Moors constructed a chain of fortresses
around it TO guard against any possible
attack. 1t is in the cellars of these ancient
and decaying fortresses that the dungeons
are located. They are hewn out of the solid
rock, and are in tiers at a depth Of 80 or
60 feet The approach to them is made
through narrow openings In the stone
floors of the fortresses, and when the hOr-
rible hole is opened the foul odor Of fifth

The descent is made by a long flight OF
steep stone stairs to long damp alleys, tnat
wind in and around the base of each for
tress. Each of these alleys are small holes
about one foot from the ground, and these
are the sole openings into the dungeons
When a prisoner is to be cast into one

Women i'm Russia.
From the HnmanItarlan

As compared with the women of other
European countries Russian women work
more and weep less, they love and they
hate in perhaps greater intensity, they
marry with more elaboration, they abide
by their choice more firmly, they exalt
their mission of motherhood more highly
and on the bearing and rearing of their
children they lavish all their energies OF
mind and body. To have strong and heal
thy children, sons strong as lions whelps
and daughters fiawless as doves. is the
primary ambition of every normal Russian
woman, and in the upper and educated
tClasses of society she often chooses her
husband (when She has the choice). not
from passion; not from love; not for place
or riches or power, but with an eye to this
purpose solely-"Will he make a good ia
Their of my children9
In conclusion / should like to aver that
the lot of a Russian woman is a happy
one. whatever may be her class. Compar-
isons are odious but if we compare the
actual position, ] should say that on the
whole. the position Of Russian women was
better than that Of English women and
their influence politically and socially was
greater.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Manager G. B. Bunnell in bringing ''The Cotton King" to the Grand Opera house at popular prices has performed a service for which the amusement lovers of New Haven ought to thank him. The performance last evening was one of especial merit. This play with its intricate and well-conceived plot has achieved the position of last ing popularity and in it's presentation last evening it lost none of it's value. The plot of the play is we'll known. Jack Osborne, an American, gets con- trol of an English cotton mill. He meets with ruin. He was ruined by a false friend and while in this coun- try as a representative of a European syndicate confined in an insane asy- lum through the machinations of the man who ruined him. He escapes, reaches home and arrives at the mill just In time to save his sweetheart from being crushed in the factory elevator. This scene is wonderfully realistic and the audience is wrought to the highest pitch of excitement
 The acting of Claude H, Brooke, who took the part of the drunkard, is de- serving of special praise. His acting was the acme of perfection in the role he sustained. Others deserving of es- pecial notice are James M. Brophy as "Jack Osborne" Oscar Eagle as "Rich- ard Stockley" and Franklin Roberts as MT. Fonseea.'' ?
 For the lighter parts Andrew Hayes as "Jimmie Appetite" James P. Mo Donald as "Bennie Tupper'' and Clara Wisdom as kitty Marshall acquitted themselves ably.
 The special scenery of the company is beautiful. The appearance of the mill room scenery is very realistic.
 The piece will be repeated this and tomorrow nights and at the matinee to- day and tomorrow. Matinee prices, 10. 20 and 25 cents.
 The young lady contingent of Plays and Players is way above the average and includes Miss Mae Raymond, who was the first to become a prime fa- vorite on the New York roof gardens, Miss Annie Whitney who made popular Harris After the Ball." Kiss and Let's Make Up" and While the Dance Goes On" Miss Whitney has one of the most phenomenal stage voices and is a. clever and entertaining actress. The Vedder sisters, Madge Olinger and pretty Kittie Mmuts are with the com- pany and contribute their share to the general merriment. The play will be seen Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next week and no lover of fun, music and merriment should miss seeing it. Matinee Tuesday and We'd nesday

That Is the verdict of the largest Mon- day audience at the Duquesne theater. MT. Thomas c. SeabrooKe's departure from the line of comic opera to appear as star in straight farce and legiti- mate comedy was sufficient to draw @ large audience, but the fun he gets out of Leander Richardson's new farce will be more than enough to fill many a theater.

In this piece the prolific and popular playwright has retained his fondness for odd titles, and his latest work is funnier than any of it's predecessors.

4 DIV0RCF CASE.
Mrs. Mary J. H allnes Arings the Suit.

Mrs. Mary J. Holmes, who became widely known about six years ago as the author of a popular novel, has sued her husband, William Holmes, for di- vorce and s5oOo alimony. She alleges adultery and cruelty.
 The couple lived in Ansenia, but sev- eral months ago Mrs. Holmes left her husband, came to this city and lived with relatives in Woolsey street. She is now living in Boston and supporting herself with her pen.
 MT. and Mrs. Holmes were married in 1876 and have no children. Attorney U. r. Goodhart is counsel for Mrs. Holmes, but when seen yesterday refus- ed to talk about the case.
 When Mrs. Holmes novel apeared a few years ago she was threatened with a suit by Mary J. Holmes, the celebrat- ed author, because the Ansonia woman had used the authors name. But when it was discovered that Mary J. Holmes was the Ansonia woman's real name and not 8 pen name she had taken the suit was dropped
 MT. Holmes is still living in Ansonia and is foreman of a shop in that city

po1d,s woNDEn1AND THEATER,

All the brilliant features of the show at Wonderland seem to grow more bril- liant and more attractive, and laugh ter grows more hearty with every per- formance. MT. Watson and Miss Hutchings in their inimitably funny German comedietta are the center of interest, but there are others, notably the musical comique, Edwin Latell, who fairly divides honors and enthu- siasm with them. Then there are the Metropolitan Three, Miss Rita Durand
 the three Bouffons, the Helston Trio, Baker and Boydell, and MT. Wesley and Miss Corinne Norris. Next week Mile. Marguerite, the Parisian marvel, will appear in her extraordinary feats of physical elasticity. Mile. Marguerite has been appearing in New York city only since her arrival in this country two months ago, and the sensation she has made in the metropolis be- speaks for her brilliant success here.
