ADJUSTMENTS.

Bronson Towards Aristocracy" We'll
Received at the Theatre.
The aristocracy portrayed in Bronson
Howard's play of that name, presented
at the theatre last night, is of the vilest
and most despicable type. The high
minded and highbred nobility of old
England have no place in the play. Nor
are the American aristocratic characters
of much better class. This is the chief
defect in the purpose OF Towards latest
effort. 1t has no deep or complicated
plot, but is nevertheless intensely inter-
esting and, in places, highly dramatic.
Generous applause was accorded it in
every act.
The company comprises several well
known and accomplished artists and it
is all good. They are evidently new to
the play, and we understand that this is
only their second performance. The
prompter was in requisition last night,
and the failure of Mr.. Barrymore and
Miss White to perfectly know their lines
somewhat marred enjoyment in two or
three scenes.
Mr.. Barrymore's Jefferson Stockton
was fine performance, q good repre-
sentation of the 'sself- made'' millionaire
railway king with western manners and
true American sense of honor. Mr.. Faver-
sham made finished william prince, cool.
subtle and utterly interruptions, with no
redeeming qualities but politeness and
bravery. Mr.. Neil Warner had but
small part in the American snob aristo-
GRAFT, but he filled it admirably. Mr..
Pigott ably represented a familiar type of
English marines. Mr.. Bonds French
duke was very we'll done, but his French
accent needs improvement, which will
come with practice.
Miss Walsh as Diana Stockton was the
most striking among the feminine char
acters and filed her part with force and
ability. Mics Hampton made very
sweet and genuine Virginia, and Miss
White charming and naive American
girl of Tenny Lawrence. All the rest
were acceptable and the stage settings
were superb. The scenery is new and
appropriate and the dresses magnificent.
There was a good house and there
should be q better one tonight, for the
fame of the play will be spread abroad
and the performers will be line perfect.
The company will 60 to Garfield today
and present sAristocracy' this event ng
for the last time in this city.

AN OFFER FOB BONDS.
Proposition Made by n. w. Harris &
Company.
The Council Toyed with 1t and Adjourned
Without Action, and the Offer
Was withdrawn.

N. w. Harris & Co. filed with the coun-
Gil last evening an offer to take the issue
of $500, 600 city bonds on the following
terms:
To buy outright and pay for S25, 200 of
said bonds upon delivery, and to take
within fifteen days 500, 900 more, paying
par fat. less commission of So per
cent, and in consideration OF the agree
ment aforesaid for the purchase of S75, OOO
OF the tondS, the company to have the
exclusive option from the city on the re-
naming $40, 0G0 OF said issue, to be good
for thirty days next succeeding the date
of delivery and payment for the $50, 600
of bonds bought outright; should the
firm take S55, 1000 of the bonds under
the option on or before the expiration OF
the thirty days, then the option on the
remaining $40, 900 TO be good f0r q second
period of thirty days; and should S55,OOU
of the bonds be taken on or before the
expiration of the second period, then the
option on the remaining S115, 900 shall be
continued for thirty days. Should the
bidders take sos, 600 of the bonds within
the third period of thirty days, the option
be continued again for thirty days on the
remaining $50, 900 of said bonds, the city
not to offer the bonds during the contin-
tinuance of the option, and the buy
ers to have the right to pay over
the bonds as rapidly as they desire, re-
gardless of the amounts and periods
above specified. Further, that each in
stallment of the bonds shall be delivered
to and paid for at some bank in New Z ork
city or Chicago at the option of the buyer,
the city to receive par fiat, less commits
sion of So per cent Should the city be
compelled to cut down this issue owing to
the reduction in the assessed valuation OF
the city for the year 1893, so as TO bring
the total indebtedness of the city, includ-
ing the issue of bonds within the 4 per
cent. Congressional limits. this PROPOSE
ton is intended to cover any less amount
than the above stated $500, GOO, and in
such case this proposition will cover same
on pro rata basis
Considering the present status of fnan-
cial affairs, and the city's urgent need of
money, this proposition was generally
considered a fair one, and the gentleman
who made it supposed that the matter
would receive prompt consideration. 1t
was a case of misplaced confidence on his
part, however, as after the proposition
was read it was simply laid over and all
efforts of Councilmen Moran, Lawson and
others to bring itup failed. Half dozen
motions to take it up were defeated, and
after toying with the matter in the usual
school boy fashion the council adjourned.
The representatives of Harris d Co.,
who had watched the proceedings with
manifest surprise, went to President
Loofbourow Immediately after the adj
iournment and withdrew the bid.

