Mr.. Digby Bells debut as star at the
head cf his opera company IN Harry B.
Smith and the Julian Edwards comic
opera "Iupiter" IS the present sensation
in New York. At every performance
PaEners Theatre is crowded from the
orchestra to the gallery not seat being
uroccupied after the curtain goes up on
tile beautiful first acts scene. Not since
the DAYS OF the ''Mikado" or Pinafore"
has an opera been so favorably received
as Jupiter" the music never failing to
receive from twenty to thirty encores at
every performance, an evidence of popu-
larity with the public. While the book
is exceedingly clever it contains an inter-
esting and well told story. Mrs. Digby
Bell whoi is one of cleverest comedienes
on the comic opera stage plays dual role
of the King and the Cobbler, two of the
most humorous creations ever credited
this popular artist. The staging of
"Tuplter' IS more in the form of a
spectacular production and is the most
elaborate since the days of the "Black
Crook" The costumes designed by
Capt, Alfred Thomson of London are
beyond question the most gorgeous ever
conceived by this clever artist. The
two scenes are gems of scenic art, the
first being street in Rome while the
second act is Mount Olympus. The
costuning Of this act s,rpasses any
former effort seen upon the stage.
The one hundred and odd people who
take part in this act are each dressed
to represent the different Gods and
Goddesses. Jupiter possesses more
novelties than usually fall to the lot of
comic opera, among them being Roman
Patrol wagon, an Olympian Elevator
and a Roman Hanson cab.
A special matinee will be given on
Decoration Day for the out of town public
and seats can be secured by mail, tele-
phone or wire.
The night performances are over in
time for those living at distance to
catch the night trains.

Concerning the ss ssGhosts I'm the
Meth odfst Church.

| Editor Passalc CITY Rec0xa:
DEAR SIR-In your issue OF May IA
under the head of "Ghosts, | ind the
| following statement:
"a serious question agitates the Meth.
odist Congregation this week. Wnat ana
who were the agents of the sp1rltuiistlc
rappings, and strange subdued unearthly
groans, that disturbed the services last
Sunday Evening
| was present on that occasion out
heard no rappings nor groans. But l
suppose was so deeply interested IN the
sermon as to be unconscious OF all sur
rounding circumstances
1t may be however that the sermon on
the Ten Virgins, which was delivered Dy
the eloquent pastor with even more tnan
ordinary clearness ands fervor, produced
in some hearer., or hearers, OF h1gn tenn.
permanent, who have not been unmindtul
of the solemn proclamation that has been
issued by those who claim to be the
wise. spoken of in Daniel XII, 10, where
it is said. "
Many shall be purified and made
white and tried, but the wicked shall
do wickedly; and none OF the wicked
shall understand"
Some of whom have demonstrated
from Scripture prophesy that the end OF
the world or the Gospel dispensation and
the second coming of Christ will take
place before the close of the present
century, and one has published in the
New York 7rl6Nne that it will occur on
the fifth day of March, I8o6-about the
ninth hour by Jerusalem time, which is
twenty-one minutes to one o'clock noon
in London. This will be the first stage
of Christ's advent in the air to raise de-
ceased saints from their graves, and to
translate IA, 900 living christians to the
heavens without dying
And when the pastor so vividly de-
scribed the sounding of the trumpet and
the sending forth of His angels to gather
together His elect that two carpenters
may be working at the same bench and
one instantly taken and the other left;
and the husband and wife may be Sit
ting at the breakfast table, and the wife
may be instantly and imperceptably re-
moved and nowhere in cellar or garret
to be found, some one was so powerfully
impressed as unconsciously to make some
physical manifestation of the internal
emotion produced by the magnificent
scene described.
Those who remember the Mlllerite ex--
citement of I84o-IS43, when many
arrayed themselves in white robes and
awaited on hill and mountain tops the
certain coming of Christ, ought not to be
easily excited by the announcements of
modern prophets. For one, / expect,
when / die, to go and be with Christ,
where He is. to behold His glory, but l
have no expectation of living with Him
in His visible presence on this earth !;
and when He comes to judge the world
in righteousness l expect to appear
with Him i'll glory"

Courage Crystalized.

Mornay Williams Esq, a
member of the New York Bar
Association, addressed a large
and enthusiastic male audience on
the Subject of Courage in the Old
City Hall last Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. David Carlisle, one of the di-
rectors, had charge of the services.
The contrast was drawn by the
speaker in his remarks between
what was considered courage in
ancient history, when physical
strength was predominant, with
the present, when to do a brave
act and know no danger was not
courage, but to be conscious of
peril and have the nerve power to
perform the obligation, was the
correct application of true courage.
He pleaded with his hearers to
have manly courage to accept
the Lord Jesus Christ as their
Saviour, as his life and early
death was one of unfiuching cour-
age. He knew. the future, and for
our transgrcssions endured the
cross dispising the shame, and is sci
down at the right hand of God te
make intercession for all who viii
come unto him.

The "Record" in Politics.

The RECORD has the right tone
and is becoming better known
every week. Compliments are
profuse. We propose some dec1d-
ed improvements in the near
future. Politics will be active this
summer and fall and the RECORD
is in the field in the interests OF
true Republlcanism both State and
municipal. Republican Passalc
should be governed by republicans.
Office holders should be partisan
enough not to be counselled by
mugwumps on democrats. 1t is
a matter of record that when the
democrats were in power republl-
cans were rigidly excluded.
Turning from municipal to state
affairs. we believe that by properly
organizing and arousing the
lukewarm republicans to the per-
formance of their duty, the affairs
of the state can be placed in the
control of the party which has
always labored in behalf OF the
best interests of the nation.

Organize Clubs.

