THE TWO ORPHANS.

Kate Claxton's "Two Orphans"
is the attraction for local theatre
goers, at Ghios Opera House, on
Tuesday evening, the goth instant.
Of this performance the Louisville
Courier Journal says: The man
agement of the Bijou last evening
introduced "The Two Orphans"
and the engagement is a worthy
one. An audience commensurate
in proportion to the merits of the
performance would leave no va
cant seats in the house at the hour
for raising the curtain. AS the
blind girl Julia Stuart was at once
pretty and pathetic. There was
no overwrought scenes, no straining
for effect, only the adequate pre-
sentation of character beautiful
for its pathos and purity, and pow
erful in its appeal to all that is hui
name. AS Henrietta} Miss Lizzie
Kendall was exceedingly clever and
the chevalier of Jas, r. McCann
was graceful, virile and wholly ad-
mirable.

TO AMEND THE RULES.
1t Would Force The Republicans to
Answer The Roll Call

The fact is generally well known
in Washington, that the Democrat
ic leaders in the lower House of
Congress have been considerably
exercised, of late, over the DISPOSE
tion manifested by the Republicans
to force them to produce a quorum
upon all important propositions
committed to the House. They be-
leve the Republicans, under leader
ship of Mr., Reed, are trying to
compel them to adopt the expedi-
ent resorted to in the Fifty-frst
Congress, of counting a quorum.
Journal Clerk Crutchfield has, how
ever, formulated rule, which in
his opinion, will accomplish the
same end in a different way, and the
question of adopting it as an amend
ment to the rules is now under con-
sideration. The rule which he pro-
poses is as follows; whenever up
on roll-call a quorum fails to APP
pear, upon demand of any member
the clerk shall certify the list of
members not voting on such call to
the sergeant-at-arms, who shall de
duct from the monthly compensa
tion of such member so failing to
vote the amount of salary for one
day, provided this deduction shall
not be made in case of a member
who is absent by leave of the
house"
&. 1t is pointed out that this rule
would simply carry out the provis-
ins of existing laws which, accord
ing to section 40 of the revised
statutes of the United States, would
require for every day a member of
the House is absent, except on ac-
count of sickness, pay for such day
shall be deducted from his salary,

THE MAGNETIC WONDER.

Annie May Abbott, the Georgia
Magnet" known to fame both in
Europe and America for her won
derful gifts of magnetic power and
remarkable exhibitions as a mag
netizer, made her appearance for
the first time in this city, at Ghio's
opera house last evenining Many
of Miss Abbott's feats of magnetic
force and its transmission from her
self to another person struck the
beholder as truly remarkable. Sum-
moned to her aid, in the exhibition
of her magnetiferous powers, we're
a half dozen or more of our well
known citizens, who, in every in
stance, expressed themselves as
Impressed" with the mysterious
force and power of this lovely hui
man magnet 1t may be mentioned,
incidentally, that Miss Abbott pos
sesses certain force of
attraction that is not altogether
magnetic or at all remarkable, aris-
ing from her personal charms, which
are as clear and distinct as her
mysterious magnetism is puzzling
and perplexing, Altogether Miss
Abbott may be classed an unique
and wonderful parsonage, combin-
ing novelty with mystery in her
feats of magnetic strength, and
power. The performance was uni
versally enjoyed by those present,
and in the event of her return, on
special invitation, as promised, a
Crowded house" is assured.

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs

in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and

FOR THEIR LIVES.

The case of State of Arkansas
VS.. Dave and Jake Laser, charged
with murder in the first degree, for
the killing of Ben Levison, well
known Jewish merchant of little
Rock, was called for trial, in the
circuit court room, at Perryyille
Ark, at noon, on Thursday.
The prisoners were brought into
court by the Sheriff and given seats
within the bar A glance at the
worn and anxious features of the
prisoners told the story of the close
confinement, to every eye.
Jake Laser was outwardly calm,
but Dave exhibited signs ofnervous-
ness. A few moments after they
were brought in they were both
chatting with their counsel and
their appearance was more cheer
full
The court docket showed the
state represented by Walter Penn
berton, f, T. Vaughan and Gen.
Fl. King White. Messrs Martin and
Murphey and ]. f. Sellers, of Per-
ryuille and McKennon, of Clarks-
vile, appeared for the defend
ants.
After calling the long list of wit
nesses it was found that some of
those subpGnaed were absent, but
the State was ready for trial.
The attorneys for the defense
filed a motion for severance Of the
two cases and heated argument
followed. the motion being finally
granted
Both Davis and Jake are charged
in the indictment with murder in
first degree.
Alter. some further discussion by
the counsel, on both sides, the court
adjourned for the day.
The trial was continued through
out yesterday but little headway
was made, owing to the absence of
material witnesses. Eevrything
thus far points to the truth of the
theory, already advanced, that the
defense will make their fight on
/plea of insanity. It is said that
Messrs W. e. Shanahan, of Hot
Springs and w. p. Holmes. Of Cam
den, have been summoned, by the
defence, for the purpose of sustain
ing this plea, with their testimony.
The trial will extend far into next
week, The attendance on the trial
grows larger each day.

A Dramatic Success.

"By Wits Outwitted," which will
be seen at Ghio's Opera House Sat
urday Feb. II, comes preceded by a
record of success in the principal
eastern cities. The play presents a
bright and pretty plot, woven aud
interwoven in intricate meshes with
deft fingers in a most entertaining
and mastery manner-a manner
that at first qrovokes a smile, then
profound laughter, The scenes are
lain in Spain, and here and there we
see touches Of the Spanish charac-
ter. A rich father who desires to
marry his young and handsome
daughter to an old slave trader is
outwitted by his own Vaccinations.
He plans an elopement for his neph-
ew with a wealthy but unknown
young lady, His CONSERVATION can
well be imagined when he discovers
too late that all his scheming for
his nephew has been aimed at
himself, as his daughter is the girl
in question
The idea is a very funny one and
compels laughter of itself. The
company is an exceptionally capa-
BILE one.
