Corresponding Secretary,
Mrs. +. =. Chanfrau.

Of this lady. who will shortly appear at
the Academy of Music, Northern journal
says:
Mrs. F. S. Chanfrau, wife Of the popular
comedian of that name. commences here
this evening brief engagement of six
nights and one matinee. She holds prom
inent position among the best artists Of the
day, as an actress Of exceeding power and
refinement, and in certain characters, SINH
lar to that in which she is to appear to-
night, is without an equal on either side of
one of the most accomplished leaders in her
profession. Dora" which is to be given
this evening, Is play OF great attractive
ness, and III New York and Boston COM
manded the highest critical applause.
1t is by Charles Reade, the novelist, who
adapted for his plot Tennyson's charming
idyl OF the same title, and shows off his skill
as dramatist to the best advantage. The
heroine OF the play is in Mrs. Chanfrau's
happiest vein. and she has accordingly won,
III It's performance. one Of her most famous
triuInphs. Mr.. Forney. writing of it in his
Washington organ, the Chronicle. thus COM
mends the persOnation:
Charles Reade's drama of Dora was
witnessed bya fine audience. whose delight
in tie performance was fairly divided be-
tween the beauty of the play and the ex-
quisite excellence of Mrs. Chanfrau's per
sonation OF its heroine. 1t would be diff
cult TO conceive a nearer approach of
artistic stimulation to the truth of nature
than Mrs. Chantiau achieves in this charm
ing effort. 1t is a revelation of genius, so
fresh and beautiful in its simple grace that
the heart and mind of the auditor are
equally won 70 its admiration. We can
now well understand the notable success
which attended and honored her perform
ance of this character in Boston, and recog-
nlze the entire justice Of the critical APP
pause which there hailed it as perfect
triumph of art. 1t is privilege to have
witnessed it. and those who shall here miss
the opportunity of seeing 1t will deny them
selves one of the richest and purest eniov-
ments which the stage is capable of con
ferring.
The play is one of refreshing beauty. and
illustrates with rare eloquence the power OF
the drama TO touch the sympathies and to
refine the heart

4aconistic thereto. This is not true. The
Republican party, Of which this COM
mittee is the head, and to which the State
officials give allegiance, will, under all
circumstances, stand firm and true with
the national Republican organization,
and guarantee Louisiana for Grant If it is
the expressed desire of the party, IN con-
vention assembled, that he be reelected
to the Presidency.
Finally, your State Central Committee

be no compromise with treason, but, with
the watchword, Eternal vigilance is the

The causes for which Mohammedan
woman may demand Il divorce are clearly
and broadly laid down in the Koran, and
her evidence is sufficient. because the Mo
hammedan law supposes that a woman
must be violently aggravated before the
modcsty of her sex will allow her to appear
in public with such application. So careful
IS the law to spare her feelings that she is
net even required to recount her injuries,
unless of her own free will All she is to do
is 70 place her slipper reversed-that is,
with the sole upward-before the cadi. and
the case is finished. The divorce is granted
without further inquiry.

of the Tammany frauds. Here are some
of his conclusions:
In the first place, the exposure which
We made of the armories swindle" is
fully verified. Rents are still being
paid for armories and drill-rooms which
cannot be found, for others which are
unoccupied, and for all on scale which
must astound property-owners in the

The New York Printing Company is
admitted to have received sl42, 991 81
in three months, and advertising the
November election in the Ring papers
COS. the tax payers 1921 90.
g If the bond accounts include every
issue now outstanding, the country has
S23, 436, $50 still to pay. The grand
total of the figures we publish to day is
50, 49, 26-and the sheets show
about four millions more, "A large portion
of which is for salaries of county officers
and clerks"
All this, it is to be remembered, is
CLEANED from the official statement of
Comptroller Connolly himself. The
figures are themselves commentary
upon ID mocratic' government which
no words could render more significant
And when we consider how much Is
still hidden, which may vet be revealed,
the self confessed corruption Of the New
York rulers becomes fairly appalling.
