Little Lord rauntlerox.

Possibly there never has been play that
has received more gratuitous advertising
Lord Fauntleroy.n IL has been written
about in dailies and magazines in season
and out of season, and there are bat few
people who have not at least some inkling
of the beautiful story.
II was therefore not surprising that last
night, at the Theatre. when the curtain
rose on the opening scene Of the play every
seat in the house was occupied. More than
half the audience were ladies and chill
dren--an unusual sight at an evening per-
torrance.
The character Of the purc-minded, hap
lord is one that Offers many opportunities

GOVERNOR LEE IN DANGER.
He Makes a Narrow Escape from Serious
Accident.

On the arrival of Governor Lee yesterday
ut Suffolk, where he went TO attend the un-
velling of the Confederate monument. an
accident occurred which for time put the
life of tho Chief Executive of the State IN
imminent peril and caused the immense
crowd TO stand with bated breath.
RUNAWAY HORSES.
II so happened that on his arrival Gov
ernor Lee was ushered into O carriage 10y
his host. Colonel Thomas W. Smith. who,
with General Charles j. Anderson. started
for the residence of the Colonel. When at
the junction of Riddick and Washington
streets, the crowd yelling their applause and
cheers to Governor Lee, it was suddenly no.
ticed that n strap TO the yoke on the tongue
of the vehicle had broken, and the horses
dashed wildly down Washington street.
The crowd opened the way TO admit the
fleeing horses, but could do nothing, and
the now thoroughly frightened team rush
ed madly on to the narrow-gauge road at
the foot of the incline.
A AsoENE.
Marshals on horseback dashed after the
fleeing vehicle, while the people on the
streets looked with anxious expressions to
ascertain the result. The driver kept his
horses-a pair of large, fine bays-in tho
middle of the street, for with a harness so
broken he was powerless 10 stop them.
EFFORTS IN VAIN.
At the end OF the second block the run
awavs swerved into the gutter, and as the
vehicle stood on two wheels it looked as
though fearful crash would come. Right
ing itself, however. the carriage with its
precious freight was wildly impelled along.
General Anderson umped from the car
rage on the right in an effort TO eaten the
horses, and in o moment thereafter Colo
mel Smith made u like endeayor from the
left
The horses at this juncture, by some
chance. turned to the left and dashed into
lamp-post. At this moment the Governor
leaped from the carriage and to the horri-
fed spectators it looked as though the We
hicle was topping over upon him.
HE'S ALL RIGHT.
The Governor was thrown upon his
knees, receiving a slight blow in the small
of the back from the tenders of the wheels
He was soon upon his feet and to the que
ries of anxious thrOngs of friends who sur
rounded him he said:
"Oh, no! | am not hurt. L am al
right"

Governor Lee returned to the city last
evening. ,..,
Beyond a slight pain in the back. little
abrasion on the left le., and slight twist
of the left ankle. the Governor Is well,
hearty, and in good spirits.

Dairy suppcstjons.

Speaking of the necessity Of cleanli-
ness in the dairy,lan English writer
says: s'If the millSin the course of its
career, gets the slightest taint, ire
parable damage is occasioned, and
carelessness in any one of the various
operations connected with the making
of butter or cheese, may lead to the
production on some occasion OF an un-
equal and Indifferent article, and so de-
stroy the character of the product for
regular and high class quality. To
guard, as far as possible, against such
mishaps, dairy operations can only be
safely entrusted to reliable persons,
who take pride in their work, and who
appreciate the Importance of attending
strictly to every detail. Such persons
will not milk or perform the other byre
operations that have hitherto been, IN
many cases, associated with the duties
of dairy maid. Their tun ctions should
begin where the mixers end, and their
duties be confined to the dairy and it's
belongings. This is an age of special
ism. 1t is by the division of labor, and
concentrating each persons attention
upon their own particular branch, that
every other industry progresses; and
the time has arrived when this princi-
pie must be adopted on the dairy farm,
1t is not possible, however, to educate
sufficient first-class butter and cheese.
