RAIN POURS AT MUKDEN.
And Men Lie Soaking i'm Mud and
Water i'm the Sleep of EX-
EauStion.

Mukden, Sept. 9.-This evening
around ,Mukden has occurred the
greatest downpour of rain of the
whole campaign, and with it a ter
rifying accompaniment of thunder
and lightning. There has been the
greatest difficulty in preventing the
cavalry stampeding by the double
guard and all the horse lines have
been tied. The men are scarcely
able to keep their feet around the
moving horses and are singing and
talking to quiet them. -
All the lower ground is under
water and Chinese boats from the
Hun river are navigating manv of
the roads and some of the streets.
This makes little difference to the
men who are under canvas, but all
others are soaked to the skin and
are sleeping, exhausted in mud and
water, Indifferent to the weather if

motto has been his guiding star ever
since
Reared ca the farm assisting his
mother and father to improve their
condition in life, he soon became tired
of the humdrum of country life, and
longed to take part in the energy
and activity of the cities, at what
ever labor his hands found to do.
Since his connection with the railroad
he has assisted his father in paying
off the old home debt and by frugality
and industry, has saved up a neat
bank account for himself.
He is a widower, having one daush-
ter, Miss Beatrice Jackson, whom he IS
educating and giving every opportuni-
ty to equip herself for the battle OF
life. Mr.. Jackson is a credit to the
race, and will be heard from in the
future. His father is one of the best

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 a very successful en-
gagement in London, and the provin-
ces of England. They appeared by
special command before the Royal
Family of England, Or 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 colored 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 ''the smile that won't come
| off," genuine and spontaneous.
The author of the new ''In Daho-
mey'' has given his "coIored 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.

/ have enjoyed many a good laugh. Mr..

staged. Costumes and scenery are or
iginal, suitable and effective; imitat-
ing the jungles OF many coIors and the
