AMUSEMENTS.
Monday evening rhia little Delia Fox
ami her clever company will sing "A
Little Trooper" at the Academy of
Music. "A Little Trooper" Is from the
Flench "Clalrette." by Chlvot & Duru.
The rlece is styled a French vaude
ville opretta and has been considerably
modified from the original, with all
objectionable features eliminated. Miss
Fox enters thoroughly Into the mili
tary Kpirlt which Is necessary to its
success and seems to enjoy the dis
comfiture of her husband as thorough
ly as any of the spectators. As a star
she Is good, chic, charming, as well as
pretty, and cannot fall to attract In
any play she would present. The sup
Krt of Miss Fox is excellent, compris
ing, as it does, many well known oomic
opera celebrities.
...
The public taste, during the past
year, has turned toward the romantic
drama, and In "Tho Man In the Iron
Mask." Donald Robertson and William
Brandon Dougher have a play that
has proven its value as an attraction,
both from an artistic and financial
standpoint. "The Man In the Iron.
Mask" Is an adaptation of Dumas' fa
mous story of the same title, and the
dramatic, as well as romantic Interest,
has been well looked after by Donald
Roliertson In hla adaptation. This well
known and Interesting play will be seen
on Tuesday, Sept. 2, at the Academy
of Music.
The Marie Sauger company, which
was booked for Monday. Tuesday and
Wcdnesduy next at Davis' theater,

Sir: Replying to an article In your pa

1 ib to say: On Sept. 1 we let a contract
to repair our house und build a retaining
wnll to K. a. Williams, who procured u
permit from Commissioner Kinsley to oc
cupy the street. Ill raising the house n?e
esary limbers obstructed the driveway,
making It impossible to set through with
a wagon to the stable, the driver therefor
left it close to the curb and behind tho
building malt rial in the street In such a
position that It was impossible for any
un to Injure It or themselves without coming-
In contact with the stone left by .Mr.
Williams, and some time during the nlnlit
Lord Kinsley and his Hoodoo Perlgo had
the WHgon tuken to the city building, re.
moved u wheel and locked it up in the
police station, which they hd no rlht
legally or morally to do. 1 notified Muyur
Bailey of the action of our lordship KIiib
lrv anil IVrlgo, who sent an order to tliee
otfliiuls to return my property at om-e,
they having no right to ihe same which
thny did. .My wife then brought suit
against Ihere olrtclals for trespass and pro
cured Judgment for the time and damage
cuusert to my buiiincs while said wagen

These are Ihe facts; now. have we out
raged the eity, or have these two out

to outrage a hard-working taxpayer?

All Nonsense.
An old story, that w have not heard
since the ante-bellum days, is revived by
the New York Press, as follows: There Is
a dignified preacher of the Gospel in this
city whose southern wife insists upon hnv-
Ing only colored servants. The butler,
major domo, footman and general facto
tum of the parsonage Is a clever darkey
of 70 or thereabouts, whose education was
"-sadly neglected berore he left old Ken
tucky a year ago. He is trying to improve
h-msclf In the matter of reading and writ
ing, and with this end In view sometimes
creeps Into a dark corner of the church
to hear his employer preach. The min
ister detected him the other day busily
engaged In taking notes during the ser
mon, and 'upon reaching home called him
up.
"Well, Henry," he said, rubbing his
hands with warm satisfaction "1 am glad
to know that you pay such good atten
tion to my sermons. I think i saw you
taking notes this morning."
"Yas, sah."
"Let me see them, Henry. I am very
curious to know what Impressed you
most."
Henry soon produced his (aper. It was
covered with a mass of scribbles, out of
which neither head nor tail could be made.
"Why, Henry, this is all nonsense," said
the parson, deprecatlngly,
"Dat's what I thought It was sah; yas,
sah," said Henry, backing out ot the door,
fully convinced that the sermon was to
be taken as an Idle Joke.

CaRP
It is well known that our fine stock of Carpets, Draperies,
etc., has never been offered at "great reductions," "clearance
sales," etc., for the reason that the goods were new and select
in styles, durable in quality, and right in price.
The recent fire in the Coal Exchange ha3 made conditions
different. The pattern and quality is still the same, but the
appearance is somewhat impaired by having been wet.
Our trade is such that we cannot afford to have anything
in the store with even a suspicion of damage. Therefore
every grade, of goods must be closed out for what it will bring
whether damaged or not. If you need anything for floors or
windows, you may never again have the opportunity of buying,
such goods at such prices.
