Uncle Toms Cabin.

Uncle Toms Cabin was given at the
Opera House last Saturday evening
under many and various difficulties.
1t had been the intention Of the troupe
to give the drama on Monday evening,
September 18th, but was postponed for
various reasons. In the meantime Mr..
Miller, the manager, had gone to Chi
caro- to secure some additional mem
bers, and being delayed Unexpectedly,
was not able to reach here till the
morning the play was given. The
members of the troupe who were here
we're rendered somewhat nervous by
the various postponements and the un'
certainty as to when they would be
able to play. The consequence was
that the play did not run smooth, and
the members could not do justice tC
their several parts, and to make mat
tiers worse the persons who were EN-
ployed to shift the scenes, seemed tC
have been badly bewildered, and made
some depressing mistakes-spoiling sew
eral of the finest scenes. At one tim,
the scene shifter got on the wrong sid
of the scene, and his appearance wa
greeted by uproarous shouts. We d.
not profess to have very high ad
miration for Uncle Toms's cabin as {
drama,-it being merely succession
of scenes and tableaus, and needs {,
be magni6cently mounted.
The scene i'm which little Eva took
prominent part, was an admirable on
and we'll deserving Of praise. Anothe
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1881-10-05

fine and we'll presented scene was the
Furnishing of Uncle Tom by Simon lie
gree. Mr.. Frank Miller's Legree was
a well taken character. The character
of Phneas Fletcher, as acted by Mr..
III. Il. Weeden, was well done. Lawyer
Marks CNill A. Miller and his don
KEY Rover created considerable merri-
mcnt. Miss Pinkic johnson, us Topsy,
the child that never was born, did re-
markably well, At various times in the
play the Jubilee Singers gave appro-
pirate selections that were very pleas
ing. The tableau at the conclusion
showing little Eva amid the clouds,
waiting for Uncle Toms spirit to join
her, was a magnificent one
One fault that we have to find was
the difficulty in hearing what some OF
the actors said, and we would respect
fully suggest that the actors take a
position as near the front Of the stage as
they can, and, whenever it can be done,
face the audience when they are speak
ing. The Opera House is not the best
arranged for transmitting clear and
distinct sounds, and it takes n very
powerful voice to make the words
sound distinctly; consequently actors
have to be more than usually careful
in their pronunciation.
The attendance ut the Opera House
to witness the drama was largc-the
hall being about full.

The Fair.

To-day is the first day Of the fourth
annual fair Of this county, and we are
pleased to say that the indications for
the most successful exhibition yet given
are decidedly good. Up to Yesterday
noon the demand for space in the hall
and on the grounds had been greater
than was anticipated, and to casual
observer it looked us through all were
determined to be out in full force.
The fair grounds were never III bet
ter condition for holding fair. y
long row of stalls or sheds for horses,
cattle, etc, has been erected on either
side of the gateway, railings have been
erected at various places for the pur-
pose of hitching teams, the small brush
have been cut and the trees trimmed
up in good shape, making the grounds
much more pleasant, while all the
necessary arrangements have been
perfected for taking proper care Of any
and all stock or articles that may be
placed on exhibition On the bank, Il
short distance from the main building,
fine spring has been deepened, curb
ed and covered, and into this, if placed
a pump, from a platform level with the
top of the bank, and from this pump
an unlimited supply Of pure water can
be obtained for drinking purposes.
The race course, which was construct.
ed the present season by the Alpena
Driving Park Association, is one Of
the finest in the State, being half &
mile in length and as smooth as floor
and the track is now in excellent con
dition. On this track the Driving
Park Association will give exhibitions
of speed of horses on the afternoons o
the two last days of the fair, thus al
ding to the general attraction at the
fair.
On the last day of the fair the M
pena Guards, headed by the Guard
Band, will parade on the grounds
There will also be other attraction
this season that have not been present
ed at any previous fair, and upoi
the whole there seems to be nothing il
the way of having one of the hes
county fairs in Michigan.

An indictment has been made by
the United States against General
Brady and the various members Of the
Star route, for defrauding the govern
ment out Of large sums Of money, and
there appears very favorable pros
pect of the ring being vigorous pros
ecuted, made to disgorge the people :
money they have stolen, and get the re-
ward that justice, when awakened,
metes out to wrong doors. Postmaster
General James and Acknowledgement
MacNeagh may be credited with
making the attack on the ring, and
both gentlemen have asserted that if
they remain in President Arthur'S cab
met, either temporary or permanently
they shall be allowed to 90 on with the
work of purifying the mail service and
thus help to relieve the burdens OF
the people. President Arthur has de-
clarcd it to be his wish that the work &C
on and that the members Of the stan
route ring, if guilty, be punished. A:
a number Of prominent Republican:
are mixed up in these stealings, We
have but little faith in their being pun
ished and the corruptionists fully cx
posed by Republican administration
4 farce of trial will probably b,
held, but the ring will escape, unles
public opinion forces the administra
ton to mete out justice to the offend
ers. This has been the way the Re
publicans have delt with the plumber
ers of the peoples money-very fey
have met with a just punishment.

