MUSIC AND DRAMA.
FoRGET-sIE,Sor.


Owing to the pressure on our columns this
morning, we are unable to give Miss Wards
Stephanie in Forget Me Not" the extended
notice it deserves. The audience was not as
large as it should have been, but 1t was COM
posed Of some Of the most critical and
fashionable Of society people, and it is sufti-
cient to say they were thoroughly delighted.
Miss Wards Stephanie is as superb piece
OF acting as ever, and the lady's dressing
was magnificent. Mr.. Vernon, the leading
man, was all that could be desired, and the
support excellent. 1t Is to be hoped that the
Queens Favorite'' will draw great au-
dience tonight.
LITTLE EMILY.
The Atkinson q Cook company presented
Little Emily at City Hall last evening to a
good sized audience. 1t was a well pleased
audience, too, judging from the frequent
and hearty applause that resounded through
the hall during the evening. Miss Banks
acted the part of Little Emily in a manner
perfectly suited to the part, and was called
before the curtain at the close of the third
act. Mr.. John T. Craven as Mieawber took
the house by storm, and his conception Of
the part was satisfying to the most critical
Dickens student he was twice called be-
fore the curtain. The rest Of the characters
were portrayed in an excellent manner, Mr..
Sullivan assuming the part Of Mr.. Peggotty
and acting out the regular babby in the
form of sea porcupine" in fine manner.
Eugene Ormand as Ham, John II. Conner
as Uriah Heep, Miss Esther Robbins as
Betsy Trotwood, Miss Ella Mayer as Mrs.
Micawber, and Richard Smith as Miss Gum
midge were among the more noticeable for
the manner In which they assumed their
parts. The scenery was good,

Why the Grounds at the White
House were closed.
Another Faithful Official Asked to
Resign an important Position.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Grounds for the
contest of Speaker Carlise's seat in the fifti-
eth Congress have been prepared and were
signed last night by George II. Thoebe, the
contestant. The allegations are numerous,
and it requires forty-fye pages of legal cap
to recite them. The petition starts out by
alleging that there were cast for Thoebe
1000 legal votes in the sixth Congressional
district Of Kentucky, which by omissions,
mistakes or frauds, and collusions of election
officers Of the various precincts :and voting
places, and of the county canvassing boards,
were not counted andreturned. 1t is charged
that the poll books and returns of Taumble
county we're all in violation of the law and
were opened within less than three days af-
ter the election. Thoebe objected to the
county being c0unted because the ballot
boxes We're in the custody of the county
clerk, and exposed and liable to be tampered
with by any evil disposed person. The OBJ
lection Is made to the vote of Grant and
Gallatin Counties, in which all sorts of
frauds are alleged. In the county of Car
roll, which was returned as being In favor Of
Carlisle many Irregularities are alleged. 1t
is claimed that in many of the precincts
throughout the district all of the election
officers were Democrats, which is in direct
flOidtiOu VI lut law III COulby Oh h6n-
ton, Carlisle's old home, q number OF irreg-
ularities are set forth A copy of the peti-
tion was given to Speaker Carlisle last night,
with copy of the notice of the contest.
Why the Grounds were Cleared.
The order recently issued by the President
to Colonel John M. Wilson, requiring the
gates leading through the White House
grounds to be closed in the morning until af-
ter O'Clock, was made necessary by the an
noying conduct Of some Of the clerks from
the departments, who behaved in a way
which, to say the least, was ungentlemanly.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland, since
their return from the Adirondacks, have
been in the habit Of taking an hours stroll
before breakfast, on such mornings as the
weather would permit, in the grounds at the
rear of the White House. This having been
observed by some of the clerks from the
treasury, they made practice of Fastening
TO the place each morning, always acc0mpan-
led by number of friends. Their annoying
behavior reached climax not long age, when
they actually formed in line and following
the President and Mrs. Cleveland from the
moment they entered the grounds until they
were forced to retreat into the house again,
kept step with them, walking close enough
to overhear their conversation. This behav-
ior very naturally exhausted the Presidents
much-tried patience, and he resolved to pre-
vent its recurrence in the only way possible,
by having access to the grounds debarred to
any one until after the hour for opening the
departments
