LIZZIE EVANS.
A Lively and Amusing Tlay-Last Nights
Attraction.

Lively and Amusing rlay-Last Nights
Attraction.
Fogg's Ferry has the usual popular
feature of the average musical comedy
these days. While the scenery and
characters are sometimes novel and in
teresting, the arrangement is subordi-
nate to the specially work OF Miss
Evans as "Chip.'' She has cute
tricks and is good dencer-also
sings nicely; but "Chip' is rude
country girl with most accomplished
feats. Miss Evans in her acting is often
too intense and extreme. She might
change the habit of looking up at va
eancy so much. The funny duets and
double dancing called forth the plaudits
Of the groundlings.
The cast WAS very fair. Mr.. Henry
Mills sang and danced well as "Gerald
White.' Mr.. A. II. Brooks carried out
the character OF the weak and kindly old
ferryman. Though the role OF "Bolter'
does not permit of an exhibition of his
powers, Mr.. w. E. Donaldson is easily
seen TO be an actor of merit for heavy
parts.
The scenery was appropriate and well
Set, and the explosion on the river and
ihe passing steamboat was realistic.
The house was tolerably filled, con-.

know these things, and be apprised of
their duty in going TO the polls on
election day, and giving such majority
for the commission as will overwhelm
the ants, and compel the legislature to
carry out the popular wish. The people
have only their votes with which
to oppose the tireless cunning
of their adver sarles, and if
those rates are not forthcoming IN
sufficient numbers, they may find too
late that they have been tricked out OF
their game. Let them turn out and
vote, not only for the commission
amendment, but for the road tax amend
ment as we'll. Both are needed and can
be had only by due diligence on the part
OF those who will reap the benefit of
them.
Those about the capital witnessed a
sight two or three days ago in the pom
derous personality of negro woman of
enormous dimensions. who came down
from Hillsboro to see the great capital
building. She was not much above me-
dunn in stature, but was huge in
girth, her weight being 375 pounds.
In spite of her weight she carried her
mountain of flesh upstairs and into both
house and senate chambers without
much apparent effort. She is the
mother of four daughters whose average
weight is $50 pounds. and of three sons
none of whom weigh less than 800
pounds. j. F. ..

Resolutions of Respect.

WHEREAS, We as society of
Christian Endeavor have been for
the second time called upon to
mourn the loss of an active member,
Ida r. Jenness, who has been asso-
ciated with us from our organization,
and who has always been punctual,
regular and faithful in her attendance
upon our meetings and the services
Of the Church; but who has now been
called from earthly service to join the
Church above.
Resolved, That we humbly bow to
the will of our Heavenly Father, and
while we mourn with her family and
friends we rejoice in the assurance
that their loss and ours is her eternal
gain.
Resolved, That we are thankful
for her consistent christian life and
are impressed by her early death Of
the necessity of our "being also
ready"
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to her bereaved
family, and be recored in the minutes
of the society. EXECUTIVE Con-.

We make tho following extract
from the private letter of an old
Cecil countain, who is at present a
resident of Philadelphia. After re-
ferring to St. Johns meeting at
Rising Sun, he says:
81 heard st. John here once. He
is a great speaker. The best l think
I ever heard. Gen. Fisk spoke the
same evening, and other noted
speakers. Fisk drew large crowd
when he was done speaking fully half
the audience left. The audience was
largely composed of Blaine republi-
cans and they left because of their
dislike of st. John. They blamed
him for defeating Blaine in New
York, and giving the State to Cleve,
land"
This childishness is pretty near
abandoned since New York's last
display of consistency whea Harri-
son had eleven thousand majority
over Cleveland, and Hill the, Demo-
crat whiskey Governor, had fourteen
thousand majority over Warner Mil.
Ter the Republican candidate for
Governor, WAC proclaimed that he
was running in the interest of tenn
perance. We make the following
further extracts from the letter:
~ hope Cecil will continue to be
prohibition county. The high license
humbug has deceived many honest
temperance men. Here in the city
where the Brooks high license is
claimed by the press to have done so
much, is all bosh. Thousands OF
speak easies are in place of unlicens.
ed saloons and arrests for drunken
ness are as numerous as ever
Every morning the police vans reach
Penn Square loaded with drunken
men and women to be fined or i'm
prisoned same as under any grade of
license"

will be located here in a short time.
Instead of the capital being 100000,
it is to be ST 900, 900. The financial
arrangements, which are the most
important, have already been ar.
ranged. 1t is said that the buildings
will cover plot of ground of nearly
len acres and the ground has been
secured. 1t will, it is said, when in
operation, give employment to 800
men. We do not know what is to
be manufactured, as we understand
that is yet private matter"
This is what the appeal Gays, which
is the weekly advance courier of the
Elkton papers. Tue thing is equal
to Barnum's ''What Is It," Wonder
if it has horns? And may be it is

the first sound of it's coming.
