MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC
Mrs. Bowers as "Donna Diana"

Mrs. Bowers as "Donna Diana"
Lively intrigue is the most marked characterA
istic of Spanish comedy, and there Is always a
we'll defined plot and busy flow of incidents
which make them particularly effective in repre-
sentation upon the stage. There is very little
character painting in the Spanish drama,
whereas in the best English works character
rather than plot is considered of importance.
But for stage purposes and for the entertain
mept of average audiences the Spanish pieces
have many advantages. Their construction is
generally exceedingly artistic, and the plot and
counterplot and rapid movement that distin-
guish them render them vastly amusing.
LoUe'S Masquerade the comedy in which Mrs.
ID. p. Bowers appeared last evening at the
Walnut, is an adaptation of one of the most
famous Spanish classic plays, the Disdain Met
eih Disddia of Moreto. 1t is one of the most
brilliant pieces that has be en- given to the Eng
disappearing stage of late years, and it is so
exceedingly entertaining that 1t is remarkable
it does not attract crowded houses whenever it
Is acted. The idea is that of proud lady who
scorns love as an idle passion being subdued by
an assumption of pride on the part of her lover,
and the conflict of wits between "Donna Diana
and "Don Cesar" who may almost be described
as Spanish counterparts of Beatrice" and
'Benedck, give rise to a succession of brilliant
principal characters some admirable opportuni-
ties. ''Diana" is one of Mrs. Bowers finest
parts, and her delineation of the conflicting
emotions inspired in the breast of the naughty
beauty whose disdain is conquered by the dis
dain of her sutor is artistic in the
extreme. The role is one In which
capable actress cannot fail to
Agure to advantage, and Mrs. Bowers makes the
most of the many opportunities 1t presents. Mr..
McColom, who played the part of 'Don Caesar"
last night is not capable of doing it justice. He
lacks entirely the light, airy grace that it re-
quires, and while his performance was not with
out merit, 1t was not strikingly excellent. Mr..
Walcot represented "Perin," the secretary of
'Diana, and the confidant of the two lovers, by
whose assistance the thread of the plot is
woven and then unravelled again, most admirably,
and his acting was as graceful and elegant as
Mr.. McCollom's was heavy and lacking in fine,
ness.

We make the following extracts from
the Report of the Grand Jury, submit
tel at the recent Term of the Court for
Lancaster County:
'Respectfully report, that we have

and nothing to prevent hogs, goats and
cattle from entering the basement of
the Court House and defiling the same
The passage running through the base
ment may be said to be filthy. The
offices of the Judge of Probate, of the
Sheriff, and of the Clerk, all need ad-
ditional furniture, in order that the rec
ords may be more neatly kept and bet
ter preserved. The Court room is not
in proper condition for holding court.
There should be blinds to the windows
to protect the glass in stormy weather,
and to keep out the heat OF the sun i'm
warm weather, and there should be q
good substantial carpet on the floor of
the courtroom, and there should he

for the members OF the Bar and the
Juries. In all of the above particulars
the Grand Jury would recommend 10
the County Commissioners reform, anl
they would further recommend to the
Clerk of the Court to keep the court
room locked when court is not i'm ses-
sion, and to prohibit the holding of tab
leauxs, and other public gatherings in
the courtroom, calculated toiniuTe and
abuse the furniture.
The GrandJury would recommend
that n neat fence be constructed around
the back yard OF the court house, and
that steps be substituted for gates, so as
to prevent the ingress. of stock and
that shade trees be planted in the back
yard rs in the front.
The Grand Jury after an inspeption
of the court house, have come To tile
conclusion that the same is liable to fall
down and is unsafe for large crowd
owing to the large. cracks in the outer
walls and they would recommend to
the County commissioners to call In an

this, that they arc not sufficiently eN-

The Grand Jury would further rec
omniend Chat legislation be had to pre-
vent the sale of spurious liquors on
