Mabel raire at the academy.

A fair audience greeted the charming
and versatile Mabel Paige and her we'll
selected company at the Academy of
Music in the popular comedy, Little
Ferret" last night. This remarkable
enid actress is so well and so favorably
known to the theatre. going public in
Roanoke that words Of praise, how.
ever we'll merited, are useless.
The company is Just finishing q sue
cessful season and will mold the
boards at the Academy this
week at popular prices. The
support. always good, is really better
than usual and it is noticeable that
every member of the troupeis an artistic
OF no mean ability. 1t was gratifying
fact to the audience, that, although last
night WAS very warm, the ventilation at
the Academy is so perfect that every
one in the house was comfortable and
very few of the ladies used their fans.
To night one of the most popular
comedies in the Mabel Paige repotoire,
'Chic's Oath" will be presented and

WILL CHANGE THEIR TUNES.

One OF the most astonishing phases Of
party journalism is the avidity with
which an organ will print accusations
against the opposing candidate for the
nomination in its own party, giving
them the widest possible currency, and
then after his nomination with equal
and unblushing effrontery damn mis-
praises down the threats OF its readers.
If there is one thing axiomatic in
politics, it is that charges, which lie
masked until the heat OF the campaign.
are so largely false and so inevitably
distorted that only the heat and malice
OF campaign can give them currency.
The present campaign presents a
marked example OF this strange pine.
nomenon and two short mouths from
now the opponents and circulators of
the ISLANDERS OF Colonel O'Ferrall will
crook their merry elbows and twang
their tuneful Tyres to the p;eans of mis-
praise.

Result of a Drunken Quarrel.

CARLISLE. Pa, June 19.-At Church
town. "A small village below this city, an
alteration took place between Frank Hos
Ter. who was intoxicated, and IA man
named Iell. During the melee Hosler
pulled his revolver and fired, the bullet en-
tering the left side and coming out of the
back of Samuel Eckert, an aged gentle
man who was standing near by. After
the shot was fired Hosler fed and was
found in grain field near the scene of the
tragedy. He was brought to this city and
committed to Jail to await further results

ROANOKE, VA, JUNE 20, 1898.
GIVE Us AN EARLY DATE.

There will be regular called meet
ing of the Democratic executive com
mittee tonight at o'clock in the Office
of Payne, Shelor & Co., to determine
the time and manner of selecting dele
gates to the State Democratic conven-
ton.
1t is the sense of large majority of
the Democratic party OF Roanoke that
its delegates be elected at an early date.
1t is in fact the duty of all the cities in
the State to choose early.
The larger centers are frequently
looked to to lead the sentiment of their
sections as to candidates and policies,
and Roanoke would be recreant to the
duties ncumbent on the most progress
sive city in Virginia did she not come TO
the front early in the fight with state
ment Of her preferences. 1t is expected
of her and it should come.
With we'll toward 5000 Democratic
voters on her lists the action OF no city
in Virginia will attract more attention
than that of Roanoke. To have effect the
earlier the date the better. Four.ffths
OF the delegates to the State convention
will have been chosen by July 90 and
probably majority by July Is. We
feel confident that the executive com
mittee, intrusted, as it is, with the
vital duty Of fostering Democratic in
terests in Roanoke, will see TO it that
the Democratic delegation from Roam
oRe do not keep in at the rear of the pro.
oession, lone shot after the battle is
over.
Move us right to the front rank,
gentlemen of the com mittee, and let US
have voice in the contest. What is
the matter with July 10?

Mir. Blaine surprises his physi- cians as well as his friends by the remarkable tenacity with which he clings to his life. His disease re- mains mystery to all but the family and attending physicians. The latter decline without express authority of the family to divulge the nature of the complaint which has now kept the patient continu- ously in bed for four or five weeks, with constantly diminishing strength and frequent sinking spells threatening immediate dissolution. One physician, who has treated Blaine in the past, said: "The real nature of Blaine's illness will proba- bly only be made known when the certificate of the health office is made public, and I fear that will occur before long.

Rev. MT. Chase.

