Two young men went into the
woods near Aurora, ILL.,, to play n
game of cards. As they were rival
lovers, and had not previously spok-
en- to each other for months, II IS
coniectured that the girl III dispute
was the stake that they played for.
The winner, however, was not per-
mitted TO gain the prize, for his op-
pouent instantly shot him through
the heart. An effort to settle rival
ry by chance had not less sad re-
suit in Texas. The two suitors
were convinced that the young wo-
man would accept either if the other
would let her alone, and they agreed
to throw dice to decide which should
give her up. The loser honestly
endeavored to keep the compact,
but the woman refused to be dis
posed of in that way, and wrote to
him that she would marry nobody
else, and would not even see the
winner. The latter would not be-
lieve that his competitor had tried
to retire from the contest, and so
murdered him.

AMUsEMENTs.
The Bowers Thompson Troupe.

The new play of Lady Jane Grey
was enacted before a fair audience at
Leubrie's theater last night by Mrs.
D. P. Bowers, Charlotte Thompson
and their supporting troupe, chief
among which in point Of artistic merit
is Mr.. j. c. McCollum. The drama
is founded on scenes and events in
English history subsequent to the
reign Of Henry VIII, and about the
period when Mary Tudor, his daugh-
ter, known in English annals as
Bloody Mary, became queen, just af-
ter the middle of the Seventeenth
century, There is good material in
the sensational occurrences of that
time to afford play writers a fine field
10 draw interesting pictures from real
life, and the author has done his work
we'll enough, though the piece will not
be likely to hold the stage as long
as have Shakespeare's historical
tragedies. The plots, counterplots,
jealousies and ambition Of various
mobiles of the English realm are we'll
illustrated in the drama, though tAe
facts are considerably twisted to en-
able the authors to group them to-
gether in a manner sufficiently excl
ting to make a good play. The partof
Mary as assumed by Mrs. Bowers,
gives opportunities for that accom-
plished and powerful actress to ex-
hibit all of the human passions in a
splendid manner. Love, hatred,
thirst for power and vengeance, and
all of the tragic features of high pal-
sion we're depicted by MRS. Bowers
with intense vigOr and effect. Char
lotte Thompson pictured in a very
beautiful way the gentler emotions as
they are supposed to have existed in
the less ambitious nature of the un-
fortunate Lady Jane Grey, who
against her will was forced to occupy
the English throne for a few
brief hours, only to be sent to
the tower for execution by her unfor-
giving foe and hating rival, Mary.
Mr.. McCullom performed the part Of
Lord John Dudley in a very accepta-
Bile manner, while the young and fec
bic King Edward vi had a neat and
interesting counterpart in Mr.. John
L. Wooderson. Guilford Dudley, the
husband of Lady Jane, was rather
tame, but might have been worse.
The remaining characters as presented
were devoid Of any especial merit.
The incidents and interest center
chiefly in the two principal characters,
Mary Tudor and Lady Jane, and they
could not be more %cleverly pictured
than is done by two such artists as
Mrs. Bowers and Charlotte Thompson.
Lady Jane Grey will be repeated to-
night and tomorrow night, after
which Court and Stage, another scene
from Eglish history, will be pro-
grammed.
