monthly meetings It was the same as
last night. There was no quorum and
consequently no meeting.

AMUSEMENTS.
This evening at the Academy of
Muslo Harry Clay Blaney, - the well
known comedian, will be seen la a
farce written by his brother, entitled
"A Boy Wanted." It is described as a
very amusing skit that gives Mr. Bla
ney ample opportunity for his peculiar
line of comedy work. He is supported
bya strong company.
.'
Miss Lillian Russell, supported by the
best company she has ever been Iden
tified with, will produce her new comlo
opera, entitled "An American Beauty,"
at the Frothingham next Monday night
for the first time on any stage. Miss
Russell's character in the new opera,
that of a beautiful widow, is different
from anything she has ever essayed,
and yet It will not miss the character
istics that have enabled this prima
donna to become the leading artiste in
American comic opera. That is, while
the character is pitched In a gayer and
lighter key than are most of the hero
ine roles in lyrical productions, it has
many moments of great strength and
dignity, and the portrait presented Is
merry and impressive by turns. This
idea has been followed In the prepara
tion of the music that Miss Russell will
sing, the numbers varying from dainty
and tripping measures to those that
are commensurate with the splendor of
the prima donna's voice and method.
The production will have the personal
attention of George W. Lederer
throughout the season. He has staged
the piece himself, and will see that its
original effectiveness Is sustained
throughout its tour. Altogether "An
American Beauty," with America's
favorite prima donna In the title role,
is one of the most interesting novelties
poyelt
of the year.
Of all the favorites among the sing
ing comedians, Andrew Mack easily
takes precedence with our theater-goers.
His magnetic personality, grace
ful bearing- anil charming manner, com
bined with a modest, unassuming style
in the assumption of tho character he
presents, makes him a favorite every
where and with all classes. He will be
royally greeted on his return engage
ment In "Myles Aroon" at the Acad
emy on Wedntsday evening, and will
add many to his already large list of
admirers In this city. The production
will be a new one In a scenic sense.
Davis, tHeatre will have for its at
traction Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday, Sept. 14, 13 and 16, Rose Sy dell's
London Belles. The company Is said
to be a large one nud to contain in its
membership some of the very best var
iety and burlesque stars. The pro
gramme offered Is a long and varied
one, and novelties and features are
noticeable In the bill. "Widow Wynne's
Reception" opens the show. Following
this part of the programme is a long
olio in which the following vaudeville
stars will be seen: The four empros
of music, Campbell and Shepp In Dutch
comedy, Fryo and Allen in a sketch,
Hart & Walling In a novelty, Barr and
Evans, tho acrobatic rube and sou
brett?. Closing the bill Is a burlesque
by W. S. Campbell, "The Isle of Sham
Pain." riKST LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review.
New York, Sept. 11. The stock mar
ket at the opening ruled weak and In
the first ten minutes or so of business
prices declined anywhere from 4 to 1
per cent. Lower cables from London
and a report that the Bank of Eng
land rate of discount would be ad
vanced to 3 per cent, accounts for the
weakness of the market at that time.
Loulsvile and Nashville was a marked
exception, the first transactions allow
ing a gain of hi per cent. Susbequcnt
ly the stock moved upto 42 against
3sV4 at the close on yesterday. Tho
strength of the stock was brought
about by the decision of Judge Spear
ordering the restoration of rates by the
Seabord line and the Southern St'itcs
Freight association. Southern stocks
have been freely sold of late. On the
Idea that the roads have entered cn a
ruinous warfare. The rise in Louisville
and Nashville checked the downward
movement in the general list and later
on, when It was rumored from London
that Indications pointed to additional
shipments of thirty million dollars gold
to New York, the market developed
greater strength. Tho heavy deposits
of gold nt tho sub-treasury also nss'.ct
ed those operating for higher prices.
The advance ranged from U to2r!4 Ier
cent outside of Lackawana which
jumped 6 to 158 on covering of a long
outstanding short Interest. Sugar rose
