The (iazx r rkkk Musical Critic was
shown Wednesday an overture the coin-
position of Mr J. H. Fogg, leader of the
Gate City (colored) Band, which reflects
eminent credit upon the musical thought
and abilitv of that musician. It opens
with a bold allegro in 2-4 time followed
by a waltz movement which is succeeded
by an andante common time solo for
baritone and a schottische, the whole con-
cluding with a reel movement that is crisp
and taking. The composition, while
light and playable, is brilliant and catchv
and will make an excellent concert piece
tor amateur bands. It may not be irrel-
laver.f to here remark that the work done
by Mr. Fogg in advancing the proficiency
ot his band is worthy ot the highest
praise, and that he will makegood placers
of its members if they retain an interest
in their work is evident trom the progress
they have already made under his in-
struction.
A crazy negro cavorted around Sher-
man several davs, attacking whoever
came in his wav with clubs and anv
other weapons he could lay hands on.
He scared Jesse I.bving nearly out of his-‘
wits last Wednesday evening, who evas
glad to make his escape from his own
premises by scaling a fence. The officers
finally got on his track and came up with
him in East Sherman armed with a long
knife. As he wotfld neither give up his
weapon nor surrender the officers just
killed him.
1 he'home of Frank M. Robinson, on
Day street, was Monday night the scene
of a pleasant social gathering, the occa-
sion being in honor of the departure tor
St. Louis of Miss Katie Riobinson, who
has been visiting her brother since
spring. The guests were entertained
with music, recitations and relreshments,
and a delightful time was enjoyed. Miss
Robinson’s large circle of friends in this
city will regret her departure. The fol-
lowing ladies and gentlemen were pres-
ent: Misses Effiie Daughters, Minnie
Lasheij, Carrie Marshall, Ray Alexander,
Katie Mimnaugh, and Miss Wilson, of
Kentucky, and Messrs. Chas. Smith, H.
Hawley, Will Woods, Will Achenbach,
Sid Elkin, A. N. Leecraff, A! Hague Torn
Foley and Watt Smith. / -j
-jThe residence ot Miss MabelRagland,
on Gandy street, was Tuesday night the
scene of a delightful little social recep-
tion, planned and executed by that char-
ming young lady with a taste and ability
which might have done credit to a much
older head. The young lady friends of
Miss Ragland to the number ot a half-
dozen or more were Invited in to 4 o’clock
tea while an equal number of young
gentlemen presented themselves (also as
per invitation) to spend the evening.
The Gazetteer society editor not being
a lady and consequently not being pres-
ent in the afternoon is unable to state
what took place at the tea, but is prepar-
ed to testify to the delightful nature of
the time enjoyed in the evening. It may
not be aesthetic to pass lightly over the
intellectual delights ot muiic etc., with
which the occasion was invested to dwell
more fully upon the gastronomic one of
supper, but the particular supper under
consideration, and the one to which Miss
Ragland invited her guests was so sump-
tuous in its arrangements and scope and
so altogethar elegant and dainty in its
service as to justify almost any departure
from reportorial convention in noticing
it. A more perfect triumph in a cuisine
sense could not have been desired, and
it is superrogation to say that it was both
admired and enjoyed. Among those
present were Misses Luella Moore, Carrie
Marshall, Ray Alexander, Emma Wilkin-
son, Louise Metcalatt, and Mrs. Dean,
and Messrs A. P. Henderson, Will
Achenbic'n, Al Hague, Sid Elkin, A. N.
Leecraft, Watt and Charlie Smti.h.

BEAL E8TATE EXCHANGE.
. A largely attended meeting of real
estate men was held at the office of J, J.
Fairbanks, in the Munson build-ing, Tues-
day morning, its purpose being that ot
establishing a rea! estate exchange. The
exchange was organized by the election
of the following officers: W. h, Mun-
son, president; A. H. Coffin, vice-presi-
dent, and R. S. Legate, secretary and
treasurer. —The organization has /or its
object the protection of real estate inter-
ests and the promotion ot the city’s gen-
eral interests, it is expected that all the
principal real estate brokers will become
members.
