Henry, who left the city this morning for a visit to St. Louis, said to a Journal reporter before leaving: “The Journal can put me down as favor ing a straightout republican for the nomi nation for governor.

Mr. Morris, though yet young in years, has already attained considerable repu tation on the stage, and his acting last night sustained that well earned reputa tion. “The Lost Paradise" is a labor story and has to do with a strike at a rolling mill. Reuben Warner is superintendent of the mill, owned by Andrew Knowlton. I)r. Standlsh had patented an invention of Warner's unknown to the latter, who believed it to be the doctor’s Ideas, The night before dying Dr. Standlsh imparted this information to Knowlton, who kept it from Warner. Years later Warner dis covered in Dr. Standlsh's diary a story of the invention, but through his love for Knowlton’s daughter would not attempt to recover what had been stolen from him. Dr. Standisli’s son was engaged to • Knowlton’s daughter and had been given the business management of the mill. The men made a demand for a 10 per cent raise, which he refused, and a strike fol lowed. Standlsh and Warner quarreled over the strike and the former threatened to discharge the latter. Warner was made leader of the strikers and after fruitless conferences Informed Knowlton that un Jess the demands were granted by 5 p. m. he would force a settlement. This brought the desired effect. The strike was de clared off. Knowlton’s daughter breaks her engagement with Standlsh and the curtain falls on her In Warner's arms, happy in each other’s love. Mr. Morris was pleasing as Reuben Warner and the audience gave him liber al applause. The balance of the cast was very well placed—Richard Williams as Andrew Knowlton; Blngley Fales as Ralph Standlsh; Oscar L. Plgman as Bob Appleton, a hale fellow well met and who was always gushing over, to the amusement of the audlenoo; Francis Guunt as Margaret Knowlton; Etta Haw kins as Cinders, a shop girl and an orig inal character. “Trilby” will be here tonight and at matinee this afternoon. In its criticism of this play the Boston Traveler says: “Trilby” Tonight and Matinee. “Trilby,” that idyl of the quarter Latin, that enchanting romance of artist life In Paris, wherein the truth is told and seen as only a poet and a painter can see and tell it; a tale, like the Greek lan guage, as young Coleridge described It, “to which nothing was vulgar, from which nothing was excluded;" vision of womanly gentleness, sweetness and va ried charm, shown against a background of triviality and sensuality, wherein nought is set down in malice, and only such extenuation i3 practiced as the law of Christian charity compels; "Trilby," the gay, delightsome, gentle pa thetic picture of a womanly soul, to whom, because of her much loving, much by the Divine com mand must be forgiven. The “Trilby" of George Du Maurler, which concludes with the brief melancholy and obscure narrative of the subjection of a soul by hpynotic suggestion to the will of an. evil tyrant, is turned by Mr. Potter Into a drama or melodrama of hypnotism al most altogether. The single hint of the novel, during all the life of the charac ters In the studio, of Svengall's mesmeric power over Trilby is enlarged Into a bod ing, ominous threat. Put into actual words and frequently repeated, and the relations of Little Billee and the heroine are finally made to be determined by Svengali’s exercise oft hat power. Once ac cept this scheme—this destruction of the novelist’s scheme—and you may be well satisfied with. Mr. Potter's work. He has built excellently, for the most part, upon this foundation. And Ills “Trilby" may be fairly described as a very interesting and effective melodrama, In which clever use is made, with necessary theatrical breadth aind excess, of some of the phe nomena of hypnotic suggestion. It must also be said in fairness that the spirit of most of the characters of the romance is caught and repeated in the novel. The Laird and Taffy and Gecko and Trilby herself and Zou-zou and Dodor are fig ures and souls that we have all learned to know and love. Svengali is made much more clean, magnificent, mephlsto phelean and demonlo than he is in the original, though just as base; and is so Imposing that It is not easy to believe him vulgar and a blackguard. The keen touching, vibrating passion of Little Bil lee is not—cannot be. of course—shown at Its moments of highest stress, and his horror over the