Change.

Change. The morn was fair and promised true, A day of sun in summer land; And love was fond, and love was new, With all of bliss it could commands; Then, sweet, promised unto you My love should true and steadfast stand. The noon sun shone with fervid heat Upon the land, upon the sea; And you were by my side, my sweet, But seemed not quite the same to be, For you had changed-and it is meet To own a change had come to me. The sun sinks in sea of gold, Across the prairie reaching wide; The tale of change I would withhold, But cannot from you, sweet, my bride; You're dearer now thou sand fold To me than in the morning tide.

party has brought TO the South all the
prosperity it enjoys, the fact Of its defeat by
a combination Of monopolists, money and
bad campaign management gives Southern
Democrats no reason TO iorswear their ALE

These agents spent all day in wrestling
with the tariff rates for passengers, and
VIII continue the session today, as only a
very small part OF the business calling
them together was disposed Of The tend
ency, as observed by an APPEAL reporter
who called at the council chamber, was to
raise the rate for unlimited tickets, while
the limited rate, in the main, stands about
where it has been for some time.
The rate compilers are mostly young
gentlemen, but thoroughly up in the in
tricate business. They are also q jovial
lot, and indulge quite literally in we'll
timed jests one with another. For exam
pie, when the reporter, on entering the
room, inquired for anything that could
with propriety go TO the public, Mr..
Winchell said, pointing to Mr.. Heard, who
sat at the opposite end of the rudely con-
structed table: ''There is the compiler
who can tell you all you want 10 know; we
are like the Trishmen who carried up the
brick to the man at the top, who did the
work." His remark caused hearty
laugh all around.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Mempl,is Theater.

The large and fashionable audience in
attendance at the theater last night was
a surprise, even 70 professional theater-
goes. Every seat in the auditorium was
filled, and a number Of gentlemen had to
stand up in tho aisles, II was, however,
n deserved compliment to Mr. Sol Smith
Russell, who wns remembered as an
amusing comedian and iun-making hui
morist in "Bewitched," farcical play
which he presented here last sea-
son, and which served him as a
means TO present his special songs
and character doineations. The drama
given last night, "a Poor Relation" is a
higher type Of comedy which gives Mr..
Russell ample opportunity to display his
powers as a comedian to better advantage.
His quiet, quaint humor and pathos as
Noah Vale won favor at once with the
audience, and constant repetition Of APP
plause and laughter iolled each scene and
act from the rising 10 the fall OF the cur
tain. The play Is certainly enjoyable. 1t
is full OF humor and good situations, and
is smoothly and most crcditably performed
by the company, the cast being very well
balanced.
Roderck Faye, the "old man" Of the
play, by Mr.. J. H. Fitzpatrick, was de-
cidedly natural and clever, as were also
the respective characters carried by Messrs.
Byron Douglass, Fred Jerome and K. +.
Sullivan.
The ladies OF the company, Misses Louise
Macintosh, Florence Field, Emma Butler
and Merri Osburn, were above tho aver
age, particularly The latter as Scallops, the
Terror OF the Top Floor. Miss Osburn has
n decided vein OF comedy in her constilu-
ton, which finds g. level when thrown in
contact with Mr.. Russell. Master Gerald
Crisp and Little Ada Terry were, TO use q
pet expression Of those who enjoyed their
performance, Gust too cute for anything.