The congregation in the NJ. E. church in Prescott was treatei to a sermon, or rather a lecture, or Sun day evening last, that for pure mor- ality, sans religion, is seldom heard from the pulpit in Prescott. The text of the reverend gentleman was from that portion of the deca- lOgue which reads, Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy r,eigh- bor.' The preacher said, in the commencement of his discourse. that there were many ways to bear false witness without actually speak ing: shrug of the shoulder, a wink of the eye, an elongation ol' the face-in short, many ways, without the utterance of . word, were snffi- cient to cause the virus of islander to find lodgment in the breast of hIm or her whom it is the wish of the slanderer to poison.
 Gossip is another mode of slander- ing ones neighbor. 1t is said.s continued the preacher, sthat gos- sip IS the peculiar province of the weaker sex, but the sterner of the human biped is equally guilty of this mode of detraction.v This habit of hackbiting is seemingly in to the human family, and when one is found free from such vice, he or she is looked upon as a rarl avis, phenomenon in society.
 The evils resulting from even this ale gossip is immense. Ono in- stance the preacher cited, was the 1 ieath of man, the slayer giving | he reason for the killing, too much 1 .attling. The tattler is the bane of he society in which he lives, and l when it becomes too warm for him, le strikes his tent, and sets LID his leyilish trade at another place to .oIson its pure atmosphere. Of all l he sins and wickedness of the hu- nan family, none is greater oE Ele,re amnable than the slanderer. He loats in the wretehedness he causes; IS smile is 2 falsehood; his polite ess q cheat, and his whole person he treads along the paths of life, 2 walking lie.
 The church was well filled, and le listeners othe lecture were we'll leased, if their marked attention ! as evidence of that fact. The reverend gentleman is an ' lept at word painting, and the ! 'ople of Prescott are beginning to q 'lieve they have a David Swing in A cir midst, and that it is not neoss- [ ry to journey to Chicago Or u 'ooklyn to hear good sermon or is profound lecture. e,

Our ex-mayor indulges in little
 bit of original philosophy in his i farewell message to the council in
 speaking of the cost of the removal of the water works, by stating that
 the tax payers did not have to go
 down in their pockets to foot the
 expense of it. If the tax payers
 have not been going down in their
 pockets to meet the payment of in-
 terest and principal due on the city
 hall bonds, it will be a pleasant
 surprise to them to learn of it. as
 they have generally been laboring
 under that impression. Now, the
 city hall was sold to the same tax
 payers, those ot school district
 number one, and the proceeds, re-
 ceived by them as city tax
 payers from themselves, as school
 district tax payers, has been invest ed mostly in the removal Of the
 water works. If this is not getting
 as near the pockets of the tax pay eIs as 1t Is possible to dc, then we
 are poor judge of financial trans actions. What our worthy ex-
 mayor has to say of the brilliant success achieved during his admin 
 istration, by the city council. in re-
 gard to obtaining water supply for the city, we have no criticism to make. The scene of desolation and ruin on south Montezuma street speaks more forcibly on that sub lect than any words. As to whether the investment made in the removal of the water works and the pros. peetlng for water on Goose Flat has been a wise and iudicious one. We leave for tax payers 10 figure out for themselves. We have no personal feeling against single member of the recently retired officers of the city government. We have per formed duty demanded of us by the public in eriticising their off ] eial management of certain affairs 1 connected with the city. In doing l so We have endeavored to confne l ourselves to legitimate criticism of 1 official acts, and not from any per. sonal motives, as we have had no l personal grievance whatever against l any member of the city council. 1 While we have thus criticised their actions in some matters, we are also willing to give them full credit for what they have done, and in justice to Mayor Howard and those con nected with him during the four years of his incumbency of the office of mayor, will state that the inan- cial system adopted during this pc riod is very much more satisfactory than the one in existence prior to that time.

Gunboats Used as Fsrrvboat..

Passengers by ferry between Brook
 lyn and New York are probably some.
 times not aware that during heshort
 voyage they are standing upon the deck of a former vessel of war.
 When the struggle of 1S6l-5 broke out the Union was almost without a navy and was compelled to impru- wise her fleets. The department seized fit craft, or those which might be made fit, wherever it could find them. Among those taken were 8 number of then familiar vessels on the South, Wall, Fulton and other ferries. The implication of the then IS not altogether exact, because some of them arc still in use here having returned to duty with the company after the conclusion of peace.
 These improvised gunboats did good service. Some of them perished gallantly in the conflict. Of course one of the ships of the new navy would make short work of all of them in squadron, but in the cir cumstances they had to meet chiefly mprovised rivals, and they did their iuty well. Brooklyn Eagle
