Amusement,

On Tuesday evening, Feb. 10, Mr.. Chas
L. DAVIS (Alvin Joslin) will present his new
play, "One of the Old Stock" in which Mr..
Davis carries all the scenery, properties,
rugs, lamps, pictures, carpets, curtains,
brc-a brac, piano, chandeliers and furniture
used in this production, and they are the
property Of Chas. L. Davis, imported and
manufactured expressly for this play, and
carried in special palace baggage car;
handsomest ever built cost $40 ,0OO Special
care has been paid to every detail in this
play; nothing has been overlooked. In the
scene of Uncle Alvin's home everything is
historically correct; the spinning wheel and
dishes are over one hundred years old, and
came to this country in the May ytiower, and
were presented to Mr.. Davis by one of the
original Standish families, Plymouth, Mass.
The Fifth avenue mansion in Act 8 is con,
ceded by critics the handsomest scene ever
painted. The blending OF colors is an
achievement.
Mr.. Davis carries everything used in "One
Of the Old Stock" and borrows nothing.
The stage settings are indispu.ably the finest
in the world.
HAUDE BANKS APPEARANCES HERE.
Sherwood's opera house will be occupied
next Friday and Saturday evenings by the
gifted American actress, Msude Bands Ia
daugter of Gen. Banks, and her excellent
company, which. includes the popular actor,
W. A. Whtecar. The Des Moines Leader
thus speaks of her appearance there last
week in the two parts she will essay here,
namely, "Leah, the Forsaken,' and Pauline
in "lhe Lady of Lyons"
"The pleasant surprise in dramatic circles
this week has been the engagement Of Miss
Miss Maude Banks at the Capital City opera
house This gifted young lady came among
US without her advent having been heralded
bs the articles so often employed to attract
the attention Of the public to a new candi'
date for their favor. But in this quiet and
modest fashion Miss Banks has come and
she has conquered. Her presentations have
been admirable. Something of the Prone
thean fire quickens her soul to action, and
early attention. to the thrice beautiful art Of
acting has developed in her nature more
than that genius which leads sincere devo-
ton on to greatness. There is plenty Of
room on the stage for such talent as Miss
Banks seems to possess Overrun as we are
by mediocrity and vulgsrity, the mere hope
of checking the retrograde movement Of the
drama by the introduction to the theatrical
profession of modes y, pure minded, sincere,
yet gifted and inte .leotual women, should
arouse sll that is chivalrous and helpful in
criticism when such aspirants as Maude
Banks come under review. There has been
nothing merericious in her methods of
cOurting public favor There has been no
false parade, no clutchiug after notoriety to
the sacrifice of all that is noble and pure IN
womanhood; but instead q modest beginning,
an earnest. honest effort to overcome antag-
Onsms by proving merit, that has so far
been productive of excellent results
Much interest Is manifested by our theatre
goers in Miss Banks appearances here, and
she will doubtlessly be warmly received.
Popular prices will prevail.

Business Announcement.

1t is with great pleasure that we
are enabled to announce to the people
Of Waco and McLennan county that
we have resumed business under the
old firm name of Levine Brothers.
1t is needless to revert to the causes
of our business misfortunes. Suffice
1t to say that In all our troubles we
have been sustained by the sympathy
and good will of the people of Waco
and McLennan county, and 1t has
been the incentive to induce US to go
on and continue in your midst, aud
make an effort to regain our position
as one of the leading firms OF the Gen.
trail City. To this end we kindly ask
your encouragement by your patron
age. AS in the past we have striven
to earn the confidence and respect Of
our patrons, so In the future we will
endeavor to hold the esteem and pat
ronage so liberally extended US.
We como before you chsstened and
enlightened by bitter experience, and
hope to profit by the lessons Of the
past, and bring the same to bear to
the advantage Of our patrons and
friends In the future.
We respectfully ask Of our old GUS
toners Q renewal of their business re-
lations with us, and promise under
all circumstances to give them Quid
pro quo.
With many thanks to the kind
friends who have assisted us with
their names, time and encouragement
we are respectfully,

ROUGH ON THE BOYS.
Two Small Fires but two Terrible
Runs.


A fire occurred last night at about
ten o'clock, causing the department q
terrible run to Thirteenth street and
Mary through intense darkness and
shocking streets. The fire was in a
sand house on the Cotton Belt rail
road, this side Of Waco creek, and was
extinguished without the aid Of the
department, but it was very late before
the Hook and Ladder and Hose cart
got back to the engine house. The
boys were busy all this morning in
cleaning the mud from the harness, and
about ten o'clock had Just finished and
were washing their hands when an
alarm came from Stephenson mattress
factory, far out on Ninth street. The
fire was still further out at 9O2 s.
Ninth corner Of Ninth and Cleveland
streets, in stable belonging to Mr.. J.
+. Chambers, of the firm Of Chambers
Bros. The Hose cart made fine run
to the corner Of 9th and Clay, and
there the horses gave out in the awful
mud holes, and the Hook and Ladder
cart came to dead stop a street be.
hind the hose cart. The boys on the
Hook and Ladder took ladders in their
hands and started on foot to the fire,
but were met by one of the company
returning with the information that
the fire was out. The stable was burned
and torn down. Little idea of the con.
dltion OF the streets in that part Of the
city can be formed. They are almost
impossible for the heavy fire apparatus
and the city part Of the suburbs is al.
most at the mercy of FIRE. The usual
number of pedestrians rushed to the
fire and whether all OF them have got
back yet, is not known. A pair Of
new rubbers was seen in an extremely
bad spot, bottom side up, and perhaps
the owner was under them. The sta
Die was two story building, and how
the fire originated is not even guessed
at. A little girl called the attention
OF Mrs. Chambers to smoke coming
from the stable. Mrs. Chambers ral
out with buckets of water and found
the lire in the second story in pile O
ear corn, but too large to extinguish

were insisted on.
Col. Cameron said talk was cheap,
but he wanted money talk. When
FIVE men put down $4,000 each the
wooden mills would subscribe that
amount. He was obliged to 60 and
left the room.
The spirit Of the meeting turned to
doubt Of the feasibility Of having too
many irons in the fire.
Mr. Solomon urged the cotton mill.
He urged the cotton mill strongly and
forcibly and his firm, he said, would
take stock in it. Tho meeting which
had begun to be demoralized before
gradually oozed away and at half past
four took a stampede, only saving itself
by the last two dozen voting an ad-
journment as they we're going cut.