spectacle of Trilby sit ting as a model “for the altogether” Is condensed into a few words and a little “business” within the studio. And the anguish of her awakened shame and re pentance when her lover’s horror touches her spirit is Indicated in a very few words. Grau’s Opera Company. Grau’s Opera company will open a four nights’ engagement at O’Brien's tomor row night "in the “Tar and Tartar.” Pretty girls, with plump and shapely forms, not too sedulously concealed, pleasing costumes in bright and har monious array; brilliant music, snapplly sung and played by good voices and a first-rate orchestra; dialogue full of pointed hits, fine scenery and plenty of song and dance are the attractions which promise to delight the eye and ear dur ing the engagement of this company. As an additional garnishment to this excellent company of comedians there twill be Adelaide Randall, the cleverest of all prima donnas; Fred H. Frear, the original *Iuley Hassan in “Tar and Tar tar," who set New York talking for two years; J. Aldrich Libby, baritone; Miss Hattie Arnold and a fine chorus. The programme for the engagement is as follows: Wednesday night, “Tar and Tartar.” Thursday matinee, “Black Huzzar.” Thursday night, "Beggar Student.” Friday night, “Indiana.” Saturday night, “Grand Duchess.” Salvini as Hamlet. Alexander Salvtnl’s largest houses so far this season have been when he pre sented "Hamlet.” This has been rather surprising to the actor as well to Man ager Wilklson, for “The Three Guards men,” which Is perhaps the most popular play in his repertoire, has heretofore al ways drawn the most money. When Salvini plays “Hamlet” the houses are Invariably packed. This cer tainly seems to do away with the theory that play-goers are becoming tired of the legitimate. It is but natural that they should object to seeing the standard works of Shakespeare presented with the same stock scenery that was used the week before tn a farce comedy. When Salvini Is Eeqp In “Hamlet" It is In an elaborate production of the tragedy. He is the first actor who has presented “Hamlet” en route with full and complete scenic etfects. > GRAU’S OPERA COMPANY. Tomorrow night the "Tar and Tartar” opens up a four nights' engagement that promises to be the most genuine enter tainment ever given to the theater-goers in Birmingham. Grau's troupe is a first class organization in every respect, com prising some of the finest artists that have ever been heard in Birmingham. There is the beautiful and accomplished Randall, the charming and fascinating Leslie, the awfully captivating and funny Fred Frear, who 1b a gheat favor ite here, the irresistible Martin and the Inimitable Waldo. The ensemble of the organization sur passes that of any opera company that has ever visited the city, and the people may be sure* of splendid presentations of the repertoire. One of the beauties of the week will be that Birmingham will see and hear Operas that have not been sung to death In this community, but which are first class productions in every respect. It will, in fact, be the most notable en gagement of opera Birmingham has ever enjoyed. Tiiere are greater artists in the company than any dollar and a half show traveling south ever had. The name of J. Aldrich Libbey alone should suffice the public to know that a $350 high-class baritorc would not be a mem ber of any organisation except of the highest merit. Mr. L-lbbey's last appear ance here was with Pauline Hall. Re member the prices are 25, 35. 50 and 75 cents, and the operas “Black Hussar," “Beggar Student," Indiana" and "Grand Duchess." The chorus is the finest ever heard in this city. General freight and passen ger oflice of Southern Railway removed to No. 7 North 20th street. Telephone 846. 11-5-if _ _ CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.

Magnin, governor of the bank of France, as to to the best means of preventing a crisis culminating in a financial panic. M. Magnin stated that the bank of France had sent 11,300,000 to Constanti nople to enable the Ottoman bank to withstand the run that was being made upon that institution. M. Doumer, minister of finance, pre sided over a conference of leading fi nanciers held here today with a view of agreeing upon concerted action to meet the situation and re-establish the equi librium of the money market. The con ference resulted that the utmost assist a.n.c.e should be rendered to outside trad ers In securities In order to avoid a finan cial crisis. Personal!
