Attraction Mt The Richmond Theatre Last
Night Cancelled After the Performance.

DR.. Frank w. Carver and his company
In THE Scout" attracted small au-
dlence to the Richmond Theatre last
evening. The play Is supposed to de-
pict scenes I'm the wild and woolly West
and to give the educated Fasteners an
idea OF the rough life OF the inhabitants
Of that inconsequential part OF the
United States. but the sioux Indians,
cowboys Mexican yaqueros' and West

while all this was going on, the au-
dfence incidentally discovered that the
play was about as rank as any that
has ever been seen in Richmond. AS

came more impressed with the
vgeness of the production, and when
ar last the curtain dropped on the last
act those present drew sigh OF rellet,

the mastery address delivered by Cover
nor Jones, OF Alabama, and the stirring
impromptu remarks of Colonel w. Gordon
McCabe, of Petersburg, who In glowing
terms paid his respects 10 the orator OF
