John Small, OF Ashville, had a short
but fierce encounter with cat early
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Small, with a
lamp in his hand, opened his woodshed
door when the cat sprang at him. In de-
tending himself the chimney was
knocked from the lamp, putting out the
light and leaving him in darkness. Mr..
Small, by backing and fighting, sue
ceeded in reaching his firearms in the
kitchen. A revolver shot only enraged
the animal more. The cat by this time
was at the top OF the screen door, but q
shot from Mr.. Smsll's gun ended the
fight. The animal weighed eleven
pounds. Its tail was only three inches
long. He evidently had early left the
joys OF domestic life, and gone back into
the state from whence be came. Mr..
Small likes the cat better dead than
alive.

ROBSON AS BERTHE
DISTINGUISHED COMEDIAN BRINGS
"THE HENRIETTA TO THE
METROPOLITAN
COMEDY DRAMA AT THE GRAND
Gay Girls of Gotham to Occupy the
Stage at the Star and
Do Stunt in Min
strelsy.

Tomorrow night theatergoers will have
the tirst opportunity in five years of wit
Messing that delicious conception of bril-
liant humor-Stuart Robson's "BerGe the
Lamb when he commences his three
nights and Wednesday matinee engage
ment at the Metropolitan opera house.
Mr.. Robson has come directly from New
York here, and tomorrow night see the
first presentation this season of his re-
production of THE Henrietta" as this
will be the opening performance of his
season.
1t has often been said that Bronson
Towards play, The Henrietta has be-
come a classic. Of all plays that have
been given the public, this seems to be
the most typically American. Wall street
gambling, speculation, social sham OF
newly made American society, and the
aping of English costumes, are all de-
lineated along with satire, comedy
pathos and tragedy. 1t is a fitting rival
to Bronson Towards other success,
Shenandoah and it is estimated that
in its fourteen years career it has play
ed to nearly 100000 of people.
In making the present revival of 1.-THE
Henrietta Mr.. Robson has been guild
ed by the desire to produce this comedy
in the most noteworthy manner that 1t
has ever been presented. He has select
ed a company that is by far stronger
organization than was the noted cast
which presented it fourteen years ago.
Four of the members of the company

Hand From all accounts the star
and play scored heavily.
Wagenhals and Kemper have made a
three years contract with Miss Jane
Oaker to play the leading roles with Ar
thur Byron, at the expiration of which
time they are to star her in classic
dramas.
Reeves-Smith has successfully started
his tour in "a Brace of Partridges,' an

is not dull line in the piece, and It
also lacks vulgarity The story centers
on a case of mistaken identity.
1.-THE Secret Dispatch" is the title of a
new play by David Higgins dealing with
the home side of the tremendous war
picture called into history by the events
of 1S61-65
Joseph Jefferson, the beloved dean of
the American stage. begins another tour
Sept. 80, in Troy, N. Y.
The starring tour of William Beach In

Madame Modjeska and Louis James

Kathryn Kidder is spending the month
of September as the guest of Richard
Watson Glider, the editor of the Century
Magazine, at his summer home in Lee,
Mass. Rehearsals of molly Pitcher
Miss Kidders new play, will commerce

AS the date of Otis SINNERS produc-
ton of Francesca di Rimini'' draws
near interest in the event increases, and
it is expected that one of the most dis
tinguished audiences of the season will
gather at the Metropolitan to witness
the. first performance here. Mr.. Skin
ner's engagement is for one week, be-
ginning Monday, Oct. Z.
William Collier will present Augustus

