AT THE TIaEATERS.
The Opening of the Fall Season
The Grand OPERAS IIIunsin a ii ON

The Opening OF the Fail Season-.-
The Grand OPERAS Illumination.
Few of the 25, 600 people who yesterday
attended the Exposition. and the so.
who were on the streets last evening to
witness the various illuminations, evidently
attended the theaterS last evening. At the
opera house the auditorium was well filled
with a fashionable audience, a fact that
must have been exceedingly gratifying to
the management, which had fully ap-
preciated the strength of the counter attrac-
tons, and feared dire results in conse-
Quence. The incandeScent electric
lights, which have recently been
placed throughout the house, flooded
the auditorium with a rich and mellow
light, and made it as light as day, the effect
being simply delightful. For the first time
the beauties of the rich freScoeS and orna-
mentations were probably fully appre-
GATED The lights are arranged in clusters
and rows, and various designs Of the
colored globes give an enchant-
ing appearance to the illumination.
Sol Smith Russell and an excellent COM
pany presented for the first time the new
play written especially for Mir. Russell by
Cal Wallace, Jr. Its plot is sufficient to
carry the interest along to rather ludi-
crous but happy denouement, and affords
the comedian abundant opportunities for
the play of his various eccentricities.
The dialogue is exceedingly sprightly,
and the songs were nearly all original.
Three very pretty ladies take the parts of
PAS" daughters, Miss Emma Hagger, as
the childish prattIer," being especially vi
vacious. Fred p. Ham, as "A. SparticuS
Hubbs, medical student in embryo" made
a decided hit. and the balance of the cast
was well taken.
AT OTHER THEATERS.
The Casino caught the lightest house of its
short but prosperous history, and presented
Girofie Giroha to a small but appreciative
audience.
At Pence opera house an average audience
enjoyed a credItable production of the ven
cradle drama called The Streets of New
York
The dime museum drew immense crowds at
night. The Mikado by u juvenile opera COM
pany is the attraction.
Eight hundred people yesterday attended
the panorama of the battle of Atlanta.
The Comique caught its usual Monday nigh
house.

New Orleans Picayune.
On st. Mary street. near the levee, the
reporter met young negro woman walk
ing toward the river carrying pillow slung
over her right shoulder. She looked neither
to the right nor the left, but straight ahead,
with such strange expression that the
curiosity of the reporter was aroused.
''Whither are you going?' he inquired.
Pm a-going to the ribber, "she answered,
"to drown dis yer voodoo pillow. Oars a
big hoodoo charm in dat sar; it made my
old father so sick dat for de last two weeks
he's ben a-gong out of his head and a-get-
ting thinner and thinner. l lowed as dere

''What was it?" queried the reporter.

udder and dive under de water. and den

This superstitious belief caused the re-
porter to smile, and he tried to reason with
the woman, but she shook her head and
said: 'sDe voodoos am mighty powerful
people, sar; dey kin hurt sures your
born"
A few days afterwards the reporter
met the same woman, and jokingly inquired
about the ''vocdooed" pillow.
''Oh," she said, de ole man is all rite
now; he kin eat whole watermilyun and
four slices o. bacon and big chunk O. corn
bread for dinner now. Yes, sar, de feathers

Found Another xonD.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-While patrolling
South Park avenue. Officer Brown was at
tracted to the rear of No. 2400 by crowd
of people intenty looking at some object
on the ground which none seemed disposed
to pick up. The object was a gas-pipe
three feet long, with one end solidly
plugged up with lead. At the other end
long fuse and three matches were
attached. 1t resembled a dynamite
bomb similar to those which of late
have been found in all parts
of the city. 1t was placed directly under
the kitchen window OF the residence which
is occupied by Mr.. Sprume, board of
trade man. The deadly-looking instrument
was gingerly handled by the officer, who
carried it to his station for the inspection
of his superiOrs. These too. gave the
thing the cold shoulder and after a short
elaboration it was decided to throw it into
the lake, being too dangerous for examina-
ton. 1t is the largest bomb yet discovered.
