Uncle Toms Cabin.
Denver Tribune.

Denver Tribune.
To the countless thousands who
have never seen the rare and beautiful
drama of Uncle Toms Cabin the fol-
lowing story of the plot will prove in
structive: Uncle Tom is a white man
BACKED up and wearing a very bad
wig to represent negro wool. He is
bought by a small man with big
voice who is called St. Clair. There
is little girl named Eva. who is al
legged tn be In delicate health, although
her physical appearance is robust ; she
sings sweet songs about the new Jeru-
salem, aud wears bangs. She is the
suggestions daughter of Mr.. st. Clair
and naturally enough gets masfed ON
Uncle Tom. Mr. st. Clair's wife has
something the matter with her liver,
and is consequently lugubrious sort
of a party to have around. There is
alss a Miss Ophelia, who Is Eva's
aunt. She has-or rather possesses
BACKED up white girl called Topsy.
This Topsy is as full of deviltry as an
egg is full of meat. and she also does
some bed banjo PLAYING and equally
bad singing. Dir. St. Clair tries to
take in ten bar-roOms in one night,
and is stabbed in the lumbar regions
by bad man in furious side whiskers
named Legree. Eva in the meantime
has caught cold sitting in draft and
talking about the New Jerusalem, etc. :,
with Uncle Tom. Therefore she takes
to her little chestnut crib, sees angels,
and to all intents and purposes dies.
This makes two dead people in less
than forty minutes. There is a saddle
celored lady called Eliza who tries to
cross q river, accompanied BY her son,
who happens to be little girl dressed
up in boys clothes.
The river consists of q paper mache
arrangement which is dextrously
worked to and fro with a rope. by Mr..
Morse, treasurer of the opera house.
Eliza, who is a lightning screamer
when she lets herself out, is pursued
by several men in six bit wigs and two
Siberian bioOdhounds, imported at a
great expense from Youngstown, O..
and Yonkers, N. Y. In the trouble
which ensues, two Of the men in cheap
wigs are p esumably killed and Eliza
and her little girl in boys clothes get
away. This makes a total of four
dead people in sixty minutes. When
Mr.. st. Clair's estate is settled up, his
negroes are sold, Uncle Tom among
others, to Mr.. Iegree, the hardened
reptile with furious side whiskers.
THE Mr.. Legree takes Uncle Tom off
to his farm and in a moment of de-
plOrable anger knocks him down and
orders him licked by two husky color
ed men who rush in and drag Tom
across the stage. Uncle Tom con-
cIudes to die which he does in good
shape. He sees Eva up among the
flies Of the stage scenery, quotes some
scripture and then stiffens out. This
makes FIVE corpses behind the curtain.

THE FATE OF A FAST YOUNG NAN

THE following verses were written by
young man confined in the Illinois state
prison, and the same sad story is told by
hundreds of young men whose downfall is
traceable to the evil practices described
below :
It's curious, isn't it Billy,
The change twelve months may bring !;
Last year | was in Saratoga,
AS happy and rich as king;
Twas raking in pools on the races,
And feeling the walters with "Ten,"
And slipping mint juleps by twilight.
And to-day | am here in the 'pen"
"What led me to do it?" What always
Leads men to destruction and crime?
The prodigal son. whom you've read of,
Has altered somewhat in his time;
He spends his substance as freely
As the Biblical fellow of old,
But when it is gone, he iancies
The husks will turn into gold.
Champagne, box at the opera,
High steps while the fortune is flush,
The passionate kisses of women
Whose cheeks have forgotten to blush !;
The old, old story, Billy,
Of pleasure that ends in tears,
The froth that foams for an hour,
The dregs that are tasted for years.
Last night as sat here and pondered
On the end of my evil WAYS,
There arese like phantom before me
The vision of boyhood's davs;.
/ thought of my old home, Billy,
The school house that stood on the hill,
The brook that flowed thro' the meadow,
can cen hear its music still.
Again / thought of my mother,
OF the mother who taught me to pray;
Whose love was precious treasure
That heedlessly cast away;
] saw again in nv visions
The fresh-lipped, careless boy,
To whom the future was boundless,
And the world but q mighty toy.
] thou yht of all this as sat here,
OF my ruined and wasted life,
And the pangs of remorse were bitter,
They pierced my heart like knife;
1t takes some courage, Billy,
To laugh in the face of fate,
When the yesrning ambitions of manhood
Are blasted at twenty-eigEt.

CURRENT NOTES.

