AN IRONCLAD PLAYHOUSE.

From the Chicago Mail.
The new Chicago opera house, il il were

like a nurserYman's timber lot with the
timber all dried up. There was no sfor-
esp' Of sticks when the house was build
Ing. There isn't any timber about it. 1t
is made of iron and brick, and tile and
mortar, very comforting materials in the
estimation OF nervous theatre-gOrrs. The
only wood used is in the floor. The build.
ing was inspected by Fire Marshal Swenie
and superintendent Kirkland, with the
leading officers OF their department, some
time ago. They had no recommendation
10 make In order To render the structure
more entirely fireproOf than il is.
Twenty-Five hundred people can COM
fOrtably watch the stage and all be seated.
The balcony and gallery are thrown out a
great way over the main floor, bringing
everybody very close up TO the stage. "A
great house for comedy" said Mr.. Hen
dersOn. as he stood on the stage with the
writer and pointed out now near the
farthest-oh seats looked. The light, which
will drop on peoples heads in the au-
ditorium, will be filtered through great
covering of stained glass which surrounds
the concentrated electric lights In the
dome. "The light will be softened as IL
falls, you see," said Mr.. Henderson, in a
tone which plainly implied that an elec-
.ric ray, which hadn't been first carefully
filtered and treated, wasn't the proper
thing TO drop on the bare heads Of an
audience.
Neither Mile. Nevada nor any other

SO long as peace and tranquility reigns
there is charm about pioneer life that is
unapprOachable. The country stretches
away on every hand, with many an un-
tried path, and many an uneXplOred nook
and corner of woods. Life is full of sur
prises. The freshness and novelty, the
new and unexpected, with the fanciful
anticipation, all enter into the makeup of
the backwoOdsman. What wonder that
the humdrum, routine. matter-of-iact way
OF doing things, for which the sturdy farm
er, who comes close at his heels. is noted,
should soon pail upon his fastldOus appe-
tite. What wonder that he complains OF
sutfOcatiOn and lack of elbow room in case
be is compelled 70 remain over night in
town. To his sharpened faculties the
breeze is tainted with vicious scents, and
he misses the sweet scent of wild flowers
and virgin soil. A thousand discordant
sounds tall with a shock on the sensitive
ear accustomed to the songs OF birds and
the music of ripping waters, with the
wild accompaniment of the hunters horn
and the mellow notes of the deep baying
hounds.
some 20 to 80 settlers had come to
Americus up to the year 1896, and a log
school house had been erected about
half mile east Of the cane-brakes OF Muck
alec. The site is now lost among the
many houses and gardens that overlook
Muckalee flats. Men who are now staid,
sober and solid citizens were little boys
then. B. M. Wheeler was the first child
born in Sumter county, and K. +. Cobb
the first born IN Americus.
Green Ragan is another Old-timer. He
was a schoOlboy when the Indians burned
Roanoke, in '36. The alarm spread like
wild fire. The panic-strieken habitants
of the western counties gathered at
Lumpkin. and further eastward they
flocked 10 AmerIcus, the militia with
them, resolved to prevent the destruction
Of the town.
Thos. L. Sullivan was an early settler
and leading man. His family fled, in
the temporary absence OF the father, and
in the gloomy creek swamp, near what is
now the suburb of Lection, the atfrghted
family hid themselves. Instead of re-
naming in darkness, so that the proving
savages could not find them, they built
huge bOnhres and gathered around them,
and by these the father discovered them
on his return. The alarm soon passed OF,
the people returned to their homes, and
the schoolmaster was again installed.

From the L1aaDkiz1 lndeDeAdeilbs
Our readers will remember the details
of shocking murder which was COM
mitted at the camp OF Perkins Brothers
early in the spring. on the line
Of the Americus, Preston and Lumpkin
Railroad, when negro man was
Killed and his remains burned In a shanty.
Al the April term of our Superior Court
a negro bOy, named Simon Prince, was put
upon trial for murder, but for want OF
sufficient evidence 10 prove his guilt he
was acquitted. 1t as believed by great
many, however, that Simon Prince was
the murderer. Last week In Webster
county Simon lay upon his death bed,
and as be felt the shadows OF death
drawing closer around him, his mind
reverted to the midnight scene above saw
yer's mill. The ghastly victim lay
stretched upon the ground and ne could
see the burning timbers Of the shanty fall
upon his upturned face. The sick man
shrank from the awful spectacle and IN
agOnized tones cried out: 81 have killed
him once, keep him on, keep him oh.'
His death is said 10 have been an awful
one. and AZ his end drew near the remem-
brance Of his fearful crime become 40
fixed upon him 9,- eyes seem 70
start from their ssets as they Razed
upon the last vhtu scene Of the murder,
lighted up by the htful flashes OF the
burning timbers as they fell upon his un-
fortunate victim.

A pretty little woman made repeated
attempts o see w. H. Lennox Maxwell,
the accused st. Louis murderer, while he
was here, but the authorities, thinking it
piece of idle curiosity, refused her the
Interview. She was persistent, however,
and after the prisoner had taken his de-
parture for the East she came to the
prison again, and expressed the deepest
sorrow at having missed him. The woman
is about feet inches in height. having
pure olive complexion and regulhr fea-
lures, with pretty mouth and splendid
teeth. Her habit was a rich silk dI ess
with handsome velvet cloak and a
small French beaded bonnet. In fact, a
prison keeper pronounced her a ''pet te
darling" The anxiety of the woman at
tracted some attention, and reporter ac-
cOsted her.
''Do you know MAXWELL" was asked.
"Do l know himP' she exclaimed. II
should think so. Pm the mother of his
child"
Assuming that the woman was a crank,
her name was asked, to which she replied !:
"a wife is very likely to bear the name of
her husband, is she nOtY'
"Tben you are his wifeY
"By the laws Of our country l am, was
the answer.
"What country do you refer top
"TO Roumania, where we were both
born"
"Being a native of Roumania, how
does Maxwell get the name he now
bearsY'
81 will never tell you that. Perhaps his
nativity accounts for the unexplainable

the woman, with a smile.

Early Schools of sumter.


The children who now throng the streets

teachers from the latest improved text

As many acres as il contained,

Now, how many acres, good or bad,
