NEW York, Jan. 2l.-AS a people, we
are the most patient and long-suifcriag in
the world. As people, we patronize the
theatre more than any other nation in the
world; and yet, although we consider our
selves civilized we endure more miserable
acting, more miserable actors, and worse
stage settings than any people in the
world. We pay our money, and sit down.
and are insulted. And | will tell YOU
how:
A LACK OF GOOD ACTING.
We start out to see a so called society
play; the men come on. looking like the
waters in French restaurant, wearing
their clothes like dummies, and walking as
Il they were used to the sawdust rather
than the drawing-room. The women may
wear their clothes better, but the average
actress Is entirely lacking iii what may be
called distinction, and which is an art in
itself. Sometimes she swRggcrs, sometimes
she struts, and again she walks like pea
DOCK, proud Of its plumage, but horribly
distressed about its feet. When some
thing very tragic is to the fore, she may
rise equal to the occasion; but when il is 4
question of doing nothing or behaving as
any well-bred woman might, she acts like
an automaton. | know nothing whatever
about schools of acting, but if there is alv
school that will teach the average woman
of the stage to look, move aud have her
being on the stage as a lady would, it will
be great boon to the public at large to let
it be known. We are overload lust now
of talking about realism, and Vet. how
many actresses can quietly brew Il cup of
tea on the stage as woman does Iii her
own home? How many of them can
walk across the stage with any grace
And how many Of them can do sucl
simple thing as q bow in a way that does
not seem studied and stilted? il Is inst
possible these things may seem small to
you, but as long as we are continually told
that the theatre is sort Of education to
us, it is right and proper that we should
have the best Of everything.

vehicle was run into and capsized by q team be-
Ing driven by MIR. Reynolds. The gentlemen

Bennett struck his adversary with the large end

place. Mr.. Bennett was assessed $40 and costs.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and

Magic AT the Theatre.

Zanzic, who Is new 20 US. gave a performance
Of magic and sleight-of-hand at the Theatre last
night before a very small audience. he Is a
Gexterous and clever man, and bis various tricks
are done very clearly and neatly, and IN his
methods he much resembles Hermann. Very
few OF his feats and iliusions, however. are novel,
ami some Of them have been exhibited by al
most every magician who has visited Richmond
in the past ten years.
During the progress Of the familiar trick
(reminiscent OF Anderson and other magicians)
in which a woman is poised by the side OF an
upright post, apparently without any "vistole
means OF support" an accident happened 70
the wizards machinery, and had he not caught
the girl quickly she might have given a proof OF
the power OF gravitation by failing to the floor.
ZanZic, however. quickly fixed the machine and
finished the exhibition with the usual "Coium-
bia tableau.
Zanzic was assisted by a luggler, win executed
several very amusing tricks.
The performance will be repeated tonight.

CUTICURA BABY.

This beautiful baby boy, the son OF
George B. and Janetta Harris, Webster,
Ind, is ono of thousands completely
cured by the CUTICURA REMEDIES
of n torturlng and distiguring skin
disease after many doctors and remedies
had wholly failed. The marvellous
cures daily performed by these great
remedies have astonished all familiar
with them. None but mothers realize
how these little ones suffer when their
tender skins are literally on fire with
itching and burning eczemas and other
itching, scaly, blotchy, and pimply skin
and scalp diseases. To know that a sim
gle application of the CUTlCURA
REMEDIES will afford instant relief,
permit rest and sleep, and point to a per-
manent and economical because most
speedy cure and not to use them is to
fail in your duty. Parents. think OF the
mental and physical suffering to be en-
dured in years to come from neglected
skin, scalp, and blood diseases. Cures
made in infancy and childhood are al
most invariably permanent.

from n point TO another in this State. A
message for Winston was fled at Elizabeth
City by Il. T. Albca. and an extra charge
was made on the ground that the message

To-day Judge Browne fled a decision in

OF peculiar interest and value. He holds
that even If the circuit be broken at Rich

passage OF the message would still be con-
tinuous. Relaying a message is simply
transferring IL from one wire to another.
Just as cars are transferred from one track

opening of his remarks he stated that he
was not an ordained evangelist. This was
acut at those who q ddeclined to have MIR.

damned. MIR. Schoolfeld's congregation
was small and this made him say some
very plain things, one being that he would
have had o much larger congregation in
