Texas TO Be Honored.

For the first time since the war a
cabinet officer is TO be selected from
the Lone Star State. This time the
appointment is from the chief Magis-
trate of the entire nation. Hon. d.
d. Culberson, more familiarly known
as "0ld Dave" is generally conceded
TO be The man TO whom Mr.. Cleveland
will, If he has not already done 80, Of
fer the portfolio Of Attorney General.
So strong is the belief among news
paper men that he will be appointed
that they look ON IL as concluded
fact. The Star in discussing the mat
ter says this regarding Mr.. Culberson:
"Ibe chances are that If the thing
were put to vote Culberson of Texas
would have four-flfths Of the Demo-
Gratis in both branches Of Congress
favoring him for Attorney General,
but he has refused to allow any one
to present his name TO Cleveland, and
will not seek the place in any manner"

One Vacancy Less.

Mr.. Smith, the widely known editor
and popular young newspaper man OF
Georgia, has been rendered and ac-
cepted the important portfolio of Sec
retary of the Interior, in President
elect Cleveland's cabinet. Mr. Smith
himself, says of the matter: "Mr.
Cleveland asked me to take the posi-
ton as a member of his cabinet, and
after due consideration accepted the
honor. The matter was under consid-
Grafton for some time, but was una
BILE to say anything until the Presi-
dent elect had officially made the an
nouncement.n
Hoke Smith will be the youngest
member of the cabinet lie is scarce
ly 38 years old, and smooth, round,
jolly, boyish face makes him look ten
years younger. He weighs close on
to 200 pounds and will compare very
favorably in physique and personal
good looks with any of the other
members of the cabinet. The ac-
quaintance between the President
elect and his new Secretary Of the In
terror is of short duration. They had
never met until about two weeks be-
fore the election, when Mr.. Smith,
happening to be in New York, called
by appointment at Mr.. Cleyeland's
house in Fifty-first street and had
luncheon with the then Democratic
candidate. He went back to Georgia
and whooped things up for the ticket
with a vigor that attracted the atten-
ton of the country.

In the Tolls Again.

DIR. II. p. Wright, the Denison news
paper man who served term in the
Arkansas prison for bigamy, was
placed under arrest again. This time
il is the Denison wife who makes the
charge of bigamy. Wright was ar
rested in Hot Springs, Ark, and will
be carried to benson in a few days.
1t would appear that this "muchly"
married man has the unhappy faculty
of invoking trouble from every point
of the Compass. Indeed, it seems
hardly necessary that he should have
gone to @Hot SpIings' to gel into "hot
water.n

THE CHARITY BALL.

"The Charity Balr' will be given
for the first time here on Thursday,
Feb. 20, by Daniel Frohman's Company
from the Lyceum Theatre, New York.
The play is one of the big successes
of the day. II made furore in New
York, when produced there, running
to crowded houses for nearly 200
nights. II has since been successfully
produced throughout the entire
country.
The following is taken from the
criticism given by the New Orleans
Times-Democrat after the recent en-
gagement of this company in that
city:
at was large crowd that filed the
Academy last night. They saw in the
"Charity BalP one of the dramatic
treats of the season. The play is said
to be Belasco and DeMille's greatest.
"rhe plot bears somewhat of a re-
semblance to many of the same joint
authors works. The play is a modern
society drama. 1t tells tale of real
life.
"The pictures-every one of an in
tense vividness--are drawn 30 true to
nature that they startle the audiences,
and move them now to laughter, now
to tears. "Alabamay' that glorious
story of Southern life, was sermon;
the "Charity Balp another. Those
clergymen who, from their pulpits,
have denounced tho stage, should go
and witness this play. If they could
conscientiously continue their TRADE
Of abuse, they would be marvellous
human beings, Many man in that
large audience last night felt chok-
ing sensation, felt hot tears drip down
from his quivering eye and nervously
bit his lip to try and control his
emotions.
"After gazing on the scenes enacted
one would go to his home, a better,
nobler man, determined to live up to
the examples shown him that night"
The company is direct from the
New York Lyceum Theatre. The
high standard of excellence uniformly
maintained by the Frohmans, has
become guarantee that the public
may expect full satisfaction, and no
pains have been spared to maintain
the promises of former years In the
present instance. The company has
been carefully selected with view
to fitness for each Of the several parts
and has the advantage of careful re-
hearsals at the Lyceum Theatre. New
and elaborate scenery has been pro-
vided and the stage settings are
promised to be of the best. The
principal members Of the company
playing "Tbe Charity Ball" are Messrs.
Arthur Elliott, W. A. Sands, Homer
Granville, Fred Conger, and the
Misses Charlotte Tittell, Ethel Grey
