THE GREAT NEW SFEOTAOLE.
The Grand Romantio, Historical Creation to be Seen in Connection With the Great Jtiarnum ft Bailey Oirous,
In connection with the great circus owned by Barnum & Bailey, to be seen here, the latest and greatest spectacular production that haa created a sensation
Europe, aa well as in the leading American cities where the show has vis ited, will be given—namely Iuire Kiralfy's grand romantic and historical spectacle, "Nero, or the Destruction of Rome." A large number of eminent artists from different parts of the world haw been engaged to correctly present th™elaborate spectacular.
The spectacular opens with an early morning view of workmen and peasants approaching the city to participate in the festivities in honor of Emperor Nero's return after his great victories. Nero and his friends come in disguise, bent on frolic. They take a donkey away from a poor man and the donkey owner appeals to the populace to his donkey from the supposed strangers. When about to be powered Nero throws aside his disguise and the assailants bow down begging forgiveness. A herald announces the approaching fete. Nero orders the guard to disperse the great crowd, but the guards are largely outnumbered and worsted. The bugle sounds for forcements and soldiers hasten from all sides to aid their comrades. A formida ble riot ensues, but after a determined struggle the mob is routed and dispersed.
In the second tableau numerous artisane and laborers are seen busily en gaged in decorating triumphal arches, public buildings and residences with gala day emblems and devices. Senators, guards and people of all {[classes throng the way. Ladies and prominent citizens in litters and chariots are borne along, and a vivid, animated, realistic view of street life in ancient Rome is presented. A chariot, containing Locusta, a prominent woman in ill favor with the populace, drives past in haste, pursued by an enraged mob. Julius Vindex, a young and noble Gaul, interposes, just in time to save Actacia, the aged blind mother of Thirza, a lovely Christian maiden, from being crushed beneath the chariot's wheels. He also divp-ts the attention of the mob until tho obnoxious lady escapes, and they cheer him for his heroic act, and finally carry hiin off in triumph. Priests now approach the temple of the vestals, where they are received by the vestal virgins and all unite in religious ceremonies. Here a grand chorus is introduced.
At the conclusion Nero's triumphal procession is seen approaching. It is made lip as follows: Gallic embassy and suite procession of priests, vestals, augurs, and attendants Egyptian embassy and suite Agrippina, the emperor's mother, and her magnificent cortege of ladies and household attendants Persian princes and suite Acte, the einper or's favoritb, and her attendants, dis tinguished by the most luxurious evidences of imperial partiality. Tho chorus sings as the procession moves.
At the end of the procession Nero appears in a triumphal car. Soon a wild rumor is heard and Thirza, a Christian maiden, rushes before Nero, fleeing for her life from a mob of citizens and soldiers, clamoring for her blood because of her religious faith. Spalatro, a Roman youth, vainly risks his own life in striving to protect her, and she is on the point, of suffering martyrdom when the emperor saves her. The emperor is struck by the beauty of tho girl. Ho takes her as a captive by force. Her lover, Spalatro, attempts to regain her, and in a fight with tho guards ho is repulsed, and while being dragged to prison ho hurls a spear at the emperor.
An onslaught on the Christians now breaks out and great excitement prevails. The girl begs to be set free, but she is dragged to the palace. Nero refuses to order the savageB to desist in their war upon the Christians. In order to captivate the girl the emperor orders a magnifioent exhibition. He still fails and then he orders her lover, after proving himself a champion in the glad-
iatorial combat, to kill her brother. The girl begs for mercy, but again in vain. Suddenly the brother rushes to his sister and after kissing her, stabs hpr to death. She dies with her arms around her brother's neck. A rerolt follows and the city is burned. Nero then kills himself before the mob reaches him. The ending is simply grand. Thousands of dollars' worth of scenery are used in the marvelous production.