There is no better way to fire
the hearts of young Republicans
than through the club system, no
better means of keeping the bon
fires lighted for presidential cam
paigns. -,
Republicans must rapidly be-
come aware of the fact that apres1-
Dental conflict is upon the people
and that the presidency OF the
United States is in danger. The
Republican league is a strong
weapon with which to fight the
enemy. The State Convention is
near at hand, and Republicans
should make haste to organize
and select delegates to the con-
vention.

For Police Judge
Major j. B. Hoffman.

In selecting a Police Judge we
believe the Mayor cannot do better
than appoint Maj. J. B. Hoffman,
an upright and highly respected
citizen. 1t is rumored that it is
his purpose so to do. That the
Major will qualify for the position,
there is no doubt, and his appoint
ment would meet with the approv-
al of nine-tenths of the population.
The selection of SO good citizen
and Republican to SO important a
position would be step in the
right direction.

What is being done toward the
proper observance of Memorial
Day in Passaic. The memory of
those trying times Of long ago
grows more vivid as each recurr-
ing spring decorates the landscape
with natures choicest colors.
The passenger who shot at the
train-robber who ordered him to
hold up his hands ought to be given
free pass for life on every rail
road in the world. He certainly
deserves it for having acted SO
contrary to all known precedents.
Sullivan County is a good field
for missionary work, we should
judge from the following para
graph in the Liberty Register:
"The fishing season in Sullivan
county opened resplendent and
brisk last Sunday. The attend
ance at the village churches last
Sunday morning was noticeably
small. Although these two facts
seem to kindly 'jibe' pretty well
we do not wish to link them to-
gether, and yet. and yet, and yet"

Mr.. Geo. r. Layher, formerly Wa
bash agent at Keytesville station,
but who for the past few years has
been the local freight agent for the
Wabash, at Mexico, Mo-, has met
with another promotion, necessita-
ting his removal to Kansas City.
Mr.. Layher, it will be remembered,
married a Keytesville young lady,
Miss Belle Gordon. The Wabash
never had a more affable, efficient or
more popular agent at Keytes-
vile, than Geo. r. Layher,
and Mrs. Layher also shared
the high esteem in which her hus-
band was held by our citizens. Dur
ing their residence at Mexico they
have also made many friends, ,and last
week they were presented with a
handsome solid silver service by a
delegation of citizens representing the
business men OF Mexico. Some pref
ty oratory was indulged in on the oc-
casion, Mr.. j. G.. Trimble making the
presentation speech, which was feel
ingly responded to by Mr.. Layher.
Certainly life is worth living for the
possession of such friendship. The
COURIER congratulates Mr.. and Mrs.
Layher both upon the receipt of so
appreciable a souvenir, as solid sill
yer service, and also upon Mr.. Lay
hers promotion.

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT.
If the Offenders We're Prosecuted
They Could be Landed in the
PeHitentiary.

1t is matter of deep regret that
such characters are found in this
community, but they are here never
theless, and unless they mend their
ways it is only question of time as
to when they will find the front enter
'ance to the penitentiary.
The law is intended to afford pro-
lection alike to whites and blacks,
and to meet out punishment alike to
the evil-doer, regardless of color.
But it seems that there are few
young hoodlums in Keytesville, and
white boys at that, who think that a
"nigger" must be entirely subservient
to their carnal desires.
A 14-year-old colored girl is en-
ployed at the home of the editor of
the COURIER to do the housework.
Last Sunday evening she wenth home,
but started back to our house, where
she sleeps, about 8 O'Clock. Her
mother sent her little brother along
with her, and at a point near the
rear end of the Peoples dry goods
store, she was set upon by a gang of
young toughs, she says, about six
in number, three of whom took hold
of her and attempted to take her
into the alley back of the store. One
of the lustful young chaps pounced
upon the girls little brother, who
after receiving several kicks and cuffs,
set up howl and started for home
and reported to his mother what
had happened. In the meantime one
of Keytesville's citizens, a grown
man, heard the girl screaming, who
by holding on to the sidewalk, man
aged to keep from being dragged in
to the alley. The "citizen" rushed
to the rescue and persuaded the
young would-be rapists to let the
girl GO. They did SO. She got up
and sought the protection of Deputy
Marshal Curran in coming back up
the street.
The girls mother came up town as
fast as possible after the little boy
reached home. The girl, in the in
terval, had come to her room and
gone to bed, but got up and told her
mother of what had happened.
The mother resolved to swear out
warrants for the arrest ofthe young
fiends, but under threats of violence
was intimidated into keeping
"mum," at last so far as taking any
legal action is concerned.
Most of the boys are of good fami-
lies and it is only for the sake of their
parents that we withhold theirnames
from publication.
Again we say that unless these
young rascals mend their ways they
will, sooner or later, wearsstripes in
some penal institution.
The statue regulating their dis
graceful conduct OF Sunday night
provides punishment orsuch offens-
es not exceeding five years in the
penitentiary.

Last Chris tmas eve night, l.. S.
Harris, negro, burglarized the store
of Coll Bros, in Missouri township.
Harris made his escape, but it has
been known for some time by Sheriff
Anderson that the negro was in
Howard county and he was recently
located at Roanoke, where Deputy
Sheriff Dempsey arrested the dusky
burglar last Friday, and brought
him to Keytesville. He was taken
before Squire s. p. Ewing, and in
default of $500 bail was committed
to Jail to await the action of the
grand jury at the coming April term
of circuit court. Harris helped him
self to several articles ofmerchandise
at Coll Bros store, and had on a
pair of overshoes, a shirt and a hat
he had stolen from Coll Bros. at the
time of his arrest. His chances are
first-class to get a job at the peniten-
tiary after circuit court convenes.
