CLUNIE OPERA HoUsE.-The performance
by the new company at the Clunie Opera
House last night was a great improvement
over that of the opening night There was
no change in the cast nor any in the lines.
but the nice attention to little details on
the part of each actor that rounds and
completes a performance was given, and as
result the melodrama was PLAYED with a
| very close approach to reality, and with
such warmth and feeling as to rouse the
audience to outbursts of enthusiasm. 1t

OF wee. MIR. Lansing, the leading man,
proved himself to have capacity to inter

Cotton far exceeded expectations, and de-
veloped still larger ability to lose her per-
sonailty in the role assumed. In short,
| there was even excellence throughout the
| troupe, which in less somber pieces might
prove itself to be one of much merit.
The more the new theater is examined the
better it is liked. is admirable in its APP

no one spending an evening in it viii have

case of any possible panic. 1t is we'll
understood to be a very serious venture to
maintain a resident company in a COM
mhnlty where the theater-goers are so
limited in number. The expense of run

! heavy, and the public will watch for the

holding one thousand people, if half filled
| each night, will pretty thoroughly exhaust
| the theater-going capacity of the town in a
short time. Variety and frequent change
would appear to be a necessity as well as
low prices. This will, of course, be the
endeayor of the managers. They have
started so bravely and well, and have done
so much for the comfort of their audiences,
that the wish is unanimous and expressed
among theater-goers that they shall have
compensatory patronage. waiting for the

An INDIGNANT BooTBLAcK.-Last even
ing, about o'clock, there was trouble at
Seventh and J streets. What fora Won

lika black niggah man lighta his cigara nv
Tampa, and then the Italian shoeblack at
the corner referred TO jumped up and down
rs If he had the Saint Vitus dance. The
cullud gemman, who was about six feet
tall and as dark as the ace of spades, felt
somewhat indignant, and remarked that
he did not perpose to have any gemman
interteah with his rights as an American
citizen, and he perposed to knock the eye
sight blind Of any italian who interfeahed
Wld him. The shOeblack sent bottle of
backing at him, but as the colored citizen
thought he was black enough, he ran as fast
as his legs could carry him, across ] street
into China Hall. No sooner had he disaD-
peared than the native son of Italy got very
mad, pulled out his six-shOoter. and fol-
lowed into China Hall. The colored man
pulled out his pistol, and for a moment ii
looked as if there would be work for the
Coroner and some expense for the county.
MI Burns, not desiring to have any blood
shed on his sidewalk, induced them to
leave the vicinity. The dark-complexioned
citizen was then first to go, and the native
son of Italy followed rapidly after. As
races are generally won by the long-legged
ones, the former got away, and the Italian
| swore, as he left off running, that "no
nigga shall lghta his cigara at my Tampa"
