TIE delegates composing the Mississippi
river conven ton were splendid representa-.
tiyes of the highest type of American BUSH
ness men. There was no nonsense about
them. They knew precisely what they were
hero for. and made their views and wishes
known with a degree Of precision and intelli-
gence that can hardly fail to exercise favor
able influence toward the accomplishment of
their purposes. We have such avast country
that local prejudices and Misunderstanding
are inevitable. But We are reasoning pco-
plo, open to conviction, and it only needs the
gathering Of such men and such u clear pre-
sentation of the conditions and needs of any
section of our country as that which char
acterized tho convention just closed
to insure q respectful consideration to
all Just claims. Congress has in the past APP
proprlatsd vast sums for the improvement of
the seacoast harbors and rivers without IN y

south. That the latter sections have vast

Auber's somewhat time-worn opera of

Ideals at Ford's last evening with
raro ability and fidelity that lent

position Mr.. Karl, in the title role, was
most acceptable bandit and sang the
music ia his best voice. The song
"On Yonder Rock " was particularly
we'll rendered, and the barcarolle OF
"The Gondolier" was given with tender
expression that went far to excuse the infat-
uatiou of Lady Allcash for tho gentlemanly
brigand In tho second act Mr.. Karl sub
stituted Abts Good Night" for the serenade
of young Agnes" and sang it so well that

he always presents himself 10 tho public.
While tho usual method is to burlesque this
character into utter imbecility it was
pleasure last night to see it made piece Of
elegant comedy in tho hands Of an accom-
plished and capable artist Miss Ulmar
supplemented this with the best Lady ALI
cash, both in voice and stage business. that It
has been tho fortune OF Washington playgoers
to behold for many day. The Lorenzo Of
Mr. Morsell gave him but fow opportunities,
but in the third act he sung Forever Thine"
with most perfect pathos and expression. In
the light of tho success which this gem
tleman has achieved Washington may we'll
feel proud of her representative on the
lyric STAGE Miss Mario stones in
depreciation of the role of Zerlina
was perfect in every respect. Her SOLO "oh,
Hour of JOY" was rendered with brilliancy
and purity. and was met with an imperative
demand for its repetition. The remainder Of
the bedroom scene was presented by Miss
Stone with artistic refinement, both
in action and music. The q Beppo
Of Mr.. Whitney and tho Giaeomo
ofMr. rockingham deserve especial mention.
The solo, "The Robbers" interpolated by
the former, was received enthusiastically, and
the make up Of the latter was most able
conception Of the doubledyed villain. In
tho falsetto duet, whore the two bandits imi-
tate tho self.congratulations of Icrlina upon
her woll-shaped figure the audience were
wild with morrimont ut the drol picture
presented by these two, and It was not until
the duet had been thrice repeated that the
act was permitted toproceed.
Much of the success of the Ideals is duo
to their musical director, Mr.. S. l.. Studley,
whose decided abilities and conscientious
work have resulted in placing this organiza;
tion far in advance Of any other that has at
tempted to present English opera in this
country within tho past decade.
Patience " will be sung at the matinee
this afternoon with Miss Ulmar in the title
role Miss Phillips as Lady Jane, Barnabee

MAKING LOVE IN THE CHOIR.
She sat on the steps Of the organ loft
Just after the second hymn;
And through nave and choir to the cool gray splra
The sound rose faint and dim,
As they settled themselves IN the church below
For the sermon that followed next,
And seated myself Mt the altos side
As the parson took his text.
I remarked the tender flush OF her cheek,
And the CLEAN OF her golden hair,
Tho snowy 'kerchief round her neck,
And her throat all white and bare,
A throat so white that indeed 1t might
An anohorte entice;
And family heard the parsons word
As he preached about paradise.
My arm stole gently round her waist
Untll our fingers met
And the futtering blush made the tender flush
OF her cheek grow deeper yet.
Snowy aud fair the hand beneath,
And brown the palm above,
And the brown closed soflly over the white
As the parson spoke Of love.
All, who Is wise, when deep blue eyes
Meet his and look coyly DOWN.
Who would but drink, nor care to think
OF cnvys jealous frown?
Twas but to bend iii felt her breath
Grow warm on my cheek, and then
Ny lips just soflly touched her own
As the parson said amen. Puck.

plicity.

If there is one thing more than an
other that Maiden has been deficient
in for some time, it is good, reliable
officers of the law, men of courage and
resolution. True, Mr.. Fletcher has
proven a very worthy officer and given
satisfaction to the people, but he has
been the only peace officer in our
midst for nearly year, and when there
has been greatest need of his services
at home, it usually happened that he
was on TRIP to the county seat with a
prisoner, or off on other duty in con-
nection with his office. The disgrace
full affair of Sunday night is ample
evidence of the need of two cOnstables
in Maiden and it is their duty to make
arrests without fear or favOritism when
the peace is being disturbed. The par
ticipants in fights and "gun plays
should be made to feel the majesty of
the law, and rows checked in their
incipiency if possible. Ifgames cannot
be played without blood and thunder,
they had better be suppressed entirely.
1t is hoped at the approaching election
the people will cast their ballots for
officers that will see to it that there
will not be many repetitions of the
scenes of Sunday night. Once a year
will do.

Hanna and orthwalt Escape.

Joseph w. Hanna, indicted for
murder, and George Outhwait indicted
for embezzlement, escaped from the
County Jail at White Sulphur Springs,
on the night of October 9th. A reward
Of $500 has been offered for the cap
ture and return of the prisoners and
$500 for the identification of the party
or parties who assisted in their escape.
This is the second time within year
that criminals have made their escape
from our county Jail and it is not very
creditable to the officers in charge.
They are totally unfit for the trust
placed upon then, and the general
impression is that this delivery was oi
such character as to warrant search
ing investigation into the causes tha
lead to their escape. 1t was eithel
from rank stupidity or bold faced du
