larce and fashionable audience grootod t'llnr-
lotte Cushman last oyoning ut MoVich"r'"
Theatre On tue occasion Of her Appearance aa
Lady Macbeth. A1uoh has been expected of l!nr
in this character, and She must havo boon aoao-
thing moro than humln to havo furnished IL
realization OF all that WAS looked for Fitting
representatives OF this role are 10 raro In this
ago and generation that it il not Usual to find
any clearly defined idea as to the bost approved
manner OF treating this extraordinary olaractor
creation. Therefore Il may be presumed that
Miss Cushman WAS expected not only toprosont
have preceded hor, but also to bring
forward conception and interpretation
OF tho role almost wholly now. In this thero
was left but slight occaaion for disappointment.
Miss Cushman's Lady 1acbeth is peculiarly and
distinctively her own, differing widely from all
others. It is essentially C. masterpiece OF light
and shade, bestowed and arranged by tho gonius
OF great artist-he1s fierce, fearless nature
urging on the vacillatng coward to a bloody
deed, and thore the lender, worshipful wife,
soothing her lord with all womans softness ::
now exerting her utmost power to instil into his
norve1ess will somewhat Of her own mighty
courage, and again relapsing into utter Weakness
and prostration at the knowledge Of the terrible
ravages remorso is making upon him. It is not
until the sleep-walking scene that she reaches the
EXTREMIST heights Of dramatic power. In all that
procedes tho effect is not wholly perfect. The
voice and face and hair (for she wears no wig)
show age beyond that which We have been &C
customed to associate with Lady Macbeth, the
disparity being nor, et.farent that Macbeth is
mado to appear man ID the prime of life; but
in the eleop-walking scene al these peculiarities
seem to ft the occasion with singular e1actness,
and, allied to the wonderful art Of the actross,
serve to complete q portraiture Of thrilling in
tensity. Miss Cushman was warmly applauded
from beginning to end, ,i,3 was twice called be-
foro the curtain. Her support Was, in the main,
excellent, and the piece was finely put upon the
stage.

A SERIOUS DISTURBANCE,
Two Gamblers Refuse to Leave tho
Cars when Ordered G11t-.-3 Conflict
and the Result.

Two Gamblers Refuse to Leave tho
Cars when Ordered Cat-.A Conflict
and the RcBult.
From, the Omaha Herald, Dcc g.
Some time ago, the Union Pacific Railroad and
the Omaha Bridge Transfer Company deter
m:2ed to make an earnest and practical effort to
prevent gambling in ttcir cars. They issued
orders to all conductors to put gamblers of from
ail their trains, and # they had any question rs
to the legal aspects Of tie matter they deter
mined to take their chances.
Last evening when the time came for the
o'clock transfer train to leave tho Union Pacific
depot, the conductor, Mr.. John Staley, discoy-
cred two we'll known gamblers eeated in . car.
They are known hero by the names Of Big Matt
and John Sullivan. The conductor told them they
must quit tie train, and they assured him that
they were passengers and that they must cross
the river in that train. They would not leave,
and they did not believe they could DO put out.
The conductor called On Captain Paine, 1, the
accompanied by other railroad employees, enter
ed the car again. Captain Paino advanced to
Big Matt to arrest or remove him, and took hold
of his shoulder. at this Matt strucka blow with
o revolver which he hold in his hand and cut d
deep and ugly cash over Captain Paine's right
eye. The gamblers then cooked their pistols
and backed into corner, from which they could
not be removed without blodshcd. The railroad
men then went to the depot for weapons, and to
await orders to suit the emergency, Which, as
will be seen, had now como to be serious. It
then looked as If blood must bo shed, or the com
pany back down from its order.
A telegram was sert to Superintendent Shelby
askinc ,cstr' ctions. He ordered the conductor
to take u .cient forco Of employees arm them.
and eject the gamblers from the car. The clerks
at the depot Office were then provided with
loaded pistols, and accompanied The conductor
and Captain Paino back to the car. Meantime
the gamblers had left, and tie train. we'll guard
ed with the armed clerks, crossed the river
without them. We EI;e since learned that Big
Matt and Lis companion CLOSED the river on the
ice.
Marshal Kimbau repaired to the bridge on the
first intiEation which lie received Of the trouble
there. It is scarcely necessary to cay that he
coronetent forca under lis command to do go.
II Big Matt o. Sullivan return to Nebraska they
will bo arrested.

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or Inflammation
Of the bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. 1t arises
from cold settled in the throat, from
Catarrh extending to these parts, from
scrofulous affections, and from severe
use of the voice. The irritation from
this latter cause commences in the
larynr and glots, which are the organs of
the voice, and, extending downwards,
produces hoarseness, coughing, and
splitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. 1t is chiefly danger.
Gus from its tendency to spread into the
lungs, and terminate in consumption.
1t is in the cure Of severe
and obstinate cases Of this dis.
ease that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery has achieved unparalleled
success, and won the loudest praise from
all who have used it. 1t is sold by all
respectable Druggists. 5S4
