PRINCES OF COMEDY.
Williams & Walker in Baltimore next
week

Williams and Walker, the royal
comedians, with a supporting company
Of colOred performers of unequaIIed
merit, as comedians singers and
dancers, will be the attraction at the
Lyric Theatre, Baltimore, Sept. II.
These stars and their company have
just finished very successful en-
gagement in London, and the provin-
ces of England. They appeared by
special command before the Royal
Family of England, on the occasion Of
the birthday of Prince Edward. The
King and the Queen and the assem-
bled royalty. and the public of Eng
land received their coIored cousins
very graciously, and voted them cap
a-pie of all performers or perform
ances they had witnessed. But it will
be found that Notwithstanding their
contact with royalty, Williams and
Walker and their company of choco-
late associates have lost none of their
South and Dixie flavor. The Negro
humOr, the ability to dance and sing
Southern melodies is too deep seated
and part of their nature to lose itself.
1t is like 'tthe smile that won't come
off," genuine and spontaneous.
The author of the new I'm Daho-
mey'' has given his "colored opera
new dress and interpolated it with
numerous, original southern melodies
and dances, which are said to be of
marvellous sweetness and colored &c
centricities.
Bert Williams is like a perennial
spring, bubbling with humor and COM
edy, a never failing source of fun.
If you have seen him we know you
have enjoyed many a good laugh. Mr..
George Walker is the Beau Brum-
mel of the Ethiopian swelldOm. and
without rival in his particular line
of work. All of the colored ladies
and gentlemen of this company meas
ure up to that high standard of merit
and ability which was established by
this company during their former
tours. Their new production Of the
new ''In Dahomey." is beautifully
staged. Costumes and scenery are or
iginaI, suitable and effective; imitat-
ing the jungles of many colors and the
beautiful golden landscape of the
tropics.
Messrs. Hurtig & Seamon who di-
rect the tours Of Williams and Wal
ker have been prodigal in their expen-
ditures for this seasons production,
and it will be seen that in the new
"In Dahomey' is one Of the most mag
nif1cent of the season.

TWO NORTH END
 NEfGHRORS QUARREL,

What is said to have been a brutal assault took place near Belleview street Monday evening. The parties concerned are two men living on Belle view street The story as 1t has been told the police Is substantially to the effect that the men, though neighbors, have been on very unfriendly terms Tor some time and on Monday evening they happened to meet on North Main street car, when one of them opened negotiations, but the other told him he did not care to have any inter- course with him whatever. It is said that the aggressor left the car first, and that when the other man reached q dark place on the street he struck him on the head. That was the mst the man knew for day. His head was not seriously cut or bruised, but the severity of the concussion was such that he was unconscious for a day, both eyes were highly discolored and his head and face considerably swollen. Dr McLinden is attending him. The full particulars of the mat ter have not been reached yet. It is supposed that 1t was with bottle the man was struck, judging from the re- suits of the blow, and because bottle
 was found near where the assault took place. M

DEATH OF A
 SMUGGLER.
One Trick He Tried
 to Work.
Joined Bridal Party and Had the Bride Carry Package-Said it Con- tained Spoons When Opened Had Diamonds

New York, March 30.-Treasury agents have received news of the death, at his old home in Roumania, of Max Lasar, so-called, King of Diamond Smugglers." Lasar was ssent to prison in Buffalo four years ago and, upon tho expiration of his term, disappeared from this country.
 Lasar's last exploit and the one which resulted in his first criminal conviction consisted of making him. self a welcome member of a honey moon party on their travels. The bride herself bore across the bridge at Niagara Falls q package of dia- monds valued at $75,0O0, and thought she was carrying a wedding gift of souvenir spoons.
 From the time he left New York to visit Amsterdam Lasar, had been shadowed by government agents. He purchased q great quantity of unset stones in Holland and when he ar rived at Montreal his every movement was watched On the train which carried him to Toronto was bridal pair, with whom he struck up an ac- quaintance. He induced a friend of the couple to cross the lake with him by boat and met the couple on the
 
 An inspector arrested Lasar as he stepped off the boat at Lewiston. Nothing dutiable was found on him or in his baggage.
 Another inspector had followed the bridal couple, and halted them on the American side. They said they car ried nothing duitable.
 "What is in this package, Madam - asked the inspector, touching small parcel
 '.Some spoons and trinkets," replied the bride, carelessly.
 The inspector tore 1t open and a quart of mangificent diamonds Of all sizes sparkled in the electric lights. The pair were arrested. They de- clared the package had been handed to the bride in Toronto by Lasar, who said it contained a small wedding present, and as he wished to surprise them he would ask them not to open it until he joined them at Niagara Falls, N. Y.
 The bride and bridegroom denounced Lasar, and in November 1900, he was convicted in the United States court at Buffalo and sentenced to short term in jail.
 Two years previously $60,O0O worth of stones were seized in New York which Easar was alleged to have sent across the Canadian border by a Wo- man. He redeemed the Jewels by paying the duty.
