Beautiful she"

Grand opera house was almost full
to its capacity last night to greet
Webster Brady's "She" company.
The company, owing TO train delay,
was late and the curtain did not rise
until $40. Everyone was delighted
however, with the beautiful scenes.
Particularly fine was the scene of
the sunrise on the African shore, with
the Immense Ethiopian Head of rock
in bold relief against the lurid sky,
made doubly impressive by the rising
sun. The hot pot cave, the swamp
scene and "She's" palace were also
superbly mounted, as was the closing
scene, where "She" steps into the
Games and is turned from "a thing
of beauty" to dried up old bag,
many thousand years old.
The chief feature of the play Is the
scenic mounting and calcium effects,
although the acting was also good
End the story as told by Haggard
as closely adhered to as dramatiza-
ton would admit of. The part of
"She" was well carried out by Miss
Marie Rene, and was perhaps the
best acting of the night. She has
a grave and queenly bearing which,
combined with pretty face and a
soft mellow voice, made her we'll
suited for the role of "Sheu.
Tonight Isl Perkins, exponent
of rural village life, will appear at
the Grand.

The Scheme of Revolution

LISBON, Dec. 9.-Itis stated that the
greater portion of the higher officers
of the Brazilian army were monarch
lists and joined the republican minori-
ty in the recent outbreak in Brazil,
under the belief that the demonstra-
tion was to Re merely against the min
listers and not against the emperor.
They only became aware of the true
facts when they had gone too far to
retrace their steps. When the revo-
luton started, thousands of studen is
armed themselves with revolvers, ri
f1es and swords and threatened to kill
the emperor and his family.

Great Attraction Coming.


A rare dramatic treat is offered the
theatre goers of this city in the APP
pearance of J. M. Hills famous Union
Square Theatre company in Sidney
Rosenfeld's brilliant and amusing
comedy, entitled Possible Case.n
The play is of the same high order as
THE Wife" Jim, the Penman" and
plays of that rank and appeals espec-
cially to the tastes of the refined and
intelligent. 1t is society comedy
and calls for elegant costumes and
fine stage settings, the company car
rying car load of special scenery,
the same as was used in the New
York production. Manager Hill prom
ises as fine a performance in every
respect as has been given in all the
large cities of the country. The play
and company come with the strong
est endorsement Of the press, and
their success on the southern circuit
has been phenomenal. When there
is so much Oh the stage of the present
day that is trashy and sensational,
it is refreshing to be invited to see
a pure comedy interpreted by a SYM
metrical company of artists.

"Mr. Davis has been charged with

and broken at its base, could charge
Cromwell to fling away ambition. All
would climb, and he who fears will
ever be a groveler. Jefferson Davis

Spurious "DOIIars of Our Dad

Chief w. H. beaver, Of the Pinion DE
tcctivc Agency of this city, gives notice
to the people Of Ashcvillc that dangerous
cuuntcrIcits of silver dollars, coinage OF
1888, are in circulation here.
There are two men engaged i'll this
nc(arious business" stated the chief to Il
reporter last night. zone of them is
about five feet, six inches in height,
weighs about 100 pounds, has a dark
complexion, black eyes and hair, and is
about twcnty-uwo years of age. This
shower Of the queer wears a light col
orcd coat and black hat. lis accomplicc
in crime is somewhat smaller in size,
wears small hat turned up all around,
and is about eighteen or twenty years OF
age. Both of them are white men and
have been here about eight days. They
have circulated about eleven dollars, so
far as can ascertain, during their stay
here"
Nv 'Ill't El'llSo S'NNl hhiNiih SSiNNS

ton for catching criminals Of this class,
said Mr.. Dcaver last evening, "but con-
ceivc it to I've nv duty to inform the public
of the snare they will fall ihto if they fail
to watch closely the silver dollars they
receive in future"
The spurious coins, Of which MIR, Dcavcr
has several specimens in his possession,
are almost perfect in their imitation OF
the genuine dollar, and is well calculated
to deceive the unsuspccting. The ring,
it's weight and general execution is re,
markuhly accurate, and the bogus
stuff is ono of the most dangerous
countcricits ever seen in this city. Watch
out for them,

SAFE AND STRONG.
People Attending the Carnival
need Have No Fear.

Preparations for the splendid carnival
are going on with great activity, ana
the capacious building in which it is to
be held already responds to the hand of
taste which is Transforming it with such
brilliant Judgment to its new temporary
uses. We were surprised yesterday to
hear that some apprehension had been
expressed about the safety Of the Struct-
urc. Has it been forgotten already that
ON the same floor, on the occasion OF the
Pearson mmniStratiOnS there were crowd
cd night after night for Il fortnight an
audience numbering from three thousand
to five Thousand people; The projectors
of the carnival are scarcely Sanguinc
enough to hope for that many; those
who attend cannot expect to meet that
many al any out time. We might wish
that both such hope and expectation
would be met. Or is it forgotten that the
same room has held many times since its
construction from one hundred thouS.
and to three hundred Thousand
pounds of tobacco ? The building i'll
fact, SO far as any test of weight
can he applied to it, is exception
ally secure, being supported by several
transverse sectional brick walls. Tie
make assurance doubly sure, Mr.. Ten
ncnt, the city brklding Inspector, ii
whose Judgment and fidelity we have
the utmost confidence, yesterday made 4
thorough and critical examination and
he pronounced the building absolutely
safe and secure. This is enough.
