THE SAN FRANCISCO MINsTRELs.-The
performance of Ned Thomas San Francisco
Niustrels at Burwell Hall Thursday even
ing, was witnessed by large and highly
pleased audience. In SOME respects it was
perhaps the best minstrel troupe that has
yet visited Henderson. There were more
ludicrous scenes. more good "hits" and
laugii-provoking features about the enter
tainment-and to create laughter is the
mission of the minStrel-while it was not
as bright and catchy" as either of those
here short while back. 1t is large troupe,
numbering more than twenty people, and
there are many frst-class performers in it,
among whom We mention Charley Rey-
nolds. James OWN, A. j. Talbot, Bob
Richmond. Frank Howley and Andy Barr
The singing of the Glenwood Quartette was
much enjoyed as were the solos of Frank
Mitchell and J. B. Rapier, and the comic
songs of Reynolds, Talbot and Quinn.
Seldom have we seen better pleased au-
dience, one that applauded more vocifer-
ously or laughed longer and louder, and a
higher tribute to the MERIT of the perform
, ance the GOLD LEAF cannot pay.

LONDON, Oct 25-There were fewer spec
tators in the probate court room when the
Parnel inquiry commission resumed its hear
ing than on either Of the previous days Sir
Charles Russell began the proceedings by do
manding the production Of the letters in the
possession Of rhe Times which are alleged to
have been written by Messrs. Dillon, Biggar
and other Parnellites.
Sir Charles said that Mr. Soames, solicitor
for The Times, had filed an affidavit stating
TINT the documents had been received from
an American numed Roberts, and that some
Of them had proved upon examination, to
be not genuine, and therefore were withheld
in The Times O'Donnell libel suit
Attorney General Webster said that these
documents were not material 20 the case and
declined 60 produce them. Sir Charles i'm
sisted, and finally the commission ordered
that the letters be produced
Then Sir Charles asked for a statement of
particulars and charges against Mr.. Parneli
. and other Nationalsts, but Justice Hannah
said the commission was Of the opinion that
all particulars that were required were being
given.
Attorney General Webster then continued
his address He accused Mr. Parnel OF Grim
inality in his knowledge Of the use of vast
sums Of money by the league for criminal
purposes Some items Of the accounts Of the
league, he said, had been traced. disclosing
Mr. painelrs relations with murderous asso-
Citations; for instance, the el00 check sent 10
Byrne and the s35 check sent to Quinn.
Mr.. Webster was proceeding to discuss tho
support received by the Parnellites from Tbs
Irish World when the hour for Adjournment
arrived and the commission adjourned
The Parnellites are elated over the admis-
sion of The Times solicitors that their client
is in possession Of letters admittedly spurious,
aud il is argued, not only by the National
ists but by many Of The Times' hitherto ad-
herents, that the paper may have been de
ceived IN the matter Of the other documents
upon which its case is based.
