MacOollin Opera Company at the
Harmony Hail."
Galveston Daily News
The music loving people of Calves
ton were given another rare treat last
night in the admirable presentation Of
The Kings Musketeer's by the Mac
Collin Opera Company at Harmony
Theatre. Manager Hawley is to be
congratulated on his good taste and
judgment in selecting such an attrac-
ton, and the large and enthusiastic au-
dience present last evening gave evi.
dence that his efforts are fully appreci-
ated. 1t was by far the best audience
that has assembled there, scarcely .
seat down stars, except in the extreme
back row, being vacant. The enter
tainment itself was frst-class in every
respect The company is extremely
well balanced, not a ''stick" being in
it, and most if not all Of its members
act as we'll as they sing. Encores are
frequent, in fact scarcely chorus or
song escaped. Mr.. MacCollin as a
comedian is an artist of the highest
order. He looks funny, walks funny,
dances funny and is funny in spite Of
himself, whether he chooses to be so or
not. 1t is not making use of stereo-
type phrase to say that the MacCollin
Opera Company is frst-class one
To-day for the matinee will be present
ed the ever popular and fascinating
Mikado and tonight the Bohemian
Girl. The Mikado is Mr.. Mace Collins
favorite piece, as it brings out his
strong points and never fails to con-
vulse his audience. No lever of sweet
music, we'll spiced with fun and wit,
should absent himself or herself from
the entertainments now being given by
this fine company st the Harmony
Theatre.

Closing of Miss COnyers's School.

Mr.. ED1roR:-Please allow me a
little space in your valuable paper
that I may tell you of a delightful
exhibition which it was my good
fortune to attend on Friday last, the
18th. I refer to the closing exercises
of the Pine Grove School, taught by
Miss Mary NJ. Conyers, and I do as
sure YOU that it was indeed an enjoy
able occasion. Clarendon's fair daugh-
ters were there in great numbers, and
you may know without my telling it
that the young men were also there,
for it is said that the bees are invarl-
ably found where the flowers are in
bloom. Seldom, indeed, sir, that you
can gather an audience so select and
yet so large, especially in the country.
! 1t was conclusive evidence of the IN
terest taken in the great cause of ed
ucation. The people of this commu-
nifty are greatly aroused upon the
subject, and how can it be otherwise,
when such an efficient teacher is at
work among them. Well may the
patrons congratulate themselves in
having procured the services of Miss
Conyers, who is so deeply interested
in the dissemination of knowledge
among the masses. Two violins dis
coursed soft sweet melodies, whilst
the scholars acquitted themselves in
their recitations, declamations, and
dialogues in such a manner as to sat
isfy the most incredulous that great
care had been bestowed upon them.
The valedictory, God be with you
till we meet again." was beautifully
rendered by Misses ltasca and Carrie
Conyers and Messrs. Charley and JIM
mie Cole and Marion Conyers. Mr..
John Green presided with dignity,
and gracefully presented each of the
speakers. b. b. L.

DR.. Moods artesian water turns ont to be
an excellent mineral water, being very

It is probably as good medicinal water as

cool and delicious. After standing awhile
even in tightly corked bottle it turns q
reddish yellow color, and when exposed to
the air becomes in a little while so muddy
looking that one cannot see through it. 1t
is so strongly impregnated that If tea OF
oak leaves, containing tannin be placed IN
it. it will turn as black rs ink IL a short

ter in our midst, which is due to Dr. Moods
enterprise, we regard as valuable. We
trust that the discovery will prove great

it will and that it will prove profitable to

Judge kerShaw's Opinion of the Mellow
Jury's Verdict.

The following statement, made in writing
and signed by DIR. Todd Of Barnwell, has
been sent to the jury in the AcDow case,
as little salye after so much blister. The
same statements as are therein accredited
to Judge Kershaw, have been quoted by
number of gentlemen in this city as having
been expressed to them at different times.
This is given as a conversation. 1t Is rs fol-
lows, uerbatim:
son the 7th July came on the cars with
my old army friend, Judge Kershaw, going
to Camden from Kingville. I inquired of
Judge Kershaw what he thought Of the ver-
dict in the Mellow case, stating that he had
heard all of the evidence and perused all
the facts
Under the circumstances, if you had
been Juror in place Of being the Judge,
what would have been your verdict"
His answer was:
doctor, 1 would have been compelled
to have given the same verdict as that jury
did
II Immediately told a lady friend on board
the train of the Judges opinion on the
case. GEO. n. Y. IoDD, Al. -.

In the letter which accompanied this it is
stated under what circumstances DR.. Todd
wrote this statement. He was speaking to
o number of friends of the case, and re-
lated the incident. They Immediately call
ed for it in writing, saying that at such a
time it would be very valuable.
One of the jurymen stated yesterday that
Judge Kershaw had expressed surprise at
the verdict, because he did not think the
twelve men who composed the jury could
all maintain their independence Of thought
in the face of the difficulties that they would
have to meet by following such course

They Cotched Him.

Dick Meyers was the only prisoner
in jail last week, and he grew very
lonely and weary of staying in such
uncomfortably close quarters this hot
weather. So last Friday by means of
an old knife he cut board in two,
and then easily gaining entrance to
an adjoining cell he was at liberty
once more, for the aforesaid adjoining
cell is without q lock to make it Sc
cure. Dick then leisurely strolled
down stairs, in hopes Of finding some
souvenir to take with him as me-
mento of his stay in Manning. Not
finding anything that suited him, he
bid hasty farewell to the 'srotten
county JAIL" as Uncle Ellie would
say, and was gone by the time the
taller heard of it. Unfortunately for
his liberty, however, Dick directed
his course in the wrong direction--he
went towards Salem. He spent Fri
day night at Alderman's Mill, and it
seems that Mr.. Alderman has an un-
usually honest set of hands. It so
happened that Deputy Sheriff John
C. Harrin having been taken sick a
day or two before was home, very
near this mill He was informed early
Saturday morning by one of the ne
gro hands at the mill that Dick was
there, Dragging that he had broken
iiail, knocked the jailer down and
beaten him, and was determined to
stay free. Mr.. Harvin was in bed,
but making an effort, he got to the
mill where by a little maneuyering
Dick was caught. AS the tram train
started out Dick boarded it, where
upon by direction Of Deputy Harvin
the negro hands seized Dick, and
though he did some tall scufling they
held him as their prisoner, until Mr..
Harvin came up. Then he caved in,
and was taken in charge by the maj
esty of the law. Mr. Harvin carried
him to the telegraph Office. and was
in the act of inditing a telegram to
the Sheriff, when he got telegram
from the Sheriff to look out for Dick
Mr.. Harvin deserves great credit for
his prompt action, especially as he
was very sick at the time, scarcely able
to walk, and so also do those hands at
Mr. Alderman's mills, who aided SC
largely in re-arresting this fellow
Dick is in jail on charge of burglary
and larceny.
