The TheateE.
Mr.. DeBar appeared as the "MOck
Duke" in the Honeymoon at the matinee yes
terday, and at night as Jack Falstaf7' in the
Merry Wives Of Windsor, in the latter char
acter fully sustaining his reputation in that
role, the play of last night affording more
entertaining performance and wider scope
for the display of Mr.. DeBar's genius in the
character of "Falstaff." What we have said
before of Mr.. DeBar, that he stands unrivaled
in the character OF ''Falstaff,' we repeat. He
is wei supported by his company. Tonight
HenryIV, will be repeated, and we hope to
see full house, such as the character OF the
play and player merits.
Dan Rice's Circus.
This veteran Snowman has been
battling with the elements the past several
days, but, as usual, holds his own, and has his
tent pitched ON the bluffs, beneath which he
is giving wonderful exhibitions with bis
trained horses and goats. The feats per-
formed by the horses are wonderful, they do
ing all kinds of tricks and dangerous balanc-
ing acts. The troop of nine horses go through
the cavalry drill at the word of command and
under charge of an orderly sergeant, a beauti-
full animal that takes its place at the head of
the troop. Dan Rice has a wonderful show
one most instructive and yet amusing. During
the performance of the animals Mr. Rice is
perhaps, the hsppiest man living, and talks
necessarily, and gets of some of the best
things ever heard In the "rtng." No one
should fail to see his brute scholars. the enter
tafnment being in every way worthy of pub
Hc'patronage. There was good attendance
last night, and now that the weather has
settled TO a more enjoyable condition, we have
no doubt the tent will be crowded during Old
Dams stay on the bluffs.
Something New-A Masquerade Ball.
The gentlemen connected with the
Centennial movement in Memphis propose
giving grand Centennial masquerade ball
toward the close of the present season, to be
followed by others during the Christmas hol-
ldays. The object is to raise funds, TO be for
warded to the chairman of the board of ma
tonal and State Centennial commissioners
for Tennessee, Colonel NJ. Burns, of Nashville,
to aid that body in securing for Tennessee
such representation at the international eX-
position at Philadelphia in 1876 as will recon-
mend our State to the favorable consideration
of the millions who will visit the Centennial.
We shall hereafter publish the particulars of
this coming entertainment, which we must
believe will be n success because OF the lauda-
BILE object in view, and the opportunity it will
afford our pleasure seekers OF enjoying the
novel sight of ladies and gentlemen in the
dance in the picturesque costumes of the lord
ly men and stately danes of the old revolu-
tionary times. We learn that preparations
are being made by certain enterprising
mOdiSte TO have an elegant assortment of APP
propriate costumes on hand for the occasion,
though our lady readers should at once
"brush up" on the question of historical CO.'S
tunes.
bismarck and the Pope"
Cincinnati Enquirer, Monday: CDR.
]. W. Rogers, late editor of the Central Cath
olic, indianapolis, lecturei last night TO
large audience in Mozart hall, by permission
nf The 6FphDlShOn- and under the DatrOnage of
several OF the reverend priests of Cincinnati.
He was introduced by Rev. Father BOex, s.
J., OF st. Xavier's church; Father Doyle, of
st. Edwards church; Father Muller and
other clergymen being present. His subject
was Bismarck and the Pope, or the Coming
Conflict in America After making his &C.
TO his grace the archbishop,
his clergy and faithful men for patroniZing
what he denominated his poor lecture he
proceeded TO develop the fascinating diplO.
macy of Bismarck with Russia in 1919; with
Austria in the SchleSwig-Holstein affair; with
Victor Emmanuel and Napoleon; from which
he endeavored TO show that Bismarck
was the leader of all who opposed or
denied the sacrednesS of vested right;
and that the pope was, in every in
rights of Professionals as well as of Catholics.
He reviewed the FaIk laws of Germany, and
suggested that in the United States three eff
forts had been made to establish national
schools under the preteXt of educating the
freedmen. That Bismarck, after the battle of
Sedan, was at the pinnacle or human power;
but the pope, representing true liberty and
the sacredncss of vested right, was more pow
erful than armies and emperorS. He then
the startling proposition that
neither Germany nor the United states had |
anything worth having in government or |
law that the popes HAD not given them. From |
Sir William Blsckstones chapter on parlia- |
ments, he demonstrated that our representa-. |
tive system was given by the Catholic church. |
That the chancery system and civil law |
came from the same source, and concluded |
with glowing tribute TO the justice and wis |
1om OF the church which had preserved So |

interrupted by loud and prolonged |
applause, and the audience seemed unusually |
