ACADEMY OF flUSIC. The Lillian Tucker Company Here for Five Nights Next Week. The following from yesterday's Dur ham Sun refers to the Lillian Tucker Co., which opens at the Academy of Music for five nights and Saturday matinee, on Monday, 31: A larger, finer or more appreciative audience never assembled in the opera house than the one that faced the Lil lian Tucker Co. last evening when the curtain went up. It was a representa tive andience and one that thoroughly enjoyed the performance through out, as was evinced by the frequent and hearty applause. Miss Tucker is pretty, vivacious and a charming and captivating actress. Her emotional parts come to her with naturalness, and in love and sorcery she is irresistable in their portrayals. The specialties betweeen acts are of the best order and talent. Miss Mary Home and Geo. F. Moore in their work are entertaining and pleasing, and elicted hearty encores. It was left, however, for the Marsh trio, with lit tle Ethel, the baby Patti, to make the hit of the evening and bring down the house in a perfect storm of applause. TO MEET AT ASHEVILLE.

The fun began about 7 o'clock in the morning when the "Queen qf the Forest," one of the largest cjoes ever seen in that section, was awakened in the shades of a mountain cove near Toe river, by the heavy baying of some as good dogs as ever scented a trail or forced a path throngh a North Carolina moun tain fastness. The excited doe sniffed the tainted air, shook the dew drops from her flanks, and with swift foot sought refuge from her pursuers in the direction of Jarrett'a creek, McDowell county. She was shot several times before the crek waa reached, where the dogs in close pursuit, Bonnie" and "Lee" in the lead, captured the game. When the huntera arrived at 12:30 they found, the dogs and deer lying on the bank of the creek, the dogs stiff from their long run and the deer dead.

A Washington special to this morn ing's Charlotte Observer says: It was settled today that Judge Ew art will be' appointed judge for the Western North Carolina district. It has been the uniform policy of both parties to observe the age of lim itation in the appointment of United States judges, otherwise the appoint ment of Lusk was certain. The President was emphatic today in declaring his purpose to appoint Judge Ewart. I know Judge Ewart was suggested by Senator Pritchard and Representative Pearson, and the President said: "I will appoint Judge Ewart. I know J udge Ewart well and it will give me pleasure to make the appointment." That settled it and it can be said that there will be no opposition to his con firmation. When the matter was call ed to Senator Lodge's attention today he laughed at the idea of opposing Judge Ewart. He accepted Mr. Ew art 's speech in the house, in which ref erence was made to him, as more of a compliment than an affront. Judge Douglas has also assured Judge Ewart that he has no intention to oppose his confirmation. CORBETT SIGNS FOR A FIGHT. The Challenge Will be Submitted to Fltzsimtnons Sunday. Chicago, Jan. 25.
