AMUSEMENTS.


Those who were not at the Varieties last
evening missed seeing a performance o.
great merit. Nine. Janauschek appeared az
LADY DedIock' and "Hortense." in sChes
ney Wold."
Much has been said and written In praise
Of this dual performance In other cities. II
the first to succeed In e~mbodying the spirit,
character and purpose OF that modern mas
ter. OF dramatic effect, Dickens. Her
"Chesney Wold" is q dramatization
DEMONSTRATION either, but the faults Of
the play are forgotten In admiration OF the
great artistic who makes 1t a vehicle for the
display OF her art. Janauschek assumes tvs
remarkably contrasted characters: the fine
lady and the French girl. Each character lie
formance creating both surprise and admira-
ton. Whilst the Hortense part OF the per-
Torrance is faulty to some extent. we know
OF only one thing In the dramatic line to
compare with It: Chas. Fechter In bis prime,
when he acted the fiery Corsican and the pol
ished society gentleman years ago. in what
Is now en- old story. "The Corsican Brothers.
Janauschek's performances are not aided
by the painter or the machiniSt, and the char
acters she creates are everyday people, who
are readily recognized and understood Her
representation OF the French femme du peMpte
is fair In accent, bad in idioms, and very good
In gestures. Perfect Is her cold, p~assionless
woman OF fashion, in her rich robes and SHIN
meriDg diamondS-and Janauschek'S edia-
monds are real, large and numerous, and her
maoy dresses may be seen and admired, but
not described.
THE COMPANY
supporting Janauschek Is a strong one, and
they worked well last night. The difficult
part OF Tulkinghorn, the lawyer, was very
well acted by j. w. Lannergan, and Jennie
Murdoch was q most interesting Esther Sum-
merSOn.
We presume that nobody knows better than
Ed. Thorne that Inspector Bucket Ia not the
OF character In which he can hope to ap-
pear to advantage; but he was perfect In his
lines-as perfect as he was imperfect in his
dress and make-up-and that he was appa-
rently earnest In his efforts throughout the
play. Miss Williams played Poor Joe, the
crossing sweeper, and invested the character
with much quiet pathos.
Tonight "Chesney Void" again. On Fri
day night Mary Stuart will present Janau-
schek In one OF her greatest roles. On Satur-
formance OF Lady Dedlock and Hortense
In "Chesney Wold."

least heed to the hou When not actually
eating they generally give utterance to a pc

hearing that cry"
What meaning Is attached to this cry?"
Men OF deepest thought have agreed that
It signifies to wake up the neighborhood and

"They are OF no earthly account for the first

"Do you know OF any instance where the
baby has attacked the household and killed OF

make enough profit In a year to buy him a
pair Of arctic overshoes but for the presence

THE FEVER COMMITTEE


IT ADJOURNs TO MEET IN WASH
The committee was called to order shertly
after II o'clock, the first and only witness4ex-
amined being
MAYoRcoBB, OF PENSACOLA.
To Senator Lamar-He would like to make
a statement In reference to the fever in Pen
sacola: The fever in 1867 and 1873 was import
ed In each case. When the fever was at Bar
rancas In 1s74, and at the Navy Yard in 1875,
capped the fever entirely In 1875.
In 1874 we had fever; II was In the early
portion. Still we maintained quarantine, and
we were quarantined against. In the same
and Barrancas did not have a case. Its quar-
antine was effectual against both. In the next
year. 1875, the n~avy-yard had virulent yellow
fever, and both Pensacola and Barrancas
escaped. The fever vas in Mobile this year;
it crossed to Baldwin county and stopped at
the Perdido river, the State line between Ala
bama and Florida. There we established a
military Gordon. and kept 1t away from Pen
sacola.
10 Gen. G~ibson-There was only one case
at quarantine this year: 1t was questioned
We had no vessels coming from infected ports
with cargoes; they all came In ballast. In
1867 the fever was brought by the ship Fair
Wind. Two or three cases Of fever broke out
In the city as soon as her ballast was taken
out; She was returned to quarantine, In
1873 the fever was brought by the ship Golden
Dream. She came In ballast.
In 1874 we had an epidemic, but not as viru-
lent as the previous year. The quarantine
bv sea In 1873 was an effectual embargo. In
1873 the cause of the fever was the smuggling
OF textile fabrics from the ship Golden Dream
to the shore, and in 1874 the same reason is
assigned for the introduction Of the fever.
We had the hearty cooperation Of the United
States authorities last year, to which we w
our exemption from fever by sea. A quaran-
tine by the local authorities Is too easily
evaded, through personal considerations.
To Prof. Bemiss-The impression in the
country generally Is that our exemption from
a visitation Of the epidemic last year was due
solely to the efficiency Of our quarantine.
To Prof. Chaille-The Fair Wine was sent
back to quarantine after the first two cases
OF fever appeared. The two or three cases
that she had when returned to quarantine
terminated fatally, and there was no more
course with the city.
Upon the removal of the remainder Of her
ballast we had q general attack OF yellow
fever. There Is no dispute among the citi-
zens and physicians of Pensacola as to the
epidemics OF 1867 and 1873 being imported.
tween Baldwin county and the Perdido river.
We turned back numerous tramps every day.
Our efficient shotgun quarantine, both In the
and rear, gave us an exemption from
the Yellow fever during the last epidemic.
To Gen. HoOker-There was no violence
used. Il was simply q show Of force to make
the law e~ffectual.
There being no more witnesses to examine,
the committee went into executive session at
IL 80 o'clock.
Executive session being raised, the COM
mittee adjourned to meet In Washington.
