HALE A KING.

Francis Wilson is a comedian by tho
grace Of nature. Providence gave him q
genial temperament, buoyant spirits, a
voice that has not its fellow this side of
China, puissant pugnacious nose, and
pair Of boisterious legs. No doubt
Mr.. Wilson would like to be romantic
actor and make love to bread and butler
comedy. There may have been time
when Mr.. Wilson cherished fond hopes of
blank-yerse, calcium lights and Roman
sword. Most successful comedians have
passed through some such stage Of dream
life. But this man has had tho good sense
to follow the lead Of nature, and he is now
dancing along the primrose path Of public
favor, a successful man. Mr.. Wilson ia
announced Tor an engagement on Satur-
day, April 16. at the Opera House, in Half
King Mr.. Wilson is continually funny,
while Miss CHASER is without doubt the
best singing comedienne on the stage to-
day. She sings admirably.

IAN IRISU GENTLEMAN.

Andrew Mack. "ths singing comedian"
as he is usually styled, is player Of wide
popularity who will be understood when
he makes his first appearance here in An
Irish Gentleman on next Monday even
ing at the Grand Opera House. This piece
was written specially for Mr. Mack, by
Ramsay Morris, and the author is said to
not have prepared a capital fit for the star.
but at the same time to have kept out OF
tho beaten track followed by most writer's
in recent years in preparing Irish dramas.
The result is that Mr. Mack will be seen
as ayoung Dublin gentleman who blends
wit, humor, sentiment, pathos and manly
qualities of more stirring nature. That
the comedian will take advantage of every
opportunity offered him is Ger ain. IAN
Irish Gentleman is safe, therefore, to pros
vide excellent entertainment.

in the message Is the most intense.
Among the newspaper men on the Fern

San Francisco came through all right,
but the New Orleans experienced great
difficulty one of her starboard boats
being smashed in and the steering gear
was for time damaged. As she came
up evidence of her rough passage was
easily discernable. Preparations were
quickly made to load the COAL and the
ships will be ready to sail this after
noon.
While the reason given for coaline
here was that the vessels were short of
coal, anxiety may have prompted Com
lnodore Howell to make this port. He
had not heard single word during the
voyage regarding the trouble with
Spain, and without anything definite
there was much anxiety as to whether
the ships might not be taken short
handed by Spanish fotilla and at
big disadvantage. BY calling at Hall
fax instructions could be obtained as
to the course to be pursued in case of
war.