have already been starred upon their
own account, and everyone is well
known to theatergoers. Maclyn Ar
buckle, one of the most sterling and i'm
pressive actors upon the stage, plays the
role opposite to Mr.. Robson of Nicholas
Van Alstyne, "Old Nick of the Street"
Mr.. Rus Whytal, who appears as
Nicholas Van Alstyne Jr.," has until
this season starred in his own play in
For Fair Virginia. Miss Dorothy
Rossmore, Mr.. Robson's leading woman,
was for number of seasons leading
woman for Fanny Davenport; Miss Es-
telle Carter was also last season a star,
playing Maxine Elliott's role in when
We Were Twenty-one;'' Miss Marie
Realty and Miss Laura Thompson are
among the feminine members of the
company, while Mr.. Clifford Leigh. the
we'll known English. actor whom Mr.. Rob-
son brought to this country; Joseph K.
Keefe, veteran American actor, and
Charles A. Lane, Roy AtwelI and
Charles Gilbert complete the male per-
sonnet
Although Mr.. Robson has given hun
dreds of characterizations to the stage,
there is none which the public desire to
see him more in that of 'tBertie" Again
and again they have demanded his re-
turn to this role, and he now appears in
1t for the last time, as he is DESTROYS of
having his name rest upon more than
the success of one character. Mr. Rob-
sor's unique personality, his vacant
stare, his capacity for twisting his coun-
tenance in the most surprising knots, his
peculiar voice, have made "Bertie the
Lamb character that will live in dra-
matte history. Those who have not seen
The Henrietta" may be interested to
know that BERTHE Van Alstyne, the lamb.
is looked upon as the fool of the family.
In despair, his father, millionaire broker
OF Wall street, gives him a fortune and
disowns him. The favored son attempts
to ruin the father, but is prevented by
BERTHE, who gives his entire fortune, and
at last becomes leading power of Wall
street.
Nothing will undoubtedly more interest
the feminine portion of the audience than
the elaborate gowns that will be worn
by the ladies on the stage Their diff
ferent roles impersonate society of New
.York's upper set, and elaborate new Gre
atoms have been imported by each fem
inins member of the company, displaying
the latest modish art.

attraction at the Metropolitan opera
house for three nights and Saturday mat
inee, beginning Thursday, Sept. rs. The
repertory for this engagement will be
as follows: Thursday night and Satur-
day matinee, "Theodora;'' Friday and
Saturday nights, Cleopatra
The productions are handsomely staged,
and the engagement will be one of the
important theatrical events of the early
season.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burne will present the
American version of .'Theodora.' Mrs.
Minnie Tittell Bruno will essay the title
role, a part in which she has scored a
personal triumph. Mr.. Clarence M,
Bruno, in the role of Andreas, has
scored no less triumph than Mrs.
Bruno. The part fits him to a nicely.
Being one of those Athenian -heroics, de-
plotting the vigor of manhood, the lover,
the soldier, the leader of men, he Is
given full scope to display his art.
The entire organization, numbering six
ty people, Is composed of actors of repu-
tation and merit, and well drilled SUI
pernumary force that forms many beau
tiful pictures during the play.
The production of this elaborate piece
is made on gigantic proportions, and
forms as grand a pageantry Of magnih-
cent pictures as it is replete with start
| ling and sensational features and effects
The costuming is especially picturesque
| and costly.

INNOVATION IN BURLEsaUE.
Gay Girls of Gotham Give Minstrel
First Part at the Star.


1t will be something of an innovation
to have burlesque company visit the
city, with its first part devoted to real
old.time minstrelsy. 1.-THE Girls of Goth
am" company, which opens at the Star
theater Sunday matinee for run of a
week, opens its bill with minstrel first
part, In which some of the old-time min
strel men are leaders. On the end will be
found Fred Nolan and Dick Brown, both
of whom have won their spurs in rapid
minstrel company. To enliven the first
part will be a stage on which twenty
seven people are picturesquely ranged,
and their songs will be selected from the
best new ones that have been introduced
in New York this season.
The olio has some clever people, includ-
ing Josie Nelson, the dashing serio-
comic star; Richards and Brown eccen-
trlc singing and comedy men; Billie
Gross, most notable monologue artist.
VINO has some new songs; Murphy and
Nolan, in Celtic act entitled, "The Irish
Aldermen, and many other clever en-
tertainers. The cineograph, with some
new pictures, will be added to make the
entertainment notable one The clos
ing burlesque will suffice to show the
elaborate costuming that has been pro
vlded for the company as well as the
handsome stage setting.
A feature will be the medley of songs
provided for the closing act. The
choruses are well selected, the women
shapely and pretty and the whole closing
picture will be one that cannot fail to be
entertaining to those who affect bur-
lesaue as fayorite attraction. The COM

1t was declared by some critics, however,
that the census of the colored popula-

the charge by the fact that the 1890 CEN

in 1870, the colored population was re-
