MARGARET MATTER.

Something that can be relied upon as be- ing "really good" in the way of 8 theatrical performance will be the appearance of Miss Margaret Mather at Car1ls Opera House, Jan 20, in the famous old English comedy the Honeymoon. A recent number of the Cincinnati Enquirer says of her: 'It is vel come concession to the public as we'll as a splendid evidence of her versatility for Miss Mather to relax from the Shakesperean occa- sionally and give delightful taste of her quality in comedy, in such glorious char acter as Juliana, in Tobin's Honeymoon 3 She was most charming in appearance, her elegant taste in dressing ftly supplementing her personal beauty. There were many -ex- clamations of admiration for her last night, and her acting commanded the most positive approval. As the shrewish girl, the indig- nant bride, the obstinate and spiteful wife, and then as the sweet confding woman, she was all that any just critic might reasonably ask for. She was at home in every phase of her character, and from artistic stand point was commendable in the dance on the green as in the suppressed rage with which she was obedient to her husband while he menaced her with the awful key. While there parts in the repertoire of Miss Mather in which she has the opportuni- ty for the display of greater power, there is none in which she can be more pleasing to a general audience.

Court Of Common PIeas-Judge Tor.

In this court the case of Irwin vs. Lynch was heard yesterday. It is a suit brought by c. Horace Lynch to recover S100for a mastif dog which she is alleged to have poisoned The story of the case was as follows: A friend of Miss Irwin's persuaded her last spring to go into the yard where the mastif was secured by a chain. The friend said that the dog was perfectly docile and harm less and this encouraged Miss Irwin to pet him. She was rewarded by being bitten by the animal in the face and arm. She imme- diately visited the police office and demanded that the dog be killed When this request was refused she threatened to take the mat ter into her own hand. Soon afterwards the dog was found to be poisoned. The case will be continued to-day.

Capitol CT New Jersey Burned.

TRENTON, March GA large por-
ton of the capitol building was
burned early this morning. The
flames were extinguished after four
hours eff fighting. The loss is enor-
nous, The chancery Office, contain.
ing ali the records of the courts of
the state, deeds, etc., was destroyed.
TRENTON. March 21.-Two explos-
ions were heard In the quartermaster
generals office On the first floor at the
northwest corner of the state house,
at 3 o'clock this morning. The ex-
plosions were followed by flames that
shot through the windows, In ten
minutes the apartment was in ruins.
The flames followed the steam-chest
to the floor ebove and quickly set fire
to the offices of the clerk In chan
Gerry. From these, the confagration
extended to the geological museum on
the third fieor. In this were many
valuable state relics, but the most
valuable had been sent to New Or
leans month ago. The battle flags
were rescued by the fremen at the
risk Of their lives. The sword and
saddle of General Kearney were des-
troyed. The fire then moved back
/ toward the dome, and it looked as
though the supreme court room, the
chancery court room and the legisla-
tive chambers would have to 90. The
books and documents were removed
hastily from the offices of the comp
troller. state treasurer and secretary
of state. The fire was finally checked
at Z o'clock, although the engines are
still playing on the ruins
liz order that access may be had
to the chancery vault where there
are exceedingly valuable papers, re
lating to thousands of estates. The
vault has not burned, but it is believed
to be full of water, which will cause
almost as much damage as FIRE.
The loss will not fall below 500, 900.
The entire building was worth
100000. There was liberal insurance
on the structure. The explosion was
caused by confined gas.

Reset on all Sides

By malaria, how shall we escape the dread in
lection? is the question which the denizenS of
fever and ague districts ask themselves. The
answer comes from former sufferers who for
years have escaped the vistations of the periodic
scourge, through the protecting influence of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. When the necessity
for using preventive measures arises, use this
means of prevention at once. It regulates the
liver facilitates digestion and liberates impuri-
ties from the system when such exist by promot'
ing healthful action of the bowels and kidneys.
Act early In all regions where miasmatic vapors
breed disease, it is absolutely necessary to be
provided with safeguard, and this is true, though
a sojourn in such localities is destined to be
brief. No one can afford to breathe malaria for
a short time. The Bitters is sovereign specific
for rheumatism, debility and nervousness Keep
it on hand.

The energetic position of Mexico IN
regard to the warlike Central Amer
can affairs will attract marked atten-
ton. General Barrios, President OF
Guatemala. issued a pronunclamento,
uniting all the nationslities Of Cen
trail America into one, and assuming
command of the united forces OF the
consolidate powers. San Salvador
objected to this highhanded proceed
ing, and appealed for protection to
President Diaz, of Mexico, who has
notified Barrios that he will extend
his protection over the little Central
American republics, and that the
scheme of consolidation must not be
contaminated. There is blood in the
air all around. The republics OF
Central America over which BarriGs
proposed to make himself dictator are
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras,
San Salvador and Costa Rica. The
probability is that the ambitious Bar,
rios will shortly be sqUelched.
