A CARD.

As there seems to be an impression
that we have pledged ourselves to
build an Opera House on the lots on
Jefferson street, in which we hold
controlling interest, We desire to state
that we have never directly or indi-
rectly agreed to build said Opera
House, having merely expressed our
intention of doing everything consis-
tent witheour interests to promote the
enterprise. We would further state
that we We're offered stock of the
Opera House Company upon condi-
tions that we would agree to build
said Opera House, and we declined
to purchase on any such basis. We
are, however, ready TO entertain any
any propositions looking to the build
ing Of an Opera House, and shall. be
glad to cooperate with the citizens of
Roanoke in securing thismuch needed
addition to orr city.

HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

The Annual Report of Superintendent
John Foley.
The report Of the Superintendent of the
House of Correction for the fiscal year end
ing June 30. 1890, has been published. In it
the Superintendent calls for a better system
of classification than exists at present, for ad-
ditional buildings to accommodate the in
mates and for the Introduction of some sys-
tenn Of archaeological training that will pre-
pare the prisoners for better life.
Ii some attempt at reform is not made in
the latter direction, he does not see any ad-
vantage TO society in maintaining the pres
ent institution and therefore suggests that it
be abolished. He notes also with alarm the
rapid increase of morphine, opium and CO.
caine fiends among the criminal classes and
draws attention to the extra expense to
which the city is put for higli-priced drugs
and nourshing food made necessary by that
fact.
The sanitary condition of ths institution
and its discipline are highly praised, and in
this connection credit is given to DR.. S. S.
Kahn and Deputy Superintendent NJ. J..
Sullivan for their active cooperation with
the Superintendent in securing such favora-
Bile results
