Worth Seeing.

"Bluebeard Jr., or Fatima and the
Fairy" will have its first presentation in
this city at the Grand Opera house on
Monday evening next. The piece is one
of the famous annual musical eXtrava-
ganzas produced at the Chicago Opera
house. The scenery, which is described
as unusually grand, was painted by
Messrs. Albert, VOughtlin 81 Hoyt, Of
Chicago, Arthur Chasemore of London;
the costumes were made by Dwyer, of
New York. The music, which is tuneful
and catchy, was arranged and com
posed by Fred. j. Custis, Richard M.
Maddern and John Brahan. Clay M.
Green, the librettist, has preserved in all
essential points the old fairy tale of Blue
beard and his wives, and has succeeded
in presenting a more interesting series OF
grotesque characteTizatiOns than has been
seen in other representations OF this noto-
rious oriental prince. The transfOrma-
ton scene in the last act is described as
one of the most beautiful pieces OF stage
work ever witnessed in this country. 1t
is divided into five tableaus, representing
Darkness, Fable, Progress, Music and
Poetry, and Light and Beauty. This
scene alone cost $4,000. The piece will
be produced here with all the original
scenery and stage effects.

TO WED A FRENCH NOBLEMAN.

Mrs. Gertie Dietz, of Sharon Divorce
Case Notriety, IN New Role.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, October %
News comes from Paris of the engage
ment to q French nobleman of Mrs.
Gertie DietZ, who played conspicu-
Gus role in the notorious Sharon
divorce suit. Gertie about ten years
ago was a handsome school teacher
She was engaged to marry young
fellow named Morris Brandt, but one
day as she was coming out of the
Occidental Hotel she met the gallant
old Senator Sharon, arrayed in full
MASKING costume. 1t was case of
King Cophetua and the maid. 1t
was not long before the engagement
between Gertle and Morris Brandt
was broken. The Dietz romance
lasted for two years, until there was
a sensational suit for divorce brought
by Sarah Althea. 1t involved GER
tain marriage con tract. Now col
lection might be made of such papers
as this, If anybody cared, and Gertie
Dietz, it seems, was o collector. She
did not appear as witness, but she
suddenly bloomed out in fine ralment
anu 0hOh WOhU w lSuhoPOs OAO
up in Paris as Mrs. Drayton, the rich
widow from California, with q little
child whose paternity was doubtful.
She hired a fine house on the Ave.
del Opera. She became great favor
ite In the American colony as well as
among Frenchmen, for she still pre-
served the golden beauty that en-
shared Sharon. Life went very well
then, and the grand stand at Long
champs was q flower garden in which
the "lovely Drayton" was a rose.
1t was during the exhibition year of
,S9 that a San Francisco lady hap
pened to be in Paris, and was intro
duced to Mrs. Drayton, the "rich
widow from California" Now this
lady has received letter written on
crested paper, announcing wedding
to occur, and that Doucet and La
Terrier are making the trousseau.
The groom is q French Count, the
brother of the Marquis du Bourges.

Hawkes., of Birmingham, England,
all well-known glass manufacturers,
are here to take preliminary steps to

This has been brought about by the
formation of the Glass trust. The
furniture manufacturers here. rather
than pay tribute to the trust, invited
these capitalists to cooperate with
local capital and begin manufacture
ing. They will manufacture all kinds
of glass, as we'll as beveling and sill

The Presidents Height.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. 29.-The
height of the President has been fur
nished officially at the White House.
1t seems that after Gen. Harrison
passed through Kansas City a dis
pute arose as to his stature. The
controversy became 80 warm that a
wager of considerable proportions
was laid. The question was referred
to the White House, but, Of course,
no mention was made Of the money
at stake. The information furnished
is that the President measures feet
s 1-2 inches, This will surprise many
people, who think they are good at
guessing in five who has seen the
President at little distance would
place his height at more than 5 feet
Z inches. Gen. Harrison's appearance
is strikingly deceptive. Senator Vest
once described him as the largest
man sitting down and the smallest
man standing up that he ever saw.
The fact is that the President Is q
much larger man than he has been
taken for.

CHAMBERS ISLANDERS.
Stockmen Denounce the Report of
Chambers i'm Texas Cattle.