The peculiar foreign policy exhibited in
Blaine's dispatches was considered as the
policy of the minister and not as the policyof
the president. They are pervaded throughout
by the tone and sentiment of the splumed
knight. Chicago Times.
Mr.. Blaine's craftsmanship is of the Bea-
consiield pattern. Beaconsfeld diverted the
attention of England from the troublesome
questions of internal reform which Gladstone
had. been urgng.-Spring6eld Republican,
Rep.
The president, the heads of the great de-
partments, and especially the judges of the
supreme court, earn every dollar they receive.
We would much rather see our officials of
great rank paid larger salaries than to have
their present salaries reduced.-New York
Herald.
There were 4o,o37 deaths from smallpox in

A Heavy Burglary.

The residence Of Mr.. Sam. Schram, on
South Flores street, was entered lass night by
burglars, and articles to the value OF $1,000
taken.
The burglars are evidently bold and expert.
They used ladder, and entered the house by
an upper window. Mr.. Schrams child had
been very sick for several days, but last night
was better, and the exhausted family slept very
soundly, so that they did not hear the bur-
glars, who made clean, sweep of valuables
in their bed room, taking two valuable
watches and lot of valuable diamond Jewell
ry. The jewel cases were found this morning
thrown over into the premises of Judge De-
vine. The same parties were trying to get
into Mr.. Berg's house next door, but we're
alarmed and left. 1t is evident that this is the
work of professional burglars, and the enter
ing of several houses of late is accounted for.

GALVESTON. February {.

NhLNrSioN, L eDIudt }, 1907.
Editor EVENING LIGHT, San Antonio. e
SIR-Having read your article in regard to
the deep water question In Galveston, take
pleasure in sending you some few items of in
terest, which might throw some more light on
said question. Colonel Mansfield stated he
would be able to get deep water at the entrance
to the bay with an appropriation of about
ST., ooo, 900, but it would cost annually half
million to keep deep enough the channel in the
bay along the wha,ves for large vessels, asthe
channel will always be washed full with sand
as long as the channel will be shallow. There
fore it seems to me Colonel Mansfield is only
patronizing himself by going to Washington to
bring said question in motion.
Another worthy member of the deep water
committee is Mr.. julius Ruhge He is Ger
man consul, and at the same time general
agent of the North German Lloyd in Bremen
for Texas. In last capacity he was ordered by
the Lloyd company to pay in full for clothes
and other things of German immigrants who
had losses by the negligence of the German
steamer ''Hohenzollern' on their voyage from
Bremen Iafen to this port, in the month of
October, but the firm Kaufman & Runge de-
Quoted, as they stated, IS per cent. front the
property OF the poor people, to have pay
ment of the expenses Of the firm. This deed
is no real swindle in the sense of our criminal
laws, but it proves how rich people are ena-
bled to build palaces from the sweat and hard
earnings of the pGor, and by what means the
immigration to this state will be stopped.
Still, Mr.. Runge is a rich man, and therefore
a worthy representative of the Galvestonians,
sent to the members of congress.
Respectfully, o. MUNDELINs.

Street Improvement.

The proposition to make loan Of $780,
COO to improve our streets and squares, will
awaken discussion upon this important matter.
No question of municipal government bears
the same importance as this, and it should be
approached with great caution. We have
paid out quite enough for experience. We
believe it would be safer plan to discuss the
pre!iminaries before borrowing the money, or
at least to adopt some plan Of operation.
First, the Office of city engineer should be
separated from city surveyor, and a competent
city engineer employed, some man with ex-
perience, if possible. The next thing would
be to decide upon the streets that should be
paved; then the kind of pavement to be Sc
lected, and the cost the question of wooden
pavements, of artificial blocks, etc. Macada-
MIXING should only be thought of for the
suburban districts. We have the best OF
macadam material right at hand, and the
city could do this work more efectually than
under any contract system, as it needs to be
kept in continual repair.
The city should have its own carts, and a
system Of street improvement could be easily
organized upon its present resources. AT least
20 carts and four street sprinklers should be
owned and run by the city. The present
macadamized streets should be divided into
sections and placed under system Of contin-
ual inspection and repair, and not left to 60 to
ruin as at present. Now there is no system
of street work at all.
TO satisfy all parts of the city the work and
money should be equally distributed and the
benefits of the public expenditure made to
reach all parts of the city, and not left to the
within of the mayor or the street commissioner.
1t sounds big to propose to borrowing
$4,000, but it sounds better to provide for
using $4,000, which the city can handle this
year for street work with system and discre-
ton.
