CHARLOTTE THOMPSON.

The engagement Of this talented actress,
here this and Tuesday evening, is the chief dra-
matte event thus far this season. She will
appear tonight as Phyllis Denohr," in new
dramatization of ozark Days" play that
was produced BY Miss Thompson last season
in the West, and which was received by both
press and public with unssinted approval.
Tuesday night "Jane Eyre" will be offered
The character of Jane Eyre has been made
her own by Miss Thompson, she having
played the part over 1000 times in all parts
of the United States. This is no catch penny
affair but one where the highest order of
dramatic talent will be employed.
The HORSES.
Lewis & Bristol's Educated Horses, that
open at the Coliseum tonight. are going to
have grand reception judging from the feel
ing expressed on all sides and the remarkable
press notices they have received wherever
they have been. The Lewiston Journal of
last week, gives them the following uusolici-
ted notice
The Equescurriculum of Lewis and Bristol
at Music Hall is a wonderful thing. The
horses appear to know nearly as much as
human beings. The attendance, Monday
evening, was large. 1t will be bigger the
rest of the week. The famous Equine Para
dox, which has created such a furore through
out the country, does not begin to compare
in excellence with the rare show Of animal
intelligence made by the Equescurriculum.
1t is continual current surprise. In the
horse show are mules, ponies and horses.
They go to school, do Swiss bell-ringing
acrobatic acts, go to school, receive punish
ment, execute military drill, help the pro
fessor on with his coat, swing in swings, and
distinguish Eyes" mo-" colors of cloth and
directions of distances
Special trains will leave here every night
at I o'clock and the regular afternoon trains
will take passengers to the matinees al one
fare. Seats may now be secured for all the
entertainments at the Fuller Drug store.

The Planets Ina October.

The most interesting event in the sidereal
programme for October is the reaching of his
perihelion by the planet Saturn. 1t takes
place the 2lst at A. NJ, the planet being
then nearer to the sun and also to the earth
than at any other time in his revolution
about the central orb. This revolution oc-
cupies twenty-nine and half years. The
perihelion of Saturn is especially interesting
in its present recurrence. There are three
conditions that, when united give the best
possible views of Saturn. He must be in
perhelion, his ring must be open to their
widest extent, and he must be in opposition,
or in line with the earth and sun, with
the earth in the middle. These
three conditions are nearly united in the
present position of our magnificent brother
in regard TO the earth. He is in perihellon,
his rings are open to their widest extent, and
he is within two months of opposition. Be
sides these fsvoring circumstances. he is also
in his highest northern declination, thus
forming a combination of suspicious condl-
tions that are desirable in the highest degree.
During the month. Saturn is morning star,
arising on the lst about l0.l5 p. NJ, and on
the 3lst at SIS P. NJ. Venus is evening star,
sets on the LIST few minutes before T. NJ.
and on the 3lst at the same time.
Mars is morning star, rises on
the lst about 1890 A. M, and
on the 3lst at 1904 A. NJ. Jupiter is morning
star. rises on the LIST at AIS A. NJ, and on
the slst at PAS A. NJ. Mercury is morning
star until the 10th. and then evening star.
He is in conjunction with Uranus on the 4th
asp. NJ, He rises on the LIST at AS A. NJ,
and sets on the 3lst at P. NJ. Uranus is
morning star and rises on the LIST, quarter
after o'clock in the morning; on the 3lst
he rises at halt-past 8 O'Clock. Neptune is
morning star, and rises on the LIST at half
nast o'clock in the evening; on the 3lst he
rises about half-past O'Clock.

Almost the first individual who met the
eye of Judge II. w. True on his recent re-
turn from his summer home in Ltchfield. was
one of the city wards, who with meek and
lowly mein, awaited the unloosening of the
strings OF the city purse, on the judges door
step. SO it is ever. Wherever this guardi-
an of the city's poor appears he is liable to
be met by those unfortunate people unable to
provide for themselves. During his absence
the past summer, his Office door has been be-
seiged by indigent individuals who
mounted the stairs leading to his sanctum,
and finding the latch string pulled in, sor.
fully retired to seek another overseer of the
poor.
