THINGS DRAMATIC.
The Eugene Robinson company pre
sented “The Fatted Calf at O’Brien’s
opera house last night. This is one of the
best plays of its kind that has been
seen here in a long time. It is clean,
pure and refined, and keeps the audi
ence in a good mood throughout the two
and a half hours it is before them.
The audience last night appreciated
the play very much, judging from the
frequent and liberal applause. The spe
cialty artists with the company are very
clever, and received several encores.
The play hinges on the return of three
prosperous sons who represent to their
fathers that they have failed in bus
iness. While absent they have all mar
ried and their wives come along with
them and secure board with the family
for the summer, not, however, as their
wives. Squire Daniel Perley has a
niece whom he desires one of his sons to
marrv in order to keen her fortune in
the family, but being married neither of
them can do this. The squire threat
ens to disown them unless one of them
does as requested. In the meantime the
niece has secretly married a painter.
The squire falls in love with the boarders
and in turn proposes to each of them,
and they, under the pretext of consider
ing the matter, ask for time. They con
sult with each other and all agree to
accept his offer. This is too much for the
old fellow and he urges his sons to mar
ry the three boarders and promises in
case they succeed to divide his fortune
among them. They consent.
He has been urging his neice to marry
one of his sons. She learns of the plot
of the sons and their wives and joins
them irT order to secure forgiveness for
her £ti*cret marriage. She goes to the
'squire and tells him she ha^ consented
to marry one of his sons. This brings
about the desired effect and he signs a
paper permitting her to marry whomso
ever she pleases. The denouement is
made when the three sons anti their
wives and the painter and the niece come
to him and announce that they have
been married eighteen months and com
mand the nurse to bring forward the
babies, four In number. These she has
gotten mixed, but finally Identifies each
and returns It to its mother.
As 'Squire Daniel Perley, a rich stock
raiser, Mr. Herman Hlrschburg is very
clever. Besides his splendid acting he
has a good voice and with Miss Lewis
sings most admirably a duet from a
comic opera.
Miss Nellie Lewis as Mrs. McCann, the
Irish comedienne, is splendid. She de
lineates that character very well indeed.
Miss Jennie Lind Lewis has an exquis
ite voice, and delighted the audience with
her singing.
Mr. Shiriff's whistling was about the
best ever heard here. He imitates the
mockingbird and the canary with perfect
ease, and so well that one Imagines al
most that he is listening to the birds
themselves.
Miss Reah Starr as Maple Lester, the
niece, Miss Katherine White, Marie Lee
lie and Miss Lewis, as wives of the Per
ley sons, are good in the parts assigned
them.
As a whole the company ranks above
the average, and the entertainment they
furnish Is very amusing.
“The Fatted Calf" will be repeated to
night.

Against Protection.
London. Dec. 11.—A deputation, headed
by the Earl of Winchelsea, waited upon
Lord Salisbury today and urged that the
government readjust the duty on beer,
so as to encourage the growth of Englisli
hops and barley. Lord Salisbury inti
mated that the proposal submitted by the
delegation meant protection, and said ho
believed that public opinion was not
changed upon that question. Protection,
he said, would not return at any point
where the present generation could look.