A CHASE.
Parties at, work in the neighborhood of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad
freight depot Mondav evening were star-
tled by a number of pistol shots up on
Houston avenue and the song ot the bul-
lets as they whistled over the freight
wharf. Everybody thought tor the mo-
ment that there was a killing in progress,
but developments showed that it was only
an attempt on the part of Deputy Sheriff
East and officer John James to intimidate
the festive and warlike Jim Boling whom
they were attempting to" arrest. Jim was
fined in the cqunty court recently, and
failing to put up the collateral as per
agreement the officers were instructed to
gather him in. They found him easy-
enough but as they were taking him
down to the Sherman train he gave them
the slip and bolted up Houston avenue
with considerable haste. The officers
followed, calling upon James to stop and
discharging their pistols in the air, but
when officer James discovered that he
paid about as much attention to their
commands and fusilade as he did to the
sighing of the zephyrs, he gathered him-
self together tor the race and was not
long in overhauling him. Mr. Boling
will now put up the amount ot his fine.
Twenty rolls carpet, assorted
qualities, worth from 35 to 50 cents
juer yard, will be ottered next Mon-
day at 25 cents per yard for cash,
at Beirne & Stenson's. j

SHE.
Gilbert & Dickson’* “big soectacular
company” consisting of eight people,
almost one half of whom are actors, pre-
sented to a fairly good house at the Me
Dougall Saturday night week a dramati-
zation (»o called) of 11. Rider Haggard’*
weird and wonderful novel, She. Had
H. Rider Haggard known that Messrs.
Gilbert & Dickson were going to drama-
tize hi* book It is not likely that She
would ever have been written. At least
we do not think it would, tor it is hard
to conceive of a man (novelist though he
be) so lost to human feeling as to bring
a calamity like this-upon a people when
by any ordinary personal sacrifice he
could avoid it. That Mr. Haggard did
not reserve and jealouslv protect the dra-
matic copyright ot this boik is a matter
that has been generally deprecated, but
that he failed id do so in the case of
Messrs. Gilbert & Dickson particularly,
was an act of criminal negligence which
the public would be more than human to
forgive. We are not naturally disposed
to be malcontent or exacting,"but as we
sat in the theatre Saturday night and
watched the “big spectacular company”
in that hopeless ssruggle with illuminat-
ing chemicals and the perverseness ot an
amateurish inexperience that would not
let them act, no matter how hard they
tried, we could not quite restrain a cer-
tain feeling of resentment at the fate
which chained us to misery like that,
while Mr. Haggard—the primary cause ot
our suffering—was peimitted to go scott
free. Having premised thus much we
may state, without startling the reacer
unduly, that She, as presented at the Mc-
Dougall Saturday night, is not a very
good play. Also that its mounting was
not altogether unimpeachable, consider-
ing the piece as a spectacle. Also that
its stage management was a trifle “leary”
and also that the acting ot nearly every-
body connected with the production was
considerably below the standard, by
which we usually measure first-class
artists. In tact, anything quite so hol-
low, pointless and futile as the pano-
rama of scenes by which the coilaborators
have attempted to illustrate this weird
and mystical story, it has seldom
been our misfortune to encounter.
