The Entertainment at Burwell
Hall.

a small audience attended the en-
tertainment at Burwell Hall Monday
night, given for the benefit of Frank
Green, the colored one-legged painter.
1t is to be regretted that more were
not present when the object was such
a worthy one. Of course it was not to
be expected that the entertainment
would eclipse minstrel performance
in the amount of fun created, or rival a
high class drama or tragedy in the
excellence ofhistrionic talent displayed;
but the admission fee would not seri-
ously have deprived any one while
many such contributions would greatly
help a needy and deserving person.
Mr.. Marston recited number Of
pieces, of which the entertainment
consisted chilly and deserves credit for
the part he took in the matter. The
vocal and instrumental music was
much enjoyed and those whoaided in
this feature also deserve credit.
1t was noticeable fact that very
few colored people were present,
although the ''beneft'' was for one of
their own race. Why was this? Was
it not to have been expected that
after the white people had arranged for
an entertainment for the benefit of one
of their number that the colored peo-
pie would give it countenance and aid
to the extent of contributing their
quarters and dimes toward accomplish
ing the object in view? 1t seems so to
Us; but they didn't. And this goes
further to establish the fact that the
white people of the South are the best
friends of the colored man, and it is to
them and not their own race that they
60 in time of need.

Important Meeting.

AS will be seen by reference to the
notice of Mr.. w. S. Parker. president
of the Chamber of Commerce, call is
made for meeting of the citizens and
business men of the town to be held at
Parker's Hall Friday night for the
purpose of recognizing that body.
This is an important step and every
man who has the good of the town and
community at heart ought to signify
1t by his presence at the time and place
above named. Don't stay away think
ing your neighbor will be there and
that will do just as well. You should
attend and lend encouragement by
your presence, if nothing else, to every
effort made to push the town forward.
The time for action has come, unless
we are willing to see Henderson out
stripped in the race for commercial
supremacy and prosperity. The citi-
zeDs of other places are awake and at
work, while we appear to be content
to talk and do little else.

Small Industries.
That we need more factories in Hen
derson every business man and prop
erty owner readily admits. We want
more enterprises giving employment
to labor, and in the wages thus paid
turning loose constant streams of
money into the various business chan
nels. And it is not always the big
concerns that are worth most to a
community. 1t is better that there
should be diversity of industries-a
number of small factories operating on
different lines; but in this day of gigan-
tic corporations the little things are
lost sight of. Because we can not es-
tablish great cotton mill or something
of equal proportions and pretentions
our people are too ready to relinquish
their efforts. forgetting that it is from
small beginnings that great enterprises
are evolved. If we can not succeed in
I great undertaking let us be content
with more humble ones. A black
smith shop that is run on Il successful
and paying basis is better than steel
plant that is a failure. Let US turn
our attention to small industries. There
ere plenty openings for great many
enterprises of various kinds in Hender-
son. Can we not fill up some of these
vacancies and occupy this field as we'll
IS others? You think so? Then what
ire you doing in thematter? Are you
alking up the question of small indus

Tllling to put some money in such en-

opinion that the rest of the people in

off your shoulders, and that it is SIM

policy, look to private interest ire

Vigorously Advocates the Passage
of the Anti-Option Bil.

WASHINGTON, u. c., Dee 1.-THE house
entered actively into the work Of the session
today and after one hours debate passed
the army appropriation bill, practically
without amendment. There was some
sharp discussion over novel amendment
presented by Mr. Anthony of Texas, pro
hibitng retired army officers from drawing
pay from the government in any otherc rcapac-
ity, but it was finally defeated.
Cobb of Missouri reported a bill from COM
mittee on war claims, for reference to the
private calendar, for the relief of the heirs
of Mary Ann Randolph Curtiss Lee of Nir-
ginia amounting to S2l1 600
The publication of 10000 copies of the
presidents annual message was ordered.
Among the other measures passed was the
bill extending the provisions of the act for
the immdiate transportion of dutable goods
to Duluth Mimi, also a bill extending, for
one year, the provisions of the act authoriz-
ing the construction of bridge across the
Red river.
The house then went into committee of the
whole (Nlr. De Almond of Missouri in the
chair, on the army appropriation bill
MIR. Outhwaite ,of Ohio, chairman of the
committee on military affairs, made a state
ment as to the appropriations carried by the
bill They We're S24 POP iOi against appro-