An Orphan Asylum and Other Buildings De
stroyed at St. Francis, Near Milwau
kee—No Lives Lost.
Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 11.—A large fire
Is raging In the suburbs of St. Francis.
St. Amelian's orphan asylum was com-^
pletely destroyed, and it is possible that
the liames may spread to the Catholic
seminary, which is separated from the
asylum only by a small creek. The wind
is blowing a gale, and all communica
tion by wire is interrupted.
Close to the asylum ore the chapel, the
printing office and a barn, which are
built in the shape of a triangle. The fire
started in the printing office at 6 o’clock.
All the employes had stopped work,
and the pressman, Chris Fuherman, acci
dentally knocked over a lamp, which ex
ploded. He tried to extinguish the fire
by throwing clothes on it, but at the
same instant the door was thrown open
by the storm, while the draft carried
the flames to the ceiling, which the next
moment was on fire. The pressman
rushed out of the building and called for
help, but as there is no fire department
at St. Francis the flames ate their way
to other parts of the building. In the
asylum there were 192 boys, ranging in
age from 3 to 14. They all marched out
in good order, and no one was hurt.
As there was no fire apparatus a nucK‘
et brigade was formed and help asked
from this city. Engine companies 8 and
10 were ordered to the scene of the fire,
but they were absolutely powerless.
The building, with all its contents,
was burned to the ground, and the fire
men directed their efforts to save the
seminary and other adjoining buildings.
It is snowing now and the hope is en
tertained that the efforts of the fire de
partment will be successfM.
At 11:30 the fire was under control. The
firemen succeeded in preventing the
flames from spreading to the seminary.
The asylum is completely destroyed. The
loss will amount to $50,00ft and Is fully
covered by insurance. As soon as pos
sible the building will be rebuilt.
A Chicago Blaze.
Chicago, 111., Dec. 11—The picture
frame and moulding factory of D. H.
Fritz & Co. was totally destroyed by
fire tonight together with two frame
buildings, occupied as dwellings by four
families. The loss Is about $80,000.
A Woolen Mill Burned.
Philadelphia. Dec. 11.—The worsted and
woolen mill of Croesingham & Patton
was gutted by fire tonight. The loss is
about $40,000; nearly covered by insur
ance.

OPELIKA MANDAMUSED,
Holders of Some Old Railroad Bonds Trying to
Force Collection of Same.
Opelika, Dec. 11.—(Special.)—The may
or and aldermen of Opelika have been
mandamused to appear before the United
States court In Montgomery on the 18th
instant to show cause why they should
not assess and collect a tax to settle a
judgment and costs recovered in the
United States court against the district
of Opelika by John A. Colvin of Atlanta,
Ga. The amount of the judgment and
costs is nearly $9000. Over twenty years
ago the city of Opelika voted $25,000 to
the East Alabama railway and the same
amount to the Savannah and Memphis
railroad, and bonds were issued and
negotiated, mostly to New York parties.
There has been considerable litigation
resulting from the Issuance of these
bonds and the city has been sued several
times in the United States court, and one
council came near being put in jail for
failure to assess and collect a sufficient
amount to settle a judgment.
Finally the old charter was abolished
and a debt paying commission appointed
to compromise- and settle this Indebted
ness. The interest at the time amounted
to as much as the principal, which made
the whole indebtedness about $100,000.
The commissioners succeeded in com
promising and settling most of the bonds
nt probably less than fifteen cents on the
dollar. Mr. Colvin and a few ethers who
held the bonds refused to compromise,
however, hence the suit now pending
in the United States court.
The examination of the witnesses for
the defendant in the Judge Robinson
Impeachment case, which has been pro
ceeding before Commissioner Sayre, has
been concluded. Elghty-flve witnesses
were examined. The case will be taken
up by the supreme court at Montgomery
December 20 for Anal action.

Thirty Shots Fired Into a Train of Kentucky
Republicans.
Eminence. Ky., Dec. 11.—Thirty shots
were fired upon a train load of Louisville
republicans at this place last night as
they were returning from the Inaugura
tion of Governor Bradley. All the win
dows in the last car of the long train,
which left Frankfort at 7:30 p. m., were
shot out and the bullets tore off a large
quantity of splinters of the wood work
in the coach. There were several ladies
In the coach and the excitement was
high. At the first volley everybody lay
flat on the floor. The firing continued
rapidly. The train was just slowing up
at Eminence and in a moment it came to
a standstill. . —
Three men were seen along the track
nnd as the train started up again about
ten more shots were fired through the
windows. Fortunately only one person
was hurt. One man’s neck was cut by a
heavy piece of glass that flew in all di
rections through the car. Many mem
bers of the Garfield club of Louisville
were in the coach. It was here that
Governor Bradley broke off the joint de
bate with General Harding because of
the disorder of the democrats present.
The attack on the train Is believed by
some to have been the outcome of this.