I hat the ample but unvarying materi-
als ot Rider Haggsrd’s book can be made
really (interesting and effective upon the
stage either in a histrionic or spectacular
sense we do not believe. Of dramatic
opportunity these materials present but
little, and that little is so widely distrib-
uted and so hopelessly narative in form
as to render cogent and coherent adjust-
ment well-nigh impossible. In a spectacu-
lar sense the opportunities are large, but
not varied. Fire is necessarily the denomi-
nating feature of every scene, and there is
consequently a monotony ot form
and color. The greusome and
the ^ grotesq ue abound to the ex-
clusion of all other impressive
characteristics, and the conflagrational
revel of fiash-box and flambeau is apt to
become an intolerable bore ere the end
of half the five acts of spectacular an-
archy. From this array of elemental
materials Messrs. Gilbert & Dickson have
evolved a theatrical query whose power
to fatigue arid distress an audience simp-
ly eludes description. The first act
which deals with the wreck of the Arab
vessel, is a transcription of the second
act of The World, even to the incorpora-
tion of portions of the ostensibly tunny
dialogue. The statement ot Dennis
(when told by Hollv to get on his sea-
legs) that he “would rather see land,"
we greeted as an old and familiar ac
quaintance, and Holly’s prescription of a
“nice big piece ot tat pork” as a cure
i°r Dennis sea sickness could scarcely
have been more nauseating to that indi-
vidual than it was to the audience. The
wreck of the vessel was about as unskil-
fully managed as the act was badly
played. With the rise ot the curtain upon
the second act the reign of lycopodium set
in, and trom that to the bitter end, which
was reached about 11 o’clock, red fire
was about all there was to be seen. Any-
thing like an intelligent understanding
of the action was frustrated through the
involved and ramb ing arrangement
ot the scenes. When the stage was
not a smelting furnace it was a howling
wilderness of chumps and supes. Fre”
quently it was both. A half-doven naked
and blood thirsty Amahaggers (five of
them being local auxiliaries who never
before faced the footlights) would come
out and jump around in a listless and
down-trodden manner, brandishing short
tin-pointed spears, and, in obedience to
the audible and profane commands of the
stage manager, giving vent to an occa-
sional subdued and diffident yell. Then
Billali, who did not know his lines, would
appear and recite, alter the prompter, a
lew sentences about She who must be
obeyed and when he and the Irishman had
got the audience sufficiently near the
verge of nervous collapse, Eustane would
come on with her lover to finish them. As
presented by Miss Annie Gardiner, Eus-
tane’s amorous wiles become about as un-
tempting as anything we have seen in the
same line, and Leo’s unresisting surren-
der to them showed a desire to carry out
the purpose ot the author, that was more
heroic than in good taste. She, in killing
Eustane when she did, conferred an un-
speakable boon upon ihe audience, but
she would have emphasized the favor
materially had she done the killing 1 little
earlier. The wiping out ot Eustane’s tair
young life was the most meritorious and
taking feature of the performance but we
think its success could be considerably
improved by having it take place at the
other end of the play. Far be it from us
to rejoice in the death ot any young wo-
man, but it were better infinite'lv that one
would-be actress should perish than that
a whole community should be assassinated
by her acting. Frank McKee, in the
character ot, Dennis the Irish servant,
was a trifle less bad than his part hut he
carried about upon the stage an apologetic
and apprehensive air, as who should sav,
“This show is a guy and I know it, but
please don’t shy any of your vegetables at
me.” His frequent allusion to egg-, in
connection with the' t ame, “Amahag-
gers, made his apprehensive appearance
additionally suggestive As an offset to
this generally unfavorable comment it is
but fair to state that Miss Alice Marion,
in the character of She, was fully equal to
every requirement of tne rol’e. She
looked the part beyond ail cavil, posed
with admirable grace and statuesqueness
and declaimed with intelligence and et-
tect. Her acting, wherever she had an>
to do, was also notably satistactorv.
Whatever Messrs. Gilbert and Dickson
may be as actors thev made but a faint
showing in Saturday night's performance.
It is but justice, however, to state that no-
body could have made anything of their
feeble meandering parts. ' John Murphy,
who p’aved' Palestro the leader of the
cannibals, acted as though he might have
had some experience in pantomime but
his part (which the authors had made to
talk one minute in pure English and the
next in a hideous jargon) was one which
nobody could have made effective. Some
of the tableaus were measurably pretty,
but the scenery was all of the "cheapest
and most tawdry stamp and the produc-
tion, as stated before, unpardonable ill-
managed.
