NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.

Tonight at the New Haven Opera House Louis James and Marie Wainwright will ap- pear in ''Virginius" and tomorrow night in "Othello." They are both artists of decided ability. An exchange says of Louis James: His 'tVirginius" is so far creditable to him as to commend praise for it's artistic finish, its intelligent tempering and dramatic pose. Miss Wainwright is an actress of great charm and ability equal to her personal grace. Mir. James has fine, manly pres ence, a rich, mellow vocal volume and qual- ity Miss Marie Wainwright, the wife of MT. James and who will be starred jointly with the eminent actor, is an actress of rec ognized ability. She has been before the public for eight years only, but she has won the reputation of being the best exponent in the United States of Shakespeare's women. Her debut was made in 1878 at Booths The ater, New York, as 'Juliet." MT. George Rignold was the ''Romeo" of the occasion. Her success was instantaneous. Miss Vain wright took part in the memorable perform ance at Booths Theater in the following year when six leading actresses each enacted portion of the role of ''Juliet." Miss Wainwright joined the Boston Theater com pany and made 8 pronou ced success in "The Exile"

MARCUS MAYER IN MEXICO.


 Up Patti's Engagement.
 BOSTON, Dec. 12.-A Mexico special to the Herald says: The genuine Marcus R. Mayer, United States, arrived to-day. There can be no doubt he is all right as have met him in the United States. Mr. Mayer, however. came well fortihed with proofs that he is what the Mexicans call legitimate. Secre- tary Bayard vouches for him to Minister Manning and Edward Orin of the American circus knew him on sight. MT. Mayer went not to the Hotel Thurbide like his per senator, but to the Hotel Jordan where Min ister Manning lives. He will begin the sale of seats shortly at advanced prices on those charged by the fugitive swindler. The money will be deposited at the London bank for safe keeping. Everything will be done in manner to quiet any possible suspicious of the Mexican public and no doubt Mime. Patti on her appearance here on the night of De- cember 30 will have big house. She will sing four nights, the last early in Jan uary. Your correspondent called this evening on the governor of the federal district, who is trying to catch the fugitive swindler, who it is believed to day is in the State of Guanjanita. It seems he bought 0 good horse for $500 in San Miguel de AL lende, but rode off without paying for him, which will make serious additional charge against him if he is caught. He bought an- other horse at Dolores, where he represented himself as 8 railway engineer engaged in the National roads new survey. He paid for this animal $200 and rode off At the office of the chief of police here they say that the false Mayer has dyed his moustache and even surmise that he has changed the color of his eyes, which must be some new Yankee trick. He has $5,000 in American gold with him besides SEQ. 0.000 in Mexican bank notes Some surnlise that he will go to Tampico to em- bark there on a vessel for Europe or the Stutes. The genuine MT. Mayer is receiving much social attention and is enjoying his trip

A Priest Charged with Smuggling


 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 12.-The Rev. Father
 Palmer, one of the cathedral priests, was ar
 rested to-day on warrant issued by United
 States Commissioner Wright charging him
 with surreptitiously importing wines which
 he afterwards sold to ,barrooms. The afi- dayit was made by J. W. Sachs, against whom the priest began an action two days
 ago for the custody of two little orphan girls
 whom he had placed in the care of Sachs at the request of their sdying father. It ap- pears that Father Palmer, who also adds the sale of milk to his duties as priest, com pelled the little girls to deliver milk to bar
 rooms After being frequently ill-treated and abused in the saloons the girls refused to deliver the milk any longer, whereupon the priest chastised, one of them severely with heavy leather strap. It also appeared
 that the priest has not contributed anything to the support of the children in months and that he refused to allow them to be sent to relatives in Germany unless he was reim-
 bursed in $700, which he said he had expend- ed upon them.