Romely Women.

Some of the most fascinating women in
the worlds history, as well as men, have
been exceptionally ugly, says the An,eri-
can Register. To encourage the plain sis
terhood a kind-hearted Frenchman re-
calls the fact that the Duchess of Bur-
gundy, who divided with Nine. de Main
tenon the old age of Louis Quatorze, had
frightful neck aud decayed teeth;
Marguerite de Valois had heavy cheeks
like monkey, two prominent eyes and
thick, hanging under lip; the Duchess
de Berri, mother of the Comte de Cham
bord, who drove the Britons wild, had e
trumpet-shaped nose and the complexion
ofa bilious blonde, her eyes squinted and
while one was blue the other was gray.
sThe most successful captivators OF
modern Paris, he adds. shave been the
Princess Lisle Troubetskof, the Princess
Metternich and Theresa-all very
homeIy.' The French gentleman might
have added: "And very bad.' If one
must be very wicked to counteract the
disadvantages of plain looks the gentle
man IS lesson is not so encouraging as 1t
might at first glance seem.

The Hard.Hearsed Apple Woman.

1t is rather late to recall anecdotes
about the war, unless relating to prom
inent persons, but the following has the
merit of being true, if nothing else. A
train load of New England troops were
Washington, and the usual crowd of
sight-seers was on hand. Standing with
the many other onlookers was little
Jennie, aged six. Presently the SOL
diers, assisted by the crowd. began to
sing patriotic songs, among them one
with the refrain: "Give three rousinp
cheers for the soldier boys.'
When Jennie returned home she was
exceedingly grave.
Everybody cried out to give three rocking
chairs for the soldier boys, and there sat
an apple woman and wouldn't give them
her one rocking chairIi'

The Size of Hell.

The size of and distance to hell is one Of
the problems over which G. A. Taylor,
D. D., has been puzzling his brains for
many years. As result of all this study
Mr.. Taylor has come to the conclusion
that hell, hades, gehenna, the inferno, or
sheol, is a vast lake of fire and birthstone,
exactly fifty-two miles beneath the
earth S surface. He has also figured that
it is larger than has been generally sup
posed, his deductions proving that it is
544 900. 600 cubic miles in extent. Mr..
Taylor is financial agent for the Florida
African Methodist Episcopal conference.

The Poison of the Cobra.

The bite of the terrible cobra of India
Is looked upon as meaning certain death.
It is not surprising that experiments to
determine the nature of this awful
poison should attract wide attention
when they are made i'll a scientific man.
ner emitting their results to be accepted
with confidence. Such experiments have
recently been conducted by Mr.. A. 4.
Kanthack The venom was obtained
by pressing the leads of living cobras,
by which nerve trying operation the
deadly fluid was squeezed out of the
fangs.
The fluid dries very quicLIyand leaves
a yellow substance resembling gum
arabic or the dried albumen of egg, which
is easily pulverized. The activity of the
poison is destroyed by prolonged boiling,
a concentrated solution of it withstand
ing the effects of boiling for an hour or
two before entirely losing its poisonous
action. A weak solution could be rem
dered innocuous b. being boiled from 20
minutes to half an hour.
But of course this can give no comfort
to any victim of a cobra bite, since the
venom, once INJECTED INTO ms blood,
could by no possibility be subjected 70
such process of boiling.
Ammonia and chlorine water also
proved capable of destroying the poison
if applied to it for Il considerable time
in strong solutions, and carbolic acid con-
siderably delayed its poisonous action.
Some hope had been raised that doses
of strychnia might prove a means of
cure, but the experiments showed that
there was no foundation for this hope.
So far, then, a cure for the bite of the
cobra remains TO be discovered
