Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1893-12-19

Rev. w. B. Derrick, d. d., of New
York, lectured at Heuck's Opera House
last night, according to previous an
nouncement. The subject chosen was
twenty-five years from bondage to
freedom" and it was handled in truly
able and eloquent style by this cele-
brated negro orator. The hour at
which THE LEADER goes to press for
bids our giving anything like an ade-
quate report of it, and hence we will
not attempt it. 1t was an effort that
our entire community of both races
might we'll have listened to with profit,
and it is regretted that it was not Civ
en- much larger audience.

MONTICELLO, Dec. 10th, 1893.
Mr.. BIT. Hobbs. Editor of Leader, Br 'okhaycn,
Miss:
DEAR SIR:-I regret, and so do all our
citizens. that Mr.. Posey, the Lecturer
of the Prohibition Executive Commit
tee, should have met with such seem
ing neglect and want of appreciation
at the hands of our people.
The first disappointment here was in
no way our fault, but the second APP
pointment, on the 10th inst, was well
understood; however.unhappily chosen,
as 1t was Saturday, very busy day
with every one. The Masonic Lodge
was in session all day with annual and
regular business, the sheriff and
clerk of courts offices here crowded,
keeping those officers constantly en-
gagged, as was the case with the mer
chants and mill men, and during this
press OF business an audience COulu
not be collected, though strong efforts
were made to do 50.
/ earnestly assure you that there was
no intention of treating the Prohibi-
tionists' hOnored representative with
any lack of hospitality, or with impo
likeness. Sincerely yours,
q. A. TEUNISSON
Mr. Posey was in Brookhaven yes
terday ON his ret urn from Lawrence,
and evidently felt disappointed at
the reception accorded him in that
county by some men who are
avowed Prohibitionists, and at Month
cello in particular He knew it could
be nothing toward him personally,
and seemed puzzled whether to as
cribe it to political intolerance and
prejudice or to Indifference on the
subject of Prohibition in general. We
expect communication from him on
his Lawrence canvass for next weeks

began at once to slip. and MotOrman

danger of q collision, opened his motor up

Rank Minstrel show-Rhea Coming In
Josephine"
An aggregation travelling under the
name of NcCabe & Young's Ministries
faced the footlights at Hsrper's theatre
last night and inflicted two hours of tor
ture on an unsuspecting public. Aside
from Master Brewer, clever boy dan
Ger, and Gill Gary. who essays the SER
pentine dance, the organization is made
UP mostly OF a gang Of fim~fisms who are
travelling on their nerve. Every now and
then during the evening redeeming fea-
ture is thrown in, but On tie whole it is
too tame to assist at q patent medicine
sale on the street, much less a re fined
minstrel show.
On Monday night Mile Rbea and her
fine company will be seen at the Harpers
theatre in Albert Roland Ravens histor-
ical drama, Josephine" This superb
play has been acted by Rhes in all of the
leading American cities, and so unmis-
taxable was the popular demand for it
that Manager W. D. Loudoun (wisely it
ist beleved) determined to revive it for
the current theatrical year. All the pro-
perties, scenery and other accessories of
her magnificent revival are. it is said,
even superior to those which marked this
drama during its first memorable and pro-
ductive tour. The scene representing
the ball room of the palace of the Tuil-
leries is without doubt one of the most
elaborate stage embellishments ever OK
plotted in this country