The tragedy is over. The mortal re-
mains Of the late President have been
consigned to their last resting place.
The republic majestically moves on.
But in contemplating the life thus cut
off and events connected herewith,
there is an important lesson taught
that should not be lost sight Of While
the bullet of the assassin Giteau killed
James A. Garfield, the constitution 5
chief magistrate Of the country, and
made nation mourners, his death was
none less the victim Of vicious and
false political system. 1t is well said
that,
The bullet of the assassin was aimed
and impelled by bad constitutional
arrangment--an arrangement which SAFE

want of a party or you will be destroy
edw This fact of enormous signifi
canoe has been recognized as widely a
the typical character of the man who's
life was placed in jeopardy by his ele
walton to the presidency, and destroyed

in Americans to ignore it, and supreme

OPENING DAYS.
Not nj the Fair, but for the Fair Ones.

The Mc>srS, Hawley q Co., who
have one Of the largest stores in the
State, at Bay City, besides their store
here, have established the custom of
showing their entire stock Of fine dress
r.ods from the Bay City store, in Al
pcna for few days, both spring and
fall. A. the finest of goods are kept
by this firm, equal to any imported, it
gives the ladies Of Alpena an oppor-
tunity not enjoyed by any town of its
size
Hearing that one of these semi-an-
nual displays was to take place this
week, cur reporter called in to take a
peep into the mysteries of cart in
dress" Mr.. Hawley, from Bay City,
was present, assisting Mr.. Fitzgerald
Several extra counters were arranged
for receiving the goods which were
piled up in endless quantities. 1t is
not expected that our reporter will
name and describe all that he saw, but
he might mention the rich rhadameres
in black as well rs the new colors
Brocadc silks Of every shade. Plaids
combining all the new olive shades
with the cardinal and scarlet. An en-
tirely new material is the illuminated
goods for trimming-silver and gold
thread. being used with the rich
oriental colors. Costume cloth i'll cloth
shades and in small checks were notice
able as being very genteel. Perhap;
most noticeable in all the display was
the profusion Of rich plushes in every
conceivable shade, and the ombre eff
fccts which are lovely as a poet
dream For garinturc Of all these
goods we were shown endless varieties
of cashmere gimps and ornaments il
all the tints of the rainbow, ranging il
price from two to forty dollars pc
yard, as well as the finest display o
buttons it has ever been our fortune t,
{ see. Outside garments in satin de Icon
fur-lned, also rich fur trimmed silk
and wool garments were displayed il
large numbers.
After going through the dress good
and trimming department, q most agree
able surprise awaited US, in being ush
; cred into an entire new department
viz; millinery, which has lately bee
! added under the supervision Of Mis-
+, Clifford, an artist in this way. Thi
I department was crowded with tn
many fine things that make up tn
stock Of first class millinery store
but which are indescribablc by mar
c kind, and our fair readers must 90 an
? look for themselves.
). That such II display of fine goods
e made in our city, is an evidence of til
/, growth Of the place in wealth and GU
+ turc, and too an evidence of the ente
:. prise of Messrs. Hawley IL Co., WI
i are undoubtedly tie merchants
+ northern Michigan. The large bus
=, ness done both in Alpena and Ba
e City, in this class of goods, is DIT
C largely to the fact that all their gooc

pellor Gazelle, of Detroit, Captain

On the 10th Of this month special
session of the L. :. Senate takes place
to elect a President of the Senate, who
in reality, will be Nice-President OF
the United States. Owing to the sue
cessors of senators Conkling, Plat, and
Burnsides call Republicans not hav-
inc been sworn in, the Democrats have
a majority in the Senate, and before
the three members can he sworn in, the
President of the Senate must be elect
ed. The result will be, Of course, the
election of Democrat who will act rs
Vice President, and Senator Bayard, OF
Delaware. is said to be the man who
will receive the Democratic vote. If
the Senate were full, the Republicans
would have 81 votes, and the Demo
Gratis 81. Senator Malone, Il repu-
diationist, voted with the Republicans
at the last session, and probably will
at the coming one, while Senator Davis,
Independent, usually votes with the
Democrats. With full Senate the
parties are, therefore, cven-each hay
ING 80 votes. There being three va
cancies in the Republican ranks, THEN
number is reduced to 80, while the
Democrats have 81, without counting
Davis. This, of course, gives the Vice
Presidency, to the Democrats.
