is well known Col. Cox had a |
majority vote in the conventional
when it first assembled in Coy
umbia. That majority was
increased by several votes when
the convention reassembled in
franklin Oct. |. Every delegate
in the convention vent there
with the kindliest feelings for
Gen, Whitthorne which they
still entertain; not one word
only Of praise and commentator
was heard from the supporters.
Of Col. Cox. But the action and
conduct of Gen. WIS friends and
supporters from the first has
been of such character IS to
deserve the unqualified condem
nation of all fair minded men.
Every objection was raised that
could be raked up. AL sorts Of
tactics were employed to reduce
Col. Cox's vote and failing i'll
these they locked the convention
regai dless Of Col. Cox's majority

Charming Production OF Twelfth Night
at the New Park, Philadelphia.

as thN Wv A1f hAAAADAltAAAnf
One Of the most complete and success
full Shalesperean revivals now upon the
stage is the production Of Twelfth
Night" in which Miss Marie Wainwright
assumes the role Of Viola. This charming
comedienne is appearing this week at
the new Park Theatre in Philadelphia.
There will be a performance each night
and Saturday matinee. The New
York World commented on her
initial performance Of this character as
follows:
"Marle Wainwrights personal beauty
and perfect art prevailed at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre last night. She was
there seen by large and representative
enthusiastic audience for the first time
in New York In the role Of Viola in
Twelfth Night"
"0livia's house and garden were pic
tured in exquisite tones, and tie color
that pervaded the chief scenes of the
play, both In canvas and in costumes,
fell with pleasant influence upon
the eye and made apparent, at
once, that taste and art had
combined to render the accessories
worthy the dignity and ambition Of the
achievement. Miss wainwright is hand.
some woman. She rejolces in those physi-
cal attributes which cause her sex to be
adored. She is young, has a good figure
a sweet voice and soulful eye. In every
way she is admirably equipped for the
charming task that falls to Viola's part
in Twelfth Night" She looms really
irresistible In the boys garb which Viols
assumes when she enters the service of
Duke Orsini, and all through the Incl
dents of the comedy, from the first visit
to Olivia to the laughably ridiculous rol,
that is forced upon her in the duel scene
bears herself with womanly appreciation
Of the delicacy Of her duty and thor
oughly artistic estimate of the dramatii
value Of every point with which she is
dealing.
"There's a strong "Reminiscences Of tn
Viola Of Adelaide Nelson In some Of hei
scenes, notably in the garden inciden
and in the masquerading rollicksome
ness OF the duel scene-she still seem
to feel that it is all fun while still un
able to lay aside certain trembling fes
which adds to the righteousness Of tn
meeting-but there is point Of differ
ence between the dead artist and he
living successor.
Calls were given at the end Of ever
act and there were several magnihcen
floral tributes. She undoubtedly wo
the audience TO her Viola and made a
unmistakable conquest Of everybody.

Dr. LOUIS, Feb 6--The Pacific Express
company has been robbed again, and this
time s35, 900 and a trusted clerk are gone
Last Saturday the City National bank of
Dallas, Tex, consigned $4,000 TO tho Com

company at Dallas, who issued a receipt for
fhe packages said 70 contain $50, 600, put the
@s5, 900 in his pocket, and made out a way
Aill for the $4,000 in gold. Two hours later
Mr. Walton gathered all his portable effects
and started for the Indian territory.
The $4,000 in gold reached the CONNER
cial bank ON Monday, and after waiting two
days for the $50 GOO 20 turn up, the bank
made complaint to L. A. Fuller, superinteu-
dent Of the express company. Mr.. Fuller
began an investigation, and the first dscov-
ery he made was that Mr.. Walton had left
Dallas hurriedly Sunday morning. Last
night the following telegram was received
from the company's agent at Dallas

It has been remarked that sailing vessels do
not lay down their course upon the arc Of a
great circle, as they would it distance were
the only matter TO be considered. The pre-
vailing winds, the currents in she ocean and
many other aids or hindrances to navigation
have TO be taken into account.
1t IS Of interest 70 find that migratory birds
are equally sensible Of the advantages Of diff
ferent routes. This is particularly noticeable
In their crossing Of mountain ranges. A
Russian traveller in central Asia writes Of
this habit Of the wild fowl:
"The observations on the spring flight at
Lob-nor afforded new proof that birds Of
passage do not take the shortest meridional
course, but prefer a more favorable, though
more circuitous route.
San the Aocl1s, without exception, which
appeared at Lob-nor came from west-south-

Consumption.

Interesting statistics gathered BY a proni-
nent English physician indicate that consump-
ton is very greatly promoted by n damp soil,
and its presence has been abated. even to the
extent of so per cent while suitable drainage
has been introduced. Researches Of other
physicians, including the well known Dr.
Bowditch, q Massachusetts,, confirm this con-
clusion and determine that the amount Of
moisture in the soil Is fair criterion OF the
proportion Of consumption among the resi-
dents. Local causes are becoming more and
more disregarded. aud the infectious nature
OF consumption is receiving iiPereased atten-
ton from physicians. --Good Housekeeping.
