Amusements--A Celebrated Ca

/
/
Amusements--A Celebrated Case
Probably more thoroughly inter
ested and deeply affected audience
has not assembled to witness dramat-
ic performance in long while than
was riveted in breathless attention
over the production of A Celebrated
Case, at Turner Hall last night. The
performance had two strong elements
to make it success-a magnificent
play and splendid company. The
play itself contains every element of
strength and attraction. The plot is
one Of intense interest It is a plot
within plot and SO dexterously is
the argument interviewer and so real
istic in all its phases that the audience
is moved by force more than exter-
nal. Every sympathy of human
nature is intensely aroused The play
reached those inner chords that vi
brate with attachments of home and
fillal affection. The sympathetic ten
sion which the piece arouses is at
times almost painful. 1t appeals to
every sense of justice, and awakens
the keenest appreciation of the wrongs
that villiany is capable OF producing.
1t would require too much space to
go into the details of the plot. The
company, as whole, is one of the
best that has appeared here in some
time, and the many brilliant climaxes
with which the place is filled were
magnifcently rendered. Miss Title
Stephany in the double roll of Made
line and Adrienne exhibited a power
tul conception of the true spirit of
the part, and her scenes were wrought
up to a most tragic pitch. The scene
where she, as the adopted daughter of
a rich Duke, attired in elegant costume
and jewels, discovers her father as a
gallay slave, placed there by the care
less prattEe of her childish innocence
twelve years before, was indeed mast
erly executed. Miss Viola as Valen-
tine received her full share of ap-
plause. She has an easy stage bearing
and surprises the audience by degrees
as Der part in the general plot unfolds.
In the splendidly wrought scene
where she accuses her supposed father
of murder, and defes him to strike
her too, she brought down the house
with a storm of appreciation. Miss
Helen Florence as the Chanoinesse
and Mrs. Salisbury as the Duchess
excelently sustained those characters.
| Mr., Hasenwinkle as Jean Renaud the
soldier and subsequently the galley
slave, exhibited some fine acting.
Theirs was nothing forced or over
drawn about his rendition, but a
natural and studied movement marked
every effort Mr.. Julian as Count De
Norway, Mr.. Ransom as Duke D.
Aubtiere, Mr. Blanchard as Raoul De
Languy, and j. W. Davenport as
Dennis O'Rourke gave admiral sup
port. AS a whole, the performance
was excellent and the effect was
marvellous, the ladies in the audience
being moved frequently to tears.
This company is announced to APP
pear here two evenings, the 25th and
Doth, on their way back from the
north, and a warm greeting is in store
for them.

daily Oshkosh Northwestern of late

WhOODfng Couch.

Whooping Cough, called pertussis by
physicians, is said to be owing to the
presence of bacteria under the root OF
the tongue. The cough is so urgent
that the breath becomes exhausted, and, ,
in effort to draw in the needed air, the
top Of the windpipe seems to nearly
close, causing Il Whooping sound. The
old plan was to let the disease run its
course, being careful that the symptoms
aggravated by cold. Certain medicines
seem to act tavorably in some eases. and
in others to have DO noticeable effect
The following have been recommended:
The fluid extract Of hyoscyamus, from
one to four drops, depending on the age
of the patient, "A blister to back Of
neck. Frictions to the spine twice IA
day, with onion juice Beat a fresh egg
in pint Of vinegar and add halfa pound
of loaf sugar; take two tablespoonful
every four hours.
The best treatment for the cure Of
whooping cough that has yet been dis
covered undoubtedly is to expose the
patients to the vapors arising from the
purifying boxes in gas works. But it
is not always convenient for the patient
to visit these places: and it has been
found to answer just AS well to procure
some of the liquid hydro-carbon that is
always found at the bottom of the pIlri-
flying boxes, and vaporiZe it in metal
dish in the closed room of the little pa
tient. 1t almost always affords immedi-
ate relief, and the whooping will not
return for hours. This liquid can be OBJ
taned at any gas works at little or no
cost, and no expense need be incurred
for vaporizers. a tablespoonful or more
may be evaporated at atime, and repeat
ed once day or 0ftencr. A large iron
spoon makes good evaporating dish.
1t may be held over the flame of a lamp,
or coal shovel may be heated and the
liquid poured into it and allowed to
evaporate in the room Of the patient.
This treatment would probably be bene-
fetal in throat and lung troubles. 1t is
safe, convenient and inexpensive.

Progress im Electric Lig ting.

Probably the next experiment in
street lighting will be made in New
York with lights of immense power
placed on q high tower. This system
has already been tried ut Akron, Ohio,
but not on such scale as is now con
templated. The Brush Company has
made bid for lighting Broadway from
the Battery to Forty-second street, and
if the proposal is accepted, it will light
Union Square by single group of
lights. The plans have been drawn
for tower to be $50 feet high, to be
constructed of boiler iron, in four foot
lengths, rlvited together, The tower
will be four feet in diameter at the base,
and one foot at the summit. 1t will
carry six lights of six thousand candle
power each, two being placed at each
angle of triangle This angle will be
SO arranged as to slide down oiled ways
to the ground every morning, for the
purpose OF cleaning the lamps and re-
placing the carbons. The company is
confident that the illumination from
the tower will be sufficient to enable
one to read % newspaperat adistance Of
half II mile. In case the first tower
shall he successful another will be
placed in Madison square. 1t is said
since the Brush lights were first used
on broadway last December they have
failed but twicc-once for hours, and
again for one hour both failures hav-
ing resulted from accidents to the en-
CINE. As there are now three engines,
there is little chance that all will be
disabled ut once.

THE SENATE DEADLOCK.
NoSigns Ofa Republican Caucus
Efforts to Reconcile the Parties.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-No call
has yet been issued for holding caucus
of Republican Senators to consider the
present unsatisfactory condition of
affairs in the Senate. The call for a
caucus was signed last week by about
II Senators, and it was understood on
Friday, when the Senate adjourned
that the caucus would be convened on
Tuesday or Wednesday. 1t requires
the signature Of one-tifth the entire
number Of Republican Senators to con
vene caucus, and report is current
tonight that five of the twelve who
signed last week have Withdrawn their
names which, if correct, would reduce
the signatures to the call below the
minimum number required. 1t is like
ly, however, that sufficient number
VIII be obtained to secure the pro-
posed conference on Wednesday, but,
from the general sentiment that is ex-
pressed, it is doubtful whether those
who are disposed to favor the holding of
secret sessions for the consideration Of
Executive nominations, will carry their
point. 1t is understood that those favor
ing action on nominations propose to
have considered at the present session
only those nominations to which there
is no serious opposition, leaving the
nominations of Robertson, Matthews,
and Chandler for the regular session in
December. Ex-senator Cameron of
Pennsylvania, arrived here last night
and it is believed that he has come to
make another effort to reconcile the ex-
listing differences between the President
and certain Republican Senators touch
ing appointments, and to sndeavor also
to bring about an understanding be-
tween the parties in reference to the
deadlock i'll the Senate. When here
last week, Gen. Cameron recommended
the President to Withdraw the nomin-
alton OF j udge Robertson, but the Pres
ident gave him to understand in posi-
tive terms that he would not do 50.
