ADJUSTMENTS.
Lady AudleY,s Secret.

AsdUy auAlti 1ttEtt4
 The dramatization of Miss Brad don's powerful work has proved eminently successful and the presen- tation of that very interesting play last night at the Opera-house pleased the appreciativc audience.
 The play itself is of course well known and abounds in strong stua- tions and bright dialogue. The players in the Boston Comedy Com pany read their lines intelligently anl often elieited great applause. Miss Minnie stanley, already afayor- ite here, increased her popularity by the rendition of Lady Audley' Her scene with Robert in the third act was particularly strong Here, too, ,Mr. Molyneaux developed ability.
 The feature of the play, however, was the very clever acting of Mir. Robert Darton as the half-drunken, crafty Luke Marks. He showed clear conception and fine execution. Several times his work was greeted by genuine enthusiasm on the part of the audience.
 To night the Company will pre- sent the greatest of all temperance dramas, fen Nights in Bar-room.

much additional expense. 1t may

ALMOST A CONTAMINATION
Tuesday evening about the supper
hour flames were discovered issuing
from the building of Mrs. Hensel on
West Burke street, occupied by Bak-
er & Rearick as tailor shop. The
alarm was at once given and upon a
party breaking open the door and
dashing water on the incipient fire
a great loss by the flames was pre-
vented. Had the discovery been
made ten minutes later nothing short
of a miracle would have saved the
house and other property adjoining.
The fire was caused by the plaster
ing around the stove pipe became
loose and the wood work adjoining
became too warm and ignited.

At the census of 1880 nearly "a per
cent. Of the colored population was
under ten years of age, while at the
census of 1890 only % per cent. was
under 10 years of age. Samuel E.
Tatum, a Washington negro, in ex-
planning this, says: cit may be a
fact that the colored population is
constantly falling off in it's increase,
for which there may be great many
reasons. We should first take into
consideration the vast number of
colored people leaving the race year
ly. There are thousands who emf
CRATE from the South so light in
complexion that in the North they
are supposed to be white, and in this
way vast number of families in the
