CONFIDENCE IN CAPTAIN JOHNSTON.

Mr. Walter White of Sheffield, Ala, was in the city yesterday at the Hotel Morris. MT. White has a large number of friends In Alabama. and he was busy shaking hands with his many friends in Birmingham yesterday. He stated to State Herald reporter that he had heard MT Clarke criticised on account of his canvass. which only tended to widen the breach in the democratic party; that he personally admired Mr. Clarke. but he thinks he made mistake in allowing himself to be dragged Into the race for governor. MT. White further stated that there was not single doubt but that Hon. Joseph r. Johnston would be nomi- mated for governor, and would be elect ed in August. He went on to say that the great majority of democrats in the state were for him because they believed him to be the strongest candidate that could be put forward, and that he would get more votes than any other man. He further stated that Barbour county would certainly go for Johnston. as also 'Sssauld Montgomery county.

Lillian Lewis in "Oleopatr, ,,

Since she was here last season Miss Lillian Lewis has played a California tour and added hosts of friends in the west to the hosts of her admirers south. Miss Noll Christine Hill of this city will play Charmian. The barefoot ballet will positively be given, and there is no ques- ton but what two houses will greet Miss Lewis on Monday matinee and night, February 3, at the opera house. The sale of seats begins Saturday.
 The picturesque in drama can go no farther than it is carried in the produc- tion of "Cleopatra," as it will be present. ed by Miss Lillian Lewis. Every oppor- tunity is taken advantage of to make the play pictorial. Music, ballet, ableaux, beautiful women adorned by and adorn- ing voluptuous costumes, color and light, the scene painters art, and the mechan- ics invention; all these are pressed into service to make Cleopatra a dramatic spectacle of imposing magnifcence-and such 1t is Like glorious pageant, the drama presents itself in series of pie lures: the chorus of Osiris, chanted by Egyptian devoteeS; the greeting of Cleo patra when she arrives in her barge the Advertisement of royal dancers, and the queens dance before Antony forms a series of truly oriental pictures. charac- teristic and perfectly consistent with the sensuousness of Cleopatras time. The music Is decidedly semitic. Gorgeous is the only word which can describe the costumes; and whether the beauty of the chorus and the ballet adorns the garments, or the garments adorn the wearers, one thing is certan-the effect of beauty and loveliness is there But 1t is not alone the spectacular which is to be commended-the drama is well acted. Miss Lewis herself has a master ly conception of the Egyptian queen. and her fine physique and splendid voice fit her admirably for the portrayal of this part. The cast which supports Miss Lewis is capable, and includes one of the best classic actors in this country.

Thirty Pounds Heavier Now.

Sige1, H., Sept. 23, 1885,
 Gentlemen: l write you a note in praise of No-To-Bac which 1 took near ly three years ago. I had been using to- bacco nearly fifty years. The habit had grown on me to such an extent that 1t required a pound every ten days, It so affected my nervous system that l could not sleep, had no appetite and was used up generally. On the 18th day of Janua- ry, 1893, l commenced the use of No-To- Bac and gained fifteen pounds the first month. No-To-I3ac entirely destroyed my desire for tobacco. and I have not tasted the vile weed since. l am now thirty pounds heavier than when I used tobacco. and would like to say to every one who uses tobacco take No-To-Bac and be yourself again" Very respect fully yours, l..

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

The engagement of Francis Jones and his company, which was misleadingly heralded as the brilliant operatic com pany," closed with yesterdays matinee and an evening performance. There was nothing that could be called brilliantly operattc' about the company as far as music is concerned; but there was still no lack of melodious effects by pleasing voices. Really the most attracti fea- ture was the beautiful execution of typi- cal Spanish dances by Miss Edith Hall, whose performance was a source of mem oiable gratificatio to friends in this city.
