What promises TO be the greatest at
tempt in the era of realism will be seen
at tho Academy of Music next Friday
evening in the Il. elodrama of Lincoln
J. Cartor's Fast Mail" Tho play is
famous throughout tho country for the
completeness and magnitude of it's me-
chanfcal effects. Tho production is
under the personal supervision OF it's
author Lincoln j. Carter. Special
scenery is carried for tho zen complete
sets used in the play. In the second
act 4 steamb boat is shown, with the
boiler rooms and their intricate ma
chinery ana tho glowing furnaces. Tho
boat is blown up by Il tremendous eX
plosion, and tho wreck is seen going
down In mid river. The great railway
scene is another OF the Unprecedented
achievements of their performances in
the direction of realism. a freight
train OF fourteen cars is run across tho
stage with an illuminated cab0ose and
practical locomotive. The fireman
and neineer are seen at their reSpec
tive stations; looks like reality itself.
mail train comes speeding by and
catches the mail pouch. just as every
one has seen it do many times. In tho
last act Niagara Falls are shown in all
their natural beauty. ~ cataract of
real water is put on the stage, and it
boils and foams in the most natural
way. The soft moonlight adds to the
effect, and the scene needs only the adj
dition Of the suspension bridge to COM
plete the effect of reality

THE TIMES.
ROANOKE. VA, DECEMBER 81, 1892
CHRISTINA AS.

The Christmas ahich comes but once
8 year has como and gone. Roanoke
celebrated as all cities do, noisily and
quietly. with many gifts and few, with
gladness among the lowly, with JOY
among tho rich. Solcmn ceremonies
and sweet music in 4 score OF churches,
laughter and song in a thousand homes,
which is born OF unlimited egg nogg and
dies out with u headache, went to make
up tho graphic panorama Of day.
The most thorough ami systematic
Christmas work was done by that noble
and very human band of brothers, the
Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks. Sixteen hundred dollars worth
of coal, wood, flour, mea,, poultry, pc
tatocs and general provisions were dis
tributed among tho deserving poor of
Roanoke. So few is their numbers that
to eac. went most substantial re-
minder CT the brotherhood Of man. To
the little children of the Poor went
from this same order hundreds of pres
ents from a huge and most resplc ndent
tree. Verify, by their works shall they
be judged.
From Christmas to New Year is an
oven week. In that time may come the
retrospection of the year that is part,
tho provision of the year to come. We
of Roanoke and the Southwest have
much to be thankful for. For abundant
harvests, for growth in wealth and pros
perity, for salvation from plaques and
disaster we give thanks. For future
FULL Of promise, for wider experience
and greater knowledge, we give thanks.

An Extensive Failure.

MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. 26.-The old real
estate and insurance firm Of e. s. Corser
& Company failed for one million, but
the ass cts will probably cover their OBJ
legations. Speculation in wheat was
the cause. E. S. Corser, the head of the
firm, has large farm in the Red River
Valley. and raises considerable grain,
and, in connection with handling his
own product, has gone extensively Into
wheat speculation. 1t is said, upon re-
liable authority, that be has lost $3.50,
600 in wheat during the last thirty DAYS.

gains in all the large cities.
Democrats took the same view of tho situa-

that the republicans not only held their own in
