KEENE AS LOUIS. .XI."
A Great Historic Tragedy to Be En- acted by Great American
 Tragedian.

No play of stronger dramatic in- terest holds the stage of today than this historic tragedy of the great French author-Delavig tized from Sir Walter Scott's novel, ''Quentin Durward," and recon strueted with new scenes and situa- tions expressly for Mir. Kcene
 History and romance have depicted Louis XI as superstitious, treacher- ous, rapacious and merciless. All literateurs have followed traditions exactly on these lines They have taken for the action of the play, the last days of the old Kings life, when pursued by the haunting fear of the assassin's knife at every hand, he se- cluded himself in the fortress Of Plos- 1 sis les Tours, and surrounded him. self with the mercenary instruments of his will
 The play is full of startling situa- tions, and as we remember, it is in terprcted through admirably written | dialogue.
 In the character of Louis XT, as in the kindred part of Richard III, it is well understood that Mir. Keene has no living superior on any stage. iife is among tine greatest character actors of the world, and in this play he enjoys the largest opportun- ities for display of his peculiar powers. Louis XI" serves to illus trate the black days ofmedieval his tory, when the rulers wrote tn. chronicles of their times in blood and governed their people with fear.
 Louis XI' will he presented al the Opera-house on Thursday March l9

substance. The extract referred tc is as follows:
 l.. B. Mcfarland appeared before l the Council last night to support A. c. Bryden, of St. Louis, who is at the head of the company that manu- factures this pavement. and who came to Memphis on purpose to lay his material before the Council The proposition of this company is this: They say they cannot afford to lay less than five blocks of the pavement in any one place, as it re quires a considerable plant to manu- lecture and put it down, therefore they offer to lay not less than five squares of this novaculite pavement on Sr. Martain street, nine inches deep and maintain it for five years, keeping it in repair for that time, the city to retain a certain per cent of the cost price by way of indemnity in ease the company fails to carry out its agreement of maintenance, and for this pavement the city is to pay $l.40 per yard. to be paid in in- stallments As the work progresses. It may be stated by way of com parison that a brick pavement costs about S2,50 per yard. and the granite pavement about $3 2 per yard. The manufactures of this pavement claim that it possesses all the quail ties of smoothness and elasticity at tributed to asphalt and all tho dura- bility of granite or the best quality of brick This novaeulite comes from Alexander county, III. It is sort of stone which is ground into powder and this being mixed with water forms a solid substance and makes the pavement. The surface can be made as smooth as asphalt. Mir. Bryden explained last night the process Of manufacture. The origi- nal stone quarried in Illinois is ground and crushed to a powder then, after being conveyed to the place where it is to lay, it is mixed with water and put in the form of the pavement. No other substance is used but water-that is, no com posite material that is likely to de- cay or deteriorate under the infu- ence of climate.
 Mir. Bryden explains that the ma terial does not wear, does not re- duce to dust, is elastic, and although it has been in use for several years there is no indication that it will ever wear out. In case it is desired to take up Il section of the pavement this can be done by drilling it out. Afterwards the particles drilled out can be replaced in their original posi- tions, water poured in and all the pavement solidifed. Mr Bell said that the stone when powdered con- tains about 95 per cent. of silica, and this when mixed with water forms a cement SO hard that it cannot be scratched with a knife. To show that it cannot be affected by climat- ical conditions, he states that it can neither freeze nor burn.
