says that foreign powers and the revolted Span.
ish colonies will probably regard the murder as
evidence of much wider and more general hos

really exists.
They will see In the assassination proof that
Spain Is the prey of internal dissentIons, and
therefore less TO be feared in such a conflict as
she has boon engaged In. 1t will DO for Spain
herself to rebuff the assumption by acting with
promptitudo and vigor against tho murderer
and his allies.
The Morning Post regards the loss of Senior
Canovas as a heavy blow to Spain, involving tho
probability of q revival of her domestic unctr
~tainties. while her colonial affairs and her rsla.
lions with tho United States are still causing
anxiety.
The Daily NerS says: Death dealt kindly by
him. relieving him OF the personal humiliation
Of the inevitable failure Of SPANS colonial Ad-

TO reform. The future is dark for Spain. This

The Coming Attraction.

In saving the Elleford Company,
which visits Carson on its annual

Sept. 18th, at the Opera House, is fully
up to the standard, presenting just
what it advertises, can be substantial
ed by the exchanges received from
towns where it has played. One
Journal in referring to the EllefOrd
Company speaks briefly. but q word
to the wise is sufficient:
1T is a pleasure to give a word of
cOmmendatiOn TO a c'mpany such as
that now playing at the Opera House.
The Elleford Company is strong one
and has more than the average
amount of talent. The various actors
are pains taking and anxious to give
satisfaction. and that they succeed in
this effort is best shown by the liberal
patronage they have received all oveT
the Coast.
This town has not made many
theatrical companies rich during the
past year or two. but an organization
like the Ellefords can be sure Of play
ing to good houses every night of its
engagement"

has won for it the confidence of Car.

that there is a growing disposition

temptible. 1t don't pay. Getting

For In His Opinion Mrs. siddons Did Not
Marry an Actor.

nccted with the theater, her father,

theatrical atmosphere, and at 10 she
was playing Ariel.
As she grew up she became very
beautiful and had many admirers
among whom was Henry Siddons, {
young actor in her fathers company,
who had little difficulty in winning the
girls heart. Mr.. and Mrs. Kemblc hac
made up their minds that Sarah should
not marry in the profession, in consc.
quence Of which they strenuously op.
posed the marriage, and young Siddous,
in n fit of rGtaliatory humor, composed
a song detailing their opposition and
his trials, which brought about his
speedy dismissal from the company.
Sarah left the company, too, and hired
out as lady's maid in Warwickshire for
two years.
During this time the lovers carried on
lively correspondence and finally,
gaining the reluctant consent of tho
Kemblcs, were married at Trinity
church, Coventry, in 1878, when Sarah
was l8.
1t is said that Mr.. Kemble told her if
she ever married an actor it would
make him discard her forever. After
her marriage he said, ~ may forgive
you without breaking my word, for you
have certainly not married AN actor. ;
