SELDOM has greater travesty of JUS.
tice got into the courts than that now
being enacted in Mississippi in the tria
of Sullivan the slugger. Had the au
thorities of the State done their duty
braved the fury of the mob and stopped
the fight, thereby upholding the dignity
of the law and preventing brutal exhi
bition OF mere force, the people would
have applauded them to the echo. But
when it comes to bounding the principals
to the breach of the laws, and few
others, after the mischief is done, there
will be no laurels won by any such tame
means. 1t is farce of the broadeet sort.

THE way of the Trusts is still onward.
The latest development is a combination
OF all the powder works in this State
with a grand syndicate which includes
the factories OF the Eastern States and
Europe. There are over one hundred com.
panies in this combine" and it is said
to be the most gigantic yet formed.
Prices on all kinds of explosives will, OF
course, advance, and the mining indus
tries of this coast will be the first to feel
the pressure Of this new combination.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Miss Lillian Lewis Rendition of
Two PIayS--Will Return
S.nHaU NiUht

MISS Lillian Lewis neiIlliOii VI
Two Plays--WiH Return
Sunday Night.
To well-attended matinee yester-
day afternoon Miss Lewis appeared a.
Mercy Merrick in Wilkie Collins
dralnatised novel, The New Magdalen.
The full force of this character was an
excellent vehicle for Miss Lewis to
show her dramatic powers, and she
handled it easily and delighted her
auditors. Miss Selden as Grace was
also we'll up in her role, and appeared
to much better advantage than on
the first night. The quarrel scene
was very well acted by both ladies.
AS Julian Grey Mr.. Whitecar had the
lines of the novelist to aid him
greatly. He could study his part more
closely and be greatly improved,
both in expression and graceful
maneuvres or. the stage. Mary Law
man, as Lady Janet" appeared in
very careless makeup, which de-
tracted from the impression she
sought to create. Last night large
audience attended the performance OF
"Dona SOL" the beautiful Spanish
fiction from the pen of Victor Hugo.
1t is capable Of tremendous dramatic
force in the hands of the most en-
inent artists and the "Dona Sol" of
Miss Lewis fully proved that she
knew and appreciated this fact. Her
work was very conscientious and
to this critic she never APP
peared to better advantage. She
early drew forth the interest Of her
audience and warmed them up to
much applause. AS "Hernani," the
bandit, Mr.. Whitecar played very
polished part, full of quiet strength
of expression and graceful poi SO
throughout. This role eminently
suits him, and it is we'll to behold
his Interpretation of the outlaw
lover, who really Is the courtly John,
of Aragon, grandee of Spain. There
is no rush, rant, or useless saving
of the air, but every action and word
shows the actor off we'll.
The company left to-day for Austin,
to fill an engagement, and have de-
cided TO play a return date at the
Grand opera house Sunday night,
giving 81 Article Az one of Miss
Lewis, best plays. Many admirers
of Miss Lewis who were disap-
pointed at not finding this in
her repertory for this engage
ment will be delighted to learn
that she will return and render this
splendid play.
In the second act Manager Mutually
will present his handsome 1-2 carat
diamond stud to Miss Lewis, she hav-
ing become possessed of an uncontroI-
able desire to own it. 1t is beautiful
white stone and is valued by Mr..
Mullaly at $500. Miss Lewis grace
fully offered to return and play for
Mr.. Mullaly's benefit Oh Sunday
night, giving him the gross receipts,
in exchange for this present, and as
he remarks, "When woman wills,
she Will.U

Mrs. Mackey Sues a Newspaper.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-The action for
libel, brought by Mrs. John n. Mack
ey, against the Manchester Ex-
aminer came up for a hearing
in the court of Queens bench
to-day. The libel complained
of the alleged statements that the
plaintiff was a poor widow with two
children and that she was employed
as a washer-woman by the Nevada
miners, when Mr.. Mackey was first
attracted toward her and fell in love
with and married her. The plaintiff
contends that the words of the article
suggested that she was not lady, by
birth or education, and that she
was not accustomed to associating
with persons of good position. The
defendants admit the first inuendo,
but deny the second. The defendants
had paid &10 into the court. The
question before the court today was
whether the payment applied to the
whole libel, or to the inuendo ad-
mitted. Court ruled that it applied
only to that part of the libel admitted.
