AlExANDER'S SNAKE.
A Story of Magic and Cree:1iity In the
 Olden Days.

A Story of Magic and Cresaiity In the
 Olden Days.
 No snake that ever lived won greater fame for the time than Alexander's. Lucian tells the story. Apollonius, a master of the magic arts, had many disciples, among whom was practic- ing physician who lived in Abonoti- chus, a small town on the shore of the Black sea. There Alexander was born of humble parentage and imbibed from the old doctor all that he had learned from Apollonius of medicine and mag ic. He was q lad of striking appear ance, tall, handsome. with a fine head of hair lustrous brown eyes and voice Sweet and limpid. God grant," wrote Lucian. who knew him, that l may never meet with such another. His coming was wonderful. his dex- terity natchless. His ,eagerness for knowledge, his capacity for learning and power of memory were equally extraordinary"
 Such was the we'll favored young peasant who sallied forth from his na- tive town in search of fame and for
 
 commas, a shrewd >tipster for the races and somewhat of juggler. The two rogues joined forces and meandered about telling fortunes. Arriving at Pella, they found great number of huge. harmless snakes which lived in the houses. played and slept with the children and destroyed poisonous rats. Alexander promptly purchased one of the largest.'a veritable monster, so tame that it would coil about his body and remain in any desired position. Then he made human face for it out of linen. painted it ingeniously and shaped it so that the mouth would open and shut by an arrangement of horsehair, letting the forked tongue shoot in and out at the will of the master. Having no further use for Coconnas, he either administered poi son to him or let him die from some infection and returned with his snake to his native town. There he declared the god Aesculapius was about to ap- pear. The people were credulous, ex- cita ble and eager for a new divinity.
 When the great day arrived Alexan- der pretended to discover in a puddle of water a goose egg which he had placed there after removing the con- tents, substituting a small embryo snake just born and carefully sealing the shell with wax. When the multitude had gathered he broke the shell and produoads the tinx-creatyEe. which ln

MISS MAY ROBSON.

After a most successful road tour through the Western cities, Miss Rob- son commences a two days engage ment at Jackson's this evening in her Aunt Mary" Local theatre goers will have an opportunity of seineg Miss Robson in this delightful comedy, which played to crowded houses at the Garden theatre in New York, two sea- sons ago. There has been no change in the cast. The same excellent company will support Miss Robson here
 Miss Robson has long been known as a. character actress, and the role of Aunt Mary in this comedy is one of the pest she has ever had. It was while reading the book that Miss Rob- son saw in Aunt Mary the character of herself and asked Miss Warner to dramatize the moved for her. In doing SO. Miss Warner has added even more comedy into the dramatization than was in the book. 'The Rejuvenat tion of Aunt Mary" is enc of the most pop ular books on the market today, and mas made many thousands of people laugh, and made Miss Warner famous as an author.

 MIME. SEMBRICH CONCERT.
 The retirement of Mme Sembrich who will be heard in concert at Jack Soii o iiCAt l hCSudy SNciiiIS, 1IOHi lIo opera stage has been the most note- worthy incident of the present season. A prima donna in the very height of her vocal and dramatic powers delib- erately electing to leave the scenes of her triumphs before her talents should show the slightest sign of diminution, afforded a spectacle that has had few equals. New York which has long worshipped Sembrich as the queen of the lyric and operatic stage rose to pay her spontaneous tribute and the scenes attendant upon her farewell have never been witnessed in this or any other country. The following com r1ent by the critic of the New York Tribune is typical of the sentiments expressed by the metropolitan musical authorities on this historic occasion:
 ITO their admiration and love the people here witness in a demonstration the like of which is not to be found in the annals of the American lyric stage. If there is a record anywhere of sim liar festivity or solemnity. it is not within the memory of this writer. the histories or traditions with which he is familiar. The audience was phenom- enal. The flowers placed at the prina donna's feet were a small portion of the offerings left at the opera house. The addresses and the gifts which ac- companied them-eloquent, heartfelt, rich-spoke no more than the applause which burst out like a tempest after every air which she sang Of the grati-

tude which filled the thousands of hearts. And from the beginning to end tho smiles which greeted every one of the pretty coquetries of the arch comedienne were but the avant- coureurs of the tears which came af- terward.
 Tt shall not be told here how Mime. Sembrich carried herself through what must have been a painful ordeal, de- spite the testimony which was borne to her of the peoples appreciation of her marvellous gifts and lovely graces. 1t is enough to say that she was in fine voice and in equally fine spirits, and that all she did recalled the best or her performances in the long period Tn which she has been an ornament of our opera house, an exemplar of all that is most beautiful in the art of song.''
 The sale of seats has been very gratifying. and demonstrates conclu- sively that local music lovers will SUD- port recognized musical offering. There are a number of good seats yet unobtained.
 THE SMART SET. \
 Can you imagine an illiterate negro, with little experience as a tonsorial artist. trying to get the job to shave the President of the United States Can you also imagine the possibilities Of such situation in a musical com edy with the character in the hands of a capable and clever comedian? It is the latest three-act musical comedy production entitled His Honor the Barber" which the popular Smart Set company will present at Jack sons theatre next Wednesday even- ing. H. s. Dudley one of the best known of all colored funmakers, has such role. He makes the most of his opportunities with the result that the offering has proved one of the genuine theatrical treats and novelties of the year.

John Lawson of Waldorf avenue has reported to the police the theft of 10 night.
 James V. T. Bradshaw. the express man of 2600 Main street. surprised a thief in the act of stealing the clothes from Mrs. Bradshaw's clothesline early Thursday morning and frightened him away with a spoon which gave the effect of a pistol barrel in the moon light. Besides dropping the clothes the thief left a bottle of milk behind him which he had evidently picked up from some one's door step. Mr. Bradshaw tried to catch the man but he escaped.