for the coming year.
Mr. Anthony's Firebrand.
The bin having been read for amendments,
Mr.. Anthony democrat. Texas custa brand
of fire into the committee. 1t was in the
shape of an amendment providing that be-
fore any retired officer, or retired enlisted
/ marshal be paid any part of his pay, as such
| retired man, the secretary of war shall as.
! certain If such person receives pay from the
| government in any other official capacity,
and if such is the case, he shall not receive
any pay under this act. MIR AnthOr II in be
! half of his amendment cited the case of a
| postmaster in his congressional district who
was upon the retired list of the army and
! who was also receiving pension from the
government.
Mr.. Bingham (republican of Pennsylvania
! stubb0rny opposed the amendment and
offered the case of General Sickles and Gen.
! eral Rosecrans-to both of whom he paid
high compliments-in order to impress the
house with the dcsirability of rejecting the
! proposition
He was ably seconded by Mr. Outhwaite
and without division the amendment was re-
| jected.
The committee of the whole having arisen
and the bill having been reported to the
! house, MIR. Anthony moved to recommit it to
the committee on military affairs, with in.
| struction to the committee to report it back
! amended in the manner in which it would
| have been had the former motion prevailed
! This was rejected and the bill was passed

VALPARAISO, (via Galveston, Tex Dec. IA.
: BY Mexican Cable to the New York Her
ald--Special to The BEE Another plot of
the followers of the late President Balma-
ceda has been discovered by the gov
ernment at Santiago and frustrated.
An attempt was made to corrupt the Sev-
enth regiment, and that fact became known
to the government Sunday. Shortly before
the evening call yesterday, sentries of police
were stationed around the various barracks
and Immediately after the sentries closed in,
barring the exits.
The police went in and arrested several
groups of conspirators. The plans of the
plotters were seized Various points in the
city were to have been sacked, and there
were lists of prominent government
officials who were to have been killed
A number of masks, daggers, revolvers and
military caps were found in addition to blue
bands for distinctive marks, blue lights and
torches. Fortysix prisoners are now in GUS
tody. They are all ex-oficers of the army
and among them is Malquido Concha, who
was the agent of Juan McKenna.
The plotters were divided into groups and
each ordered to attack and plunder certain
portion of the city. The Seventh regiment
has been ordered south and the executive
intends asking congress for extraordinary
powers Public opinion demands strong
measures, and it is the general opinion that
the best method is to transport the conspir-
ators to Easter island. Claudio Vicuna is
said to be supplying funds to the malcon-
tents from Buenos Ayres. Several ex-offi-
GERS of the army have entered the service of
Paraguay.

ping malady from which he has suf-
fered for SO long time, has assumed form
which warns his family and friends of u
speedy termination. The disease attacked
his lungs shoFt time ago, and
it's course has baf1led the skill
of his physicians. The visit of
DR.. E. G. Janeway of New York
to Mr.. Blaine is indicative of the extreme
anxiety of the family. When the fact be-
came known that Mr.. Blaine's lungs were
succumbing to the ravages of the disease
plans were laid to convey the distinguished
invalid to Pasadena, Cal, in the hope that
mild and soothing climate might enable
him to rally. Mr. Blaine's weakness, how
ever, increased so rapidly that it was deemed
unsafe to move him and the trip to California
was abandoned. There was reason to believe
that the ex-secretary's death may occur at
any day.
"Rev Fathers Ducey's visit to the Blaine
residence at this time has naturally revived
the talk about Mr.. Blaine's embracing the
Roman Catholic faith strong belief pre-
