ADJUSTMENTS.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
MAUDE ADAMS.

The important Theatrical attrac
tion OF the next week will be the en-
Tagement of Maude Adams OF th'
Grand Opera House, next Monda!
In the new four act comedy by J.
M. Barrie, entitled Quality Street. '
II The play had its initial produc-
Y tion last week. and from all ac-
counts scored a distinguished sue
cess, proving very worthy ad-
dition to his other delightful play 8
and novels.
In the new play Miss Adams
plays the part Of Miss Phoebe rhros-
sell--"Phoebe of the Ringlets. as
she is famlliarly called. The au-
thor has suggested her personality
10 the following poetic lines which
her lover inseribes 10 her in the
: play: /.
\ ''The lilies are her pretty thoughts.
Her shoulders are the may;
Her smiles are all forget.me not 8,
The paths hel gracious way.
Hne roses that do line it are
lier fancies walking round
This sweetly smelling lavender
l'hoebe and her sister hiss been
compelled 10 open a school for chill
drr,, in their little home, owing to
The reverses Of their fortune. The
lover, DR.. Valentine Brown, cover
ered with military honor, finds
thenl sadly changed when he re-
kurus, and rather bluntly tells Miss
phoebe 80. His latitude stirs up
Abe resentment Of the little woman,
and makes her realize more fully
the narrow lite free from gIrllsh
pleasures and enjoy ment which she
has been leading. She tells her
slater she will endure it no longer.
she will be yonng again. She will
be young girl, if only Tor that
one night. and she rushes up stars
and comes back arrayed in the
white wedding gown OF long ago,
her hair again in ringlets. and her
eyes full of fire and her whole be-
ing quivsring with excitement as
she dances gaily about the room 10
the inexpressable horror OF her of
her more lady like sister Susan,
Captaia Brown suddenly returns
and discovers her. The change is
80 striking that he does not recog-
nize the new Phoebe in the old one.
She is introduced to the Captain
as Miss Livy, a neice Of Miss
Phoebe and finally falls IN loves
s. with her.
The production is dainty per-
feet one in thorough harmony with
the locality, spirit and atmosphere
Of the play.
/ The great demand for seats gives
assurance that the fayorlte little
actress will be greeted by one OF the
largest aud most brilliant aud.

Boston clipper sailed from Sandy Hook
to Queenstown in the SOS In nine days
and seventeen hours, q northwest gale

another trip she reached Liverpool
from New York in thirteen days and

on the threshold. He had heard the
cry, he had seen the gesture. He had
caught. too. a momentary glimpse Of
the wonderful light irradiating her face.
What had happened What could have
happened?
.. "Beatr.ce!" he exclaimed, and ad-
vanced quickly to her side.
But she had been swift, too, to recog-
n,ze that he, too, stood upon the brink
of her discovery, and, springing up, she
leaned with her back against the desk,
her hands behind her, striving to find
and press back the secret drawer.
At last she touched it. 1t closed
with a slight click.
- 'What was that?" he asked. ''stand
aside, Beatrice; somsthing is wrong"
Silently she obeyed him; but the desk
would tell NJ tales now.
There was no aperture IN the solid
wood, no crack or crevice which would
.irticate its secret. Yet, instinctively,
she felt distrust.

asked again.

"Why do you watch the clock 30 anx-

as he sat q moment beside his little
guest and fixed his dark eyes on the
face which &c suddenly paled beneath
their glance. HAS Beatrice made you
co-conspirator again? All, I see I have
guessed rightly! But you need not
fear; her every action tonight will be
Immediately known to me. I have
lately had a horrible dread that her In
sanity might take the form of suicide,

"Suicide?" repeated Cora. her very
lips blanching as she remembered Be-
atrice's prayer to be alone for a few
moments-only a few moments-in the
music room. ~
The clock already was Ginning 9.
Perhaps it was too late to save her!
"Oh, &c to her at once-at once, MI.
Chester! She is in the music room!
Go-go quickly, or you may be too
late!"
He rose with a quiet smile Of tri-
umph on his lips.
II have not left the music room
wholly deserted tonight, my dear Miss
Cora. I had eason to believe my e
Beatrice might contemplate a visit
there. Still, as you suggest, 1t would,
perhaps, be better for me to be on the
spot myself. The tree Is progressing
finely, is 1t not?" he added. Pardon
me for a few moments"
And, bowling, with his old. courteous
grace, he gravely and quietly left the
room.
But once in the hall,his expression
changed, his step quickened.
