MRS POTTER'S PERFORMANCE She Plays to a Small House and Elicit
 Very Little Applause.

She Plays to a Small House and Elicits
 Very Little Applause.
 Those who went to the Opera House last evening expecting to see a beautiful wo- man were not wholly disappointed, for Mrs James Brown Potter has handsome face ard issome figure, but imperfec- tions in her form are readily discernible even to the untrained eye. Nature has done much for her, but it has not endowed her with any remarkable elocutionary pow CTS. Her acting is strained and unnatural and when her carriage should have been stately and graceful she strode across the stage as if she were mounted on stilts. It would be superfuous to criticise at length her portrayal last evening of Inez in 'Ioyal Love-" That has already been done by the best critics of this country and England. The name of Mrs. James Brown Potter will never be enrolled with such histrionic stars as Mod jeska, Rhea, Janescheck, Fanny Daven- port, Margaret Mather and Mary Anderson. Kyrle Bellew, as Pedro, and Henry Lee, as Gonzales. did some very clever acting and contributed much to make the perform ance creditable one. The rest of the support was very poor, but was well calcu- lated to make conspicuous all the merit the leading lady possesses. The audience was small and the performance was over at 10 o'clock. There was scarcely any applause except at the end of the third act, when Mrs. Potter was called before the curtain.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

Clarkson, the noted Chicago pitcher, says he would like to sec Mike Kelly with Q Chi cago uniform in right field.
 Mir. J. w. Spalding says the Cincinnatis will bc the showiest team on the ball field next season, with their many colored uni- forms.
 Smiling Mickey Welch will be found with New York uniform on, notwithstanding all rumors to the contrary.
 From all appearances the remainder of the New York combination will sojourn on the Pacific slope for some time yet. The climate agrees with them.
 There will be an interesting fight between the Brooklyn and Cincinnati clubs next sea son for first place. However, the chances are in favor of the latter. Silver King is looked upon as the star twirler of the St. Louis Browns for the season of 1888, and will be expected to do the bulk of the work for that club
 Manager Phillips, of the Pittsburg club, announces that nearly all his spring dates have been arranged. He has few left, and any club desiring games should communicate with him.
 The fifty cent gate admission to the Amer ican association games is creating quite a stir in the different cities which contain As sociation clubs. It is thought that the scheme will not be a success It is now believed that Manager Williams will take his Cleveland club south in the | spring. Should he do so he will open at | Macon, Ga, on or about March 15. He will meet other clubs down there. Big Dave Foutz, one of Brooklyn's new l pitchers for next season, is doing some tall | work in the box this winter for the St. Louis combination, now in California. It is hoped he will keep it up next season.
 It will not be astonishing to see Buck Ewing occupying the pitchers box next season. Buck is doing great work in that line this winter on the Pacific slope He seems to be as good in one place as another.

A DEAR SUIT FOR TEE STATE.
Four Days Spent Over $500 Case With
 nut Verdict.

Four Days Spent Over $500 Case With out Verdict. The jury in the case of Kellogg against Hall, action to recover $500 for cornmis- sions on goods sold, failed to agree. The case has been on trial in the District Court for four days and was given to the jury aS 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 6 o'clock they reported disagreement, and were excused for the night, Foreman Welton of Plymouth expressing the opin- ion that they might come to some agree ment this morning. But their delibera- tions this morning did not change matters, and at 1915 they reported disagreement
 'Do you think it possible to agreee'' asked the court.
 ''It is not' was Foreman Welton's re- sponse, and the papers were returned to counsel
 This is the result of the first jury case by which the state is out about $175 and nobody has profted by the litigation ex- cept the lawyers. The jury get $2.5O and mileage, and the services of sheriff and constable are required, all of which ex- pense is borne by the state, footing up for the four days more than half the amount at stake.
 A new jury was immediately impaneled to try the case of E. R. Lampson & Go asalns' n A. W. Drohson. '1eorge III: rem of Prospect was excused by the plaintiffs, and the court excused Benjamin L. Bron- son and Ransom B. Hall of Wolcott. Terry x Bronson appeared for the plaintiffs, and Cowen and Kendrick for the defendant. The suit is brought to recover $500 on contract which the plaintiffs took to do the timing, plumbing, etc, on the defendants brick tenement building on South Elm street. The defendant refused to pay the full amount on the ground that the condi- tions of the contract were not complied with. The work was done over two years ago.

