COLLAPSE OF AN OPERA HOUSE
Fifteen Tons of Beans Stored in an
Upper Room Cause the Crash.

Upper Room Cause the Crash.
Myers Opera House, at El Paso, Texas,
one of the most beautiful buildings in the
Southwest, is in ruins. The flooring i'll one
of the stories on the first floor of the building
gave way and brought down into the cellar
several iron pillars and girders that sup
ported the proscenium and the octagon
dome, A portion of the stage came down
with the rest. Fortunately there were few
people in the opera house ut the time and no
one was injured.
A second crash occurred and the entire
dome of the opera house. with the roof and
part of the third story walls went down.
The walls fell outward; one part crushed
small wooden building adjoining the opera
house. No one was injured by this second
collapse. The building is owned by Henry
A. Niger, Of Camden, Ark. The architect
says the floor was broken by q pile of about
fifteen tons Of beans in sacks owned by n
wholesale grocer. The building cost about
$4,000 and will probably be total loss.

Carson Theater.

The play OF Othello was presented
to very large audience on Thurs
day evening and we only write the
truth when we say it was the grand
est legitimate performance ever Civ
en- in Carson. We can we'll imagine
why the late great actor e. V.
Brooke had Mr.. Warner play
Olhello to his Iago. 1t was such q
performance on Thursday night that
will ever linger III our memory.
AFR. Warmers Othello is a master
piece-noble in his bearing-tender
and generous in his nature until his
jealousy is aroused when in his
grand and towering passion tie end
is reached and the, deception OF
which he has been the victim is re-
allied and he dies by his own hand !.
The support was exceilent-Miss
Belle Chippendale played the gem
tie Desdemona in an excellent man
aer In such parts as Desdemona
and Parthenia she carries out the
authors idea of the characters
Miss May Nannary was very good
as Emelia and deservingly applaud
ed in the fourth act. Sir. Lansing
was a very agreeable Cassie and
the Iago of Mr.. Turner was noted
for care and attention. Mr. Bar
rett as Brabant;o and Mr.. Patterson
as Roderigo and Mr.. Sedley as Lodo-
Woo were good. Last night the
Geneva Cross was played before
good house. The season closes to-
day with the matinee Cline and

several citizens Othello viii! be re-
peated for the last performance to-
night.

Whit Made Senator Hendricks
Nervous.

St. Louis Republic: An intimate friend
of the late Vice President Hendricks said
the other night that although the distin-
guishcd Indianian was at all times q ready
and fluent talker, he could never feel at
ease if he knew that his wife was among
his auditors. For that reason Mrs. Hen.
bricks seldom had the pleasure of hear
ing her distinguished husband speak un-
LEES she could step quietly into the audi
encc and get a seat so far removed that
she felt positive her husband would not
notice her presence.
One night at Indianapolis several promi-
net gentlemen were at the Hendricks
mansion, and among the number Senator
Voohees. This matter happened to be
discussed, and the latter thought it quite
remarkable. The gentleman quoted above
also said that Mrs. Hendricks did not
hear any of the great speeches made in
the senate by Mr.. Hendricks. but, of
course, she read them all. Often he
would say to her: ELIZA, l would feel
honored at your being present when l
speak, but it embarrasses me, and for the
life of me l can't tell why" There was
never a more devotedhusband than Thos.
A. Hendricks, and it was, perhaps, his
great admiration for his wife that made
him think he would not be able to do Just
ice to his subject if he knew she were
present and expecting 80 much of an eff.
fort on his part. This is probably the
only waytoaccount for his strange en-
barrassment.
