A SUCCESSFUL OPENING.

Mabel Paige Begins Her Starring Tour
Under Auspicious Circumstances.
Mabel Paige; the wonderful. child &C.
tress, opened her season at the Opera
House last night before crowded au-
dience TO say that the people were
pleased would be putting 1t mild. They
were delighted with the performa nee
and bestowed their applause in liberal
manner.
The attraction was q double bill,
namely, "Editha's Burglar" and In
shavogue." In the first bill Mabel played
the part OF Editha with great success.
"Inshavogue" is a great Irish drama
and the different artists handled their
characters entirely satisfactory to the
large audience. In the first act Mabel
delighted the house with beautiful
mandolin song and dance. Miss Mil.
ford rendered Maggie Doyle in a pleas
ing manner, Miss La Mari did great
song and dance and &. Harris Eden
made himself extremely popular by his
dialect songs.
In the second act Miss La Mari and
Miss Amy Paige rendered the Spanish
dance in highly artistic manner. This
was one OF the greatest hits OF the even
ing and was followed by the first pre-
sentation in Roanoke Of the serpentine
dance. beautifully rendered by Miss
Mabel Paige.
The personnel of the company Is an
excellent one and aside from their
specialties they are deserving OF great
praise. Miss Wane Milford, az the lead
ing lady, was all that could be desired
and Dora Paige and May La Mari added
new laurels to their already excellent
reputation here.
q. Harris Eden. as Inshavogue, was
all that could be wished for. Mr. Eden
is undoubtedly one of the finest charac-
ter actors on the stage. j. E. Voss, as
Herrick Wolf, played his part in man
ner that stamped him as an actor of
moro than ordinary ability and Messrs
Carlton, Stewert and Robisch were very
acceptable to the audience.
Altogether the Mabel Paige Com pany
is one of the finest repertoire companies
on the road and Manager M. A. Mosely
deserves great credit for getting to-
gether this fine aggregation OF talent

It was learned to-day that Corbett
will serve notice on the Olympic Club
tomorrow giving them thirty-ei hit
hours notice that unless Sullivan goes
into the ring and fights according to
Marquis OF Queensbury rules, there will
be no fight-that is to say, Sullivan
will have to show bare flesh from his
navel up.
Corbitt and his friends claim that in
all of Sullivan's previous fights he had
his stomach bandaged up with heavy
plasters from half inch to an inoh
thick, and thus protected his stomach
and took unfair advantage of his oppo-
nent.
They propose making him strip to the
waist like all other pugilists arc re-
quired to do. This will doubtless create
great sensation on New Orleans peo-
pie in the morning.

ROANOKE. VA, SEPTEMBER 6, 1893.
TEACH RIa1 A LESSON.

The action of Captain Thiele, of the
steamer Moravia, in bringing his plague.
ridden ship into port when he knew that
to do so risked the lives of hundreds of
thousands of people, stamps him as %
man either grossly ignorant or else
criminally careless. To add to this re-
markable action he wilfully left his ship
and went on land, thus taking addi-
tional measures to spread the disease,
only returning when forced to do so by
ahe authorities.
1t would appear that Captain Thiele
is good subject to make an EXAMPLE
of. He has shown himself not only I'M
fit to be placed in responsible posi-
ton, but also so utterly regardless of
the lives OF other people as to place him
in the category of greatcriminals. Only
few days after leaving port on his
voyage to New York he knew that his
ship was cholera infected but with an
utter disregard for the result Of his
action that stamps him as dangerous
man, he kept on and brought his plague
stricten ship into crowded harbor,
anchoring it in the midst of hundreds OF
other boats.
Had it not been for the prompt action
Of the New York health authorities Cap
tain Thiele's cholera-stricken psssen-
gers would have been landed, taken to
crowded tenement houses and nothing
could have saved the country from being
oyerrun by the plague. Captain Thiele
is badly in need Of lesson that will 9

Protection From Ch olera.

FROM inc Daltlmorc Sun.
Less than week ago iJ was reported
that the cholera had broken out in
Hamburg. Already i. has spread to
Havre, Rotterdam. Berlin. Glasgow,
Liverpool, London and numbers of less
important cities.
The rapidity Of its transmission from
port to port corroborates the early re-
ports as to tie imminence of the danger
impending over New York, Baltimore
and the other great shipping centers of
America, and makes it more and more
evident that radical measures must be
taken TX the threatened pestilence is to
be averted from our shores.
In London the disease was developed
by immigrants from an infected district,
who showed no symptoms Of cholera
when they landed, but who were shortly
afterwards stricken down by it. Nothing
could more clearly show the futility OF
mere inspection regulations as protec-
ton from the pestilence, and the Amer
lean authorities will do we'll to take
warning by London's example. 1t is
useless to hope to exclude the epidemic
by mere supervision of the shoals of
immigrants who are now flock ing to this
country. There is but one way OF ex-
Guiding it, and that is by absolutely
SAOSAhB Wi pm 70 oRoluSI ali persons or
cargoes coming from infect ted districts.
Great Britain is beginning to realize
that in an entire prohibition of immi-
grafton lies the only hope of safety; but,
unfortunately, in Gre at Britain it is now
too late TO employ that measure of pre-
caution, for the disease has already laid
it's hold upon the land.
In America we have yet time to pro-
tect ourselves. Let us not POSTPONE for
an unnecessary hour the introduction
into our ports of such restrictive regu-
lations as may insure us immunity from
the plague that is now Attic ting Europe.
Otherwise, we will, like England, regret
our delay after it is too late to remed it.

INCREASE IN SALARIES,
Teachers in the High School to Receive
Better Pay.

Teachers in the High School to Receive
Better Pay.
At the meeting of the Central Board of
Education last night the alleged measure to
create position for Prof Samuel Andrews
was not considered. During the session it
was recommended that the method of ad-
mitting pupils to the High School be
changed so that applicants hereafter could
get in on certificates from principals.
President McKelvy declared this motion
out of order. An effort was then made to
suspend the rules but the motion was de-
feated by 10 nays to IS yeas. The present
schedule of salaries for the school year was
adopted for 1898 with a few changes in the
High School schedule. The changes are as
follows: Teachers in charge of drawing, in
creased from 81, 200 to AGO. the same in
crease for assistant professor of mathematics.
Assistant professor of science, 81, 400 to
81, 700, assistant teachers in drawing and
commercial department from $500 to 5000
each.
An effort to take up the report verbatim
failed and it was adopted by 10 yeas to 13
nays. The report of the City Superinten-
dent for November showed an enrolment of
%, 43l pupils in the schools with an average
attendance OF 26, 103, and in the High School
out of total number of 937 pupils the
average attendance was 900. Miss Rolston
was authorized to engage an additional
teacher in the Normal School for the bal
ance of the year at $50 per month.

recommended that Girls Purity League

to the league.

Of the suggestion said: ''This is a
good idea, and just what should

likely to be thrown into the street. We
should do something for them, and this step

who is agitating this question to stir up

to see the work pushed forward"
Several members voiced the sentiments
expressed by Mrs. Rhodes.
Mrs R. H. Jones, who is County Super
