Necessarily our bears at once jumped at

opened 4 points down, aud from then
throughout the short session remained
within range OF 4 points, closing the same
as at the opening. New Orleans, however,
accepted the fun weakness OF Liverpool,
and Just after the opening a sharp decline
took place, March reaching 500 and May

manned stcady at about the opening bgureg

FROM RAGS TO RICHES. ,.
Initial Presentation Last Night a Splen- did Success.

Initial Presentation Last Night a Splen- did Success. ,.ss~ #.. From Rags to Riches received its initial presentation at the Grand Opera
 House last night and was most enthu-
 siastically received by an audience which packed that popular playhouse from pit to dome and the standing-room sign was displayed long before eight o'clock. The piece is under the man agement of Messrs. Weis and Meyers, and they have assembled a company which is certainly one of the strongest
 and most evenly balancer ever at the
 Grand, and they interpret. the various
 roles in nlasterly manner.
 The company is headed by the re-
 markable boy actor Joseph Santley, who is deserving of all the encomiums which
 have been heaped upon him by both
 press and public during the past few years of his histrionic career, and he is
 certainly destined to become one of
 Americas foremost actors. His char acter is an extremely difficult one and full of sensational work, and he is in the midst of thrilling experiences many times, yet he carries his work with an ease and freedom which is remarkable I in one so young, and the difficulties vanish and become as mere nothings.
 His work last night was finished in every respect, and he received trennen-
 dous ovations in each act. His every appearance was the occasion for an en- thusiastic demonstration by the assem- ' hIed audience.
 l While young, MT. Santley is the stel-
 lar attraction, yet the entire company is composed of people whose names are
 foremost in the catalogue of leading ac- tors and actresses of the country. ] Among them are William Morris, as 1 Albert Cooper, under a brand of shame; Theodore Kehrwalt, as Old Montgom- cry, a wealthy retired merchant; Bige. low Cooper, as Prince Charlie, a gam
 bier and nephew of Old Montgomery; Anna V. Risher, as Gertrude Clark, a ! trained nurse, and Lorraine Adams, as Flora Bindley, frail daughter of Eve | Then, From Rags to Riches is { melodrama of the class which appeal!
 to the sympathies of the public an6
 awakens in them all their dormant en- | thusiasm. Last nights audience wen
 into paroxyms of delight at the heroic work of young Santley, as Ned Nimble who works his way from gutter to pal \ ace. The story hinges on an attempt
 by Prince Charlie to lure away Ned's