Ambassador Bayard May Decide to Resign,
Says the St. James Gazette—The
Globe's Opinion.
London, Dec. 11.—The St. James Ga
zette, commenting upon the attack made
upon Ambassador Bayard in the house
of representatives yesterday, says: Mr.
Bayard may decline to maintain his
post after the attack that was made upon
him in congress yesterday, and If he re
signs it will be regretted here, as he is a
fine example of a dignified, upright and
eloquent American statesman. But his
alleged indiscretion was so deliberate
that we doubt whether he had not better
contemplate its probable result. We
would resent any British minister mak
ing a speech in a foreign country attack
ing a vital part of our policy.
The Globe says: Mr. Bayard permit
ted himself to indulge in freedom of
speech about his own countrymen, rulers
and politics that would have been impos
sible for a diplomat of the old world, and
we think that the republican majority
are reasonably annoyed.
TURKISH AFFAIRS.
Exequaturs Granted to British Consuls.
Placards Denouncing the Sultan.
Constantinople, Dec. 11.—The porte has
granted exequaturs to Major Williams
and Major Bulman, the newly appointed
British vice-consuls at Van and Sivas,
and also to a British vice-consul at Har
pot. The vice-consuls will start for
their ports immediately.
In the appeal made to the sultan by M.
Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador, in the
name of the czar he strongly advised the
sultan to concede the demands of the ex
tra guardships in order to avoid magni
fying the matter.ns he assured the sultan
the demand would be persisted in by the
The negotiations for a government loan
of £1,000,000. secured by the revenues of
Turkish tobacco, have fallen through. It
is learned that Said Pasha, in reply to
the sultan's demand that he leave the
British embassy and return home, said
that he was willing to live in any place
outside of Turkey that the sultan might
appoint, and would also pledge himself
to keep entirely aloof from politics, be
ing, in view of the circumstances, ex
tremely anxious to leave the county with
his family. To this the. sultan replied
that he was not willing that Said Pasha
should put himself outside of his (the
sultan’s) power, as he was the custodian
of too many secrets.
The result was that Said received the
assent of the sultan to his living any
where within the empire, together with
the imperial assurance that his majesty
would not compel him to hold office, and
upon this assurance Said returned to his
home.
Upon leaving the British embassy Said
left a letter addressed to Sir Philip Cur
rie, the British ambassador, thanking
him for his protection and hospitality.
Sir Philip wrote a letter to the sultan ex
pressing the hope that Said Pasha would
not be harmed.
Placards denouncing the sultan were
posted December 10 in all of the principal
mosques and at the gate of the Yldiz
palace, the sultan’s residence.
After the decision of the porte to issue
an trade permitting the passage of the
extra guard ships through the straits
of the Dardanelles the foreign diplomats
held a meeting, at which they decided an
ultimatum to the porte was needed, in
asmuch as the firmans demanded had
been granted.

SAID’S ACTION UNEXPECTED.
His Letter to Sir Philip Currie Tells Why
He Did It.
' London, Dec. 11.—A dispatch from Con
stantinople dated December 12 says
that Said Pasha’s return to his residence
was contrary to public expectancy. He
drove thither in the carriage of Sir
Philip Currie, the British ambassador,
accompanied by the dragonman of the
British embassy. On the same evening
the secret police, who had been station
ed around the embassy, were with
d"said Pasha, in his letter to Sir Philip
• Currie, dwelt upon his forty-three years
of pu ,11c service, including five as
vizier, and said that now that his health
was exhausted, he was unable to bear the
burdens of the post that the sultan wish-*
ed him to assume. His majesty had aft
erwards offered him a special appoint
ment in the palace to direct important
affairs of state. Unhappily his health
did not allow him to do this. His pur
pose in going to the embassy was to es
cape the embarrassments and thereafter
leave the country with his family.
Said intended to pass a night at the
embassy, in which belief he wrote, im
mediately to the grand vizier, express
ing the hope that his request would be
favorably regarded. On the same even
ing, however, the sultan sent his foreign
minister and president of the council to
Sir Philip Curire and informed Said that
his majesty continued to hold his former
grand vizier in high favor and had en
tire confidence in his fidelity. On the
following day the sultan gave as
surances to the other embassies, express
ing a desire that Said should not leave
the country. While grateful to his maj
esty, Said was compelled to consider the
intolerable intrigues of the palace, and
consequently felt bound to reiterate his
request to leave Turkey. Despite this
the sultan on thirteen occasions sent his
chamberlain and his secretary to reas
sure Said of his majesty’s wish that he
abandon his intention. The sultan, more
over, gave written assurances, for which
reason he remained five days at the em
bassy, despite his intention to remain
only one night.
But, on the other handftiis request had
not met with a favorable reply, whij*
on the other hand, he felt obliged to
attest his appreciation of the senti
ments and assurances of his sovereign.
The letter concluded with an expression
of gratitude to Sir Philip Currie and his
wife. Throughout the communication
with the palace Said Pasha had full lib
erty of action.
Fighting the Administration.
Berlin, Dec. 11.—There was an exciting
scene in the relchstag today upon the
occasion of the delivery of a speech by
Herr Bebei. one of the socialist leaders,
In regard to the recent prosecution of so
cialists and the closing of socialist un
ions by the government. In the course
of his speech Herr Bebei made a violent
attack upon the emperor because of the
speeches delivered by his majesty on Se
dan Day and more recently at Breslau,
referring to the kaiser as a “certairi
somebody.”
President Von Buol-Berenberg caliecj
Herr Bebei to order, but the latter per
sisted in continuing his remarks in th$
same strain. A great uproar ensued, in
the midst of which Herr Singer's voici
was heard above the din crying “we are
Insulted.”
When quiet was finally restored the
president threatened to stop Herr Bebei
entirely unless he confined his remarks
within the limits of decency, whereupon

