1872. SAN ANTONO TEXAS FRIDAY, OClOsER 49, 1888
LEGITIMATE DRAMA.

The lovers of classical drama in San
Antonio have a rich treat awaiting
them at the Grand opera house, this
week and next. Thomas w. Keene is
too well known in the theatrical cir
Giles of this state as an impersonator of
the imperious Richelieu, and the sim
lister Gloster, to require any personal
notice. The patrons of legitimate
drama will welcome him, as usual,
with open arms and warm applause.
His critics agree that he is steadily
rising nearer and nearer the pinacle of
his own lofty ambition, and this sea-
son marks more perfect mastery of
the difficult arts of deliberation and
pose than any previous one.
Following Keene is an actor COM
paratively unknown in Texas, and on
that account only too likely to be
greeted with inferior houses. Those
who tail to see Lewis Morrison s
Faust" will miss one of the most
marvellous presentations Of that
weird, mysterious and semi-super-
natural character, Mephistophele,
ever given on any stage. The metro
politan press are loud in their
cOmmendations of the wonderful repre-
sentation given by Morrison and
lavish in their praises of the marvel
lous setting of the piece, the scenic
effects being such as are seldom pro-
duced on any stage. Comparisons,
not unfavorable to this company, are
made with Irving's immortal presen-
tation of it.
This effort of Manager Mullaly to
give the theatrical world of this re-
mote section drama no whit inferior to
the best productions of the great dra-
matte centers is most heartily to be
commended and the LIGHT does sin
cerely hope that these efforts will be
appreciated in the full houses that
shall greet all such representations of
classic drama as to warrant the bring
ing to this city next season much
larger proportion of pure dramatic
representations than it was wise to
attempt this season. The people of
San Antonio alone are TO blame if a
low order of theatrical talent is shown
on the stage of the Grand. 1t is not
encouraging to have such actors as
Madame Bowers and Count tess D'Arco,
as were witnessed last season and
season before, open to empty benches.
1t is to be hoped that this
season will show such appreciation of
good talent as will warrant the man
agement in engaging only the cream
of the travelling profession next sea-
son. 1t will not be Mr.. Mullaly's fault
if this is not so. Notwithstanding
past discouragements he has booked
for this season very fair number of
really fine actors and that number
will be as largely increased next sea-
son as the patronage extended to that
rant

Colonial Wool Growers.

LONDON, October l9.-At a meeting
of the Colonial Wool Merchants asso-
citation held here, it was decided that
brokers were to be instructed to accept
14-d. per pound at the next series of
sales. The opinions of the buyers on
the question are very much divided
and there is some idea of overruling
this decision.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, October l9.-In
the county seat election, in Grant
county, Kansas, on Tuesday, Ulysses
received clear majority. Two thou
sand one hundred and fifty people of
AppomattOX and other leading towns,
charged General Taylor and Colonel
GRAFT of Hutchinson, with selling
them out to Ulysses, and seized them,
and were threatening to lynch them,
when a sheriff and a large armed
posse arrived. Each town is said to
have put up ten thousand dollars
forfeit, not to use money in the
election. About three o'clock on the
election day, Ulysses men began
spending money lavishly, to buy
votes. The AppomattoX men then
seized Taylor and Grayson, who had
been managing the campaign for
them and forced them to sign war;
ranty deeds for all their property, as
well as checks for SEC, 900 on all banks,
where two had money. Payment on
checks had been stopped, and pro-
ceedings will be commenced to set
aside the deeds. Another county
seat war is feared.
