SHILOH CHURCH.

We are sorry to find this great
church becoming SO noted as a
place of disorder and confusion
during church meetings, especial
ly. A great number of good Bap-
lists are becoming dtgusted on
account of those church troubles.
IF our church officers would be
more careful, much of this trouble
would be averted and the name
of the denomination saved from
disgrace.-Ch istiau Banner.

SAM T. JACK,
Emancipator. Founder of Creole
Show.
organization

Show.
1t was he who, in many instances,
was compelled to seek the emanci
patton of many OF the pretty ar
lists who make up this company.
Not a few of the Creole bellies
were under a system of bondage,
which exists more or less in the
remote tropical lands and were
secured and set at liberty, 50 far
as personal rights are concerned, f,
only on the payment of immense
sums of money. When Mr.. Jack
undertook the engagement of
Egyptian beauties, he encountered
the tiercest resistance from masters
who, though not actual slave-own-
ers, guard their women with a
Jealous eye. 1t was at the risk of
his life that Mr.. Jack sought to
llberAte, and bring to the country
of freedom, the four eunuchs who
suffered the intolerable thraldom
of guarding the narems of
despotic suttans. Mr.. Jack may
justly be called emancipation.
There Is no entertainment like
this under the sun. 1t consists of
first part, olio and burlesque in
which none but new features are
seen, including scenes of tropical
luxuriance and Oriental splendor,
Introducing the most exquisite
costumes There are many pretty
vocalists, with rich musical voices,
who sing native songs that have
never been heard here, as well as
shapely dancers who execute SEN
sational dances of the tropics and
the Orient with rare skill, grace
and enthusiasm. Ladies matinees

AN ENTERPRISING MAN

For several years the coIored
people in this city have been de-
prived of first class accommodation
in public inns. The reason has
been that they have failed to sup
port their own institutions and
enterprises. There is no reason at
this time why they should not
have first class establishments
where ladies aud gentlemen can
be accommodated without the
least suspicion. The BEE now re-
fers to the ice cream parlOrs of Mr..
