DEATHS.

Capt. A. II. Perkins died about
noon, Friday, after an illness of a
few days. The cause of death was
heart disease. Mr.. Perkins was one
of our leading 7th street grocers, and
had been in the business several years.
He was a partner with II. L. Holt
for several years, last year buying
his interest and conducting the bust
ness alone thereafter. Though like
the innumerable, he had his faults,
yet he had few enemies and many
friends, as evidenced by the large
crowd who followed his remains to
their last resting place, the family
burying ground, eight miles north Of
the city. He leaves several growh
children, his wife having died a year
ago. Mack, his oldest son, will take
charge of his business.
VIM. e. Bell died at the residence
of his father, Mr.. Langley Bell, Satur-
day morning. He had been afflicted
with consumption for several years,
and had tried TO get reliefin different
climates, but he gained no strength.
He was about SO years old and had
lived in and around Hopkinsville all
his life. His funeral was preached
at the residence of his father Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, and his re-
mains were laid to rest in the city
Cemetery.

The Tortilita Mines.

The New York Star, of December
II, publishes two-page article on
the properties of the Tortilita Gold
and Silver Mining Company, giving
an exhaustive report by the eminent
English Mining Engineer, Francis d.
Taylor, who was recently sent out to-
examine the mines, in which he con-
firms the statements made by the
Company, and conclusivelY shows
that 1t is one of the greatest mining
enterprises in America. The article
also contains the testimony of Mr.. j.
II. Rittenhouse, of Scranton, Pa,
well-known mining engineerwho has
worked upon the mines, as to their
great value, and the evidence of Mr..
George e. Stone, well-known citi-
zen of Denver. who is likewise famil-
lar with them. An extract from the
annual report of the United States
Mint Bureau is also printed, which
officially states their value, and letters
are printed from some of the leading
men in America, endorsing the high
character of the management of the
Company. The article is the most
exhaustive and conclusive that was
ever printed on any mining enterprise
and establishes beyond question the
great present and prospective value
of Tortilita. In conclusion the Star
article says:
at is believed that the Tortilita
mines are to-day the best in America,
for their capitalization, and when
their value becomes known, as we be-
lieve 1t will shortly, that the stock
will sell many dollars higher than at
present" .o
A limited number of the shares are
offered at par of 81 each, and may be
bought in person or by letter from
Mr.. Joseph II Real, AZ & 48 Congress
ST., Boston, or 81 Broadway, New
York, as will be seen by an adver-
tisement elsewhere.

OBITUARY.

Pneumonia thatdreadful destroyer,
which so often marks for its prey the
young and lovely, has again laid PIE
maturelY in the grave, another vic
tim. Miss Lula Coleman, the duti-
full daughter, the atlectionate sister,
the amiable friend, and exemplary
Christian, is no more. In all her
beauty and sweetness she passed
away as the rose which the hidden
worm destroys when it has just ex :
banded to admiring view. Her
friends had hoped that she would
recover and look out upon the pure
vernal sky again; to inhale the fra
GRANGE of Springs early flowers, and
hear the melody of the feathery song
sters OF the grove, but she has gone
where Spring forever reigns, where
the skies are ever bright and the
flowers never fade. She now drinks
OF that "river which makes glad the
City of Cod" and unites with the
redeemed above in songs of praise to
Him who hath washed her ''in his
blood" and made her an heir of eter-
nal glory! To mortals it seemed
sad thing, that one so fair and bright
should fade so soon from earth, but
young as she was, she was ripe for
heaven. The mouarch of the grave
came to her, not as the king of ter
rors, but in an angels guise; as a
messenger from Heaven to release
her spirit from its earthly abode and
bear 1t 10 the skies.
o, it was glorious privilege 10
witness the last moments of the dy-
ing child of Godl The closing scenes
of her life will never be forgotten by
those who were present. Though her
voice was nearly hushed in death she
still whispered praises to Him who
was gently cutting the chords of life
and with almost her expiring breath
exhorted her weeping friends to meet
her in Heaven. Truly, "the house of
mourning in better than the house OF
mirth." Our mortal eyes shall be-
hold no more the departed friend
whose loss we now mourn; hut we
would bring her back again to earth.
The bright bow of hope spans the sa.
cred spot where beside the remains
of her brother, her own shall repose
until "the voice of the Archangel and
the trump of God" shall bid the dead
awake. She has exchanged the COM
partnership of mortals for the society
of angels; the converse Of earthly
friends for communion with "the
spirits of just men made perfect
She cannot again come to us, but we
can 60 to her. A few more days, or
years at farthest, and we, her suryiv-
ing friends, will be summoned TO try,
like her, the realities of the eter nal
world. OF may we all be prepared to
meet our beloved friend where the
ties which have been severed by the
hand Of Death shall be renewed, to
be broken no more forever. "Let me
die the death of the righteous and
let my last end be like hers.
Her Friend,
L. NJ. 9.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Nellie Free played 10 good bushes
In Cincinnati last week.
The Basye-Davis Co. play thi
week in Evansville.
A number of Hopkinsville ladie
and gentlemen are attending tn,
Booth Barrett performances at Nash
vile.
Saturday nights performance
closed the weeks engagement of the
Basye-Davis Co., at which time the
new comedy, "The Emerald Ring
written by the clever comedian, AL.
len Wightman, was presented fol-
the first time on any stage. The
largo audience was anxious to see
new play put on and were ready to
pronounce judgment upon it.
From the time the curtain went
up every motion was closely watched
but when everything moved of so
smoothly, no room was left for criti-
cism. After the first act where the
plot was laid, followed the other
three acts, each of which brought
forth rounds of applause and the
audience kept in fit OF laughter all
the time. The verdict of all was
that "The Emerald Ring" was a
success, aud Notwithstanding the
drawbacks to first performance, 1t
was the best play presented by the
company. The parts were all well
sustained, and Mr.. Wightman
can be congratulated upon his sue
cessful production of the new come
dy, which has thrilling plot, and iS
as full of fun as one can conveniently
stand at a single performance.
One Of the grandost productions
ever presented to Hopkinsvillc
audience, will be given at the Opera
House Saturday night. The Russian
Drama, Michael Strogoff, that has met
with such success in the larger cities,
will be given with all the brilliancy
and sp!cndor sttachcdto the perform
ance. The company carries car
load Of special scenery and 30 people
to properly present the play. Below
we give the opinion Of the play from
the Peoria Transcript:
I he seldom Gst has IL been the pleasure of
ed, and the pfsp Witness as fine
greeted with enthusiastic applau&
Aside from the spectacular portion
in which is fine ballet, the play
itself is strong, and the story wei
told. The characters were well taken
The time of the play is long, taking
nearly three hours, but the great
audience sat through it all, and en-
joyed it hugely. The characters OF
the two newspaper reporters were
well sustained, and sufiiced to keep
the audience In a roar when they APP
peared. The wonder in regard to the
drama is how so much of cast and
so much scenery can DO carried about
the country under one management
Many OF the audience last night were
agreeably disappointed, especially
those who had formed the idea that
this drama was chiefly of spectacu-
lar order.
