Brokers, Fail.

New YORK, May 24.-Price, McCor-
mick & Co., one of the largest brokerage
houses in the city, failed to day, with
liabilities estimated at S13,000,000.
The lirm is a member of the Stock,
Cotton and Produce Exchanges and of
the Chicago Stock Exchange, and has
branch offices in about thirty cites
throughout the United ,States The
failure is ascribed TO the fact TINT the
firm was long on cotton in the face of a
fast falling market
A notice on the doors of the offices of
the company referred all inquirers to
VIM. j. Curtis and Vim. N. Cromwell,
assignees. Mr.. Cromwell said late this
afternoon that it was impossible to make
any statement at this hour concerning
the condition of the firm; that its bust
ness is very extended and covers several
branch agencies. The total liabili les,
he said, are about S13 DOC, 900, nearly all
of which was secured. He added that a
staten Mt would be submitted to credi-
tors at the earliest possible date.
The firm is composed of Theodore H.
Price, VIM. G. Mccormick, r. G NJ.
Stewart W ortley and Walter w. Price,
with George Croker, of San Francisco,
a special partner on an Investment of
S000,000. Mr. Mccormick is of the we'll
known Chicago family of agricultural
implement fame, and Mr.. Stewart W ort-
ley is a son-in law of Rear Admiral
Schley. The firm was organized Jan. 2,

QUEEN ESTHER"
An Excellent Performance, Wit
messed by Crowded House.

One of the best amateur plays ever de-
livered before a Columbia audience, as
Queen Esther" NJ nday night, at the
Opera House, under the auspices of the
Ladies' Aid Society of St.Peter's church,
assisted by the Music Club of Columbia.
The reputation of the play and the further
fact that some of the best talent that the
city afforded was taking part, had
created a great interest and curiosity
over the play in the minds of the people,
so much so that not seat was left va
cant in the Opera House; in fact many
we're turned away, not beng able 10
secure seats, and thus missed rare
treat.
Ii is taken for granted that every home
into which the HERALD goes is familiar
with the Bible story portrayed in this
play. The first scene was a tableau
showing the Punishment OF Queen
Vashti, and il was more like beautifUl
picture than something realistic. Mrs.
Anne McLemore well personated the
banished Queen. The second scene
portrayed the Magi. Persian, jews, and
Maids OF Honor, al paying homage t.
Haman the Kings Premier; all, with one
exception Mordecai, the jew. Because
OF this Hannah obtains a decree 10 de
strcy all Jews in the Provinces, not

knowing Mordecai's relation to the new
Queen. Mordecai finds out the plot anu
asks the Queen TO petition the King for
her people, which she does, at the risk
of her own life. The King listens to
her; Hannah is defeated and ordered to
be hung, and Mordecai takes his place
amid great rejoicing. In all this, the
scenery is gorgeous and beautiful; the
singing and acting fine and the costum-
ing brilliant.
From the start, the programme was Of
the highest order, always unique, varied
and pleasing, and, above all, unsteady
good. Mr.. Harry Thompson did the
Kings part well, and Mrs. Baker p. Lee
looked every inch queen. Her costumes
were beautiful and different in every
scene-the mourning scene, the petition
to the King, and at the banquet. Mr..
Arch Lipscomb Jr., showed good deal
of dramatic talent as Haman, not only
singing the part beautifully, but acting
it admirably well, and on the whole
s ,cring quite hit. Mr.. Martin Cox as
Mordecai also made a most favorably
impression, and improved we'll the OPP
portunity to show to advantage his rich
tenor voice. Miss Jennie Green, of
Nashville, acted and sung the part of
the Prophecies to perfection, while as
Zeresh, Mrs. Clark Taylor's voice had
its usual touch of velvet soflness and ten
der pathos. The few lines Mrs. Kate
Williams sang as Mordecai's sister dis
played such a clear, beautiful voice,
that it gave the entire audi
ence sharp appetite for more.
The Maids of honor, Magi,
Guards, Processes, Heralds, the pages,
all did splendidly. The dances of the
Queen page, Lady Anne McLemore,
and Haman's child, Gladys Dedman,
before the King at the Queens banquet,
received the loudest applause of the
evening The Queens costumes came
from Louisville those of the gentlemen
from Nashville. Queen Esther" in
its entirety, was pronounced success in
every sense of the word.
t. Miss Camille Herndon was pianist, and
Miss Rosa Barnett musical director, and
| this important part of the work could
mot have been intrusted to more capable
hands. Miss Herndon had especially
the difficult work of training the princi
pal casts and all the chorusses, and to
her patience, skill and un1agging energy
much of the credit for the success of the
evening is due.

of Jacob Weltmer, located in one of the
spacious and attractive store rooms in
the Catron block, is always well stock
ed and strictly up-to-date in all its de-
partments. Everything in the l.ne of
supplies needed by writers, whether
professional men, literary people, book
keepers or ordinary letter writer's, Is
carried. All the leading daily newspa-
pers and periodicals may be found dis
played on Weltmer's counters. So the
place is much frequented by people who
think and read. 1t was founded by H.
B. Cartwright in 1880, and about two
years later was purchased by Mr.. Welt
mer, who has ever since given his per-
sonal attention to the business. Il was
carried on in the postoffice until the
original Catron block was burned down
in the summer Of 1888, when the post
office was moved to it's present loca-
ton in the government palace. Mr..
Weltmer served as a soldier In the
Union army during the civil war, was
