1t is extremely gratifying to us
all to note the recognition bestowed
upon us by theatrical people
throughout the country. The very
largest and most popular shows
employ colored performers and the
way they are received show con-
clusively that the proprletors and
managers have not overshOt the
mark in their selections. This is
one of the many roads to the ulti-
mate soloutiOn of the vexed race
problem. In this connection l
mention the Unique Quartette with
Bill Nyis farcicaI comedy Oadi
now On at Albaugh Theatre. These
young men are talented vocalist
and compose distinct feature Of
the show. They are w. 81. Tuck
er, first tenor; JOS. Moore, second
tenor Jas. E. Casey, Baritone; s.
G. Baker, bass.

honor. 1t wss great battle and
the old adage ''yOuth must be re-
served' was fulfilled to the letter.
On the same night at San Fran,
cisco Joe McAlllffe defeated Patsey

efforts to recover lost ground and
he has a host of friends who hope
he will succeed.
Charlie Turner and the Black
Pearl have been matched to fight
in San Francisco Jan. 16, for a

The great war which threatened
to wreck base ball as the national
game has happily reached an ad-

future. The various complications

The Texan Troops i'm It-RumOrs OF
Skirmishes Plentiful.
Catarino Cara and his band of revO-
lutionary followers are making it de-
cidedly unpleasant for both Mexican and
United States troops along the Rio
Grande at the present writing
The startling report was spread through
the country that since the last battle with
the Mexican reyQlutiOnists and invaders,
when several were killed and wounded
on both sides before Garza's men were
routed, the rebel leader has made bold
attempt to capture Fort Ringgold in
Texas.
An unconfrmed report reached San
Antonio of a severe battle between the
revOlutionists and Captain Hardie, of the
Sd United States Cavalry, at CarrizO.
Tex, In which IA of our soldiers were
killed.
The Mexican government is rushing
troops to the frontier. About G, 600 Mex

the border between New Laredo and
Matamoras.
1t is reported that the revolutionists
have captured Camargo, and that the
Mexican general Sandival was on the
march with 1000 men to join Cara.
There is some talk to the effect that a
general in the Mexican army has declared
for the revOlutiOnists and will march
with the soldiers in his command to iOin
the invaders.
The whole Texas border is aroused
against Cara. 1t is believed that all ths
revolutionists are in Texas
General Schofield says that if captured
Garza's men will be indicted Individually
for violating the neutrality laws and for
numbering United States soldier.
The President summoned General
SchOield to the White HOnse on the 26th

him in regard to the Garza trouble.
