THE CREOLE.
Miss Lillian Spencer and Her Company
Make a Successful Debut.

MISS Lillian spencer and Her Company
Make a Successful Debut.
When "LArticle A. was first produced i'm
Paris it was one OF the successes of its day.
Being of highly sensational character,
mounted superbly, and supported by society
actors, II could hardly be otherwise. The YER
sion OF that drama, as played by the Lillian
Spencer company in Turner hall last night,
under the title of 1.-The Creole" lost consid-
erably by translation, AS most French plays do,
and the absence of suitable scenery placed it
at disadvantage. But for all this il was
pleasing.
Miss Spencer played last night under disad-
Vantageous circumstances. She had severe
cold and was hoarse, from which cause her
lmpasSoned declamations were at times dis
cordant, and as she was fatigued by traye
there was slight deterioration of the chic for
which she is noted. But from the first to last
none could doubt that she was a meritorious
artistic. The scene with Duhamel in which she
enJons him to meet her in seven DAYS under
penalty OF exposure, and the last scene, were.
III themselves sufficient to prove this.
Mr.; 7: +. Egbert played George DuhaInel'
carefully, but he has not the calibre for a sue
ceSsful portrayal OF such a character. The
"Marselle' of Miss Kate Ten Eyck was pass
able.
OF the remainder of the characters little can
be SAID beyond that they were fairly filed
Neither the play nor the company is beyond
mediocre but it can be safely asserted that the
performance was ENJOYABLE.

The Balance of an Account Against Him
AS Quilted States Marshal.
From the National Republican,
1t is true that Colonel Ochiltree, who is the
member of Congress elect from the Galveston
district, Texas, has judgment against him of
some thousands of dollars, being the balance
OF an account against him as United States
marshal. This is explained by him as heresult
of Irregularities of subcrdinates, and the neces-
Sary expenditure Of money in troublesome
times for government account, which was Dis
allowed upon the technical objection that il
had not been authorized in advance. The
ma ter is being treated in certain newspaper s
as the uucovering Of great secret. The suit
against him was not confidential; nor was the
judgment. The subject was fully presented
before the people on both sides during the
canvass last fall, and the result was vote Of

Coal Discovered Near Laredo. Haynes

Special Dispatch TO the Evening Light.
LAREDO, TEXAS, February u Much enthu-
sasm prevails over the discovery of u good
three foot vein of coal at the Governor Hunt
mines near the city. The shaft had been sunk
100 feet and drill was employed. When at u
depth of 49, feet from the surface vein of
three feet was struck. The coal is much better
than that heretofore developed. Extra ma
chinery will at once be put TO work and the
mine worked on larger scale than heretofore.

popular confidence for Colonel Ochiltree, be
ing reversal of some q, 600 Bourbon major
ity:: No charge of dishonesty has been laid
at his door, and the discussion of it at this
time is sure to be understood as small piece
OF political persecution. The judgment is
valid. The debtor is unable now to pay. As
to the respective rights ofthe government and
the member from Galveston to the salary
which will accrue to the latter on the 9Th of
March, the Treasury Department may be
safely trusted to deal with it under the law.
1t would seem to be mere matter of bust

argument yesterday morning on a
writ of habeas corpus. The facts
are these Black was arrestsd on a
writ of capeas ad respondendum
while passing through this State L.
G. Bradford, his attorney, raised the
point before the court that as the
Legislature had repealed the law
which allowed creditor to arrest a
debtor who was a citizen Of Dele
ware upon such a writ and had not
repealed 1t as to one who is a citi
zen OF another State, that therefore
the arrest Of Black, who was a citi.
zen OF Pennsylvania, was illegal, be
cause it was contrary to article 2
section 4 of the fourteenth amend
ment ofthe constitution Of the Uni
ted States, which guarantees to ev
cry citizen of every State the priv

CAN'T on the Legislature.

Athens Banner Watchman.
The State once more breathes with
ease; the taxpayers feel like they
have lifted an old mortgage that had
hung as milestone about their necks
all the summer; the railroads are
no longer inflicted with an army of
dead-beads; the bar-rooms of Allan
ia are deserted-in fact the Georgia
Legislature has adjourned. This
body quietly breathed its last on
Wednesday evening. It's demise
was marked by no sign of regret.
There were none so poor as to do it
reverence. After wearing out the
patience of the people, cutting the
treasury, dodging every issue Of gen.
eral Importance, and characterizing
itself by disgraceful neglect of du-
ty, the members will now return to
their constituents, where they may
expect to meet the frowns and con-
demnation of all good citizens.
Never in the history Of any State
has such a protracted farce been en-
acted as the two prolonged sessions
OF this body. They not only DISCUS
ted their own people, but rendered
themselves the laughing stock of the
country. What might have been ac-
complished i'll sixty days with the
greatest ease, they CONSUMED the
greater part of a year in transacting.1
They have left a blot upon the rec,
ord Of our State, and in after years,
history viii point to the sessions of
1928 as time when the Georgia
Legislature turned business into a
carousal, and held summers car
nival at the expense Of the taxpay-
ers. We hope never to see such an
other body of so-called Law makers
disgrace our capitol. The voters
should put each member through a
crucib.e, and see if he analyses all
right. /. Return no man who voted
10. an adjourned session, in viola
Lions Of the commands of the consti-
tuition 2. Return no man who ac-