 Cunningham, Waterbury's redoubtable rusher, gave fine performance at the rink last evening. He was ably supported by Frazier and Griffin Hill was a veritable back-stop at half-back and Babbitt's playing at goal was simply phe- nominal Meriden's team played in bad luck. They worked hard but either drove wide of the mark or into Babbitt's legs and feet. The passing of the home team was at times skillful and their driving was a feature of their fine work, Cunningham leading.

DIPHTHERIA IN DECEMBER.

DIPHTHERIA IN DECEMBER.
 A Marked Decrease in Cases and Number
 of Deaths.
 There is marked decrease in the mum Der of cases of diphtheria and deaths re- Frost during the month of December. The decrease has been very great since October, when there were 88 cases, IA of which proved fatal. In November there were GA cases, 8 of which were fatal. In December the decrease was much greater, there being only IS cases, 7 of them fatal Thus far in January there have been only cases, ? fatal. No fail ure of attending physicians to notify him of cases of contagious diseases has come to Dr. Frost's notice. He, however, says that he experiences great difficulty in iso- lating cases and in many instances has to use stringent measures to avoid the spread of the disease. The sign, ''Diphtheria Here" is one of the most eff fective devices, and when this fails the only way is to place the house in quar- antine by placing night and day watch to prevent any but the proper authorities from going and coming, but this Dr Frost has never had to resort to. the mention of it having the desired effect on people who object to the health regulations.
 It is hackneyed subject but one which will bear repetition until the cause is re- moved. There is no doubt that this infec- tious disease can be traced to unhealthy surroundings and lack of sewerage. Fol instance, 12 of the IS cases in December occurred in streets that are without sewer. The other cases were in Canal street, East Main street and Park avenue. There were two cases on Park avenue, but they oc- cured in the vicinity of the standing pond of water set back by dam at Platt Broth CTS establishment on Elm street. The cases on Canal street and East Main street cannot be traced, but may have been due to contagion. The fatal cases occurred on Waterville rod, and Emerald, McGill Baldwin, Fuller and Green streets. During the year there were 255 cases of dysentery and only IA of them in streets that are severed. The city has been remarkably free from scarlatena the past year.

FATHER Of The PAhT1.
The death of Mr.. White, at Sewickley,
near PitUsburg, Pa, is the removal of a
veteran who, in his active days, was a
powerful leader-intense in his convictions
and indefatigable and courageous in their
advocacy. In the stirring times preceding
secession he was an uncompromlsing oppo-
nent of slavery, and in 1885 published a call
for county convention to form a new
party. The call had few signers, but when
the convention met every district in the
county was represented A strong ticket
was nominated, and from this sprung the
Republican party. The following year a
convention was held at Lafayette Hall,
Pittsburg, and the national organization
was formed. Mr.. White thus made for him
self place in the pages of history.
He was born in Wareham, Plymouth
county, Mass, Aug. %, 1906, was educated
in the common schools, learned the trade of
printer, and vas engaged in the book and
job printing business in Pittsburgh several
years previous to his purchase of newspa-
per in that city, which occurred on Jan. /,
1S41. For almost eighteen years he owned
and edited the paper. He then retired from
business, but did useful public service at
Sewickley, which was his place of residence
He was Collector of Internal Revenue of
the Twenty-third district of Pennsyl-
vania, for four years; a member of the
House of Representatives from Allegheny
county for three years, and delegate at
large to the Constitutional Convention of
1884, serving on the Committee on Legis-
lature and Printing and Binding.
Mr.. White was a member of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, and for many years
took leading part in the conduct of it's
affairs. Throughout his long life, covering
period of 81 years, he commanded and
secured the respect and esteem of all with
whom he became acquainted.

used to go to the North Beach baths early
IN the morning, and, passing, he would look
in on old Rosenthal and sit and talk with
him, often getting a button sewed on his
coat, or a patch or a tear sewed up for moth

his taste and his labors, and next month he
raised the rent $50.