IVY LEAF.
The wind and rain ol Wednesday night
had the eftect of keeping many awav from
the opera house, but it did not dampen
the enthusiasm awakened bv the presen-
tation of Con T. Murphy’s beautiful Irish
idyl, The Ivy Leaf bv W. H. Power’s ex-
cellent company. A beautiful plav, ap-
propriately staged,skillfully managed and
splendidly acted—this must have been the
verdict ot everyone fortunate enough to
have been present at Wednesday night’s
production. The province of the critic
is indeed a pleasant one, when, with ref-
erence to company and piece alike, he is
its bosom the laughing ripples of wit and
humor. A local critic said the play was
very good, but was not very brilliant. He
meant to say that it was not sententious
and declamatory. It is as far from the
turgid emanations that this critic it fond
of glorifying, as Sweet Lavender is re-
mote from Paul Kauver, but in this very
suppression of demonstrative incident
lies all its beauty and a very great measure
ot it* strength. It may come a trifle
short in the matter ot those lurid effects
which win the applause of our evening
contemporary, but on the side of it*
humor, its pathos and its characteriza-
tion, it is essentially strong. The acting
of the company was an example ot that
trained co-operation and evenly balanced
achievement which we have "heretofore
been disappointed in expecting trom
traveling attractions, not backed bv such
liberal managements as J. M. Hill, A.
M. Palmer, Wm. Gillett, or similar dis-
tinguished commanders in the manager-
ial field. There was no straining tor
points anywhere, everything that was
done being in the direction ot harmonv
and general effect. Mr. Smith O’Brien,
as Murty Keerigan, had most to do and
was seen most Dy the audience, but it
would be injudicious to sav that
he did any better than a halt" dozen
other able actors did with their part*.
The several comico-sentimenta! episodes
witli Maureen Deelish he made (with the
assistance of Miss Clara Coleman) de-
lightfully naif and entertaining, and
threw into his one strong scene, in the
fourth act, a force and pathos that were
effective and true. Miss Mav Levton
plaved Coiice O'Brien with a dainty in-
telligence that won all hearts and em-
bodied the author’s brave, yet maidenly
heroine, with unerring truth and telicitv.
In the Ivy tower scene she sang the
pathetic little song, the “Ivy Leat” in a
rich contralto voice, and with a feeling
earnestness that atoned tor her rather de-
fective phrasing, Mr. Wm. L. Flynn had
but little to do as Colice’s lover, Gerald
Daly, but that little he did in a manly
and engaging way. Mr. Cromie Hvnson
made Robert Nolan, the ioose-moraled but
somewhat undecided villian that the author
evidently intended while Barney Rey-
nolds, gave unction and toothsomeness
to the utterly unthinking malignity of
his henchman, Dennis Donnavin. Little
Lottie Matthews was clever as the child
Noreen O’Brien, Miss Coleman notably
frolicsome and winning as the Irish
coleen, and Mrs. Owen Ferree bland and
matronly as Mrs. Deelish. Much of the
scenery carried by the company being too
long it was found impossible to mount it,
but there was still enough put up to
make the piece successful in a scenic
sense. The Ivy tower, the home of the
Deelish’*, the Eagle’s Crag, and the
flight of the great bird, carrying the
child, Noreen, were all seen and were
very cleverly worked. The specialties
were all meritorious and characteristic,
and the singing ot the Ivy Leaf quartette
altogether tine. W. S. Pollard, the second
bass of this combination, possesses a
voice of wonderful quality, power and
flexibility, and his associates are ail able
singers. The excellent impression made
by Mr. Powers Ivy Leaf Combination
will not soon be effaced, and when we
are visited by his Fairies’ Well Company,
in March next, it will redound to his ad-
vantage.
