second OaIy to clara Morris


The Washington Chronicle has the
following to say of Genevieve Rogers,
who will appear at the Whitley opera
house in this city on the evening Of the
It'll, in the beautiful drama of Maud
Muller:
81 ever were the hearts of an audience
MOI completely captured, and never
did n unknown actress receive such an
emil Isiastic and hearty reception at the
han, of Washington audience as was
granted Miss Rogers last night at the
National theatre, and she is more than
worthy of it all. A more brilliant, true
anG life like portrayal of the woman
was meyer acted on any stage. Second,
and second only, to Clara Morris, she
stands as an notional actress. "Maud
Muller" is the American society drama,
and is as far superior TO nine-tenths Of
the French trash classed in the category
as Miss Roge RS is the majority of those
protesting E, be stars. 1t is complete.
Perfect entirely and In piece Z every
character is strongly drawn, and holds
its own throughout. There is no lag
giHg, nothing dull, and the interest of
the audience is held from the rise to the
fall of the curtain. 1t is filed with
good selections, well brought out, in.
tensely emotional, interspersed with
brilliant comedy. The dialogue is
strong, and the acting throughout first.
class. The beautiful story of maud
Muller" as told by the New England
poet, is too we'll known to need descrip.
ton here. Miss Rogers, in the title
role, leaves nothing to be desired. She
is wonderful for one SO young, and has
an untold future before her"

VENNOR AGAIN.
General Forecast of the Summer and
Autumn of 1882.

General Forecast of the Summer and
Autumn of 1882.
Vennor, the Canadian weather proph-
ct, in his May bulletin says: "Out of the
thirteen long-range and general predic-
lions which I have given forth and
caused TO be published in the leading
newspapers of the day and in my yearly
almanacs between the years of 1875 and
1882, only two have been seriously out
or astray with respect. to the summer
season. This statement is not an empty
assertion, but on the contrary one that
is capable of proof, for the vertical
ton of these predictions does not lie in
my own translation Of them, but in each
case has been gathered from the tele-
graph reports of the day, and just as
these appeared in the daily journals in
which the predictions were first pub
| lished. Having said this much on by
gone forecasts, l desire now briefly to
give brief but comprehensive outline
of what, in my humble opinion, are
likely to be the most remarkable fea-
lures of the summer and autumn of the
|
year 1882:
First-A season That will well merit
the designation of cool to cold and wet
generally. Not that there will not be
terms of summer warmth and even in
tense heat for periods. but rather thai
these last will appear in the retro
spect as of but comparative insignlfi
canoe, or as the exceptions TO the gener
al rule.
SecOnd-The season will be marked
by not only great precipitation, but by +;
mugginess Of atmosphere, generally
caused by the reeking condition of thu
earth and the lnng continuance of cloud
ed sky. This will result in periods o
, extreme sultriness and heavy weather
J during which thunder and hail
storms will occur. In other words, til,
summer will be the reverse of clear ant
. dry.
/, Third-There is likelihood of Jun
. and August frosts in northern, western
l and southern sections, and a general col,
wave may occur toward midsummer.
. autumn t1uuLuS VIII COZ
, tinue moist, September will probabl
give rains and floods in western Canad
and in western and southern sections c
the United States. October will be muc
the same, with early cold and snow fall
November will begin the winter {
1 1885, winter likely to be memorabl
d on account of its exceptionally heav
+ snow falls and very cold weather owe
the whole northern hemisphere. This
"a cold and wet summer is invariabl
Il followed by cold and stormy winter,
is a truth now so well proven and born
a out by the testimony of past records thi
we can not lightly put it aside; and
e we have good and sufficient GROUND
e for predicting the former-as we mo
!. assuredly have al this time-It Is bl
- right that We should warn the people
the latter in good season.
Fifth and last-The approaching Sc

Handso,ne Goods.

The ladies are loud in their praises
over the elegant assortment of millinery
and fancy goods displayed by Mrs. Full
mer at her reception on Saturday. The
bonnets, of which there was great
variety, were especially tasteful,
and excited bOundless admiration
among the fair devotees of
of fashion who crowded her rooms. Then
there was bewildering exhibit Of flow
ers so true to nature that it was difficult
to persuade oneself that he had not
stepped into q veritable conservatory
rich with passionate bloom, so great
was the wealth of color on all
hands. Added to these were rib
bons in all hues and tinis, del
icate laces in beautiful patterns and de
signs, silks and satIns, and, in fact, q
complete assortment OF all those ar
ticies which go to make up well-se
lected stock of millinery. We are glad

HIS Lecture ON "our MArsyred Presi-
cent" at Whitlex's Opera
House May 25th

HIS Lecture on sour MaEtyred Presi-
cent" at WhitieY's Opera
House May a5th.
Il VIII be remembered by some of our
people that Hon. Schuyler Colfax lee.
tured here under very adverse eircum.
stances some five years ago. He had
made an engagement here, but in com
ing to Kansas City from some point in
Misso uri on the day of the evening on
which he was to appear before an EN-
poria audience, he missed the Santa Fe
train some three hours. He offered as
high as $40 TO the road if they would
even run him out here on a locomotive,
but ia vain. He took freight tram
and arrived here the next morning
at eght O'Clock, and after many
who had bought tickets had given
up lisS coming and had gone home.
The consequence was that instead of
an dience of five hundred, only about
two hundred listened to his eloquent
storJ of the life of the great Lincoln.
Mr.. Colfax as well as hundreds of our
people were greatly disappointed, and he
has always had the desire to come 10
Emporia again. On the occasion of his
former lecture he could stay but one
hour, as he was obliged to take the
eastern train. His many friends and
admirers throughout this and adjoining
count es will be glad TO learn that he is
TO be nere to lecture on the evening of
May 18th, at the Whitley opera house.
While we have had an abund-
ance of entertainments of vari-
Gus kinds during the season, we do
not recall single lecture outside of the
splendid Normal course, and We there
fore bespeak for the eloquent ex-speaker
of the national house of representatives
large audience. The story of the life
of Lincoln never grows old, and there
is not man in the country today who
can tell it with more eloquence, and
pain, it triler to life, than Dir. Colfax,
who was long his associate in public
life

The dog fell into fit after biting ihe
mare and was killed by parties who were
chasing him for that purpose. He thinks
the mare was saved by the treatment adj
ministered. Soda was applied to the
wound after which the flesh around il
was thoroughly burned with hot iron,
