 QUESTION IN THE FEDERATION

 The new city hall is one of the most superb buildings in the south, and the armory when furnished will be one of the most perfectly equipped armories in the south.
 The military companies are making elaborate plans for the military ball to be danced in the armory on the even ing of the performance at the Jeffer- son. Invitations will be issued to the ball and 1t will be the brilliant event of the season and one notably picturesque. The audience at the Jefferson will be one of unusual brilliancy, for those who will go to the ball will go direct from the theatre. an4 evening dress will therefore distinguish the audience witnessing "Rosedale." The boxes will be occupied by many brilliant parties, and in every way will the occasion be made a great society event.
