ADJUSTMENTS.
Bartley campbeIl's white Slave" at
Po~ers's.

The audience at Powers's last night was
fair IN size, probably attracted BY the artistic
eolors Ia the hthographing which heralded
the approach CT the play and the fact that
auusements have been rather scarce Of late
The play, white Slave, was produced here
some thres years ago, and in al probability
scarcely any body that saw il then. especially
the critical theater- goer, was present last
night, though the present company has con
siderably improved the mechanical effects in
the production of the piece. The sentiment
which prevails IN the '.Nhite Slave" has
been worn out ia Uncle Toms Cabin" a
play which, if memory Is faithful, has been
produced here. Ii appeals mainly for sym
pathy with the negro when he hob
bled about the plantation under the
spear of the masters lash before
the war. Had the play been written and
produced previous 10 the unyeiling of Harriet
Beecher Stoves effort there Is no doubt that
it would have enjoyed the same popularity
which for SO many years made
Uncle Toms Cabin" household
word in the land. But it didn't; therefore it
must be received with the sensation peculiar
of a ''wet deck" That is it lacks in arousing
admiration by motive, sentiment or effect.
The accessions and examinations are noisy.
and fail 10 excite or enthuse. However, il Is
unfair to be coldly critical, as the majority
of the audience present, those in the dress
circle and gallery saw much TO appreciate,
Judging from the applause and shouts, with
which some of the situations were received
in the locality named.
The company calls for no especial notice,
for to refer TO the majority of them would be
to do so unfayorably, and as they all believe
themselves to be remarkably talented actors
it is best to allow them the enjoyment of the
delusion. Miss Newman as Lisa deserves
credit for conscientious effort, giving her
part the flavor of thorough intelligent con-
sideration, and suggesting that with some
thing more adapted to her talent and study
she would be more successful. Mr.. White,
one of the old time negro delineators, gave
no occasion for critical consideration in the
part assigned. His performance was artistic
and smooth, and Mr.. White as JOB captured
the good will of the audience by his dialect
and specialties. Mr.. Herman as Britton was
passable, excepting the ginger ale-phizz ac-
cent he gave to his SIS, which impressed one
as though as it was courted for effect. The
balance of the company do not demand any
space. The play may be seen again this
| afternoon and evening, and as there is no
| question but it will prove entertaining to n
good number of the lovers of the drama in
this city it is fair to hope for a good at
| tendance.

a New Carving Mac hine.

A beautiful piece of machinery, and prob
ably the most complete and perfect carving
machine yet invented is the work of A.
Dodds. machinist, at 81 Mill street, this city.
Mr. Dodds has just finished and set in po-
sition the first sample of this improved car
yer at his factory, and TELEGRAM reporter
witnessed its operations yesterday. The
machine is composed of securely -braced
frame work that fastens to the ceiling; two
main shafts, the upper one bearing tight and
loose pulleys and speed wheel, the lower
lower bearing the carving tools; and belt
shifter in easy control of the operator. The
main feature of the new invention is the alb
sence of all arms or braces, that moro or less
hinder the work of the operator and cause a
waste of time. Work of any length can be
passed under the carver in this machine
without reversing ends or any useless study.
It is built solid and firm, and when the ma
chine is in motion no vibrating or variation
is seen in any part.

The womAns EXCHANGE.
One OF Grand Rapids Most Com
mendable ENTERPRISES.


Ia city the size of Grand Rapids the
wants, eonyeniences and demands Of tbs
various grades Of society. are Ia 3 great
measure mutually dependant. These wants
aud demands Of many families are such that
the household cares OF the female heads pre-
vent ministering TO them as they would
ke, while portion Of these wants az least
could be readily and satisfactorily supplied
b. other households with a proper adjust
ment Of the means 10 the ends. To supply
sneh demands and make one household help
fnl 70 another, the Woman's Exchange, Ao.
30 Monroe street, was organized Through
IL nediamship, ladies who have taste or
capacity for a certain specially IN household
work, make during their leisure hours, such
food or raiment, plain or fancy, a. the gen
eral taste or necessity of Others may require,
and the manager OF the Exchange receives
and disposes of them at the most honorable
terms to those who may be needing them.
BY this plan the most satisfae-
tory results have been obtained IN
this city. Socials, evening parties, progress
siye euchre parties, family reunions, wed
dings and balls have been supplied with the
best refreshments, made in the most sat s.
factory manner, and by ladies' 20 whom the
compensation returned has been of the most
grateful and deserving kind. Among Il Q
supplied, and which have been ordered y
many of the leading families in the city, not
only for social purposes but for every day
use, are salt and yeast rising home made
bread, fancy and plain cakes, maringues,
Charlottee Russo, plain sewing, stamping
for embroidery, fancy work, babies outfits,
mended garments for ladies and gentlemen,
china painting, pickles, salads, jellies and
canned fruits for family use. Lessons in
EN- broidery and ribbon work, alone or in
classes, are also given at the Exchange.
Ladies wishing to become members of the
Exchange can do so by purchasing yearly
ticket for one dollar, when the most
liberal rules govern all their
business transactions with the organ
ization. The patronage already extended to
the Exchange, has been of the most helpful
kind to many worthy ladies who by this
means are enabled TO support themselves and
little ones honorably and respectfully when
other avenues would seem TO be closed. Such
an institution would seem to recommend
itself to every one as worthy of every encour-
agement, and the work accomplished through
such means in other cities, should guarantee
its success in this.

improvements made III the upper portion of
