Katie Putnam Last Night.

Fry's opera house was well filled last
night to witness Miss Katie Putnams
rendition Of Lena, the Madcap. To say
the piece was we'll rendered and thor
oughiy enjoyed is putting the matter in
a mild form. Miss Putnam is master
of the piece, and we doubt if she ever
fails to meet with an enthusiastic greet
ing wherever she appears. Her acting is
as ray of sunshine beaming through
clouds lined with silver and gold, and as
pure from faint or stain rs the snowdrift
is from the contamination of the vulgar.
Her support is good. We mention par
ticularly Mr.. Delvin, who sustained his
character insadmirable style. AS pun
ster he is a success, and his hearers
dewdrop on all occasions. All things
considered-thes stage in particular-the
play Of Lena, the Madcap was well rem
dered. Tonight Miss Putnam and her
excellent company will present Little
Barefoot, in which Miss Putnam will APP
pear as Amry, introducing several of her
popular songs. The company deserve
to be literally patronized.

Tourists' and Shippers.

This line Of steamers, which has bee,
plying between Jacksonville and Sarr
ford, is closing out, it is given out. en-
account of lack Of business. The com
pletion of the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West railway to Sanford had much
to do with the taking off of the steamers
OF the Tourists and Shippers line. as the
time between Jacksonville and Sanford
will be about four and one-half hours,
much less than can be made by steamer.
The Peoples line and the DeBaya- Baya
line are now the only competitors on the
river, and no doubt their steamers will
be run at good profit.

Illustrated Lectures.

The illustrated lecture on Jerusalem,
given in the Baptist church on Sunday
night by the pastor was enjoyed by a
full house. The audience showed their
appreciation by giving their undivided
attention and encouraging collection
at the close of the services. The Rev.
Place must feel encouraged to continue
these lectures, and as they are highly in
structivs and impressive, we certainly
can but wish that he might do so.

Red Cloud, . Sioux Chief, believes
that it is better to get living out OF
ths white people than to quarrel with
them. He does not favor schools for
the Indian children or tho adoption Of
any ways Of civilized life, Hfor so long
rs the Great Father knows that we
cannot earn our own living he will give
us rations and blankets, but II he
thinks we know how to take care OF
ourselves we shall get nothing more
from Him. Acting on this principle
Red Cloud complained Of tho farmer
sent to tesch his people agriculture
Our farmer is not OF the right kind;
be expects warriors to work. What
We want is white men to plant our
corn, hoe it, harvest it and put itinto
the barns which they will build for us.
Warriors don't work.

Robbed Of Thirty Thousand.

Thirty thousand dollars in cash dissap.
peared from safe OF the Adams Express
company two weeks ago. Ralph Pratt, u
clerk in tho Philadelphia office OF the com.
pany, was arrested. On Thursday, the
18th inst, Pratt and another clerk named
Heath went to the Pennsylvania railroad
office to obtain money which the company
sends monthly to Shamaker, Pa, to pay the
hands employed by the Mineral Mining
company. The amount was S32, 60s OF
which $3, 600 was silver in bags. The en-
tire amount was taken safely to the Adams
Express company's Office and was regular
ly waybilled checked off and placed in one
OF the small iron safes used by the com.
pany. The safe left the Office OF the com
pany bearing the many seals which the
system demands to prevent yaluables
from being stolen, and the seals replaced
along the route. When the sale arrived at
Shamaker the only money it contained
was the So, 600 in silver. Clark Pratt was
the only interested party whose explana-
tion was not satisfactory.

the devastated territory there are 3s7
horses, 222 cows, and 95 oxen. There are

sioners say that thers were 1873 acres
OF crops destroyed. Tho force of the storm

chickens that were exposed were killed,
and couple OF calves perished. The great
force with which the great hail stones de-
scended may be imagined when it is known
that one OF them broke through the gall
vanized iron ball on the spire OF church
at Argyle.
