We clip from the Louisville (Ky.)
Post the following highly compliment
tary mention of the seven Mcdonald
brothers, of that State, who are also
brothers of the estimable wife of
Judge r. G. Green of the West Vir-
ginia Supreme Court of Appeals, res
ident here. The above mentioned are
eight of the sixteen children of the
late Col. A. W. Mcdonald, of Win
chester, Va. Maj. A. w. Mcdonald,
of Berryville, Va, is the eldest of the
family, and Col. Marshall Mcdonald,
U. S. Fish Commissioner, is another
brother. Says the Post:
"Who do you think are the best
citizens of L~ouisville?" 81 don't
know I'm sure" Well, I'll tell you.
The McDonalds are. Other public
spirited men will stand off and use
their good influence at a distance
The McDonalds come to close quar-
tiers. They take an interest in public
affairs which but few other citizens
take, and they are always on the side
of the good against the bad. They
are workers IN the best and fullest
sense of the word. Their time and
money and courage can always be
commanded by a good cause, and
they are as ready to fight against OPP
preston and wrong at the polls as
they are on the battlefield. Their
ancestry is Scotch. They spring
from the old Mcdonald clan, and the
stock has been known for four or five
centuries as n sinewy, r~esolute, cour-
ageous element, strong both mentally
and physically, with a turn for study,
thorough and untiring in everything
they undertake, whether in engineer
ing, school teaching or electing the
best men to office. One hundred
such men in Louisville would break
every ring and crush every job that
shows it's head. There are, I believe,
seven brothers of them in Kentucky,
and wherever you find one you find
i rare combination of moral, intellec-
tual force that makes its mark"

10 the small boy and many of larger
growth, his performance is as fascinating
as dime novel-indeed, more SO. for #
brings the wild western life before them
with greater vividness than their fayorite
literary food-and, consequently, he al
ways plays to overwhelmingly large
houses.
"The Prairie Waif," his new play. is
from the pen of j. A. Stevens, who wrote
The Unknown" Itgoes without saving
that 1t is strong and enduring piece OF
dramatic workmanship, and is much bet
ter than the average border drama. both
in action and dialogue His leading lady
is Miss Lydia Denier, who does good
work as the Prairie Wait. In the
fourth act the Indians under the control
OF Pawnee Billy" the boy chief, indulge
in characteristic dances.

eessful deputy in his letter to Marshal
Ireland, reciting the affair, INDUCES in a
little genuine and justifiable gloating.
The letter is dated Beaver, the DIST ult'.
and contains the following amusing de.
scription of the circumstances of the
capture:
II found Watson this morning at his
house, slowed comfortably under two
nlce-looking women and three children.
He was lying under the mattress when I
overhauled him. 1t certainly was n
mere chance that | looked there. and
what prompted me to do SO was the ap-
pearance of an unusual elevation in the
centre of fine bed.''
