at Washington talking to one-armed
Union veteran-a moOnshiner who
has come to plead for the pardon Of
his wife and child convicted of moon
shining" Touched by the simple
pathos of the mountaineer and finding
that the veterans arm was lost at
Gettysburg, the pardon is granted.
Mr.. Carter, after much research, at last
found an actor so near the Presidents
double that when the curtain rises the
house at once breaks into cheers as the
quiet little giant of the United States
is seen in his Office at work. This play
will open half weeks engagement at
the Grand tonight. The stage we'd
ding that the town is talking about
will take place Wednesday night.
Charles B. Hanford, who now stands
at the head of his profession as an
exponent of the legitimate and class
zeal drama, will bring to the Opera
House on Thanksgiving night the great
Booth-Barrett production of julius
Caesar intact Every set of scenery,
every costume, every armor, in fact,
all the paraphernalia used in the
original production will be seen here.
Mr.. Hanford has gathered about him
for this great production the strongest
company of legitimate actors now be-
fore the public, and includes such we'll
known artists as the veteran actor,
John Ellsler, Frank Hennig, Marie
Drofnah, Lawrence Lowell. Geo. Nor
ton, John Milton, Richard Butler, Paul
G. Taylor and James Young. Each
scene of this great production is a mag
nifcent and realistic picture and brings
out finely the incident OF Shakes
peare's greatest historical tragedy.
At the matinee to be given in the
afternoon Mr.. Hanford will appear as
"Virginius."

is Likely in the Corbett-sharkey Bout.
Both in Good Shape.
New York, November 20.-That the
twenty round bout between James ].
Corbett and Thomas Sharkey will be
brought to decision before the Lenox
A. c. next Tuesday night without any
police or other interference is now al
most a certainty. With the big con-
test only 48 hours hence everything
seems to be running smoothly for as
yet not one word of protest, lay or
clerical, has been uttered in reference
to the meeting of the big pugilists
within the limits of the city.
The legal authorities seem to be per-
fectly satisfied that every detail of the
Horton law governing pugilistic lexhi-
billions in this State will be lived up
to by the principals. Corbett is the
favorite in the betting at 100 to so, and
the general impression is that the rules
governing the bout, which call for
clean break, favor him. The sailor
pugilist is strong on in-fghting, but
has yet to show any degree of clever
ness at long range work, while the
very opposite can be said of Corbett.
Another thing which good judges re-
fer to is Sharkey's lack of control over
his temper when receiving punish
ment.
n iC
under the supervision of Tom
O'Rourke, the sailor has learned to
govern himself in this respect, it is
claimed, and great things are expected
of him by his friends and hackers.
No man could have trained more care
fully than Sharkey has, and the same
means much. Charles White, who has
charge of the ex-champion's training,
is more than satisfied with Corbett's
work and present condition. He says
his man was never in better shape
than now and barring accidents, should
certainly win.
COrbett, White says, Will enter the
ring weighing about 1872 pounds.
O'Rourke said tonight that Sharkey's
weight would be 176 pounds. Reports
from both sides tonight were to the
effect that each man is in the best pos
sible condition physically and equally
confident of winning.
The advance sale of seats has been
unusually heavy, amounting to nearly
$4,000. The purse of $4,000, it is an
nounced, has been paid over to the
stakeholder, Frank Farrell.
