The interior Of Muscat is particularly
gloomy, the bazaars are narrow and
dirty, and rooted over with palm mat
ting. They offer but little of interest,
and If yea are fond Of tho Arabian
sweetmeat called halwa, it is lust as
we'll not to watch it being made there,
for niggers' feet are usually employed
to stir it, and the knowledge Of this is
apt to spoil the favor. Most of Muscat
is now III ruins. Fifty years ago the pop
ulation must have been nearly three
times greater than it is now. There is
also wanting in the town the feature
which makes most Moslem towns pic-
tnresquc-namely, the minaret. The
mosques of the Ibadhhieh sect are suua-
lid and uninteresting. At first it is diff
cult to recognize them from the court
yard of an ordinary house, but by de-
grees the eye gets trained to identify q
mosque by the tiny substitute for min
aret attached to each-namely, a sort of
bell shaped cone about feet high,
which is placed above one corner of the

ably. AT the conclusion of the piece
John L. Sullivan and Paddy RYAN
were introduced by ..Parson" Davies
and gave S-round sparring exhibit
ton. The enthusiasm which the bio
pugilist's;appearance formerly always
aroused IS fast fading away, as is
also the glow of his big fat cheeks
John l.. is growing old.
There will be offered at Harper's
theatre this evening comparatively
new dramatic effort, which comes
loaded down with the most pro-
nounced good opinions Imaginable.
The play is entitled 'For Fair Vir-
ginia" and is the work of Russ Why
tai, an actor of prominence and an
author of unmistakable promise.
For Fair Virginia" was seen for the
first time last season at the Fifth
Avenue theatre, New York, where it
received an elaborate and careful
production. Since then it has been
seen in Chicago, Baltimore and all
the more important cities with equal
enthusiasm. While distinctiveiy
southern in tone and sentiment, and
the war element is used to advantage,
there is something so original and
unique about it's treatment that the
press everywhere regard it as re-
freshing relief. In telling a simple
but exceedingly pretty little story of
domestic difference arising from the
conflict, MIR. Whytal judiciously re-
trains from allowing sectional preiu-
dices to mar the interest. While
heart interest predOminates in Il
large measure, the domestic situa-
tions are vigorougly employed and a
strong undercurrent Of honest.
healthy comedy permeates the whole.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whytai assisted by an
excellent company, give the play a
deserving Interpretation. All of the
original scenic adjuncts figure con-
spicuously.
There will be cause for wonder and
mystery at the Burtis this evening,
for Hermann, with his imps of magic
and his entertainment OF mirth will
hold high carnival there. To wit
ness an evenings performance
is like taking a visit through
fairyland, and as the magician's
program this season is very
elaborate and crowded with spec
tacular magi-phenomia, few will
possibly miss the opportunity OF see
ing him. At. no other time has he
gone to such enpense in representing
snch extravagant novelties. He car
ries with him special scenery, special
lighting apparatus. surprising cleo
trical invention and special leader
OF orchestra to introduce new mclo-
dies and accompanying airs.
