After several weeks OF hard work
By some of the most skilled mechanics
in town, DIR. ]. L. Williams new Opera
House is nearly completed and viii
soon receive the finishing touches.
Competent and skilled scenic artists
have the scenery and other stage
painting in hand, and tie people Of
Lake Charles can look for something
handsome and most pleasing exhibit,
10 the proprietor is a gentleman Of
taste and has spared no expense to
make this one Of the handsomest Opera
Houses in the South.
The building is one Of the largest
and most cOmmodious, outside of New
Orleans, in the Sontll, aud will do
credit TO our rapidly growing little
city for years to come. The sudito-
rum will be arranged in regular city
style and seat 600 persona, while the
gallery viii accommodate 400 OF more,
making the total seating capacity
something over 1000.
The stage is very large-Soz64-
with opening 26 feet wide and 80
deep, and IS feel from stage to cell
ing, which will permit the largest of
troupes to perform with ease, thus
doing away with the great objection
to most country theatres-want of
necessary stage room.
Large stoves will be placed in the
body of the building as well as in the
dressing rooms, SO that both audience
and performers may be comfortable
during the coolest weather The
dressing rooms are commodious, and
ample room for baggage has baen
provided, which can be taken in OF
ont with ease.
The main entrance, with broad
straight flight!!ofstairs, fronts on Ryan
street, doors opening outwards, SO
that in case of fire the largest audi
enee may retire easily. Side exits
are also provided, in fact everything
about the building is arranged with a
view 10 the comfort and safety of the
people. The floor in the auditorium
is laid with heavy, narrow flooring of
best quality, so that the lovers Of the
Terpschicorean art may be aecommo-
dated. The building has an Asbestos
fire proof roof, covered with cement,
and the entire edifice is painted with
Asbestos fire proof paint.
Mr.. Williams deserves no little
amount Of praise in taking the initia-
tive in constructing the first three
story building in Lake Charles, as it
forcibly demonstrates that solid bust
ness men have every confidence in the
future of our town, and to back their
Judgment they invest their money in
its improvement. We learn the Opera
House will be open for business by
Christmas.

The Onachita Telegraph says that
on last Saturday morning a Miss
Emma Smith, living in Webster par
ish, arrived in Monroe and put up at
the Parker House. Shortly after
Mayor Endom received telegram
from her sister, Mrs. Ida DAVIS, to
detain her here. No charge was pre-
ferred, and of course, no arrest was
made, but the police kept the lady
under surveillance until Monday, when
she gave them the dodge and escaped
from the town. Her sister, Mrs.
Davis, arrived on Mondays train in
search of her and was greatly tiisap-
pointed to find her gone. The mys-
terry surrounding the affair excited
considerable curiosity. Upon inves-
tigation it was found that Miss Emma
Smith and Mrs. Ida Davis are daugh-
tiers of aged and highly respected
parents living in Webster parish, and
but recently the disclosure was made
that they we're the wife of the same
man. Davis is drummer and was
recently arrested in Washington City
and win be brought back 10 answer q
charge of bigamy. Miss Emma Smith,
the Telegraph concludes, was fleeing
from the wrath to come, for she knew
of her sisters marriage to Davis We
say deal with the sconndreI as the law
directs.
