them. But this meeting will not be held
until after the coming 4th, as Mr.. Linegar
is billed for an address,at Jacksonville, Ills,
on that day, and the public will be better
prepared to listen to and thoroughly digest
discussion upon subject of such vital
Importance after the festivities attending
the celebration of the Fourth shall have
passed.
Several prominent colored people OF
the city have formed stock company AID
started grocery store near the corner OF
Nineteenth street and Washington avenue
They have very fair stock of goods and
are doing good business already, though
the store has been open only about two
weeks. THIS manifestation of independence
and enterprise is communicable.
Yesterday forenoon the body of negro
was picked out the Ohio river near shore
below the warehouses. 1t is believed to be
the body of the negro who jumped from
the steamer Sherlock aud who, in fight
on the steamer, cut another negro now
lying at the marine hospital, very badly,
but, it seems, no, fatally as was as first be-
lieved.
If the Ideal Leaguers" will 60 10 Pa
ducah and produce Engaged" there as well
as they did here, they will make big hit.
| The Paducahans, we are sure, would give
them fully as good reception as the
amateurs from that city received here. We
would urge upon the ideals" an earnest
consideration of this proposition. Several
hundred of their Cairo friends would ac'
company them and they would have de-
lightful time.
The warm weather of last week sent
the people in crowds to Dixon Springs. A
private letter says "the arrival are ten
day: forty took dinner to-day. People are
here from Evansville, Golconda and Padu-
cab, and if the hot weather continues, more
people want to come this week than can
find room, but they come and 60, and by
that means new corners are taken care Of.
Some are here from Creal Springs who
could not stand the lack of shade and
scenery, and spring water drawn from

Limited space in yesterdays BULLETIN
made it necessary to condense the COM
ments upon some of those who took part
in the play Tuesday night. The manner in
which Mr.. Korsmeyer enacted the part OF
"Mr, Symperson" particularly deserved
more extended eulogy. Mr.. Korsmeyer had
one of the leading parts and the manner in
which he sustained it would have left no
doubt in the minds of those who didn't
know better, but that he was "a profes
sional." Always calm and serious, as be-
came him in the character he portrayed, he
delivered what he had to say fluently, in q
strong voice, well managed in respect to
cadences and with marked dramatic effect.
"A stranger named c. Gallagher WAS
very wroth yesterday at what according to
his version, WAS an outrageous attack upon
him by the bar keeper of an uptown sa-
loon. He swore out warrant with an en-
phauc oath and proceeded with the officer
to serve it and bring the guilty party be-
fore Magistrate Comngs for trial. The
trial was had aud the testimony, even to that

In the limited time we had for crticlz-
ing Engaged" we could not give the sing
ing of Miss Adella Gordon such notice as
it deserved. Her song was really the feature
of the evening. Although she was known
to be one OF the best singers in Cairo, the
power and richness OF her voice as develop
ed on the Opera House stage WAS surprise
to her friends and the audience. 1t filled
the house with melody without any APP
parent effort of the singer. Every verse and
almost every turn Of the song, was applaud
ed to the echo. For an encore Miss Gordon
sang beautiful little waltz song, "Peek-a-
Boo, that served nicely as an echo to the
powerful song that preceded it. 1t is suffi-
clent for US to say, and the audience will
be with US, that Miss Adella scored q
triumph in Engaged" both IN acting and
singing, that she and her friends can
always remember with pride and pleasure
as being full and complete.
Last Monday a man living at Cane
Ridge, about seven miles above the city,
came down and demanded OF Magistrate