WILSON’S MINSTRELS.
We otten have to plead inclement
weather or muddy streets as an excuse
for small houses at our local theatre, but
when minstrels (and George Wilson’s
minstrels particularly) are the attraction
the excuse is unnecessary. Nor was this
condition altered on last Thursday- night
when the felicitious George and his burnt
cork band held minstrel revelry behind
the footlights of the McDougall. The
night without was damp and threatening,
the streets were aswitn rvith mud but the
house was packed, and everybody was
apparently in the proper mood "to be
pleased. We record the latter tact more
by way of rounding the sen ence
than to record an essential fact,
for whatever might have been the
mood of the audience before the curtain
went up, pleasure would necessarily
have followed that eventuality. The
picture upon which the curtain rose was
unquestionably the richest, most elegant
and beautiful piece of stage setting that
has ever been seen in this city in min-
strelsy. The plush, velvet and satin cur-
tains, the overhanging canopies of manv
colored muslins, the twenty odd “black
face’s” in jockv costume, with the num-
erous orchestra in red uniform, towering
above all, made a picture which delighted
while it filled the eye and, for a minute,
the opening strains of the overture were
drowned by the plaudits of the spectators
This overture, which is naivelv denomi-
nated “The Race” to correspond of
course with the “Derby Day” first part,
is a clever adjustment of words to
Bucallossi’s “Hunting Scene,” the final
gallop being omitted, ard to those
familiar with the merits ot this
piece as a descriptive composition it is
unnecessary- to state that it was decidedly
effective. . Everything that followed the
overture was of the highest minstrel
stamp. The eccentric and topical funni-
ments of George Wilson and Lew Bene-
dict wete up to the well known standard
of these popular entertainers, and if Wil-
son hadn’t said “to-morrow” we might
have had to record an achievement well
beyond his accepted record. Hi Tom
Ward, an old favorite with lovers ot
“silent tun,’* displayed an unexpected
ability as a merry-maker upon the end,
his tun being of anything but a silent
character. Of the ballad singing the et
torts of Will Walling in "Little Darling
Now Good Bye” and Thomas Lewis’
“Light ot My Lite,” were the best and
fully deserved the enthusiastic applause
with which they were received. We are
tree to admit "that the words of such
songs as “Little Darling,” etc., are little
less to us than nauseating, but the ex-
quisite vocalHv and taste displayed bv
Mr. Walling in the rendering ot the really
pretty air, coupled with the harmonic
beauty ot the orchestration, quite over-
came our prejudice. The topical dities of
Ward. Wilson and Benedict were til quite
amusing, but the “Not Always” of the
latter must be given first place. The vocal
quartette and sextette were the best that
have been heard in the city and the
concerted singing reached "its climax
in the magnificent rendering, bv
the sextette, , ot the great set-
ting for baritone and chorus “Crown-
ed With the Tempest'” trom Ernani.
The rendering of this number by the
minstrels was notably fine, while its ar-
rangement and orchestration reflects
eminent credit upon Mr. C. F. Shattuck,
tne arranger. The burlesque comic-
opera, "The Oolah or Brigands in Clo-
ver,” was a very laughable divertissement,
and also, introduced a number of the
popular airs from the three operas
named in the title. The Kinness
was one ot the strong terpsichorean
features, as was also Hi Torn Ward’s
mazy passe temfis “Dancing on the
Beach. ’ Howe and Wall caught on with
a verv novel and entertaining eccentric
musical melange, and Orion, Hi Tun
ard and the Fulton Bros, wound up
the entertainment with an exhibition of
bonelessness that was inimitable. Alto-
gether the pertorn.ance was a big suc-
cess, and will add to George Wilson’s
already eminent popularity in this com-
munity.
LA BELLE MARIK.
A small house greeted Miss Agnes
Herndon and company at the McDougall
Friday night. La Belle Marie can scarcely
be called a good plav, though in certain
ot its phases it is a distinctly strong one.
