Hardly had1 Miss Eugenia Blair been shown, to Oner suit of rooms at 'the Yar borough this morning before nine repre sentative of The Tunes sent hie card up, requesting a chut with her. Al though flatigued from a 400 mile journey, She kindly consented, and the writer was soon in tfie presence of 'the most fas uinating woman on the stage to-day, and espeoiailly so ivhen it is known that she was born in our sister State of 'South Carolina, whikJh possibly accounts for much of her sweetness. ' Actresses, as a rule, first impress you as a little chilly, but, as soon as I came in her presence, saw her bright eyes, smiling face and felt the warm grasp of the hand yes, she gave me a cordial welcome this lovely woman made me feel as if I ihnd known her for years. Of course, I wanted to hear something about the theatrical world, and on ques tioning her, Miss Blair said: "Yes, we have had quite an exciting time. After playing Baltimore, Boston and Washington, we came directly South, and we hind the pleasure of the company of many of the health officers, until we were very tired of telling tlhem where we had been and where we were going. First, we were in Memphis, at the time lour 'Cases of the fever were reported there, nnd it was very sad to watch the crowds of people leaving the city to seek refuge. We remained there for three days, and when we left for New Orleans our friends in Memphis thought that would be the Inst time they would see our company, but airier spend' ing four weeks in New Orleans, playing to very large houses, you see that all or my company, including myself, aie in Raleigh, looking Tather henwtlhy." "What is your favorite character?" "I like each of the characters 1 por tray, but when I am pinned down to one, I suppose I will have to go back to my first love. "And .that is?' "Pnrthenia. The people love Parthe- nia. Ingomar loves Parthenia. Those are two reasons why I love her, and another is that I find much pleasure in playing the part. "Then you are going to favor the Ka' leach people with your favorite rote?" "Tee, it has been so arranged, and to night I will endeavor to seewre some more admirers for 'that sweet character. Pnrthenia. and I trust they will then better understand why I love her so." Miss Blair takes much interest in the social and business part of the many cities where she visits, and I wns sur prised to discover how well posted she is on these fninjeets nnd many ot'hers, including politics. Miss Blair wns so kind to me th.it I did not remnin ns Ion? as T should have liked, as T npprecinted how valuable her time is to her. MR. GUTHRIE TO WARRENTON.

THIEF AT JONES' STORE HIGHWAY ROBBERY ATTEMPTED NEAR THE CITY. Negro Thief Seen Stealing at Jones' Store-Part of the Articles Recovered by Mrs. Williams-Thief Escaped. The general conduct of toughs on Sat urday night seemed to indicate that holi day liquor has reached the bones of the swindling element, and that the Christ mas in their bones has given them the old-time hang-hail habit by which they are enabled to gather presents by the score. In many of the stores on Wilmington street small articles began to disappear early in the evening and as the Saturday night's rush of business took on its usual bustle and the clerks had orders for articles kept in the rear of the stores, many such articles as are kept outside store doors and in the entrance way, took unto themselves wings and flew away. . In one etore a clock waa found to be missing, and in another a watch, while lower down the street several bunches of fish, which were to be sold to some hard working man for his breakfast, were carried off by an idler and up to this time no trace has been discovered that may lead to the apprehension of any of the thiefs. W. E. Jones store on Fayetteville street was thrown into great excitement about nine o'clock Saturday night by a cry of "Thief, Thief," which came from the rear of the store. It came from Mrs. Williams in the Millinery Department, who had sus pected a negro customer. For some minutes a stent, heavy-set negro bad bung nbout the counters looking at the different articles, amd then passed into the clothing depart ment. He carried a large sack under his arm and no one except Mrs. Wil liams took any special notice of him. After she had watched him for some time she asked what he wanted, ne said five cents worth of ribbon, just any old kind. . While getting the ribbon Mrs. Williams kept a close eye on the negro, and discovered a pair of trousers in the sack which he had thoughtlessly placed near the counter. She called to the negro asking what waa in the sack, and he seemed much insulted by her ques tioning him. Mrs. Williams grabbed the sack, and the negro, while taking it from her, let her pull out a pair of trousers be tad stolen from the clothing department He saw that she recognized the garment aa a new one and made a hasty retreat. What other articles were stolen ia not know, as the negro escaped with he sack, anlf abere baa been no descrip tion given by which the man may be detected. , 1 Many little fights took place in the Bowery later In the night, bat none resulted seriously. Sunday morning before day broke Sonny Williams, for thirteen years a faithful negro servant to the late Mr. A. T. Mial, who died on Friday night, waa coming to Raleigh to make some ar rangements for the funeral, and aa be came near to the iron bridge over the Neuse, about six miles from the city, two men called to falm to bait, one grab- two men called to urn to bale, one grabbed the horse's head, the other grab bing the buggy. ' Williams had no fire arms and nothing with which he might defend himself, so he struck Mr. Maal's good horse a hard blow and was quickly jerked by the men, one of whom struck at him with a large stick., The negro came on towards Raleigh at a fast gait, and soon met Mr. W. T. Terry, who is in ilJhe service of the Gov ernor, and who was ou his way to the funeral, and who had his family wit him. Williams related the etory of his ad venture to Sir. Terry, and as the latter had his wife aud children with stopped1 at- a nearby house, until day. light. . This is he second occurrence of its kind in that neighborhood recently, and some steps should be taken to break a tifi sort of highway robbery.
