ACHAT WITH MRS. sCOTTsIDDoNs.
what She says ond How She LOOKS
Her Programme.

Mrs. Scott Siddons, the widely-known
reader who will give an entertainment
at the Young Mems Christian Associa
ton Hall tomorrow night, was seen by
Dispatch reporter at the Exchange yes
terday evening. AS he entered her room
japanese pug, her pet, ran ahead of
his mistress and jumped up to be petted.
Mrs. SiddOns has only recently come
back to America from her native cOun-
try, England, and since her return she
found, she said, the taste of the Ameri-
can people for light, trashy amusement
to be increasing. She deprecated the
aping of foreign habits and customs, and
declared that the people would be more
admirable in their native manners.
Mrs. Scott Siddons still retains the
handsome looks she wore on the stage
years ago. Her large, soft brown eyes
have not dimmed nor her cheek faded,
and she looks hardly more than forty.
An abundance of beautiful dark brown
hair, arranged in careful disorder, covers
her head, and her entire face denotes
strong character and force. In CONVEX
sation she is pleasant and interesting and
uses clear cut, plain English words,
though from her manner and
gestures one would naturally suppose
her to be French. She wore black
silk dress with front made of some red
material, and a bracelet of different
style encircled either wrist. From her
neck was suspended a small velvet band
studded with oxidized silver figures and
at the end silver heart.
These are the selections Mrs. Scott.
Siddons will read tomorrow night,
though she says she reserves the right
to substitute some others for the follow
ing:

The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-05-26

B. F. Williford, Shelby county alliance:
DIR. @. M. Stewart, Shelby; Il, M. Ed
wards, Shelby; ]. A. Shoaf, Tpton county
alliance; +. J. Craddock, linton county.
Mr.. w. T. Bond Of the Shelby county
alliance, was on the alert to guard against
intrusion by outsiders. This gentleman
beheld newspaper man in the assemblage
taking notes and arose to point OF order
Said he: 'NIr. Chairman--I move that the
sergeant-at-arms be instructed to eject
all outsiders, and especially newspaper
reporters. 1t is the custom to conduct our
meetings with closed doors" The point
Of order was we'll taken. The reporter
could not Rebuilt with valid demurrer,
and stood not upon the order Of his going,
but got. III,
Mr.. ]. G. Moore presided over the meet
ing and Mr.. ], w. Lynn served as secre-
tary. The address of the chairman was,
in substance, as follows:
"We are not opposed to anybody, or
trying to break anybody down, but our
sole idea is self-benefit and seli-protection.
We don't blame the merchant for looking
to his own interest; it is human nature,
and, till tho millennium comes and the
lion and the lamb lie down together,
nothing else could in reason be expected.
An illustration OF how the farmers inter-
ests have been imposed upon is afforded
in the fact that now Sl.25 commission is
charged for selling our cotton, where
formerly IL was but 80 cents, There Is q
great cry about our hurting the merchants,
but haven't heard OF one yet who has
quit business on account of us, and in
Texas our organization has been in ex-
istence eleven years. AS far as a city like
Memphis is concerned, there can be moth
