OF Col Watterson's lecture on Abra-
ham Lincoln, the Pittsburg Post re-
Gently said: Although a wet night
and blowing a gale which portended
storm, the audience which greeted Col.
Henry Watterson when he stepped on
the platform was large and representa-
tive of the best intelligence of which
the two cities can boast. On the plat
form were seated clergymen, physi-
clans, manufacturers, lawyers, soldiers
and teachers. On the table was a large
nosegay of variegated roses which had
been sent as a compliment to the lee
turer by the veterans who had been so
courteOusly entertained by him when
at Louisville last September, and who
were present in force to hear his IA
nous lecture on Abraham Lincoln

RICE'S 1892"
There is no installing the success OF
Rice's 1892" which will be seen at the
Opera House on Wednesday April 1st.
Wherever that attraction has been adj
vertised, the houses have hardly been
large enough to accommodate the au-
dience, and the merriment provoked by
tie entertainment has usually been in
cessant from the rise to the fall of the
curtain. A superb organization has
been gathered together for the present
tour. Richard Harlow whose Queen
Isabella has been the town and club
talk CT New York for the past three
winters, has been specially engaged for
this trip, and Bessie Bonehill has been
induced for fabulous salary to aban-
don her proposed starring tour to Join
this organization. In addition to these
unusual magnets, the famous Kilany
| living pictures have been secured for
the tour They will be seen at each
performance, and the public at last will
be given an opportunity to see these
beautiful, artistic productions which
have been so often and so miserably
counterfeited.
