Amusements.

The elements of romance and chiv-
airy are employed effectively in 1.-The
Girl Left Behind Me-" These are
elements which appeal to American
theatre-goers and they should draw
out large audience at Harper's the
atre Saturday evening. But no ele-
ments are magnetic unless they are
combined effectively. That this has
been done in The Girl l Left Behind
Me" would seem to he the case. if the
various endorsements of cities in
| which the play has been acted are of
any significance. The piece is war
drama with the American redskin on
one side and the United States mill
tary on the other. The faY west is
the scene, and the beseiging and
bivouac of stockade form the prin-
| cipal situations. The play is by
those well known dramatists, David
Belasco and FRANKLIN Fyles. 1t will
be acted here by well balanced COM
pany.
The famous Whitney Opera COM
pany OF over fifty people come to the
Burtis opera house Saturday night.
1t is a question if there has been for
years a production of like char
acter that has given more satisfac-
ton. The score contains many
catchy. simple little airs; it abounds
| in beautiful solos and has several
striking choruses. There is Just
enough story in the play to hold the
| interest of an audience and the orig
inality of the plot is refreshing. 1t
| affords ample opportunity for bril-
liant stage setting and gorgeous cos
| tuning.
Wang" the greatest of all comic
operas, comes to the Burtis opera
house tonight. Probably the first
impression produced by Virginia
Earl as Mataya in the coming pro-
duction of wang" will be her re-
markable facial resemblance to Della
Fox. to say nothing of her exact re-
production of the .'pocket Venus"
stage business. With all this she has
a great part of that charm of manner
that carries Della through and makes
all the matinee girls fall in love with
her. Her famous song, "A Shady
Nook, Babbling Brook" is all the
rage. Another number that will be
loudly recalled will be. "Ask of the
Man in the Moon" while the ..Baby"
song. with four pretty midgets toss
ing dolls, will take the house bv
storm.
There are many styles of making
love, in .'Charley's Aunt" the farce
comedy which appears for the first
time in the three cities at the Burtis
opera house tomorrow night.
First to note will be the impetuous
ardor of the young men. Next. the
coy and cute ways in which the in
genious young women lead them on
The proposal by Jack and his accept
ance by Amy makes a chef d'oeuvre
in this line that dramatists can
afford to devote time to studying
Then there is the cavalier in his pet
ticoats. that he is ga little flower bv
the wayside" meeting with which has
bro Ight sunshine into the darkening
years of his life and there is the
Dickensonian figure of Spettigue
with his white chrysanthemum and
his yearning desire to make the bo-
gus Brazilienne his own. And last.
but not least. there is Bah himself,
the arch fun maker, whose heart is
held by pretty little girl and in
whose courtshiP is streak of that
sadness which makes romances so
fearful sometimes.

SENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL.

Attracting visitors TO France from All
Parts of Europe.
BoURGEs, France, Oct 29.-The trial of
the Marquis de Nayve upon the charge of
numbering the illegitimate son of his wife
began here in the cher assizes yesterday.
The case is a sensational one, and is at
tracing widespread attention. The court
room was crowded, the gathering includ-
ing visitors from every country in Europe
and number from America. The wife
declares that the murder occurred in the
Bay of Naples in 1885 She made the
charge fifteen months ago, and since then
he has been kept in solitary confinement
most of the time.
The marquis was wild in his young days,
dissipated a large fortune and then mar
ried rich heiress, Mile Marie de Baut-
reuil, who had an illegitimate son. This
boy the marquis is charged with murder
Ing by throwing him from the cliffs along
the Sorrento road into the Bay of Naples
after having previously stunned the boy
by hitting him over the head with heavy
instrument. The marquis friends assert
that the lad, who was of respondent ma
ture committed suicide by jumping from
the cliffs, and that the marquise had CON
cocted the story to rid herself of her hus-
band, in order that she might marry a
priest who had been the boys tutor, if not
his father.
The city is full of strangers from every
country in Europe, and also present are
some persons from America, who have
come to witness the trial

but, when that party is entrusted with
power, it enacts tariff law that fails to
provide enough revenue by $40, 100000 an
nually, which is approved by the President
Although the injury to American industries
by the present law are patent to everyone
and English newspapers are gloating over
the great improvement it has wrought in the
trade Of Great Britain with this country
little or no improvement can be looked for
until the executive as well as legislative
branches of the government are in the hands
of the Republican party-the party whose
watchword is America for Americans-not
for British or other foreign manufacturers to
dump their cheap products into, while our
own factories and workmen are idle.

Ieavenworth,s Annie Carnival.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Oct. 29.-This city
is today experiencing its first whirl at the
apple carnival celebration. Every build
ing and store front down town is gor-
geously decorated with apples of all sizes
and colors, and the carnival colors-red,
yellow and green--are conspicuous every
where. There are thousands of visitors
here, and more are arriving on every train.
Business is suspended, and everybody is
celebrating. Thousands of bushels of ap-
pies are being used. A street parade nearly
a mile long was the feature yesterday af-
ternoon. Last night the city was gor-
geously illuminated.

IN advocating the nomination of Con
troller Severn we stated that he was justly
entitled to the office, from the fact that he
was removed through no fault of his. His
endorsement by Governor Hastings by ap-
pontment and the Republican voters through
their nominating convention ought to be
sufficient to convince the most skeptical of
his competency. He is the nominee of the
party, and as such should receive the vote of
every member of that organization.

despite the supreme courts decision, Gov
ernor Clarke has not been idle, but has
himself being doing little preparing "on

has had detective, or confidential agent,
at Hot Springs all the time, and has been
thoroughly posted on the every movement
made by the promoters of the fight. Sun

ernor that arrangements had been com
pleted to bring the fight off, and as re-
suit Judge James W. Martin issued war
rants for Fitzsmmons and Julian, which
were placed in the hands of Sheriff Booker.

the matter and at once started for TeXar-
kama, where FitzsimmOns and Julian are

The kidneys may get sick from overwork,

The reason 50 many of our great men die
from Brights disease is that so many oven-
work themselves.
Bright's disease is only one of the many
diseases the root of which lies in the kidneys.

tism, gout, gravel, sleeplessness, anaemia,
nervousness, headache neuralgia, etc.
