The Barlow Minstrels,

Owing to tho very disagreeable
weather the above company of "burnt
cork' artists was greeted by rather
slim and not too appreciative audience,
cn the occasion of their performance
at Ghio's opera house in this city, last
evening Several things combined to
detract from both the excellence and
enjoyment OF the entertainment The
weather was intensely gloomy, dis
piriting and disagreeable, affecting
both actors and audience in marked
unfavorable manner. The entertain
ment, as a whole, given by this COM
pany, is unquestionably subject to ad-
verse criticism, several Of tho features
being indelcate and even coarse to
the point Of vulgarity, the "bete-noir"
Of so many modern minstrel compan-
les. Upon the other hand some Of
the special features were excellent,
showing individual talent Of Il high
order on the part of the special artists.
We are inclined to the belief, how
ever that pleasant weather and a full
house would have conduced to q far
better performance than that rendered
last evening under such adverse cir
cumstances.

Died.

At the home of her parents in this
city last night little Louise, the infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Ran
dali, after a brief but painful illness.
Thus the sable pinions of the dark
angel of death have cast their fatal
shadow over the hallowed circle of
another Texarkana home. The golden
chain of domestic happiness is broken,
its brightest link being snapped as
sunder by the inexorable hand of
death. Every heart will 90 out in
deep sorrow and abiding sympathy
to the grief stricken parents in this
dark hour of deep afiliction. The sad
event is rendered donbly sorrowful
by the absence of the husband and
father, in this trying hour of heart
rending afiliction. The funeral will
take place Immediately upon Mr..
RandalPs arrival from Alexandria, La,
where he is at present stationed. He
is expected to reach home tonight or
tomorrow morning.

A Solution of the Problem of Poverty.

.
The German system of poor-relic
known as "the Elberfeld system" is &C
ceptcd by many of our greatest econ
omists as the most satisfactory system
that has ever been devised. 1t is il
operation in at least thirty-slx Ger
man towns aud cities, where its prac-
tical workings are described in the
December number of the Forum by
Prof Francis G. Peabody, who made
for the Forum personal examination
of it on the spot.
The leading facts about this inter
estlng system arc that the superintend-
ent of poor-relief is a trained expert
who is chosen for life, is paid for his
services, and is eligible to the pension
list. Under him are a number of men
who are elected to aid him, and these
are among the for, most men in each
town, such as bank presidents, lawyers,
preachers, and presidents of universi-
ties, successful merchants-in general,
the most important and influential
citizens. Under the direction of this
body a large number of visitors of the
poor are selected to serve without
payment; and among these are many
of the best citizens of the town. Then
the town or city is divided into small
sections, block or two being a Sec
ton, and in each section there is man
whose duty it is to know personally
the condition of every poor resident,
aud in case of want to
make a personal investigation.
This personal investigation is report
ed to the committee of which he is u
member, and this committee prov des
immediate relief in case of dire need:
and then the case is reported in all its
details to still larger committee, and
whatever is deemed advisable is done
in each case--sometimes the man is
given work, sometimes he is sent to an
institution; but in every case whatever
is thought to be the best treatment is
administered Professor Peabody
sums up the result Of this system by
saying that in Dresden, with 100000
inhabitants, the superintendence is SO
thorough that oaso of critical want
is unknown and unrelief is impossible,
and that beggary has become crime
which is practiced only by stealth.
Paupers half clad in rags suffering in
the winter weathea are not to be seen
in the city at all. 1t is sure, too, that
every case Of acute want is relieved
Is this system applicable to our Amer
lean conditions?

where else all would be dreary. 1t
was the little acts of commiseration,
the little deeds of pity, the ever pres
ent consideration for the poor and
heavy laden, the deep understanding
of human suffering and human weak
ness, that renders the life of Christ so
tranescendent In its beauty and
grandeur. If we would be like Him,
if we wish to profess to follow Him,
we must initiate His pity and love for
the lowly and meek--His tenderness
to the oppressed, His benignity to all.

Savior. Let peace and good will to-
ward man, I'LL every heart.

Yesterday morning at an early hour
the property man of the Bills Boot"
company, Peter Cody, was robbed in
his,room at the Hotel Behler of pair
OF diamond studs worth about. S35, a
pair OF gold cuff buttons, and pawn
tickets for gold watch and diamond
ring, which had been pawned in New
York. The articles were all in little
bag in Cody's room. He awoke and
found man moving about, and called
to him, asking what he wanted. The
intruder apologized, saying he had got
teninto the wrong room, and left. As
there was no bolt on the door and it was
not fastened, Cody accepted this expla-
nation as plausible. When he got up
he discovered his loss.
He recognized the man in his room
as a man no had seen the day before,
and on inquiry 1t was concluded that
this man was a circus actor who had
registered at the hotel the day before
under the name OF Robert Tutso, as
near as the name on the register could
be made out. All efforts oil the police

convenience and receive their position
in the column. Each club turning out
will have the power to appoint one
assistant marshal, all Of whom are to be
dressed in female attire and ride horses
