CHARLES Z. DAY IN THE TOLLS
OF THE LAW.
The Hero Of the Recent Romantic
Marriage in Henderson Arrested
for Forgery.


Our readers will remember the recent
marriage at Massenburg's Hotel in this
place of couple under somewhat ro-
mantle circumstances. The contract
ing parties were Charles E. Day, of
Philadelphia. and Miss Belle Newton,
of Red Bank, Mississippi. The mar
rage was brought about by an adver-
tisement in a matrimonial paper, and
by agreement the meeting was to take
place in GAINESVILLE. Va, the lady hav-
ing relatives living in this section.
They met according to appointment
and came to Henderson and were mar
ried here. Already the hero of the
affair seems to have come to grief.
The Oxford Day says:
Several days ago Day was arrested
here and carried to GAINESVILLE, Va,
for forgery, but managed to get clear.
Saturday he reappeared in this city,
and On the plea that he was hungry
and without money. induced Messrs.
Griffin s. Glenn to give him a written
order ON restaurant for fifteen cents
worth of food. Having the signature
of this firm in his possession, he forged
their name to a check on the Bank OF
Oxford for ten dollars and passed it at
R. w. Hobgood's racket store, getting
part money and part in merchandise.
The forgery was not discovered un-
til some hours later, and then a war
rant was issued for his arrest. CHIEF
of Police Rem found him yesterday af:
! ternoon concealed in one of the cars
of the construction train at the depot
| He was committed to Jail, and thi:
morning, when brought before Mayor
Smith, the case was sent on to the
grand jury.

This is what il Said Of the Royce &
Lansing Musical Company.
OF the Royce & Lansing Musical
Comedy Company, which is booked to
appear at Burwell Hall next Tuesday
evening, a special correspondent writ
ing from Dension, Texas, to the New
Orleans Spirit Of the South, says this:
DENsIoN Tex, Dec. l2.-[Special.l
Tuesday evening. December 10th, the
patrons of McDougall's opera house
were treated to a rich feast of fun in
terspersed with splendid music, both
vocal and instrumental. by the Royce
and Lansing Musical Company, who
presented their specialities under the
name of 1.-The Scrap Book" Mr.. Ray
l.. Royce is the principal comedian,
| and with his droll ways and comical
facial expressions keeps his audience
convulsed with laughter. Sol. Smith
Russell is fine specialist, but in our
humble opinion Mr.. Ray Royce is his
equal in talent and his superior in ex-
ecution. Mr.. Royce's Interpretation
of the various characters he initiates is
wonderfully correct and his work
throughout the entire entertainment
is exceptionally fine. Lizzie Royce is
a beautiful and accomplished musician
who sings very sweetly and performs on
several different instruments. She
seems to be Mr.. Royce's right bower
in several of his sketches and right well
does she perform her part.
Nellie Harris is also q musician oil
more than ordinary skill, especially on
the violin. Her voice in singing il
quite sweet but lacks compass. She
assists iii no small degree in the fun and
entertainment of the evening. Mr.,
Chas. Horwitz in his various character
delineations is immense; he has fine
voice and a good command of it. The
| company as whole, is far above the
average and merits success. This is
their first visit to Texas but we hope il
| will not be the last; should they return
next season they will be greeted with a
full house in Denison.
ForsIfy Against In Grippe.
The prevailing complaint now is Ii

malady to fortify their constitution
against it. You can do this by takin!

A Very CscdisabIe and Enjoyable
Enfersaiament.

Entertainment.
Perhaps the most creditable and en-
joyable entertainment yet given at
Burwell Hall by arneteurs, was that
last Tuesday evening, for the benefit OF
the Soldiers Home of North Carolina.
The program was we'll arranged and
admirably carried out. Wewere pleased
to see 80 large an audience present, a
tact which must have been as encour-
aging as it was gratifying to the ladies
and gentlemen having the affair in
charge. The players had thoroughly
memorized their parts and their lines
were well spoken, eyincing IN some
histriOnic talent of more than ordlna y
ability-which we have recognized them
as possessed of before. We cannot be-
stow that need of praise upon them
that they so richly merit, and it would
not be fair to particularize so we must
be content by saying the entertainment
was good all through, as enjoyable to
the very large and appreciative audi
ence as it was creditable to the per-
formers, and those who did not witness
it missed a real treat.
The excellent music rendered by
Messrs. Gloss and Jordan. vio!ins, and
Willie Harris, cornet, assisted by Miss
Bette Blacknall as pianist, was an en-
joyable feature of the evening.

CAET-INY rI-S nINn

The New York Herald gets more auda-
cious and absurd in its lying every day. In
lis issue of last Friday it said:
On n moderate calculation one million false of
DARTS, first aud last haze Bss, fled at the Pension
Rure1u since 1855. Not only have the peEiurers
escaped punishment, and not only has there been
no attempt in recent years to detect them, bat in
almost every case they have been rewarded by the
granting Of pensions.
Why not pass law granting 500 year TO every
person who will swear falsely himself and bring
four other persons TO swear falsely with him
That would immensely simplify matters and have
the merit OF candor.
Did any one ever know such astounding
lying by paper laying claim to Tespecta-
bility?
"one million false afidavits!" The
Commissioner Of Pensions reports this year
that there have been 1,353,19O pension
claims fled since 1s61, of which s55,75s
have been allowed. This includes all the
pensions for service in the Revolution, the
war of 1872, the Mexican war, and the In
dian wars.
The Herald means to say, then, that at least
five out of every six of all these claimants
deliberately peiured themselves, and that
the Examining Surgeons, the employees of
the Pension Bureau, Representatives in
Congress, Senators, and other high officials
were willing accomplices in this wholesale
perjury.
1t is the most outrageous calumny ever
uttered against the American people. 1t is,
in fact, charge that we are as a Nation
liars and takers Of false oaths, for every citi-
zen Of middle age in the loyal North was,
in one way or another, connected with some
OF those 1,353,19O claims, and consequently
shared more or less directly in the wilful
perjury.
In almost every case" says the Herald,
the perjurers have been rewarded with
pensions" That is, there have been 1,OOO,-
600 false afIidavits, and s55,75S pensions
granted, SO that every man, widow, orphan,
dependent father or mother now on the
pension-roll, or who has been on there since
1861, has gotten there by means Of swearing
falsely!
Comment falls neryeless before such reck-
less calumny. The man who brands the
whole body of his neighbOrs and fellow
citizens as utterly withouttruth, honesty or
honor, simply stamps himself as a conscience
less liar and slanderer.