Herr Rebel retorted: “How la it possible
to omit mention of the kaiser from dis
cussion of the question of the abolition
of less majeste law.”
Herr Rebel then proceeded in a pas
sionate speech to criticise the govern
ment’s recent prosecution of socialists.
He declared that the present conditions
prevailing in civilized states precluded
the possibility of a revolutionary party
obtaining a victory forcibly and argued
that therefore agitation by means of
speeches and the dissemination of litera
ture was justifiable.
Gen. Rronsart Von Schellendorf. impe
rial minister of war. interrupting, de
clared, amid a tremendous uproar on the
part of the socialists, who attempted to
drown his voice, that during the Sedan
fetes the socialists were very dirty ink
slingers. Their infamy, however, was
unable to soil the memory of the great
kaiser, but nevertheless the army would
never forget the depravity of the social
ists upon that occasion.
Socialist Mass Meetings.
Berlin, Dec. 11.—Twelve socialist mass
meetings were held yesterday to protest
against the action of the government in
closing the social unions. Resolutions
were passed charging the socialist party
jn the reiehstag with the duty of taking
the initiative in a movement to obtain
redress.
Bayard Refused to Be Interviewed.
London, Dec. 11.—United States Am

has, without exception, informed all call

Republican-Populist Alliance.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The fact that yhe republicans and pop
ulists have arranged, or have prepared to
arrange, a combination and put out a
Joint ticket in Louisiana seems to be
now known throughout the entire state.
Of oourse the combination will not be de
cided or published until after the dem
ocratic convention has met, so as to take
advantage of any mistakes or errors on
its part, or any bitterness or division
caused by it. Moreover if the combina
tion was announced now It would give
the democracy a chance to act; but that
it will come sooner or later is now uni
versally recognized.
The papers in north Louisiana are
greatly surprised over the combination,
which is one of the most unnatural
known. As the Boyce Enterprise truly'
remarks, the principles of the republi
can and populist parties are Irreconcila
bly inconsistent, and as far apart as the
north and south poles. There is not an
element of union save hatred of the de
mocracy, and no party can be built up
on hatred alone. The populists are white
and believe In white supremacy; the re
publicans believe in negroes and equal
rights. The populists are free traders,
the republicans protectionists; the ■popu
lists bimetallists, the republicans believ
ers in the gold standard. Yet they have
come together, as they did In North Car
olina. with no element uniting them save
hatred of the democracy and hunger for
the offices.

Prof. Arnold of the University of
New York: “I consider that each and
every ingredient of oleomargarine but
ter or butterine is perfectly pure and
wholesome, that the oleomargarine
butter differs in no essential manner
from the butter made from cream. It
is a great discovery, a blessing for tho
poor, in every way a perfectly pure,
wholesome and palatable article.
Silver Churn Butterine is prepared
especially for fine table use. Every de
tail of its manufacture is perfect. Re
cent chemical experiments show that
in nutritive and digestive properties
Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to
the best creamery butter; while in
keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine
is much superior.
