Why Are Actresses Inter.

The extraordinary and Unsuitable in

countries.

Sarah Bernharslt, or of Sir Henry Irv-

the author, the statesman, the soldier,
or the actor. But why should the pub

every man or woman who has ever trod
the stage, no matter how insignificant
he or she may bep Why should | want
to see the porJrait of the supernumcry

or actress, the paper that contains his or
her portrait will be eagerly bought.
There does not seem to be anything
in the dramatic profession which ought
to make its members so remarkably in

"Fly-To"-A Mystery.

Magician Kellar, who is soon to APP
pear in this city, has an illusion in his
entertainment this season that savors
strongly of an affinity with that gentle
man who is accredited with horns and a
caudal appendage. He causes the
physical body of a pretty girl, locked
securely in a huge cage, to instantly
disappear, and to reappear as suddenly
in a remote corner of the theatre, and
few seconds later, when she has again
been secured in the cage, transforms
her into a six-foot soldier in full regi-
mentals. This illusion illustrates a
weird Mahatna theory in India, which
Kellar will explain during his enter
tainment. All of his oriental illusions
are equally mysterious and bewildcring,
and all are presented upon a fully
lighted stage. His entire programme
as presented in Boston and other leading
cities will be presented here at the
opera house, September IA.

Cotton sold at all sorts of prices
today. The buyers drew samples
from the bales and started it at
from 6 to s cents and the bids
would be piled up as long as the
buyer could stand the raise Of the
other buyer who had more sand in
his craw," and he would have to
come off and let the fellow with the
sand" have it. We used to think
that Mark Kosminsky, for his size,
could run the best of the buyers to
the wall, but this year there are
others, and Mr., K. is not buying all
the cotton raised and sold at this
place, though we must confess he
gets the largest part oft. We can
say that the market this year com-
pares more favorably with other
markets where cotton is sold than
any previous year in our recollec-
