ADJUSTMENTS.

Thomas w. Keene Opens Here Tonight.
The place of Thomas w. Keene is pretty well
fixed in the public mind. He has his friends
and he has his detractors. But all allow that
he is great actor. One can not pass lightly
over the ability of Mr.. Keene, for he has ability
of an exalted order. His growing melowness,
his studious character, his disposition TO round
the rough places of former interpretations, show
how thoroughly the man appreciates the POSI-
ton he occupies on this side of the water; for
with Mr. Booth in retirement, with Lawrence
Barrett dead, MIR. Keene is Americas represent
alive tragedIan. And the long, weary years of
patient plodding, Of struggle even, what a les
son to the young actor facing the plaudits, the
frowns of the public.
Mr.. Keene will begin his engagement tonight,
opening with "Louis XII" There are few things
on the contemporary stage more perfect than
Mr. Keene's deliueation of Louis XII. Proba-
bly, there Is nothing to approach il, unless Irv-
ing's conception of the same character be ex-
cepted. The craft, the cruelty, the hypocrisy,
the fear of death, and the superstition of it all
are alike curious and terrible in their vivid
ness and force. The death scene as presented
by Mr.. Keene is said to be triumph of artistic
work and realism.
During the balance of the week the following
repertoire will be presented: Thursday, erich
elieu;" Friday, "Othello;" Saturday, "Richard

Loafer.
A loafing masher standing on a street corner

women who passed, got his desserts in a rather
summary way. and his experience will teach
him to take different methods in the future to
obtain the smiles of the fair sex
Mr.. julius C. Smith, brother of Mr. Victor
Hugo Smith, thesreal estate dealer, was out rid
ing with his two sisters, Mrs. William Carkeek
and Miss Emma Smith. They passed a man on
the sidewalk who smacked his lips in imitation
of kissing at one of the women. half-hour
afterwards they met him again and he repeated
his offense. This time Mr.. Smith saw him and
he jumped out and ran up to where the tough
was standing and asked him what he meant.
The rowdy, who was a big, burly fellow, an
swered Mr.. Smith insultingly and made pass
at him at the same moment. Mr.. Smith lodged
the blow and struck out for the fellow, who
had turned and run. He caught him near the
Occidental hotel, and, bringing around his left
arm, he struck the fellow a singing blow under
the ear. The man was sent reeling on his face
and his head struck asstone, cutting cash in
the skin. The fellow got up and sneaked away,
thoroughly cowed.
1t was a wholesome Lesson to him and one
which many others of his ilk in the city would
do well to heed before it is too late.

wandering waif of sound; and then
straghtway
nameless desolation filed the day.
The great green earth, that had been fair and
sweet,
Seemed but tomb: the life thought repleto
WITTY joy grew lonely for a vanished May;
forgotten sorrows resurrected lay
Like CHASTITY skeletons about my feet
Above me stretched the silent, suffering sky,
Dumb with vast anguish for departed suns,
That brutal time to nothingness had hurled.
The daylight was as sad smiles that lie
Upon the wistful mouths of unkissed nuns,
And / stood prisoned in an awful world.
