The Cincinnati Times Star Of a late
date has the following concerning the en-
tertainment which is to be given here
Friday evening; The Peoples Theatre
was crowded last night on the occasion of
the opening performance of "Alrjn Jos
In by Charles Davis and company. The
play is as familiar to theatre goers as any
IN the stage, and Mr.. Davis as Uncle
Alvin is recognized as the mimitable ex-
ponent of that eccentric character that it
is unnecessary to say moro than that the
audience was highly satisfied with the
performance and was generous with ap-
plause. Mr.. Davis company is a very
fair one, and his orchestra is n of the
best travelling musical organizations that
has been heard here for some time, the
s%oloists being encored time and again.
The diamonds we're dazzling in their
brightness, and altogether the perform
ance was a very pleasant M Again to-
night.

Hm IL a Skating Rink. the last of
the jolly absurdities, was presented in this
city to a good house last night and scored
a palpable hit. There we're some rough
edges to the piece caused by the introduc-
ton of new people in the cast, but there
was fun enough. The performances of
an amateur on skates, by an artist in skat.
ING, were simply excruciating; the song
and dance specially on skates was a de-
lightful feature, and the comedy business
throughout was very funny. The music
was new and catchy, and the show is alto

the pieces which have made him famous,
but he got out of it all there was in it.

GENERAL GENTS BEARING.

"Did you meet General Grant or
that occasion?"
"Oh, yes" was General Gordon's re-
ply, as he stretched his arms out
over the back Of the setteeupon which
he was sitting. II was very much
impressed with the modesty and un.
pretending character of the man. lie
wore no uniform except the blue
blouse, overcoat and breeches-not
even a sword to betokcn his rank
His manner was most gracious and
courteous. Not word escaped him
that did not give evidence OF his pur-
pose OF treating the defeated confed-
crates with every mark Of respect and
consideration. Indeed, this spirit
seemed to actuate all the federal Off
GERS with one exception. They made
constant reference to the battles in
which the confederates had been vic
torious, and avoided those in which
the federals had been successful.
with all their courtesy, however,
and all their kindness, the trial to the
officers and the men was one of the
greatest through which brave army
has ever had to pass. Men kissed
their arms as they stacked them to be
delivered up. Many color-bearers
wept bitterly as they folded their bat
tle-fags, and, indeed, there was scarce
ly a dry eye when the realization camo
upon them that it was all OVER at
lonta Constitution.

IL cannot be dunied that the last en-
actment 10y the legislature looking 20
the enforcement OF tho prohibitory
amendment is creating CONSERVATION in
Kansas. In nearly every town in the
state the open saloons have been closed
AMI the old back door, garnet and cellar
system substituted. And nothing in
tie cause Of true temperance has been
gained. AsbetteT Illustrating this view
the following from the Topeka Com
mOnwcalth is interesting.
1T cannot be denied that since the
adoption Of the prohibitory amendment
temperance work TO a great extent has
ceased IN Kansas. As the proof Of this,
We would point TO the fact that the or
ganization OF Good Templars. once i'm
such flourishing condition, has about
ceased TO exist i'm this state. We think
IL has been two years or more since a
state convention of this order has been
held i'm Kansas. Once n lodge was TO
be found in almost every town of any
size i'm this state. More than One-half
of these lodges, We are informed, have
been abandoned. In other lines of tenn
perance work il is the same. Once the
old-fashiOned temperance meeting, with
the pledge circulated at the close, was a
common thing in all communities. Not
one Of these temperance meetings,
which were always participated in by
the best citizens i'm every community,
and were potent for good, is now held
where n dozen used to be held in Kan
sas. As we have said, it is all aban-
doned. The legal duel has taken its
place. The scene of activity is changed
from the temperance work so happily
done in the past in the home, in the
place of worship, and in the lecture
hall, TO the court room, TO the NOISY
talk of attorneys, and the slow process
of the courts, with the saloons in our
cities frequently running and prosper
ing during all this costly and unprolita-
be litigation. That the desired end.
namely, the sobriety of the citizen and
the prosperity of the community, has
been accomplished through prohibitory
legislation, we think few prohibitionists
will assert"
And this from the Wichita Eagle:
The attention of the city and county
attorney, under the new prohibition
law, is called to the fact that the liquor
traffic has already been transferred quite
largely 10 a certain class of houses
nameleSs here nevermore. II is sold by
the bottle and To boys who lack years of
attaining their majority. This is
worse than holes, cellars, garrets, club
rooms and open saloons all combined.
and no argument is necessary, we hope.
To convince anyone that il is worse.
Aud lastly, this from the Junction
City Union:
I'VE see notice i'm one Of the Law
renee papers that druggist Lees SAYS
that go students will be added TO the
State University within 4 year rs a re-
suit Of the pharmaceutical bill. The
demand for bar-keepers will be so great
that we fear many foreigners will usurp
the places before we can manufacture
oar own. II was wise foresight. for
toe University, after passing the first
section of the prohibitary law, that

gists' to graduate. Mixing drinks is a
