ADJUSTMENTS.

Miss Nance O'Neil, the now famous
young tragedienne, will present a bril-
liant repertoire of plays during her
coming six nights engagement, which
begins on Sunday evening at the
Clunie Opera-house. The box office
opens tomorrow morning at 8 O'Clock
.'Magda' will be given for the opening
performance. 'Magda' is perhaps
Nance O'Neil's most successful role
This brilliant and beautiful young act
ress brings to every role she attempts
much of her own bright personality,
but in ''Magda" she rises to a hight
that is awe-inspiring. Miss O'Neil is
to-day one of the foremost American
actresses. She has accomplished in
few short years what many other act
resses have been striving for in vain for
many years. Miss O'Neil is a beauti-
full woman and her elegant costumes
have been the admiration of at least
the feminine portion of her audience,
wherever she has appeared, proving
that she retains with her devotion to
art the womanly love for fine apparel
The repertoire for the balance of the
engagement is as follows: Monday, the
new version of Camille" as played by
Sarah Bernhardt, translated and adapt
ed especially for Miss O'Neil by Barton
HILL member of the company. The
new Camille will be dressed with the
costumes of the period 1910 Tuesday

the great German dramatist. This
play was harshly criticised by the San
Francisco press on its first production
and pronounced very faulty. That
was the occasion of it's first presenta-
ton. Since then it has won more
favor, has been corrected in action and
Miss O'Neils manager declares it his
belief that it will become her most fam
Gus play. Subsequent notices of the
play modify the first harsh Judgment
and it is conceded that it is dramatic
ally strong. In truth this drama is
the foundation from which Pinero built
his drama THE Second Mrs. Tan
queray." Thursday 1.-THE School for
Scandal" and for the closing bill on
Friday night, Miss O'Neil will appear
as Leah in THE Jewess." This bril-.

surrender. We let them pass down and got
to the top of the Ridge in time tosee the rebel
train moving along the base of the Ridge
from Bragg's headquarters, on the south
side, and going to the left and front.

what became of the rebels and their cannon,

fired on us. We returned the fire and

On following them down through the
brush and StumpS we found large num-
ber of cannon and caissons, with horses
hitched to them and drivers trying to drive
them; but the drivers abandoned their
horses and ran away.
There being no further fighting we
hauled the cannon and horses up the Ridge
in front of Hazen's tent, which was put up
while we were hauling guns up the hill.
We had 27 cannon. Report was current in

turned over to Gen. Wagner seven or nine of

very formidable works already completed

were inclined to be respectful towards each

the time passed sitting on top of the works
in war of words which at times became
very spirited and personal.

AN ECCENTRIC CHARACTER.
All well-organized troops had their eccen-
tric characters; we had ours. He was a new
arrival of the tenderfoot species, and a
radical miser. The boys used to say if il
ever became necessary for him TO wear a
boiled shirt the first thing he would do
would be TO cultivate a wart on the back
of his neck to save the price of a collar
button. By force of habit the veterans
had learned to appreciate the toothsome
cracker sandwich "a thin slice of raw fat
sow-belly between two pieces of hardtacls),
but l. preferred the ancient way, cooked.
While we were here he used to go a short
distance in the rear, kindle a fire and fry
his meat. He was cautioned against this
and reminded of the fact that experienced
vets could speak advisedly in saying that
shells cared little where they lit, after they
got started, and he might get in the way of
one; but he was stubborn and had his way.
He was engaged in this one day, leaning
over, hanging on to the handle of his fry
Ing pan, when shell came screaming over