Its interest is a trifle spasmodic and rather
widely distributed. Its action is a little
loose jointed and lacking in sustained ef-
fect and many ot its incidents have but
little excuse tor existence bevond the evi-
dent#desire ot the author that they shall
take place. This author has demonstrated
himselt to be more clever in providing
his characters with something to sav than
in giving them something compelling to
do and much of the talk intended to as-
sist the central interest and tend to the
development ot the storv frustrates the
end in view. This verdict might be some-
what modified upon a hearing ot the piece
as written, but as cut to fit the not verv
numerous company of Friday night "a
large amount ot the dialogue and subsi-
j diary action seems superfluous and

the Gazetteer scribe indites his
opinion ot this performance. The
play cannot claim any striking orig-
inality . in the matter ot plot,
but in dialogue, incident and action there
is perceptible that refinement of treat-
ment and insight into human motives
which distinguish the skilled dratnatic
author from the ordinary nailer up of
plays. The play is a fair example ot the
type which Boucicault has made familiar,
and possesses the Boucicaultian clever-
ness of dileneation without that author’s
rather inevitable red coat and mortgaged-
homestead materials. Its story is a
stream, flowing in a rather familiar chan-
nel, but reflecting in its depths the subtle
half light of romance, and bearing upon
r - ------ ---- sug
..... • ,--------------» — I gests the adv sability of still further exci-
permtued to speak in terms qt well-nigh | sions. A melo-dramatic play with sixteen
unqualified praise and it is with teelings I speaking parts is rather much ot a luxury
no less pleasant than (alas) novel that j upon the road and judicious pruning
will make La Belle Marie not only more
compact >n interest and action but much
more valuable in a commetcia! sense.
The predominant character and the one
which gives the piece its title has man^
attributes to commend it to the approval
ot an actress ambitious to excel in charac-
ter delineation or in the condign emo-
tional. Love, humiliation, dispair, agony,
desperation, recklessness, dissimulation,
defiance, vindictiveness, hate, remorse
and true womanliness are blended in nice
gradation in the many sided role. Re-
venge may not be a very loftv motive,
but it is a very dramatic one,
and in the case ot" La Belle Marie is
made the incentive in several moving
scenes and altogether effective climaxes.
The author has apparently recognized I
the difficulty of making a flashily dressed
adventuress interesting, through tour acts
ot intrigue, intimidation and defiance,
and, as an offset to the disenchantment
of her cruel beauty and wicked laugh,
gives us an early glimpse of her true
woman’s heart, winning us back to sym-
pathy with her sobs and tea's. Miss
Herndon is beautiful—the measure of
her good looks could scarcely be convey-
ed bv any other word—and her artistic
equipment for the enactment ot strong
melodramatic rcles is undeniable. There
will come a time when, to the vigor and
vitality of Miss Herndon's work, there
will be added a little more repose and
artistic color, hut the charming woman-
hood and compelling personality with
which she invests and dominates her
roles will scarce need to be heightened.
In the first act,up to the moment ot utter
ing the curse, she wa* gentle, reserved
and. maidenly, and in all the exacting
scene* which followed, she wa» eminent- 1
ly satisfactory, F-he was called before
the curtain at the conclusion ot the first,
second and fouith acts. Ot her company
we have nothing to say in dispraise, be- -
yond the fact that one member—a voung
l*dy—was evidently trying to get through '
her part on one reading, and a couple ot
others were a trifle uncertain in their<|
lines. It would b»* interesting to see
Miss Herndon under circumstances which
should be wholly favorable to an exhibi- I
tion of her undoubted talent, and the '
Gazetteer hopes that Gate City theatre-
goers have not seen the last ot her force- !
tul and excellent acting.

°* 7Uat CONDENSATIONS.
LILLI A\ LEWIS.
