MEMPHIS THEATER The great come
dian, John E Owens, commences a
weeks engagement at the theater to-
night, appearing in two of his favorite
characters, Major Wellington DeBoots"
and Scion Single" Both are full of
humor, and will, no doubt, keep the au.
dience in continuous laughter. On
Wednesday night Mr. Owens will appear
in his great role of "Caleb Plummer,"
which is acknowledged by the press as
Il of the greatest im%personations on
the English stage. The deep pathos and
tender feeling Of a father endeavoring to
hide from a daughter, afflicted with one
Of heavens worst Observation-Disclosures
and the misery and poverty surround.
ing their home, are brought out with
such great art and ability that tears are
brought to the eyes Of every auditor.
Indeed, every one who has seen Mr..
Ovens in this character acknowledges il
as the great part on the stage to-day
During the week Mr.. Owens will also
appear as John Unit" in Miss Bate.
mans play of Self, which we believe has
never been performed in Memphis, and
we doubt not there will be considerable
interest manifested to witness the repre-.
'entation. AS this will be the last week oil
first class amusements this season, our
people should take advantage of the op.
portunity and give Mr.. Owens a recep.
ton such as he so ittingly deserves.
PROFESSOR @, S FOWLER will lecture
this evening at the Greenlaw Opera
House. His wide reputation and the
ability he possesses guarantee him full
houses any where he goes in this coun
try. At Chicago recently be had an I'm.
precedented success. A full house MAY
be expected this eneHing and Wednesday
evening. The price Of admission is only
fifty cents. Go aud hear some sount

Mr.. ReilIy's stat m. MIA Healthy
financial showing.

Twenty eight out of the thirty nine
magistrates of Shelby county answered
roll-call at the County Court this morn
ing-the largest attendance Of the term.
Colonel F. W. Register was sworn 10 as
Tax Assessor, John Overtou, jr, aud
Merideth Yates going on his bond, which
was fixed at $4,000.
A large number Of accounts we're
acted upon and much business trans
acted.
James Reilly, County Court Clerk, pre-
scented a statement of the financial con
dition Of the county, which gives a full
and doubtless accurate idea of its condi
ton. We have not room for the state
ment in full, hut give a few items and
the totals; County warrants outstaud-
ing, 1908 OIL 9Oi Mississippi railroad
bonds, 500, 1853; Memphis and Ohio rail.
road coupons, $82, 29O; Memphis and
Selma railroad scrip, $l3,475; bills
payable, a little over $40, 900;
the total assets and credits foot up $500
35l SO, which is an excess of 1851, 1867 CO
over the liabilities. This is a healthy
showing, though it should be remembered
that while the liabilities are all real and
certain, or nearly so, the assets include
all the taxes due since 1870 and claims
against the s%ureiies of Mclean and
Woodward of over $4,000 and thai
over $4OO, 900 are in the Offices of B F.
Coleman and B. P. Anderson for collec
ton.

Modification.

Davidson county is blessed with q
magistrate named Bigby, whose pleasing
familiarity with the works of Dickens
often bubbles up to the surface, to the
e~difcation of his less learned fellows.
The other day he offered the following
in the Quarterly Court:
Whereas, the Legislature Of Tennessee,
in their wisdom (?), have passed a law
requiring jurors to look to the losing and
defeated litigants for their per diem,
without any additional security or com
pensation for their services; and
Whereas, the provisions of said law
justly the conclusion that they must look
to an indefinite time, protracted by the
laws delay, new trials and appeals; and,
Whereas, it is clear that the intention
Of the Legislature, as indicated in the
passage of said law, was to abolish all
trials by jury except in criminal cases;
and,
Whereas, it is the duty of the County
Courts Cor what is left of them to give
effect to and carry out all enactments of
the Legislature; and,
Whereas, In this case our duty is
plain, without application to his honor,
the Judge, or to the County Attorneys;
recognizing the fact that that sacred IN
stitution, handed down to us by our Eng
lish ancestors, which has served v as
q barrier between the encroachments
and prerogatives of crowns and the
rights and sovereignty of peoples, has
played out, or, as Dogberry would say,
become "tolerable, and not to be en-
dured;" and
Whereas, A strict compliance with the
spirit of the said law does mo- n%ecessi-
tate on our part the nomination and
election of jurors to the May term of the
Circuit Court; nor does justice demand
that our fellow-citizens should be taken
from their fields and agricultural pur-
suits to work for nothing and board
themselves, instead of repairing the
damages of blighted harvests; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That it is inexpedient, I'M
just and uncalled for by the spirit Of
the Jaw Itself, except where services are
voluntarily offered, and that this court
place no venire in the hands of the
Sheriff to be summoned and placed
under the obligations and penalties oil
the law for no~n-attendance, and that
this court leave it to his honor the
Judge of the Circuit Court to appoint
men whose liberality, financial ability
and leisure will enable them to practl
cally appreciate the hidden beauties Of
retrenchment and reform, as exempli6ec
in the Micswber policy OF this law auC
to appreciate the justice Of ~discharginG
obligations, like "Sir Felix" in due bills
and hoping that they will also, as Capt
Cutie would say, make a note on it,
the welfare Of the county requiring it.

cts, and mis- hands had shriveled and
shrunkeu away until they resembled the
claws Of a hawk. For many months
previous to his death the old man slept
upon a hearth, keeping himself warm BY
a wood fire, which was never allowed to
90 out. A special feature Of his case
was that his age was we'll authenticated,
as, eighty-six years ago. he was baptized
in the Mission Church at Santa Cruz,
and the record shows him to have been
thirty-six years of age at that time.
