Everybody connected with that COM

A CHINESE THEATRE

Opened In New York Celestial Actors and
How They Render II Drama.
NeIO YOrh Sunday Pres,
The new Chinese theatre at Nos. 5
and 7 Doyer street, just around the cor
ner from Chatham Square, opened with
great eclat yesterday. This is the first
Chinese theatre over located in this city,
and the occasion was an event to be
long remembered by tho celestial citi-
2ens OF the Oriental quarter.
Chu Fong is the manager lie is an
intelligent looking young man, but ac-
'cording to his own admissions he doesn't
know much about the place himself yet.
1t is run by the Chinese Concert Com
pany, consisting OF five Monaghan mo.
nopolists, and will be open every even
ing in tho week. On Sunday nights
there will be sacred concert" which
shows that the almond eyed proprietors
have learned something about Ameri-
can law.
Last night tho play Mr.. Chu Fong
said, was called "Tho Old King" II
was about u rebellion which took place
something like 5000 years ago, wherein
young man had himself proclaimed
king, and after stubborn war was
finally defeated and sent to the grave,
where all unsuccessful rebels rest in
peace. The play began at 9 o'clock in
tho evening and at 1880 Mr.. Chu Fong
said he hoped it would be finished by
1880.
The play must be seen to be apprc-
ciated. There is u platform to the the
afro, but no curtains. Two specimens
OF Oriental tapestry, glittering with
spanglos and radiant with colors, hung
over tho r. U. L. and L. U. Il. in lieu OF
doors or wings. Out from behind one
OF these tapestries came the performers,
singly or BY droves, aud in behind the
other they went when their little dia-
logue was finished.
A business looking fellow, with a
drawn sword, came on the stage when
it was time for any one to 60 and es-
cortod him off at tho swords point. If
it was time for several 10 go oil at once
aeveralo OF these fierce looking swords
men came Oh and tho actors stayed not
on tho order Of their going, but went ut
once.
There was one who evidently repre-.
scented Chinese old maid, and she did
it to perfection. There was one who
might have been meant for the young
rebel king. lie was glorious in long
flowing garment Of red, green and gold
On his head was a tremendous head.
piece OF wirework surmounted with
roses which was ut least four feet in
diameter. Rising out OF this were two
feathers at least ten feet long, which
made most startling plume. He was
a giddy fellow, and he knew 1t.
There was an actor or actress who
probably represented princess, Her
cheeks were red as paint could make
them. She was attired very like tho
rebel, but was evidently his enemy.
She engaged in single combat with him
and dealt mortal blow, at which he
obediently went out through ono oil tho
tapestries, us it Is considered disgrace
for any well bred Chinese actor 10 die
on the stage.
They danced and posed in the most
approved Chinese style.

wurELNc. APRIL 3, 1903.


Something very serious may happen
in national politics growing out of a
difference OF opinion concerning Geor-
gia politics. 1t appears to be untrue
that no man in Georgia outside Of the
Hon. Hoke Smith, the Hon. Dipk Bolts,
tho Hon. Pod Dismuko and the Hon.
Potadam Sans will consent to accept oil
fee.
Two men want to be United States
marshal, and here is where the trouble
begins. Secretary Hoke Smith has
slated a man. So has Senator Gordon.
Secretary Smith says he would resign
his portfolio rather than see Senator
Gordons man get the place. Senator
Gordon presents his compliments to
the honorable secretary Of the interior
and begs to assure him that he feels the
same way about it, adding that If secre-
tary Smiths man gets tho nomination
he will SEQ that the senate turns him
down.
Senator Gordon has gone out OF the
eenate before this and the wheels OF
government continued to 60 round.
The country has never yet been sub
jected to the strain of Secretary Hoko
Smith going out OF the cabinet, Vowed
in its best light 1t is distressful situa-
ton which may well fill with dark fore
holdings the man who truly loves his
country.

Conviction of Street Car Rioters,

Conviction of Street Gar Rioters.
A Marshall county jury has done
what it could to vindicate the good
name OF that good county, The four
men charged with riot at the street car
company's barn have been convicted,
The riotous demonstration was in
tended as forcible expression of sym
patty with the strikers, The law does
not allow expressions Of this character,
and the Marshall county jury, after
hearing the evidence and being con-
WINGED that the men are guilty, stands
by the law,
1t is to be regretted that tho con-
victed men placed themselves in antag-
onism to a law which is supremely
necessary to the we'll being OF society
but since they did so, it is reassuring to
know that they are to be punished for
their olIense, Business questions are
not to be discussed and determined with
force.
Men who have taken another Wow,
holding that anything was justiaable
that would embarrass tho company,
have resented tho good advice that be-
sides doing wrong they were likely to
get into trouble, They listened rather
to bad advice and followed their own
inclinations, and now the trouble is
upon them.
They did not help the strike, and now
the strike cannot help them, 1t is a
lesson which should not be wasted.
