Kate Claxton.

There was great demand and rush yes
terday morning, at the East Tennessee
Book House, for seats for the engagement,
Thursday night, of the eminent and favor
tie American actress, Miss Kate Claxton, in
1.-TWO Orphans" and larger number of
seats were reserved during the day than for
any previous engagement in one day. All
the Indications point to magnificent audi
ence, and it is very fitting that there should
be. No one will be disappointed. Hear
what the New York Times says:
The 1.-TWO Orphans" is dramatic story,
more thrilling in its narration, and more
beautiful in its absorbing and romantic
illustration than has ever before been
offered to our public. Nor is this too much
to say, that it owes it's chief charm to the
wonderful portrait of Louise, the blind
girl, by Kate Claxton.
The Turf, Field and Farm also adds
The 1.-TWO Orphans" has all the requi-
sites of dramatic power, and all the essen
tials of happy representation. 1t is vivid,
pathetic, interesting, and around the Louise
of Miss Claxton cluster the warmest and
most sympathetic emotions. Her rendition
of the character is simply perfect.

Died

Of scarlet fever, Friday, Gath February,
1882, Luther, aged four years.
On Monday, Feb. 9th, of same disease,
Lizzie, in her ninth year.
Lizzie and Luther were the children of
Claiborne w. and Malinda ]. Webb. Luther
always insisted that he was preacher, and
after going from church would take the
Bible and have service at home. And SO
the fond father and mother looked forward
to the time when their dear boy would be
a minister.
Little Lizzie was bright, beautiful and
promising girl, pupil of one of the city
schools, and, when at home, took special
delight in helping her little preacher
brother to conduct his religious services.
But scarlet fever CAME and the grave swal-
lowed them up. / was going to say that
father and mother had been left desolate, for
these were all their children. But what
pagans we are. They are not childless.
No. The little ones are in heaven, and in
their Fathers House foreyermore. sit is
not the viii of your Heavenly Father that
one of these little ones should perish"

Mr.. c. L Divine, Superintendent of the
composing and printing department of the
Indianapolis, Ind, Journal, values the great
remedy beyond all curative agents. He has
been subject to rheumatism of very pain
full character, and has passed many sleepless
nights while enduring the agony of it.
Physicians have prescribed for him, and he
has employed remedies which were adver-
tised as specifics for the disease, but none
with satisfactory results. When he bought
a bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, however, and be-
gan its use, he speedily realized that he had
at last found the remedy he had been look
ing for. 1t relieved him with. remarkable
quickness and gave him greet comfort. He
now feels great satisfaction in the knowl-
edge that he has remedy which will con-
troll all rheumatic pain, from which he has
no future guarantee of immunity. Believ-
ing, as he does, that the st. Jacobs Oil will
cure all forms of pain, he freely recon-
mends it to his friends and advises its use.

Two Orphans by Kate Claxton.


Although she has never appeared in our
city, there is no parsonage ON the American
stage, perhaps, who ranks as high in dra-
matte talent in the estimation of our amuse-
ment lovers as does the peerless, and su-
premely talented Kate Claxton, and an anx-
iety has long prevailed here to witness at
home her own matchless assumption of the
character of Louise in ''Two Or
phans." This opportunity will be
afforded tonight, which is the
occasion of the only appearance of the
charming actress for this season. The CON
dition of the slate at Williams book store
indicates that she will be greeted by perhaps
the largest audience ever assembled in
Staub's Opera-house, on similar occasion.
There yet remain some desirable seats, but
application should be made early to secure
them.
The New York Sunday Dispatch has this
to say:
The Two Orphans" was revived on
Christmas Monday, and continued through
about her remarkably strong company for
the proper representation of the piece.
Eight performances were given, at each of
which the theatre, large as it is, was
crowded to its utmost capacity. Over
twenty thousand came to see the revival of
this remarkable play, and the receipts
amounted to nearly $4,000. Aside from
. Miss Claxton's touching portrayal of Louise,
one of the finest and most artistic person
atoms seen upon any stage is that of Marie
Wilkins as Madame Frochard. She is
robustly and tierceiy heartless, and invests
the character with quality of humor that
is tendish in its expression. No more per-
feet picture of female brutality, without
one redeeming trait, has rarely been seen
upon any stage.
This is from the New York Evening Post.
The golden threads of shivering poverty,
which run unseen through the black sands
of sinful life, have been woven into wool
of pathetic beauty in the play of the 1.-TWO
Orphans" and the Louise, in the hands of
Kate Claxton, is figure about which all
that is tenderest and sweetest in humanity
clings with an undring interest,
Mr.. John d. Brothers, of Portsmouth,
o., writes: 1.-Two years ago / suffered
from severe attack of malarial fever; !
was brought very low to deaths door;
had never fully recovered, and often was
distressed with biliousness, headache, sink
ing chills, night sweats, indigestion and
painful urination. About three months
ago | noticed an advertisement of Browns
Iron Bitters in Cincinnati paper. From
the first, it seemed to be just the medicine
! had lon,; needed. am now just as strong
and hearty as buck, and weigh nearly one
| half again as much as did three months
| ago."

Magistrates Allowed No Fec for Writing
Out Testimony.
Nashville American

In Ninth Baxter, page 227 in the case of
the State VS.. Anthony, the opinions of
Judges Freeman and Turney are reported
as the opinion of the Supreme Court, when,
in fact, they are dissenting opinions, the
opinion of majority of the court having
been an oral one, the Chief Justice, Judges
Sneed and Mcfarland having decided that
magistrates were not entitled to fee for
writing out the testimony of witnesses.
Some of the magistrates had heretofore
claimed that they had the right to charge
one dollar for the testimony of every wit
ness written out. The Comptroller has re-
fused to allow such fee, because the Su-
preme Court has declared they are not by
law entitled to it.

Adams Humpty-Dumpty.

The famous and only George H. Adams,
with his own new Hunpty -Dumpty. opened
very auspiciously at Staub's Opera house
last night, and despite the fact that it was
threatening and pouring down rain all the
while, there was almost packed house, to
witness the much looked for event.
Mr.. Adams, the clown, was the central fig
IRE of attraction, together with his pony,
and kept waves and roars of laughter con-
tinually floating over the audience, by his
immense and endless fund of nonsensical
but laughable eomicalities. Mr.. Adams is
not strangerto Knoxville fun lovers, and
he fully sustained his character as a trick
and pantomime clown, without peer in the
profession. His performances in many in
stances, are truly wonderful, and actually
dumbfounding, and he certainly excels in
his chosen profession. Since Mr.. Adams
was here with the Tony Denier Company,
he has made many valuable and attractive
additions to the COZ glomeration of conf
caGties and wonders, and as now arranged,
under the management of Adam Forepaugh,
Adams Humpty-Dumpty is perhaps the
most complete and most gigantic show of
! the kind extant. The scenic and mechani-
cal effects of the show are quite complete,
and many special features, such as Wing
! field and his trained dogs, the cat duet :"
by the Pregers, the gymnastic and group
ing performances, &C., are worthy of
special mention.
The programme was followed up with
lightning and bevildering rapidity, and
everything was performed apparently to the
entire satisfaction of an enthusiastic audi
ence. The final transformation tableau, for
gorgeousness and brilliancy is not to be
surpassed, and excited the admiration and
wonder of ALL and the curtain fell amid
yociferous applause, Another exhibition will
| be given to night, and we advise all who
would enjoy an evening of fun and hearty
| laughter, to secure an attendance.
