The Austrian Court.

In the Austrian court it is contrary
to custom for perishable articles to
appear twice on the imperial table.
The result is large perquisites for the
attendants. To ono man fall all tho
uncorked bottles, to another the
wine left in the glasses, to another
the joints and to another still the
game or the sweets. Every morning
sort of market is held in the base
ment of the palace, where tho Wen.
nese como readily to purchase the
remains. And there is no other
means of procuring imperial tokay
than this. London Standard

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

At the Grand Opera house tonight and Friday and Saturday evenings "A Romance of Coon Hollow will be pre- scented. In the mountains of East Ten nessee there lies a romantic glen known as Coon Hollow. The strength of Coon Hollow lies in its humanity. Georgia, the roadside violet, and Clyde Harrod, the mountain thistle, are peo- pie one often meets in a days travel in that part of the country, while all of the other characters are flesh and blood beings. The bursting of the dam in this out-of-the-way place forms one of the principal scenic effects in the modest play. It is a scene that is real istic. A cotton compress at work gives sensational effect, and the acme of stage realism is reached in the race between the steamboats Robert E. Lee and Natchez, on the Mississippi river, A unique electrical effect makes one of the scenes particularly strong. Be- sides a complete metropolitan com pany, "Coon Hollow carries two quar- tets and troupe of male and female colored buck and wing dancers. Head ed by the popular little soubrette star, Lizzie Evans.
 Between the acts Professor Wallace's "Glyphoranla will be exhibited. There will be a ladies bon bon matinee on Friday and the usual matinee Saturday.
 The Wilbur Opera company in reper- toire will be at the Grand Opera house all next week.

Entertainments, HYPERION,


 Stuart Robson tonight will produce Charles Burnard's adaptation of the French comedy, Madam Mongdoin," the American title being Mrs. Ponder bury's Past" which is the same now used in London, where the play Is hav- ing prosperous run. Mr. Burnard is the editor of London Punch and is one of England's cleverest adaptors. Mir Robson will be seen in the character of Ponderbury, the poor domineered hus- band, a slave to a knife" the em- blem of his wife's Amazonian virtue, the weapon with which in the long ago she protected herself against an auda- clous villain; the idol before which ev- erybody bends the head, the theme of the story for every new conner. The dialogue and the incidents bristle with the fun of the French authors and the pointed wit of the English adaptor. The comedy will be elaborately staged and interpreted by company of excellence. Sale of seats now open.
 "The Shop Girl'' will be presented tonight. The production will be made With virtually the original London cast Al. Hayman and Charles Froh- man, under whose management "The Shop Girl' is presented in America, brought over about seventy people for the piece. Among these comedians, singers, dancers, and pretty women are George Grossmith, jr., Alfred Wright, Dwyer, Walter McEwen, George Honey, Bertie Asher Violet Lloyd Annie AL Connie Ediss, May Beaugarde, Minnie Sadler, Winnie Rose, Adelaide Astor, Violet Dene, Ida Wallace, Hylda Gal ton, Nellie Huxley, Zara De Larmo, Nellie Langton, Violet Durkin, Annie Vivian, and Dorothy Douglass.

The show is a great one, as good in all respects as any of the splendid ones given there during recent weeks. The four Angela sistera are realizing all expectations, their pretty singing and whistling spec ialty being very attractive. Morton and Mack are making big hit also in their unique Irish dancing and bagpipe play ing novelty. Another very funny spec ialty is the one which Arthur More land and John Hart present, the latter being full as funny as when he played the title role here in "The Two Jofns.' Other pleasing acts are presented by Miss Flo Banks, the Ammons-Clerise trio, Miss Rosina Venus, MT. and Miss Campbell, George Moore and Mr. Baker and Miss Lynn.

MEN, NOT PARTIES.

The time has come, in the history
OF our government, for Afro-Amer
leans to support men and not par
CleS' Parties rise and fall, their is
sues are but glittering generalitie,
and men at the head of them in
augurate measures to suit the time,
and condition of The people.
Leaders of parties are sells sh anc
ambitious, and the people are sub
Iected to their caprices and decep.
tiel. -''----
The coming campaign will be de.
clded. not so much upon the monev
issue, but which MN at the head
OF the respective parties, will i'm
prove the condition of the people.
EX-Presldent Harrison may have
mad his faults, but, he was a true
American and made one of the best
rulers known to the American
people
lie was a Statesman and a man
who believed in advancing the in
terests of the people.
The American people saw their
mistake when they allowed t en-
selves to be fooled by the crafty
politicians and defeat the man who
made the cpuntry prosperous and
fruitful. There was no pestilence,
suffering or labor strikes Of any
consequence, under the last repub-
llcan administration. Men for sell
hsh motives, mislead the people
and caused them to overthrow a
government and defeat man, who
to-day stands higher in the esti-
nation of the people than any other
American citizen.
1t is therefore, the duty of the
people to support men and not par
ties Parties belong to the old school
of politics and men are now rising
who represent principles
The Afro-Americans have com
plants, but their manhood and
courage are mediocre.
They soon loose sight of princi- |
pie and fall into the error of self.
Parties outgrow their usefulness, |
but sound and moral principles 60
on forever. Good men represent
honest principles, parties are com
posed of corruption and chicanery.
Let it be men and not parties.
