave Spain. Turning his face westward, he settled down near Syra- cuse, N. Y., leaving this country only for very brief visits to his sons in Europe. In August, 1892, Mr. Perkins died at his home OTHING LIKE SWIFT'S SPECIFIC is totally unlike any other blood medicine.

His mother was a Northrup of Dutchess county. Her brother married the eldest sister of the late Jay Gould. Mr. Perkins’ diplomatic career com- menced very early in life. He was at Naples in an cfficial capacity when the war of the rebellion broke out. ‘In 1867 he accompanied Gen. J. J. Bartlett to Stockholm, where he filled the position of secretary of legation. During the administration of Gen. Grant Mr. Perkins wes our consul at Barcelona, Spain, and subsequently secretary of lega- tion at Lisbon, where his connection with the American diplomatic service came to an end through his marriage with the Princess Isabella. ‘The Infanta, Isabella Ferdinande, mother of Princess Isabella Perkins, was the daugh- ter of Don Francisco, brother of King Ferd- inand VII of Spain, and of Princess Louisa, daughter of King Francis of Naples. Her marriage was far more romantic than that of her daughter, though the sequel was very similar, The Infanta was educated at the Sacred Heart in Paris. When her school days were over she found great enjoyment in the brilliant circles of Parisian high life. One of the most remarked men at this time was Count Ignaclus Gurowski. He was the t beau of Paris—the fact that he was a lish exile adding to the great interest he excited. Don Francisco soon saw how things stood with his young daughter and the fascl- nating count. He returned the Infanta to the convent, whence she escaped in the dead of night. The lovers fled to the Belgian frontier, which they succeeded in crossing. A village priest performed the marriage cer- emony. Don Francisco caused the arrest of Gurowski at Brussels and the bride was brought back to Paris. After a long strug- le between the father and daughter Don ‘rancisco consented to recognize the mar- riage. The Infanta and her Polish husband lived’ in Brussels for a number of years. Finally they went to Madrid, where Gurows- ki (ike Perkins in after years) was accused of meddling in politics and ordered to leave the kingdom. Count Ignactus Gurowski was a brother of Adam Gurowski, the Polish ex- tle so well known years ago in Washington as a fine writer and the friend of Wm. H. Seward when Secretary of State. 4 . de C. ee AMUSEMENTS, Albaugh’s.—At Albaugh’s Grand Opera House Monday evening the Manola-Mason Company will give the original production in this city of their operatic comedy, “Friend Fritz.” It is a free translation of the great Comedie Francaise success, “L'Ami Fritz,” with a charming musical setting by Julian Edwards, who is said to have composed some very pretty music. The story is one of love, pure and simple, with a most realistic stage setting. ‘The company is an excellent one, including Robt. McWade of Rip Van Winkle fame, Mrs. Georgia Dickson as popular in her line as Mrs. John Drew; Seth Crane, an excellent basso and comedian; Sadie Grahame, 4@ clever subrette; the two daughters of Col. John McCaul, Lindsay Morrison, Chas. ‘Adams, Harry Chase and others. ‘It is a singing company as well as an acting one. Doubtlessly there has never been so much interest displayed in a souvenir event as the one which takes place at this theater. The sule of seats is very large, nearly all being scld for Monday evening. The sou- venir is said to be the handsomest in the history of theatrical mementos. New National Theater—‘In Old Ken- tucky,” with Miss Bettina Girard, who is better known here as Betty Ordway, as the leading performer, will be the attraction at the New National Theater next week ‘Academy of Music.—Miss Marie Wain- wright will be seen at the Academy of Music next week in the following reper- tory: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday matinee, “Camille”; Wednesday evening, “Frou Frou”; Thursday evening and Sat- urday matinee, “The Social Swim”; Friday and Saturday ‘evenings, “Man agd Wife.” ‘A Young Washington Actress.—Many peo- ple were pleasantly surprised to recognize in the young actress who assumed the role of the French maid in “Delmonico’s at Six,” this week, a Washington girl, Miss Bessie Lackey. Her advent upon the stage has not been heralded with newspaper notices, but the careful and captivating manner in which she performs the somewhat unim- portant, but difficult task, give evidence of her future success on merit. Harris’ Theater.—Gray and Stephens have decided to produce their new play, “The Signal Lights,” at Harris’ Theater next week. It is a melodrama which affords the widest opportunities, not only for the display of a good company, but for scenic realism, and for the performance of the sagacious and beautiful animals that have proved such favorites in the past. The company includes the popular comedian, Frank White, and Mi a vocalist, whose songs have proved very catchy. The play has numerous startling incidents connected with that institution, about which so much of our modern ro- mance is clustered, the steam railway. During the play will be introduced the big St. Bernard dogs, the Russian ponies, the pet lamb and the trained donkey, “Pete.” Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—The attrac- tion at Kernan’s next week will be those jolly German comedians, Weber and Fields, with their own company, which includes those clever ethfopian originators, McIn tyre and Heath, appearing in a brand new act; Jas.

