captains wife, who, upon discovering the
supposed perfldy of her husband, imme-
diately dons "a uniform, transforms her
self into Little Trooper" of the Thir-

offense the Little Trooper" is sentenced
to DEATH An escape follows, then hap

title role in the part, being at once the
best work she has ever done, and she has

division of the supreme court sitting in
Brooklyn this morning decided that the

General Passenger Agent.
 St. Louis, Mo.

Fredrick Warde will bring his great revival of Shakesperae's "King Lear of which so much has been written and said in praise, to the Opera House next Friday night.
 The New Orleans Times Den,ocrat says:
 "As a scenic production, Mr. Warde's King Lear" is artistic and adequate everywhere, and per haps no stronger commendation could be given to any scenic produc- tion of really great play. The stage pictures are all artistic and as realistic as could be compassed within the somewhat prescribed limits of stage presentations, while on the other hand they are not of that stupendons class which distract the attention of the audience from the purely dramatic features of the production. Several scenes pre- sented last night were beautiful as works of art, in which the perspec- tive effects were little short of marvellous, while the great storm scene was at once sublime and real istie.
