to standi the strain of the trial In the
Police Court yesterday morning, and
upon the advice of Dr. Parker, the case

The case had been called and counsel

She had gone Into her testimony to
some extent. She heard tho firing of five,
shots, and heard her sister scream. She
ran into tho hallway.
"Why don't you go to your sister, you
fool?" said Sandridge to lier; "she needs
you."
At this point the accused, who sat be?
side his counsel, almost collapsed in his
chair, and it was plainly seen that he
was 111 and suffering.
"This case .can't go on with tho pris?
oner In that condition," said Justice
Crutohfleld, and It was postponed.

The State Board of Agriculture will not

This will bo one of the most Important
eeaeione the board has hold for a long
time, as the reorganisation' under the
new Constitution takes place then.
The now board will have but two new
members, . losing .the two whom thoy
succeed. The addition? ar? Professor Ma-'
Bryde and Mr. G?llosplo; ?f the Ninth
Congressional District. They eucceed Mr.'
J. 8. Browning, of tho Ninth, and Mr.

undor the new Constitution cease? to be
a member of tho board. The now board
will be composed as follows:

slato has.been made up, and likely there
will be none. Mr. Heater may succeed
himself, and probably will. Mr. K?lner
will doubtless be made secretary, as he
has always acted In that capacity.

"The French Maid,", which la being
;glven at the Academy this week, Is a
riot of hilarity and a' kaleidoscope of
color. It Is far brighter and prettier, even
than "The Lady Slavey," with which the
organization so successfully inaugurated
the spring season at tho Eighth Street
theatre last week. It Is full of\ glitter
and specialty. Tho bevy of, pretty g(rle
In gorgeous raiment carry ,all before
them. Plot, dialogue, oven tho comedians'
pet jokes go for naught while the womon
In their bewilderlngly fascinating dressos
hold the stage.
The prima donna, Miss Dora de Fellppe,
sings delightfully, and does not fuss
about It?a raro charm In musical comedy.
There aro generally funnny scenes, a real
plot, and three comedians who do not
fall to make you laugh.
Mr. Davles, the tenor of the eomrany,
has his pportunlty, and makos the most
of It. Good tenors are so rare that they
ought to have a chanco to distinguish
themselves.
Mr, Hbopor Is supposed to represent the
admiral. His rendering of a son?; In the
first act is one of tho genuinely funny
things In the performance, He sings as
badly and as much off the key ns he
acts. Mr. Honlelgh is funereally sad as
the Mahragah, but apart from these two
exceptions, the performance Is clean and
bright.
There will be a matinee to-day and the
usual performance for the rest- of the
week.
"The Man Who Dared," at the Bijou,
fulfills the demand of tho hour for what
is sensational In' melodrama?, In the .mat?
ter of stage settings It Is far )ri arlvanoo
ot the majority of melodramas Rotn here
this season.
Arrangements have been ,made for the
display of the lions In a cago In tho Bijou
lobby to-day. Tho animala will bo put in
a smaller cage and will bo on view all
this afternoon. There will bo a special
matinee this afternoon,' nnd. after tho
performance tho lions will be fed on the
stage, and will hold a reception, to which
ail who attend the matlnoo are tnvltod.
This afternoon and to-night will afford
the last opportunities of witnessing this
delightful romanoe. That It has thorough?
ly delighted tho audiences at tho Bijou
is an established fact, and the demand for
soats has boon very largo, Two crowded
houeea aro expected to-day.
To-morrow, matinee and night, thnt
Faweett Company hended hy Peroy Hhs
wcll will opon ? brlof engagement at the
Bijou In Henrietta Grossman's great
play, "Mistress Nell," There will be no
performance on Good Friday,' nnd the en?