To tho Editor The .Tournft LONDON, England, Sept. 8, 1891.—• This will be my last letter to you from this side of the Atlantic ocean for my time is up, and I Bail for homo to-mor-row. I feel as though I had been out of the world for the last three months, so far as knowing what is going on in the United States, for the English papers publish nothing from the States, except the markets, report on Government bonds, and railroad stock, and occasionally an article against the McKinley bill. As Chauncey DePew tho other day said, that the McKinley bill seems to hurt them over here, and if it hnrts them here it suroly does us some great good. The majority of things are as high in Europe as they are in America, when the American wants to buy them, but there are two things in England that we cannot compete with, in no shape or form. One is clothing and woolen goods the second is labor, and I shall add here that if there is any
Democrat in Montgomery county who thinks he wants free trade I will just refer him to my (former free trade) Democrat traveling companion, Ed Voris, who coines home still a Democrat, but a strong protectionist. Some of the boys who are working at the tailoring trade at home wanted me to make some inquiry regarding wages in England. Well, I have done so, but first I will give you the figures of what a whole suit of clothes costs. I went into Hope Bi others, the largest clothing store in London. They have seven branch stores in London. The first suit of clothes they made me was a tourist suit to order, just such as I pay S30 for at homo. It cost me 88.40. When I was in the tailoring business at home I paid for making a short sacque coat $5. The man that made this one made $2. At home I paid SI.25 each for making the pants and vest. On this suit thoy received 75 cents each. I bought a heavy winter overcoat of the finest English goods a similar coat at home cost 815. I paid $21. I paid for making my heavy 845 coat at home $9 the man that made my new one over here received 84. I paid at the same proportion for suits that I bought, and so did friend Voris. I asked tho manager of Hope Brothers' store to permit me to go through their work room, and they did so. When wo entered the coat making room, which was twenty feet wide by 110 feet long, I counted eighty men at work in that room. They were all sitting on the lloor just as close as it was possible for them to get and bo able to work, and it was so in tho vest and pants department, where tho women were at work. Every reduction of tariff on these goods sends that many more clothes to the United States, gives the English manufacturer and workmen that much more to do, and every dollar thus spent with them takes just that amount away from our home manufacturer, our home tailors, our homo wool grower, and effects every branch of business to some extent. They all know Bill McKinley over here and think he is the meanest man on earth, because they say his bill shuts them off from tho best market in the world. In
Germany, France. Italy and Switzerland I find the average wages of mechanics are about as follows: Bricklayer, GO cents to SI.25 per day stone cutter, the same carpenter, 75 cents plasterer, 75 cents common day laborer, 40 to GO cents male dry goods clerk $4 per week women and girls, 82.50. In all trades men work twelve hours for a day's work. In all positions whore fees are given the clerks got no pay, and in nearly every instance they pay a fee for the privilege of having the place. This class are the waiters in tho hotels and restaurants, and those who serve beer in the gardens.
The question came to my mind where does the Governments that run on the free trade principles get their revenue fund to carry on the Government. Well a large amount of it is raised from an internal revenue tax. A tax that we used to have in our country until after 1870, and of which the people raised such a howl. Every hotel keeper whoso guest's bill amounts to 85, and over has to attach a Government stamp to the bill when it's paid.
In some countries the hotels are required to render a statement under oath, giving the name of the guest and number of his room, and the length of time he staid, and the amount of his bill, and the amount of revenue stamps attached. A failure in any manner to do this meanB eight year's labor in prison.
Every thing you buy, there is a Government tax on it, and every branch of business has this internal revenue tax attached to it, in addition to the local taxes. In all countries that I was in, outside of England, is a city tax on every thing brought within the city limits for sale. Whatever the farmer or the truck patch gardener has to sell he must drive through certain toll gates, so that it can be inspected, and the tax colleoted on the same—and any one taking any thing in without submitting it for duty does not get anything short of prison.
The American and English tourist pass through the regular custom house over here, without much trouble. They only search your baggage, in passing from one country to another,for whiskey, cigars and tobaoco, for they know that Americans buy lots of articles, and pay enormous prices for them, and if they charged them duty on them, they would not buy, and that would cut their people off from an immense trade that they
cannot afford to lose, for Switzerland and Italy live almost entirely on the tourist, and Germany and France get a large sum from them.
The American farmer ought to make big money this year for tho wheat, corn and oats crops out here are a total failure this year, and they are looking for America to help them, as the reports are that we have in America the largest wheat crop in years. I did not intend to write a tariff speech when I began or make any effort in that direction but it may be constreued by some as an intent so I shall close. C. N. WILLIAMS.
