ROANOKE, VA. MAY s. 1894.

The suggestion made by the con-
tractor in charge OF the street cleaning
department is one to which every citi-
zen should pay attention. The people
should also be reminded that to insure
the neat and cleanly appearance of our
city the scraps of paper and articles of
rubbish should not be thrown into the
streets or back lots, there to be taken
up by the wind and blown all over the
town. Roanoke's business section pre-
sents very untidy appearance in this
respect, and it is apparent that some
precautionary steps should be taken.
An ash can should be secured and the
rubbish deposited in that until it can be
carted away and burned

A sTINGER FOR COLONEL BRECK1N.
RIDGE.

Henry Watterson has spoken Hereto
fore his able journal, the Louisville
(Ky.) Courier Journal has mainta
strict neutrality regarding the case of
Congressman W. @. P. Breckinridge
but Sunday he broke the silence and
pronounced his views in the following
strong editorial:
The situation in the Ashland district,
unfortunate as it is Unprecedented
makes it imperative that every journal
which has the good of the party at
heart, which cherishes the honor OF its
State and which appreciates its obliga.
Its power against the reelection of Col :.
w. G. =. Breckinridge
We do not underrate wrat he has
done for his party and the cause Of
tariff reform in the past. But even If
his ability for future usefulness were
not destroyed by the miserable scandal
which has darkened his name, the party
could not afford to accept his services
at the price it would be forced to pay.
1T is idle to attempt to obscure the
issue with sophistical distinction be-
tween Colonel Brecdinridge's pu bile and
private life. The case has gone far
beyond the possibility of that. The
question simply is, do the people of
Kentucky propose to send as a repre-
sentative to Congress the man whom
Colonel Breckenridge confessed him
self to be in his testimony before q
Washington jury? 1t is q question
which transcends the limits of tho Ash
land district and of kentucky itself. 1t
Is question in which the people of the
entire nation are deeply interested.
That part OF hi speech Yesterday de =
voted to the scandal in which he has
inquired were better passed over in pity.
1t is strange exhibition of marvellous
etfrontory, wretched taste, ana mentally
and morally obliquc casuietry.
Every Democratic paper, every fair
minded citizen and voter cannot but
agree with the above utterances. While
the Colonel's ability must be recognized
and his public work as q member OF
congress appreciated, yet the party, the
state or the country cannot put itseli
on record as supporting or in auywise
commencing the life this man has beer
leading or the acts of immortality he &C
knowledges being guilty Of.
Colonel Breckinridge's plea, that M
man who has been sent TO Congress
from that section or other sections has
been sinless, is without weight. 1t /.
the outward life only upon which We
are allowed to cha racterize a man, and
such fragrant wrong doing brought W
against him is euch as must be discoun-
tenanced. Good sense should have die
tated to Colonel Breckenridge his vol
untary retirement from public life
Refusing to do this, he should be uD
tremendously turned down" by hi.

keeper of this light, old Capt. Van

BILE in the play of 1.-The Coast Guard"
both in name and quaintness. He Is an
odd character and is we'll known to peo-
pie who have visited the lighthouse as
being an open-hearted and frank old
gentleman, ever willing to render serv-
ice when requested. The coast guard
station, where the scenes of this play
are enacted. is situated not far from
Point Breeze lighthouse, and the station
is manned by crew of men, under the
employ of the United States governs
ment, who have shown themselves time
and time again to be heroes in every
acceptation of the word. Jack Sum-
NIT, one of the members of this crew,
is a character well known along the
Jersey coast for miles. He is also rep
resented in the play of 1.-THE Coast
Guard" and Mr.. John Glendinning,
who has personally studied the original
character, will give repr presentation
OF the man himself as near as
it is possible for one man to initiate or
copy another's peculiarities and man.

actor, well-known throughout the cOun i.
try. and has been the leading man of
many prominent organizations, chief
among which may be mentioned A. NJ.

safe to predict that Mr.. Glendinning
will give capable Interpretation of the
role he enacts. The entire company
engaged for 1.-The Coast Guard" produc-

following names will attest: Frank

fact, every scene is new. every situation

every act gem, and the play deals in
pathos and comedy in equal proper
lions. The male quartette engaged
with this company is said to be one of
great merit. Each voice was carefully
selected from great number of appli-
cants for the position, and the result is
that no finer quartette has been pre-
sented to the public. The selections

1t has been generally supposed that
a Spanish sea~faring man named Chris
topher Columbus discovered America
in 1892. He first thought of landing at
Hoboken. but was induced to continue
on to Chicago i'll search of pork, which
grows there in large quantities, and is
picked as soon as it is ripe and shipped
TO Greece. 1t was Chicago belle who,
in speaking of Greece, merrlly re-
marked: Il suppose our family will
settle there as soon as papa retireS; he
is now in lard" But this is neither
here nor there. Chris knew what his
policy was. and he played 14-92 first
and won. Chicago has claimed Column
bus for its own, and gone ill to hog
things for 1894; but that will not pre-
vent w. S. Cleveland, of minstrel fame.

Christopher Columbus. The minstrel
man Is going to put his many men and
sweet singers all in gay attire of the
gallant Spaniards of that era. No; we
mean Christopher Cleveland is. The
fact is, we are so full-we mean so full
of this worlds fair inspiration-that we
do not blame William s. Columbus for
discovering that it is just the thing for
him to take US back to 1892, while
bones, tambo and the middle
man are discussing the cOnundrum
that Chris solved on board the Santa
Maria, when he ordered couple of
eggs, and the steward informed him that
there was but one egg Oh board. Chris
made the ship lay TWO. 1t has beea
asserted that Columbus disc oyered con.
undrIms. and if the warning historians
are correct, he has kept good many
guessing every since he first went in to
the discovery business. 1t has been
charged by jealous rivals that w. s.
Cleveland gets men to travel cheaper
because all the Ministries love to dress

in the line of Spanish splendor seen
since Isabella played her diamonds,

expense of sending him a-voyaging. A

Will Hold Forth at the MetrOpoli-
tan Next Week.
A good deal of interest has been
aroused in advance regarding the ap-
pearance of Nat c. Goodwin at the Met
ropolitan during the week of Nov. 5
in the new play by Augustus Thomas
called "In Mizzoura." The fame of
the play and of Mr.. GOodwin's perform
ance has preceded him. and theater
goers are prepared in advance to see
something great in an artistic point of
view in the comedians NEW depart
ure." For, as Jim Radburn, the Pike
county deputy sheriff, Mr.. Goodwin
has made vide departure from the
methods which have characterized him
in the past. He still gives his audience
plenty of food for laughter. but he adds
to this a serious vein which commands
the tear of sympathy. jim Radburn is
a combination of quaint humor and
earnestness, and to properly interpret
the part requires an equally firm
control of pathoS and humOr.
This Mr.. Goodwin has shown that
he possesses. ond in I'm Mizzoura" lie
has not only made the hit of his profess
sional career, but he has taken long
stride i'll his chosen art and proved him
self to be an actor of rare versatility. In
New York and Chicago press and pub
lie have been unable to find words
enough to express their admiration of
his work. and in both cities I'm Miz-
Zoura" is declared to be the great sue
cess of the present year. The play is
to detail. and admirably acted by a
company unusually strong for the sup
| port of a star. There are several strong
character parts besides that of Mr..
Goodwin, and all the principal members
of the company have something to do
worthy of their best efforts That In
MizZoura" will duplicate here its sue
cess in New York and Chicago there is
little ground for doubt.
