The company that will appear in "Alabama,'' Augustus Thomas' great play, .when the new opera house is opened to the -public to morrow evening, is a notable one. It includes Frank C, Bangs, Clem- trude McGill. The people of Salis- bury should not let a single seat in the beautiful new hall be vacant, and we don't believe they will. The play merits good patronage, and added to this we all ought to show our appreciation of Br. Meroney's pluck and "enterprise Y. M. C. A.

V f The success which Augustus Thomas' American i play, "Ala bama, " has achieved in this coun try is probably - wijhout parallel under like conditions,-; It was an, earlier work of its author andhad to wait for a recognition. When however, the recognition came, it was so emphatic and great that the play'g place in the library of works by American authors was at once-given among, the very first. Tomorrow evening, September 12th, "Alabama" will be "presented at the: new opera house. . J " All. Northern critics have declared it "the .best American play: yet written.' rhat the South thinks of this noble workman be somewhat judged from the I following extract from t he Nashville Herald : "It is au - epoch-making . drama: The author is. the- firV dramatist that has succeeded in-depicting the smooth, even flow of Southern life, and in presenting characters that appear to be really to the manner born. As a dramatist, Mr. Thom as deserves as high a place as Grady among orators, and as Page, John son, Harris and Allen among story tellers. The Wrl4'' BJg Fair. Special Correspondecce ofthfe Herald. - Chicago, Sept. 7. -If 1 knew where to begin I mightgjvea pretty good description ' of a few things that are on exhibition at the World's big faij It is about as hard a thing to decide as where to egin to look when one gets to the exposition grounds. I took my first view from u steamer 'on- Lake Michigan, fend I must conclude that I was wise in so" doing. - By boarding a steamer nn tovnipn haveine 'rjpirjrtumty oi -takings a bird's eye view of the whole affair besides getting a good jdea of -the size and immensity of Chicago. The, compactness with which the city is bui,lt along the lake fruhk is remarkable, not a -foot .of waste space is 'allowed. And I might say right here, a word about'the city of Chicago. In the size of its - build ings it bids fai- to. rival the world. The buildings are all substantially built of ston i anci brick. The greater number of thenrare eight and ten storied high, and I even counted severa that were 3cventeei stories high. The building which the Board of Trade occupies covers a whole squareknd is twelve stories bigb But I unust go on to th fair. A stiff breeze was blowing when we landed on the ground, and con sequently every flag was fluttering. It was a beautiful picture. Flags j - . of nearly every known nationality are presented, but above them all and stripes of America. It would make one's blood thrill. It calls to" mind that the United States are subject to no nation, but that she rises above them all in power, strength and liberty.

Tne exer- cises consisted of speeches, made by the1 goternor and representative men of that State.

Chauncey Depew, the grandest toastmaster in , America, half hour's speech in his most in a I t,nw Tftin. building we take iJ tne different State buildings. We first visit Florida. She is representing her State by her fruits and birds prin cipally. You can see orange groyes with their fruit; then ydu can see the cocoauut and ' cocoanut tree. Next we go to West Virginia, and find the most striking object of interest here to be a sofa and secre tary that Gens. Grant and Lee used when they 4rew up the arti cles of Confederation. Thence we go to Virginia's building, which is an exact representation of Wash ington's home at Mt. Vernon. Much of the furniture of his- aid home is displayed, especially of not an old piano that has been in the family nearly two hundred years. You can see the room and bed en which Washington died. We were shown the pistol iu this b u ilding, with which Aa ron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton; The next buildipg we visited, was Iowa's. Ths wonderful display of this State is enough to dazzle the sight and daze the brain. Their displays consists chiefly of educa tional shows and agricultural pro ducts. The" entire ceiling and walls of the building, which is 79x 123 feel is decorated with corn." They have every animal, bird, plow, etc., made entirely out of corn. They have two ears of corn that arc more than two feet long. The capital of the State, is represented by a structure made out of all the different grains grown in the State. Next we go to Utah, the land of the Mormons. The. thing of in terest hero is an old mumury of one of the mound builders. It is fiveTeet nine inches high and weighs twjnty ppuods.

Theso people were occustomed to bury all the ippie ments that they had with (their dead, and accordingly this myramy is fsurrounded with pots, axea bas kets, war and farming i m plpehts etc. They understood the waving art, for his body was partly wrap ped in what appears to befcotton cloth.

In 1891 when thera was a posi-" bility of war with Chili, Secretary of the Navy Tracy ordered from European manufacturers some projectiles that could not be made in the United States. They reached New York in due time, but the over-zealous custom offi cials heartlessly refused to deliver the munitions of war to the Navy Uapriment until the duty " wa3 paid. As ithappened there was no fund out of which this tax could be paid, and the sheite remained in the custom house nnd are there to this day. ' ' So runs a story which we find" n an esteemed Republican contemp orary. But it would appear that there must be some miscake about it. Were we not told in the last campaign that the foreigner, not the consumer in this case the United States government paid the tax? Certainly we were. It was laid down as the invariable rule. Nothing that paid the cus tom duty cost the consumer one cent more -here, because of that tax; oh, no. How does it happen, then, that the consumer failing to pay this tax is without his fgbods? The answer in that tho Ilepablican campaign orator was without truth in his mouth when he said the for eigner paid the fijxtj; the unrea sonable foreigner fes nothing of -the kind, and nevStlfefT ;i Men3 fine sample shoesriin tans and blacks, Bluchers Balsand Con gress, sizes 6, 6J and 7 just received at E.
