Weather Points,

Cooler weather close, but how cool is
yet question.
A little sprinkle Of rain dropped late last
night, but It was very scanty fall.
Mercury $50 10 75e yesterday; winds
southerly, and weather fair and cloudy by
turns.
The storm center or area Of low barom-
eter this morning is in the country north
Of ST. Louis, in Nebraska, Dakota and
Iowa, IL southern edge reaching south OF
Keokuk and well toward st. Louis. The
movement was toward the lower lake
region and easterly. II is not very
energetic storm, but the prospects indicate
that we may feel the edge Of Il 10 a slight
degree, and there are increasing indications
Of rain showers for this vicinity tonight,
though we may miss a rain visitation alto
gether for the present. II il very sure,
however, 10 turn off cooler by o-morrow
or next day, 1t may not be
cool enough for frost, but
mercury may fall full % degrees and then
not touch frost point. The winds all over
the south as far up as Cairo were souther-
~ treading eaderly this morning, while
between Cairo and St. Louis and farther
north they were blowing directly oppo-
site, or northwesterly. North Of the
storm area a cold wave Is moving this
way, the wind up there being northwest
and rather light with the mercury al
sunrise from % 70 80 degrees across North.
ern Dakota and Minnesota This GOODNESS
will be certain 70 reach us, though in a
more modified form, within the next A
hours, The weather was threatening thi.
forenoon at Cairo, Nashville and all
around Us. Here at sunrise the mercury
was 70 degrees, and within few degrees
Of the same warmth ~ was enjoyed along
the south coast Of Texas. Very little rain
fell anywhere In the Northwest or South

Special 10 Chicago Evening Telegram,
NEW YORK, November Mr.. Irving
produced the Merchant Of Venice last
evening in the Star Theater, before a dis
tinguished audience. In Shylock he of.
iered his fourth, and so far, the greatest Of
his achievements on our stage--a picture
Of Shakespeare's Jew wholly apart and
distinct from any other that our time has
known, complete and wonderful crea-
ton, treated with the utmost simplicity,
free from the embroidery Of subtle read
ings, new turns of action and far fetched
devices, teaching us no new aspect Of
Shylock, but presenting as bold, as strong,
as original Characterization as the i'm
agination can well conceive. He Is true
Levantine, no bearded, hairy caricature
OF the Hebrew OF convention, but spare,
1.-THE and intellectual, with fine fore
head and scant locks above, the
face hollow, deep marked with
re and covered with thin, uneven
beard and the dark, wide open eyes far
back beneath the heavy brows, full Of pas
sion and eloquent Of the profoundest
depths Of feeling He Is u most interest
ing and picturesque figure In his poor
gaberdine, carrying in his demeanor the
blows and contumely Of Christians, but
grand In his pride of race, his angleness
Of purpose, and the fine tumult Of his rage
and resentment. From every point Of
view, Irvings performance was most tri-
umphant but equally 10 be considered
with II was the Portia Of the evening,
than whom more joyous, graceful and
wholly charming figure has not in a long
time entered upOn our boards.
Miss Terry was delightful. Her yivac-
ity of movement, her eloquence Of ges-
ture, and the FIRE and spirit Of her deliy-
cry fascinated all her hearers and won
their warmest sympathy.

LITTLE RoCK IN a DIG nAGE
Because Minnie Hauk Failed 10
Appear.



AS announced In yesterdays Democrat,
the Minnie Hauk Concert Company gave
Little Rock the shake. The telegram
announcing the serious illness OF the
tenor and baritone has been proven a
base falsehood, and the true cause Of the
failure 10 come seems 10 be the prospects
Of a good business in Memphis, without
the expense Of railroad travel. The I'M
truth Of the telegram from w. II. Falk,
the manager, Is proven by the fact that
the company played Tuesday evening
with their usual success, and announced
ut the close Of the perfoi nance that
they would open the new Mozart
Hall Friday night. The Mem
phis PUBLIC LED0ER yesterday stated
that "the company have decided
not 70 visit Little Rock or
jackson, Miss, and will rest here for a
few days, al tho same time appearing IN
concert tomorrow night 10 dedicate tho
Mozart Society's now hall,
Tho Minnie Hauk Concert Company are
70 give concert tonight at jackson,
Tenn" This shows that the manage.
mont, for some reason unexplained, did
not want 10 come here and had not the
manhood 70 say so, but attempted 10 mis-
lead by intimations that they would come
later. Little Rock people wanted TO hear
Hauk sing, but will now feel Indifferent
since the management have acted In such
shameless manner Manager Little
should institute a suit for damages.
