MUSIC AND DRAMA.

THE WORLD.
The Boston Theatre Company will appear
at Portland Theatre tonight in "The World"
with all its spectacular effects and thrilling
situations. 'The realistic drama Of The
World was presented at the Opera House,
last evening, by the Boston Theatre Company
before large audience. Many OF the acts ais
play truly wonderful stage mechanism. The
second act is the best that has ever been put
upon the stage in Newport. All the force Of
the play is not in the scenery; there is an OPP
Oortunity for display of dramatic skill. The
whole surpassed anything of the kind ever
seen in Newport"
THE IDEALS.
The Ideals made their appearance in Provi-
dence Monday night in SRA Diavolo"-the
opera in which they will open the stockbridge
course in this city Saturday night-to very
large audience. The Ideals will produce the
"Weathercock" at City Hall Saturday after
noon, and parties who wish to exchange eve
ming for matinee tickets can do so.
A special to the Boston Herald, from Provi-
dence, speaking of the first production OF
"The Weathercock" N that city says:
"Mr. Mcdonald has evidently laid the found
alton for an excellent low comedy part, and IS
prominent in every act. A happy thought is
the device to attract his attention, he being
deaf, by the firing of the two small cannon,
which are worn as epaulets. The opera is
bound to be success. It Is waltzy, has
dozen or so Of catchy airs and its libretto Is
bright and sparkling, the few gags" being
well worked In, and quick to be discerned.
The duet by Mr.. Mcdonald and Miss Stone, in
the first act, as we'll as Miss Stones solo, Say,
why do the flowers look SO far?" were receiv-
ed with great favor, an encore being de-
manded. From that point the opera was
frequently applauded. There Ism othing in
"The WeathercUck" which suggests any pre-
vious OPERA in fact, its plotis entirely new and
original"
HAZEL KIRKE.
The original "Hazsl Kirke" cast, consisting
of G. W. Couldock, Mrs. E. L. Davenport,
Ada Gilman and others, will appear at Port
land Theatre Tuesday night. These admirable
actors will crowd the house. A beautiful
souvenir tile will be presented to each lady at

The London Times ON King AIfcnso,s
Visit.
LONDON, Oct. 3-The Times editorially,
commenting upon the recent events in Paris,
says that government which cannot secure a
courteous reception for national guest in its
own capital can hardly be acquitted OF weak
ness and incapacity, even if it escapes suspic-
ion on the score of sincerity and good will. The
Times adds: During the brief tenure of Office
of M. Challemel-Lacour, the French Minister
of Foreign Affairs, he has irritated Germany,
ruf1ed the good will of England and qaarreled
with China. The complete isolation to which
he has reduced France has had natural result
in the outbreak against King Alfonso"

A dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Com
pany from Paris states that M. Ferry yesterday
rendered his resignation as Prime Minister to

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 3.-Lsst night, in the
town of Franklin, in Southampton county, the
straight-out Republicans held a political meet
ing, and while colofed orator named Prescott
was speaking, he was frequently interrupted
the Blackwater river route, Sam Gregory. Not
satisfied with the privilege of interrupting the
speaker, he became incensed at the replies
which the latter made, and, drawing pistol,
shot him. Gregory then made his escape to
the woods, and from last accounts was still at
large. His father, Rev. Joe Gregory was ar
rested for the part he took in the affair, but
afterward escaped, and is also fugitive. The

New YORK, Oct. 3.-Full particulars of the
late hurricane which swept over the island of
Nassau, W. l., were received to-day by the
steamer Cienfuegos. She brought as passen-
gers the captain and crew of the British brig
Peerless which vessel was in port discha rged
and at anchor when the hurricane completely
wrecked her. Also the crew of three-masted
schooner from Bangor, Me-, which parted both
chains and went ashore on Norman's Key. 1t
is seventeen years since Nassau has been
visited by such disastrous storm, notwith-
standing its geographical position relative to
the path of these annual hurri canes. Some
seventy vessels of all nationalities ara now
piled up ON the shores of the island, and in the
fury of the storm eighty lives were lost. Over
one hundred barns we're demolished, and the
crops were all ruined. 1t is thought, how
ever, the island will soon recover its usual
prosperity, and operations had already begun
in that direction.
