WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The Department OF
Agriculture. in its cotton report for June,
states that the threatened reduction in area
has not taken place nor has the reduced area
of last year been much enlarged. The re-
ported increase is between one and two per
cent. The comparison with last year is as
follows North Carolina, 102; South Carolina,
l06; Georgia, So; Florida, 80; Alabama, 104;
Mississippi, 1902; Louisiana, 1Ol Texas. 108;
Arkansas, 101; Tennessee, ". The report OF
the condition is the most favorable in the
East Ave seasons, with the exception of that Of
1872. .ea. Isl
The order of procedure in this respect is
1872, 1876, 1872. 1875, 1873, 1871, 1874
Though planting was late, and the soil gener-
ally too wet and cold for rapid termination,
the stand is comparatively good, and the re-
cent weather has been favorable to rapid
growth. The crops also are unusually clean.
The comparison with crop of full vitality
and normal growth In all respects, or for thu
present month as follows: North Carolina SO
South Carolina 81, Georgia 81, Florida "a

THE SOUTHERN DRAMATIC CLUB.

Quite large audience was present last
night at she ST. Charles Theater, to witness
the first complimentary performance given
this season by the Southern Dramatic Club.
The play was entitled Separated by Death, ="
and is q clever dramatization of the story of
"A Mans Folly" The young author is
member of the club, and gave to it the priv
ilege Of first producing his work. The story
is Of the latter-day character, and has the
usual elements of love- temptation and tri-
umph, all, however, woven very neatly into
drama, and presenting as an entirety very
plausible and effective play.
OF the performance itself We have much to
say of praise and but little of censure.
The smooth manner in which every
thing worked reflected great credit upon the
actors and the manager. There were no awk-
ward stage waits, nor bungling "sticks," to
mar the pleasure of the evening, but all
seemed thorough in their parts and ambitious
to do WELL
The author of the play, Mr.. B. P. Colinsky,
took prominent part, and acted it SO neatly
that we were really surprised when We were
told that it was his first appearance on any
stage. His rendition OF the loving yet doubt
| ing Max Werter would have done credit to q
much older amateur, and his performance
was such that, in all candor, we can say that
both as an author and actor he is to be cred
tied with great success.
The Philip Rand of Mr.. ]. B. Cefalu, al
though thankless one, was conscientious
performance, and entities the gentleman to
much praise Mr.. Stevenson, as Peyton
Reede was very clever, and made the villain
character of the play prominent one. The
comedian of the Club, Mr.. s. j. Cohen, was
very happy in the performance of Silas John
Creeper, the man of many vocations. The
hearty laughs which we're freely given by his
auditors gave ample testimony Of their appre-
| citation.
Miss Amelia Waugh assisted the gentlemen
of the club materially by her admirable per-
Torrance of Gypsy Rande, the heroine of the
plav. The little scope afforded by the part
for the exercise of this lady's ability was
taken advantage of, and her entire perform
ance was, very excellent. The closing scene
of the se0ond act was the occasion Of fine
display OF histrionic ability by the lady as well
as by Mr.. Colinsky, and the recall which
brought them before the curtain was well de.
served.
Mrs. J. R. Vernon as Polly Butt, the de-
voted Irish girl, made genuine hit, and was
frequently accorded the loud applause of the
laudience. The entire performance was yer,
successful, and despite the intense heat o
the evening the audience showed no signs o
|. fatigue, but sat to the end and left highl,
gratifed with their evenings visit.

and Mrs. :

Mrs. ----, who had
been visiting the Convent Of the holy Cross,
hailed red Car coming up Dauphine street
when about square from the Convent, and
on entering the car found United States
soldier stretched out on the seat in beastly
state of intoxication.
The ladies would have left the Car at once,
but that they observed police officer stand
ing on the platform with the driver, and. con-
sequently, felt secure, supposing, OF course,
that he would promptly prote 1t them from In
suit or ANNOYANCE at the hands OF the drunken
soldier or any one else. Scarcely had they
been seated when the ladies observed that the
police officer was also drunk.
He at once proceeded by look and manner
to grossly and wantonly insult them, and so
frightened them that Mrs. ------
puiied the bell strap and, without waiting for
| the car to stop, both ladies jumped there
| from while the car was in full motion, an
they were greatly injured in falling, Mrs.

confined to bed.
You can readily perceive how drunken

| In the peril of the moment they failed to
notice the pcliceman's number, neither do
they know the number Of the car. Police
officers are paid by the citizens for the pur-
pose of protecting ladies and others from in

and any officer conducting himself in the

and iustifes the public in regarding with

UNDER WHICH KING, BENZO-
MAN!
A Gentle WOOer Wins Two Hearts.

There has been considerable stir in quite q
large circle of society in the Fourth and Sec
ond Districts of this city, over little contre-
temps in the way of double barreled engage
ment on the part of a certain young gentle
man, well. known about town. "s'
Ii seems some time since he became en-
gagged to Miss --, of the Fourth District,
and the course of their true love seemed to
run as smoothly as could be desired. In The
Second District, at the same time, he, In
Brigham Young style, became afianced to
beautiful Creole young lady. To both OF his
future brides he named the same day for his
nuptials, thinking that he could make his
selection before the tune arrived
Murder will out, and so did his little game.
The uptown young lady paid q visit to a
friend residing down in the Second District,
and was there introduced to Miss ---, her
rival, or rather her copartnar in the affection
of the dashing Don Juan.
The fashions, weather and the latest gossip
had all been thoroughly discussed, when the
lady of the house in quiet way said
s'By the way, young ladies, it is little
singular didn't tell each of you before, but
it's not too late now. Do you know both OF
you are to be married soon." They blushed
in recognition Of the fact, and the uptown
lady modestly inquired of her companion,
8. Do tell me who you are going to make
happy" There was little hesitancy, when
the bright Creole girl whispered, "Mr
-" "Whats his first name?" said the
other. "Why, James"
There was one long, loud shrek, and the
belle of the Fourth District fell fainting upon
one of the sofas. They were engaged to the
same man. After reviving, the two put theil
heads together and sent back to the gay Lo-
thario pictures, loekets and other presents he
had given them.
The young man feels disconsolate of even
ings now and hardly dare move out OF the
First District, as he is between two fires
The above is strictly true, and were i not TO
giving unnecessary publicity to private
affair, names could be given.

THE CLINTON CASE.

The Governor has obtained legal advice,
and this advice is to the effect that the law
does not provide for the removal Of Clinton,
under the existing circumstances. and con-
sequently Clinton will remain in office.
Clinton has been summoned to appear
before the Superior Criminal Court Tor
arraignment on Friday.
Judge Braughn has answered the commu-
nication of the Governor and given assurances
that the case will be heard before the close OF
the present term of the court.
There is considerable difference OF opinion
as to what will be the result of the case, but
the one entertained by majority Of those
who express any opinion at all, is that it will
fall through, that Clinton has not been put
in the right corner, and there are some
people who do not hesitate to assert that it is
. whitewashing affair, and they predict that
in all the counts but mbezzlement-
there will be nolle prosequi entered, and
that the case Of ENLIGHTENMENT will fall
through on account of informalities in them.
dictment ~
! There are some people, however, who be
lieve that the matter is more serious for Gin
ton than Clinton or his friends are inclined
to think; that the people will watch the case
too, and SO closely that any attempt at tricl
will be discovered and frustrated. ~
The experts who have been examining Gin
tons books, are preparing their report, but !
will not be made public until after the trial
It might affect the case, and that would no
be right.