Chambers in Texas Cattle.
Last night quite number of stock
men and parties interested in the
horse market, met at the Southern
hotel parlors, to discuss and, If nee
cessary, take some effective measure
in regard to reports circulated by the
Atlanta Constitution and other
papers that Texas is full of glandered
horses.
Mr.. C. o. Mcclure was elected
chairman of the meeting and Thos.
Gilroy and f. l.. Robinson, secretar-
les.
Several of stockmen gave their
opinions on the matter to the effect
that the had never known of q single
case of CHAMBERS in the horses of this
state. A telegram was read from
Governor Stone of Mississippi, stat
that there was considerable excite
ment in his state concerning the re-
port OF CHAMBERS among Texas horses.
A committee of four. consisting of
Messrs Turner, Campbell, Mcclure
and Smith, was appointed, and made
the following report:
"Your committee beg to report that
the reports now being circulated that
KldDuoTs prevails III ltAds are III Jul
opinion false in every particular. We
believe that the reports should be
fully met by calling upon the citizens
of the state and their officials to cor
rect these reports and give them the
denial that they merit. We suggest
that a committee of five be now APP
pointed to draft suitable resolutions
as basis of action. That said COM
mittee report to you on tomorrow
evening at 1880 o'clock in the court
house."
at the instance of Judge Bivens,-
of Pearsall, this report was amended
to read that committee of five be-
appointed to interview number of
people who are not interested in the
horse trade, and that the report be
published in the newspapers. This
was adopted, and the following COM
mittee was appointed: w. l.. Smith,
George Saunders, Thomas Gilroy,
John Campbell, d. J. Woodward and
G. o. Mcclure.
The meeting then adjourned until
7:30 p. m. today, when they will meet
At the courthouse to pass upon the re-
port of the committee.

A PRIESTS IRE.
1t is Reused by the Sight OF Two
Low-Necked Dresses.


Low-Necked Dresses.
NEW YORK, October 2S.-The par
ishoners of st. Patrick's church,
Elizabethport, of which the Reverend
Father Gessner, is rector, are greatly
excited over the latter's action in
peremptorily ordering two young Ia
dies belonging to his church to leave
a ball room because they appeared in
decollete toilets. The girls are Misses
Julia Reilly and Virginia May
Archer. They attend Father Cess.
ner's church, and were invited
to the Friday evening weekly
social at the Young Mems Catho-
lie Lyceum, which is composed of
members of st. Patrick's. Games
and dancing, except round dances, to
which Father Gessner is opposed, are
INDUCED in at these socials. The
priest is regular attendant at the
Lyceum socials. He has also started
a crusade against girls who bang
their hair and wear Nellie Bly, hats.
He encourages the innocent pastimes
of the young people, but Is a great
stickler in regard to forms and pro-
priety. For instance. he believes
that young women should be accom-
panied by their parents, or be chap
eroned, when they attend social
affairs, and he has tried to discourage
the practice of young men accom-
panying the girls home after the
dance unless the couple were
engaged. He is also opposed
to fashy display in dress in both
men and women, and has frequently
inveighed from the pulpit against ex.
travagance in dress. The Misses Reil-
ly and Archer created q genuine SEN
satiOn, therefore, when they made
their appearance at the Lyceum Fri
day night in w-necked dresses, cut
" shape both front and back. They
exposed a generous portion of white
skin, and Father Gessner's adherents
say, more than was proper, while the
friends and admirers of the girls
claim that their corsage bouquets
served as a shield against vulgar
eyes. Be this as it may, as soon as
Father Gessner saw Miss Reilly on
the floor he walked over to her and
said in loud voice pointing to the
door:
YOU'D better 60 home and dress
yourself. This is no place for you"
Then, noticing Misc Archer in the
crowd, he turned to her and added:
"You, too, may GO"
Both girls hurried from the hall
without replying to the priest, and
went home, crestfallen and chagrined
They declined to discuss the matter
afterward, but their friends did, and
the whole town is talking over the
affair. Father Gessner positively de-
clined to talk for publication. He is
a small gray haired man of so and
has been at the head of st. Patrick's
Parish for twenty years. He is great.
ly respected and it is mainly owing
to his efforts that $3.50, 900 were raised
to build a new church and home for
the sisters of charity.

What She Thought.

A popular young bar man named Fred
was recently talking to lady on HouS-
ton street, when her little girl remarked:
"Oh, Mr.. Fred, l know what you use to
make your mustache grow" Indeed"
said Fred, "and pray what is it," why
answered the prattler, 'you kiss the
young ladies' OF course mamma said:
SOh, you shouldn't" as Fred's face turn
ed to a beautiful crimson. If the little
girl told the truth, / can only think that
Fred does not get enough kisses or the
remedy is Intellectual, for his mustache is
almost invisible, but it is certainly
pleasant one to try.

Some Remarkable Gunners.

WASHINGTON, October 29.-Dia-
grams of the first target practice on
the new cruiser Philadelphia have
just reached the navy department.
The practice was at GARDENERS bay,
October 4, with 6-inch, inch and
1-inch rapid fire guns, and the results
were remarkable. AT one range OF
1000 yards sixty of the sixty-two
shots were lodged in an exact vertical
line extending twenty feet above the
water line, which means that every
one of them would have hit an ordi-
nary vessel invariably in the same
place. AS the ship and guns were
new, this first trial is regarded as a
satisfactory demonstration of the
quality of our ordinance and ability
of our gunners.