Each performance will con- clude with McIntyre and Heath’s very funny absurdity, entitled “One Price Only,” in which the entire company will take part. Matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Academy of Music. Sunday.—Tomorrow night will be given at the Academy of Music a mystifying performance by Miss Anna Eva Fay, noted as a medium. Whether the spectators believe in spiritu- alism or not, Miss Fay's exhibitions are of great interest.

It is thought that the assets will cover all lia- bilities and there is no evidence of any crookedness. The suspension has caused intense excitement and crowds surge about the closed doors. “AS YOU LIKE IT.” Great Preparation for Its Presentati: in Convention Hall. The great Convention Hall, at the corner of Sth and L streets northwest, has pre- sented a very busy scene for the past two days. A stage has been erected, and a competent florist, with a score of assist- ants, has been actively engaged in con- verting a portion of the hall into a minia- ture Forest of Arden. Wagon loads of trees, greens, palms, branches, with the autumn-tinged leaves, mosses, grasses and stumps, have ‘beén carried to the hall to make an appropriate setting for Shakes- peare’s idyl “As you Like It,” which Messrs. Charles B. Hanford and N. Du- Shane Cloward are putting on for the ben- efit of the liberty belt entertainment fund. It has been determined to utilize only a portion of the great hall, so as to make the auditorium portion more cozy, and also util- ize the gallery on the L street side. The stage will therefore begin a little more than half way back in the hall. This will still give over two thousand good seats besides the gallery. In the rear of the stage dress- ing rooms will be arranged for the com- pany. Calcium lghts and electricity will be used for lighting. The cast that Mr. Hanford engaged while in New York has been held intact. Miss Eleanor Merron of the Lyceum Theater, New York, will ap- pear as Rosalind, by kind permission of Mr. Daniel Frohman. Miss Merron is one of Mr. Frohman’s leading ladies. She al- ternates with Miss Georgia Cayvan, and during the absence of Miss Cayveu in Ja- pan Miss Merron, played all the jeading parts. She is an excellent actress, and has played Rosalind many times and in three al fresco performances. Mr. Creston Clarke, who is well known, and who played the part so successfully at Marshall Hall, will be the Orlando. Miss Francis Gaunt, formerly with Julia Marlowe, will play Celia. Miss Gaunt is a very pretty blonde and an actress of genuine ability. Miss Grace Atwell, formerly of the Boston Mu- seum, will be the Phebe. Miss Sally Wil- liams, who played Audrey; Mr. James L. Carhart, who played Adam; Mr. Percy Sage, who played the Duke Frederick at Marshall Hall, have all been re-engaged. Additions to the cast will be Bertram Temple, who was last year with Mr. Han- ford’s company and formerly with Robert Downing; Robert Smiley, who will again essay Jacques De Boys, and Theodore Frie- bus. Prof. N. DuShane Cloward will play the part of Amicus and lead the vocal se- lections by the Capital Glee Club, and wilt also sing the beautiful solo “Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind,” with a chorus by the glee club. Mr. Hanford will, of course, be seen in his favorite part of “The Melan- choly Jacques.” The Wrestler is the only character not yet engaged, but will be filled in ample time. Altogether the affair prom- ises to be a mi artistic and unique per- formance, and should not be missed. No curtain will be used, and the performance will be virtually al fresco. Reserved seats and tickets are now on sale at Mertz’s drug store. The first two rows of the gallery will be reserved at 7 cents, and admission to the gallery will be 50 cents. Lower floor, reserved, $1.25; admission, $1. It has been decided to give two night performances instead of a matinee and night performance. The play will therefore be presented on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. —_—— Early W t Days.
