THEATRICAL.

The next attraction at the Opera
House will be "Nan's Acre Lot" next
Wednesday evening. The Courier
Journal says of it:
Mr.. Pepper and Miss Tutein pro-
duced their new play, "Nan's Acre
Lot" at the Masonic Temple Theatre
last night to an audience that must
have pleased them greatly, as it was
not only large in point of numbers,
but seemed to be well pleased. The
play is not very strong one-that is
to say, it is in the nature of a light
musical comedy, and depends for
much of its success on the renditions
of the principals, the plot is consistent,
but not complicated, and its develop
ment affords at least one climax OF
rather sensational order. The strong
est character in the piece, or, at least
the one requiring the greatest display
of dramatic art, is that of Asa Sprig-
gins. Mr.. Pepper has the role of
Billy Buffers, an ex-minstrel, in
which he does some excellent come
dy work, in addition to some good
singing. In the latter line he was
the recipient of five or six consecutive
Oncores, and made quite hit. Miss
Tutein has the companion role, that
of Nan Wellington, which she per-
forms in creditable manner.
She is good singer, but her voice is
rather light. Several of her songs
were encored. Among the remaining
characters that of Spriggins,a rascally
lawyer, taken by Mr.. William Da-
vldge, Jr., showed the best character
work observable in the piece, and the
audience testified its approval by
frequent and hearty applause. The
other characters were not sufficiently
marked to call for any great amount
of talent, but were very well handled
The play in the hands of the present
company forms pleasant evenings
entertainment.

The liquor sellers of Rhode Island
arc opposed to the repeal of the pro-
hibitory liquor law of that State.
The why's and wherefores are not
stated but ii is safe to say that it's a
tough old nut for prohibition to
handle with no sort of show in the
matter of crackingit. On the bare
face of the broad assertion in State
where there are prohibitorv laws OK
listing, that "dealers" are opposed to
any legislation in the matter tending
10 repeal such laws, II bears out the
declaration that their laws, especially
regarding the liquor traffic, are glar-
ingly defective aud open the way and
invite violations, or else mlscon-
structiou has been put upon the state
ment of the sellers. When laws are
defective and do not cover the scope
for which they were framed, passed
and intended, then they should be SC
amended as to suit the purpose fol
which they were intended, or re-
pealed, as no law which does not at
tach penalty for lis violation suill'
cent 10 cause it to be to some extent
oboyed is recognized as a law of this
land.

Notwithstanding last Summers dry
weather the tobacco raised was much
better than one would expect; thai
much of II was as good as any he has
bought for twelve years. The best ant
heaviest comes from west of thu

SOUTH KENTUCKY COLLEGE
ENTERTAINMENT.
A Brilliant Affair.

Tho entertainment given at South
Kentucky College Wednesday night,
by the Gordon Bleu and Attic Bees,
societies of the college was brilliant
affair and in every way a success
AT an early hour the crowd began TO
assemble aud by Z o'clock, the hour
for the commencement of the eXer-
ciscs, the crowd had swelled to such
proportions that fully two hundred
persons were unable to obtain seats.
After few appropriate remarks by
Prof j. E. Scobey, President of the
college, prayer by Rev. Cochran and
short speech by Miss Pauline Crum-
baugh in honor of the happy occa-
sion, warmly welcoming the friends
gathered together, the programme
consisting of charaCterizations selec-
ted from the best English and Ameri-
can authors, with music by members
of the music class, was proceeded
with and superbly rendered and well
sustained. The rendering of the
parts, Queen, Hermione, Mahala, the
Jewess and Ulrica, by Misses Win
free, Lipscomb and Lillard, deserve
more than passing mention as the
characters were eminently sustained
throughout. The decorations and
costumes were handsomely arranged
proving the superior skill of the de-
signer, and it can be said of the enter
tainment that it was the most enjoy
able affair of its kind that has trans
pired in the city for years, and the
immense crowd attending felt high
ly honored with so pleasant treat.

The bill introduced in the House
by Mr.. Blount, of Georgia, Chairman
of the Committee on Postofllces and
Postroads, provides for the reorgani-
cation of postal service and proposes
to divide the Postmasters into three
classes. The salaries of the first two
classes are to be in proportion TO the
gross receipts of the Office, and will
range from 81 800 to $4,000, with al
lowances for rent, light, fuel, etc.
This bill should receive proper con-
sideration, as il places the pay of a
postmaster upon the basis of the
amount of work done, and many
offices that are now only allowed O
small appropriation would receive
an amount equally proportional
with all other offices.

Mt. Vernon Suffers
Much Loss Of Life and Property
by the Tornado.
OTHER DAMAGE.

Mr.. VERNON, ILL.,, February 10
A few minutes before 5 o'clock Sun
day evening a tornado visited this
town. Preceded by hail, it came
from the southwest, passed in five
minutes, leaving devastation and
death in its track. Five hundred
buildings are destroyed and many
others injured. Many people were
buried under the ruins, and to add to
the horror fire broke out at several
points, and a number were roasted
alive. For a time the destruction oil
the whole town was threatened, but
aid from Centralia and Evansville
arrived, and about midnight the
fires were under control. Medical
aid also arrived from outside TO sup
plement the resident physicians. The
Supreme Courthouse is being used
as morgue.
Among the earliest buildings blown
down was the Methodist Church a
few minutes after $50 people had left
the school room. The County Court
House was totally ruined but the
officials succeeded in saving the rec
ords. A large two story brick school
house was reduced to ruins. Only
two churches remain, Catholic and
Presbyterian. The electric light plant
was wrecked and darkness added to
to the horrors, the rain continuing to
pour through the night. Toward the
morning 1t got colder and the home
less began to suffer severly. All re-
naming houses were thrown open to
these unfortunates,
Relief committees are being formed
this morning and meeting of the
City Council is being now held to de-
wise means 10 help the distressed
Financial aid will be asked from
other cities.
1t is learned this morning that the
storm did much damage after passing
over this town, which in the light of
lay is a scene ofhorrible destruction.
Residents hardly know it. The fnan-
:ial loss is estimated at from 100000
o 100000.