The Gazetteer is never loth to extend |
the courtesies ot the press to m-ritoriou*
theatrical attractions but it takes an
especial pleasure in calling attention to
the coming appearance ot Miss Lillian
Lewis at the McDougall Opera House
next Wednesday night. This charming
woman and superb actress esme to us last
year with the smallest amount ot herald-
ing that an artiste of ability has ever re-
ceived, and in two magnificent and vital
impersonations won all that was ot criti
cal praise and local popularity Her
Cora, in Article 47, still stirs our blood
with its consummate art and awtul realism
and her Lena I>esparJ lingers in our
thoughts as the most pathetic of theatri-
cal remembrances it is to the latter im-
personation that Miss Lewis’ manager
will invite the public attention on Wed-
nesday night. This great creation was
seen by a large contingent of Denison
playgoers on the occasion ot Miss Lewis’
return engagement last winter hut, as in-
timated in these columns at the time,
under circumstances notahlv disadvan-
tageous and amid a poverty stiicken en-
tourage sadly out ot keeping with the op-
portunities ot the piece and the trans-
cendent abilities of the star. On this
occasion, however, the Gazetteer is
pleased to state that the surroundings will
be worthy of the artiste, and it at the
scenes will appeal to the e»e with Ihe
same eloquence that the central imper-
sonation will to the heart. All the special
scenery and exquisite stage settings used
in the elaborate production at the Star
Theatre, New York, last spring will be
present in the presentation on Wednesday
night and that the storv thus illuminated
and impressed will be in effect a new
revalation, it is ea»y to conceive. It mav
be urged that a clever star and elaborate
scenic effects do not constitute the entire
sum of a successful dramatic production,
but our announcement is not vet finished.
We have yet to add that Miss Lewis is
this^eason surrounded by a company ot
metropolitan actors specially adapted to
the roles they assume in this stirring play,
which being the case a production ot un-
equalled merit and beauty is assured. As
in A Looking Glass Wednesday night,
vyith Miss Lewis as Lena Despard, should
fill the McDougall to its seating limit,
and the Gazetteer takes courage from
the unequalled local popularity ot the
ladv and her manager to predict that it
will.
OTHELLO, THE MOOR.
X.ast night was a fearful one. The
storm king was holding high carnival, rain
pouring, the streets running with water
and lightning flashing, but all the demon-
strations ot the elements tailed lo keep a
goodly crowd from attending the presen-
tation of Shakespcre’s greatest tragedy
Othello, by two of the mimic stage's
favored artists, Prescott and McLean. It
is useless to speak of their merits to Fort
Smithian*. The question ot their ability
and talent has been settled loug ago and
that to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Suffice it to say that Othello as given last
night is far ahead ot anything ot the kind
yet given in this city. McLean as Othello
was simply grand and his death at the
close of the last act was a fitting climax
to the life ot jealous misery which Iago
had made for him. Miss Prescott as the
treacherous, hypocritical Iago was a gen-
uine success. Coupled with her ability to
act the part to perfection she possesses a
woman's keen knowledge of character
which enab es her to bring out phases ot
character of honest Iago which are liable
to escape a masculine delineator ot the
part The verdict upon last night’s per-
formance is one ot universal satisfaction
and when next Miss Prescott and Mr.
McLean visit Fort Smith thev mav be
sure ot a hearty welcome.—Fort Smith

We never perfectly realize how depiora-
ably the city is lacking in the matter ot
good sidewalks until we come to tace a
week ot continued wet weather. The past
week has given us an experience that
ought to be profited by. There is alrso-
lutelv no sidewalks in the citv worth talk-
ing about ott Main street, and all tbe fuss
in the Council about enforcing the con-
struction ot walks has gone tor nothing.
There is nothing in the world that Deni-
son is so deficient in as in good sidewalks
and there seems to be nothing in which
her citizens manifest so much apathy as
in improvements of this character.
