MIR. James speed Dead.


The friends of Mr.. James Speed,
and they are legion, were shocked last
night to hear of his sudden death al
the Grand Hotel, New York City. II
was about dark that a telegram came
announcing that the lamented gentle
man had just died, and a few minutes
later the news had spread all vel the
city.
The deceased has resided in this
city for many years with his mother
and sisters, and was never married.
He was universally popular in all
circles, and possessing a genial dispo-
sition with engaging manners, he made
hosts of acquaintance in every social
set and among all callings. No man
was ever more generous, and his heart
and hand was at all times open to the
people Of the world without regard Ia
station, calling or sect.
For more than fifteen years MIR.
James Speed has been ticket agent
here for the Louisville & Nashville
railway, and in this place he was
honest, conscientious and always accu
rate. He was valued by the company
he served SO long second to no man
in its employ. Previously he had been
a clerk on the Belle Memphis, running
in the trade between here aud St
Louis, and he was equally popular and
efficient in that position.

several months past he has been grad.
ually wasting away and it was apparent
to all that his days we're few, but the
suddenness of his death, as before re.
marked, shocked thousands. He left
here barely ten days ago, went to sea
side points in Virginia and Maryland
and encouraging kilograms we're re.
ceived from him only three days ago
He contemplated a sea voyage, perhaps
to England during the summer, hoping
to be iuvigorated and strengthened By
such a trip. The deceased was I
native Of Louisville, KY, where man!
of his relatives now reside, and he also
has kindred in Chicago, where Mis-
Blanche, his only unmarried sister, il

The remains of Mr.. Speed will b,

action of the boilers. When told the
boilers only proposed to pay 60 cents,
and that the Democratic Convention
proposes 80 cents on the railroad debt
and a payment of a portion of the debt
in full. they are amazed that men
calling themselves Democrats could be
found who were willing to split the
party on such a point. The truth is
those boilers are doing a very large

capital.

Juveniles In Patience"
The children we're irresistibly
charming last night in the opera Of
Patience" at Leubrie's Theatsr, and
every seat was occupied, while many
stood about the aisIes and a Considera-
bic number went up stairs. 1t was not
only a large, but very fashionable and
highly %appreciative audience, and it
was a we'll deserved tribute to the
little folks, for they gave a most
delightful performance, When the
curtain rose on the twenty love-
sick maidens lying gracefully about
the stage, in aesthetic attitudes and
picturesque costumes, with the pas
toral stage setting, all skilfully ar
ranged, a most beautiful scene was
afforded, and the entlreH audience APP
peared inspired to a high pitch Of
enthusiasm, for a round of earnest
applause went forth hat resounded
far beyond the inner walls of the
building. From the opening chorus
to the close of the opera, everything
ran evenly and without interruption,
and all acted like veterans instead of
amateurs. Several Of the leading So
los and the Gobble duet from Mascot
were repeated in response to liberal
plauditS, likewise a number of the
choruses. Between the acts a cart
load, more or less, of floral
presents, representing every con.
ceivable design, we're bestowed
upon the players. Little Eugene
Rowland, the midget dragon, and the
hero Of the evening, took the lions
share. After carrying a couple Of
loads to his mother behind the scenes,
he placed a cigar shaped floral orna-
ment four feet long across his breast,
and held bouquets bigger than his
head in each hand, refusing to allow
companions to tighten him Of the
burden until the chorus was repeated
and the curtain rung down. Little
Eugene is a marvellous youth, and it
is said he not only knows the entire
dialogue Of Patience" but that at
home he frequently gives lifelike imi.
tations of B%unthorne, Grosvenor, Pa
thence and the ponderous Lady Jane,
merely for the amusement of his Lii
putian playmates. He invoked much
laughter during last nights perform
ance by his broad strides during the
Dragons march, as well as his numer-
GUS antics in other scenes. The oldest
stager in the theatrical profession
would have pronounced the perform
ance of last night an unqualified sue
cess from first to last, and every at
tendant went home highly pleased
with all they heard and saw. 1t really
seems wonderful for children so young
to act and sing with so much pre-.
cision. The opera will be repeated
for the last time this afternoon.

BE it further enacted, That Sec.

make the paragraph providing for the
taxation Of liquor dealers apply to all

The only law under which druggists
could sell liquors, free from tax, was
Code, 696, A, and 696, B, that is:
Upon the prescription Of a regular
practicing physician etc, ETC." There
fore, we must conclude that the act OF
May %, 1882, was intended To

upon prescriptions. Please see that
the law is enforced.
