Faust

Mr.. Lewis Morrison and his drama
tic company closed their brief engage
ment at the ellis opera house last
night with presentation of Faust
The play is supposed to follow closely
the version of the best translation.
The Faust Of Goethe is too metaphysi-
cal and too allegorical to make it easy
work for an ordinary com animation.
When taken'in hand by Henry Irving
in his own theatre, where he can COM
mand the aid of museum, electricity
and every possible scenic delusioD, it
is feasible to convert the drama into q
great medieval pageant. Faust" is
conducted by "Mephistophelesr to the
summit of the Hartz Mountains-the
Brocken-and there is supposed
to behold the revels of the lost spirits,
and to be shown at last his own
work, "Marguerite" wandering i'm
space. AS the two stand together,
the devil reviews the evils of life and
the poem takes the form of an allie
CORY. This Broken scene has be-
come famous in London, and has
called to its aid every possible scenic
cOntrivance. Last evening it was
worthy of Mr.. Morrison's keen ability.
The stage setting was all right and
the congregation of witches, wizards,
demon. ghosts, nondescripts and
tiend" was remarkably weird. Other
scenes were beautifully set, especially
THE Square of Fountains, Nurem-
burg and "fhe Garden of Marguer-
ite." 1t is seldom that any company
travels with such handsome sets. Mr..
Morrison makes "Mephistopheles"
more like the devil of Goethe than is
usually depicted by opera singers.
That is, he carries with him less Of
his hOofs and horns and more of his
interference with the affairs of men.
There were some scenes last night
worthy OF special mention; the one in
vOlving the students in the plaza Of
Nuremberg and the tableau of "Valen-
tines" death, closing act third in the
Square of the Fountains, Nuremberg.

A NEW PHASE m POLITICS.
Has CaSSiano Retired TO Give CAL
laghan a Chance Of Being
District Attorney.

District Attorney.
What do I think of Cassiano's re-
tirement," said well known politi-
clan to a LIGHT reporter. "Well L
tell you what, have reason to believe
that in this matter Cassiano has re-
tired to make room for Callaghan. lC
was at one time the intention of demo-
cratic leaders not to have held a con-
ventiOn or to have nominated any
ticket, but in view of circumstances |
know the majority are now in favor of
a ticket, for they believe that the
straight democratic ticket can win,
and look out for convention will be
called shortly"
The frs care is for Callaghan. In
the face of conflicting elements the
mayor doubts whether he can be re-
elected to the office, but thinks. under
strong party action, he can rescue the
office of district attorney from the re-
publican, Paschal, by his own cleo
ton. Either CassianO or Callaghan
would be strong on q ticket. but both
on the same ticket would detract from
each other and injure all. Cassiano
retires on the understanding that Otto
BergstrOm becomes mayor, aud that
heis assured for the nice fat Office of
city collector that can fall to him
like a ripe plum in the city
election. Then again, the
officers trust was based upon
assistance to be rendered to CasSiano.
II he don't want or need that assist
ance, he is not compelled to render
the stipulated equivalent, which may
affect the district congressional race.
The following ticket is the choice of
the leading democrats, and if the
democratic cOnven ton is called, the
following Will be their straight
ticket:
District Judge-Aubrey, Denman or
J. A. Green.
District Attorney-Bryan CAL
laghan.
District Clerk-G. r. Dashiell.
Sheriff.. ?. Mccall.
County Judge-Peter Shields.
County Clerk-Thad w. Smith.
County 4 ttorney-Bart. De Witt.
County Treasurer-L. w. MengeT.
County Collector. ;. Ramsay.
County Assessor-D. NJ. Poor.
Surveyor-E. A. Giraud.
Justices-Herron and Adam.
Constable-Ed. Stevens.
This would make a strong ticket
and under vigorous party action.
Watch the little game and see
whether the political democratic cat
don't jump in the way indicated?

Stage Lite vs.. Husband.

CLARION, Iowa, October 20.-The
grand jury of Wright county has re-
turned an Indictment against Mrs.
Bertha Diggle for the murder of her
husband, Geo. Diggle, on May a..
Mrs. Diggle was playing with dra-
matte company at the time of the al
legged murder, and her husband was
very much averse to her continuing
on the stage and came here to urge
her to return home After much per-
suasion, she consented to quit the
stage, but little later recanted, and
it is asserted they quarreled over the
matter, and she administered NOR
phine to her husband in a glass of
beer. Mrs. Diggle has been arrested,
and her case will come up for trial
next Tuesday.

Later On" a Success.

H. Grattan Donnelly's threc-act
musical farce, Later On, as present.
ed 10y the comedians, Hallen and
Hart, is full of humor. We can safely
pronounce the farce a success. The
play opens at Seaview hotel. OF the
stars very little need be said, for Fred
Hallen's joking, dancing and singing,
and Joe Harris comicalities and
banjo, will always be sure of
cordial welcome in Cincinnati.
Nothing more graceful and
pleasing than the light musical
novelties, dainty dances and marches,
in which the piece abounds, could
well be imagined. The theatre

CRooKsToN, Mimi, Oct. 2O.-While
Captain of Police Hayes was engaged
in conversation with a number of
friends last night, a tramp came up
behind him, drew revolver and fired
six shots at him, one shot took effect
in Mr.. Hayes arm, and two others
entered his left side, he is fatally
wounded. The man was promptly
arrested; the reason he gives for COM
uniting the deed, is that Chief Hayes
arrested him Thursday for being
drunk. The affair has created in
tense excitement, and there is strong
talk of lynching the murderer.

CnIcAGo. April 6.-That was a sad
tale told by Kate Spencer who last night
languished in u cell at the Dcsplaincs
street station. She is the wife of Claude
Spencer, who up to u month ago held an
important position in Maxwel's book
store. He was arrested for reimbursement
and is now in Jail awaiting trial. Al.
though in receipt of a large income he
lived up to his income and within a week
after his arrest his young wife. who was
n stranger in the city, was without q dol
lar. Money was needed, not only to give
her bread Int TO procure legal assistance
for her husband. In her despair she re.
solved that temporary life of shame
was her only resort, but the first night
that she went upon the streets the police
OF the Dcsplaines street station made a
raid and she was among the forty women
who were gathered in. Both husband
and wife arc this morning under one roof
and that u prison.
