less. Emperor Joseph, of Austria, has
founded the new Order of St. Eliza

joicing at the termination of what has
always been regarded as a mesalliance
and dread of further assassinations.

' THE THEATRE .
A natural pastoral drama, flavored
with the breezy and local color of Ten
nessee life, and permeated with the
soft southern atmosphere of its val
leys, Ss a "Romance of Coon Hollow,"
which will be seen at the Funke pera
house Thursday, October 6, with a
wealth, of scenery and mechanical ef
fects, and one of the largest acting
companies on the dramatic stage. This
pretity ideal is a mirror of southern
life, a study of character of a people
who will ever interest. To thousrhtf nl
people there, is a splendid construction
of the characters and a humor tnat is
not farcial, but natural and infectu
ous. The story finds its origin from
the romantic glen in east Tennessee,
known as "Coon Hollow." Among the
magnificent scenic effects are a steam
boat race on the MLsissippi at night
between the Robert E. Lee and Nat
chez, the boats lighted and under full
heads of steam; a cotton compress at
work, and a moinlight view of Coon
Hollow painted from life. A band of"
plantation darkies are seen in a wood
landing place on the river, where, by
moonlight, they indulge in the songs,
dances and antics that have made the
colored race a humorous facter in his
tory. "The Romance of Coon ixolTow,"
now ending its fifth year on the road,
comes to the Funke for the opening of
the reguior season. Prices fron- 25c
to $1. Sale of seats opens Wednesday
at 9 a. m. ...
