A Boston woman has created a local sensation by asking to be divorced from her husband on the ground that he was afflicted with tuberculoI sis when she married him and concealed that fact from her.

BIG SHOW ON MONDAY NIGHT Production of “Coon Hallow” at the Opera House. A natural, consistent comedy drama. flavored with the breexy local color of Tennessee life, and permeated with the soft Southern atmosphere of its valleys, is “A Romance of Coon Hollow,” which will be seen at the opera house next Monday night, with a wealth of scecery and mechanical essects. The success of the play, no» ’ in the eleventh season, lies in its! | splendid construction, and in a rich j humor that is natural and infectious ■ The realistic mechanical effects used : in elaborating the work adds to its! interest. The story finds its origin i in the romantic glen of East Tennes- ■ see known as Coon Hollow. Among the roagnificent scenic effects are a steamboat race on the Mississippi at night, both boats lighted up and under full head of steam; a ponderous cotton compress in operation, and a moonlight view of Coon Hollow, painted from life. A band of plantation darkies are also seen in the songs dances and antics that make the colored race a humorous factory in history. “A Romance of Coon Hollow” is now tn its twelfth year on the road, and that fact atone reveals its merit. The date here is March 18, at the Bosse Opera House. o True A Runyon have the only line of new waists in the city.
