ATTRACTIONS FOR TIE WEEK.
"a Dark Secret" and "Zozo the II G''
Queen" to Be Given.

"a Dark Secret" will be presented at
The Theatre the first three nights OF this
week. with a matinee on "Wednesday: This
is one of the best, it not the best, of wat
are vulgary termed tank dramas" Its
great feature is the Henley regatta scene,
in which Wallace Rose. the famous oars
man. rows a winning race. The tank en-
ployed is an immense affair that almost
completely covers the stage. A Dark
Secret" was an unqualified success when
il was here before, and most probably will
again attract large audiences.
"Zozo the Magic Queen" spectacular
burlesque of which audiences seem never
TO tire, will be seen at the Theatre for
three nights and mat" beginning on
Thursday. 1t is said that the performance
will be on a scale of elegance similar to
that which marked is initial presentation
here. and large company Of clever men
and pretty women, handsomely costumed
and surrounded by pretty scenery. are
promised By the management.

But on the surprise. the amazenent, the
horror that was depicted on their fair fea-
lures. They stared blapkly at me for what
seemed centuries. and then in chorus
they all cried out, "What does this

The hostess flourished my card at me,
and in burst of spasInodic embarrass-
ment seized it. Here is the way the PASTE

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1893-02-26

Although / admire ladies above all
things, they inspire me with degree of
reverence and embarrassment which
always makes me wonder, when in their
presence, whether dm an organ-grinders
monkey OF country clod-hopper. The
sweet dame (my better half who takes
ninety-nine one-huudredths of nv salary
every Saturday night asserts that this per-
turbation is lust assumed to throw her off
the track. and maybe It's. Experience has
taught me to agree with her in all she says.
But now / am going to tell the joke on
myself. Two or three nights ago l
had TO pay brief visit TO one Of
the noble women who are engaged
IN working for the Memorial Bazaar. |
made up my mind beforehand that |
wouldn't 60 into her parlOr, because re-
nembered that every char IN the room
had "tidyn on II. and / never know
whether you are expected TO SIT on these
artistic ornaments or not, so decided TO
solve the difficulties OF the situation by
sending in my card and awaiting her in
the hall. When ! reached the house saw
from the street that the parlOr was full OF
company, and this made he more deter
mined than ever not to enter that
room. | assembled the steps, gave ny
card or what 1 thought was my
card, to the servant and told her / would
await the lady in the hall. From my posi-
ton | could hear several ladies chatting
away for dear life. and then. all OF sud-
den. noticed hush in the conversation.
Then knew that the woman had handed
the hostess nv card. Everything re-
NAMED quiet tor several minutes, and
then the murmurings of whispered, ex-
cited consultation reached my ears. This
lasted some time and became more and
more animated. Suddenly the darkey
bobbed up in the hall and remarked to
me, "She say come in de parlor."

The first thing about a woman that
strikes mans attention is her foot, or
more strictly speaking. her two feet, if she
is possessed of q pair of these useful ap-
pendages. You hear the boys saying that
when they get married they want woman
who can cook and sew and all that. but
this is popAcock. Foremost of all the re-
qulsites is small foot. Ii is sad but
certain fact that q dainty boot, skilfully
managed, yet cOquottishly timld, can do
as much towards winning masculine
hearts as all the smiles and executing"
in Christendom. There is world of elo-
quence. an ocean of character, and the
soul of modesty IN some of these Lilipu-
tan pedal extremities. IL some poet
hasn't written sonnet to his sweet
hearts foot, then all / have TO say
is that the race of bards is decided
~ lacking in sentiment. Even 1 could
be flowery on such a topic, and while
could not chain my ideas with lyric ven SO
i am sure | could write volumes of prose
about this delicate subject if l had the
time. But the great question is, what
constitutes a small foot 2" and so pro-
pose to give my ideas on the subject. You
all know that in this century the tendency
is to squeeze tue precious little article into
the smallest possible space. 1t wasn't so
in olden times, and the custom is anything
but classic. When Cesar was at the height
of his glory don't suppose O Chicago girl
on the streets of Rome would have attract
ed the least comment as far as her feet
were concerned.

AN EXPERIMENT

Hoops have already been seen in our
city streets, tried by certain ladies merely
az an experiment. The verdict arrived o.
seems to boz that, however our mothers
and grandmothers managed to navigate ia
these contriyances, present conditions
would render them most lntolerable and
offensive nuisance. The eleyated-rallroad

GRENADA, MISS, March, /.
The colored peoples Literary Club
met on last Monday night at the A. NJ.
E. Church. Quite a large assemblage
Of the best colored people in the city
was present on this occasion. The
programme was one Of unusual interest
and was very attractively and artisti'
cally rendered. A recitation by little
Miss Floyd was credit to the society,
and showed that the little girl had re-
ceived some careful training in elocu-
tion. In conclusion Of the programme
came mock trial Of assault and battery
with T. B. Cobb as Magistrate, Harry
u Parchman, attorney for the State,
add James Bostick attorney for the
d4ense, which proceedings We're very
amusing, especially in examining the
witnesses. The defendant was acquit-
ted, and was heartily congratulated
by his friends. The next proceeding
was reading reports on criticisms, by
the chairman of that committee, Mr.. J.
II. Phillips, which was carefully pre-
pared, and was credit to that COM
mittee.
All seemed TO be greatly Interested,
an6the next meeting will be on Mon
day night, with an interesting pro-
gramme. All are invited to attend.
The president and officers will provide
good order, and seats for all. Nv

Hurrah For George and Gresham.

'U1 VOOSk0 ouU OTcoAs0"s
The Memphis Commercial, of Thurs
day, under the head of telegraphic
news from Washington, among other
items Of news, contained the following:
To-day Secretary Gresham gave ev-
idence Of the fact that he means to
turn the rascals out without delay. 1t
came about in this way: Senator
George, of Mississippi, went to the
State department to introduce Hon.
George billiard, OF Macon, who is an
applicant for consul-general to Ecua-
dor, now held by William Sorsby. Of
Mississippi. When Senator George
had finished, Secretary Gresham said:
'Why, we will just turn that rascal out
right now"
Senator George said that Mr.. billiard
had not filed bis formal application,
and Secretary Gresham replied:
''Well, let him file it right away"
The appointment will probably be
made tomorrow.
The prediction of several weeks ago,
in these dispatches, that sorsby would
be discharged by cablegram, will come
true."
