Otis Skinner.

The advanced sale of seats for the engagement of Otis Skinner at the Opera-house next Tuesday night al ready indicates an unusual maniies- tation of interest in the success of this sterling actor. We doubt whether the history of the American stage has a parallel to the brilliant success which Mir. Skinner won in two widely varying characters dur ing the first fortnight of his career as a star. His Chicago engagement was q magnificent triumph, both in Il financial and artistic sense
 His audience comprised the fashion, culture and intellect of the Worlds Fair city. Among the many tributes of admiration paid him by the scholarly newspaper critics, the fol- lowing is from the Chicago Herald:
 "Aside from all consideration of the plays in which he appeared and of their character, good or bad, it is q gratifying fact that Mir. Skinner has, within the fortnight, justified his claim to stellar honors No man ever yentured more boldly in charac- ters so entirely dissimilar as De Grammont' and '.Triboulet. Mr. Skinner succeeded by virtue of his versatile art. The test was severe, but he triumphed, and the triumph was all the more conspicuous for the reason that neither one of the char acters assumed could ever excite love or admiration on their own account. "Mr. Skinner's most sanguine frinds could not have expected greater success than he has achieved. His touch proves true, firm and satisfying throughout the entire range of feeling expressed by the gallant courier and the vengeful clown. It would have been small wonder if at the outset his stellar career his technical grasp had failed at some point, but nothing of the sort occurred. In touch and technic, as the musician calls it, he was sur prisingly correct and artistic. His dramatic instinct and long experi- ence held him steady in the most adversely trying situations. As for the interpretation, it comes to him chiefly and conspicuously in the romantic and serious phases Of character. His comedy Is delicate and we'll turned, but his sterlin

ESCAPED DEATH.
Just as an Engine Reached Jack Drenon the Train IS Suddenly Stopped
 and His Life Saved.

A few minutes after the regular passenger on the Valley road pulled out from Redfield yesterday morning the passengers were somewhat startled, and q little later alarmed, at the violent blowing of the whistle and sudden stopping of the train. An investigation revealed the fact that Mir. Jack Drenon, formerly an employe of the Ware Liquor Co., of this city, but now living at Redlield, had, in Q state of intoxication, fallen asleep on the track. On discover ing him the engineer immediately closed the throttle and applied the air brakes, and succeeded in bringing the train to stand still. Fortunate it was that the man was not discov- cred moment later, for when the engine stopped it was so near to the slumbering man that he could have stretched forth his hand and touched the pilot. But as it was, he was re- moved from the track and his life saved, and the train moved on as before.

The Silver King.

Another small audience greeted this company at the night perform ance, when that famous drama, The Silver King, was presented. Ali our Theater-goers are familiar with the story of this play. The plot being an exceedingly strong one, but Mr. Haswin and most of his company fell far short of doing justice to the characters in which they as- sumed, and there was scarcely q redeeming feature in the whole cast. While the small audience might have to q great extent disheartened the company, still we do not think with q crowded house, the play would not have been materially improved with such people as those Mir. Haswin has collected together.

NEW YORK PRESS CLUB
Elects Officers Today and Considerable Ex
 citement Prevails.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The New York Press Club is in the throes of its annual election today and around its headquarters there is as much ex- eitement as might have been wit messed in some of the most closely contested precincts at the recent elee- tion. There are three strong tickets in the field, but each are headed with the name of Foster Coats, the bril- liant editor Oi the Commercial Adver- tiser, and whose syndicate writings have been translated into almost every tongue, for the high position of President, so that he is already elected in advance. This is an honor never before paid to a member of the organization. Upon the first or regular ticket the name of Murat Halstead, the veteran ex-Cincinnati editor, appears as candidate for Vice President. The polls opened at 10 o'clock and will close at '.

TRANS-MISSISSIPPIC CONGRESS-
Its Opening Today Was Not so Favorable Nor as Largely Attended
 Expected.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26.-Not half as many delegates as had been expected are here to attend the Trans-Nlissis- sippi Congress, which opened at noon. The absence of the delegates appointed from California and other remote points was explained by the refusal of the railroads to grant special round trip rates. The congress has been called to discuss question affecting the interests of the people in the territory lying west of the Mississippi and which may be the subject of legislation by the United States Congress. These ques- tions include the remonitezation of silver, the irrigation of arid and other lands. the disposition of Indian and public lands, the Nicaragua canal, the improvement of Western rivers and harbors, National bank rupt law, mining laws, the admis
 sion of Territories to Statehood and anti-option legislation. There are many people of National reputation among the delegates. In the Colo rado delegation are Congressman Lafe Pence and Miss Phoebe Couzins. Wyoming sends State Engineer FL wood Mead, President of the National Irrigation Congress. From Illinois comes the noted champion of irrigation, William F. Smythe. Ex- Congressman Thomas M Patterson, of Colorado, and ex-Goy. Antony, of

Preventive for Hog Cholera

Owing to the prevalence of
hog cholera Of late years by
which our farmers have met with
much pecuniary loss, Truth ap-
piled to Mr.. Charles Schiller, Of
DeSoto parish, one of the most
successful raisers of hog and
hominy in this State and who is
known as a remarkably intelli-
gent and progressive farmer, for
the remedy employed by him in
checking the ravages of the fatal
disease in question and in an
swer received the following:
KEACH1E, La, March 10, 1894.
Editor Truth:
Dear Sir-According to prom
Use made you at Calhoun last
August, / send you below my
preventive for hog disease, COM
monty called cholera.
To two gallons Of finely chop
ped polkr00t add one gallon of
water; boil until we'll done. Mix
some meal or wheat bran with it
and let cool. Then let the hogs
eat as much as they choose.
A twenty-five gallon pot hold
ing two-thirds root and one-third
water will be sufficient for say 80
hogs as one dose. Repeat the
dose for three or four weeks.
Polkroot should be used from
the middle of March to middle of
May, it being almost worthless
later in the season. Be certain
that the polkroot tea is strong. /
have used the remedy for five
years with perfect success.
With kindest regards.

The rain storms we had here
fronl1 o'clock, Monday, until
Tuesday morning, seem to have
been general, as far as heard
from, over all the States in this
immediate section. The rainfall
at Camden measured II inches,
and the Ouachita there on Tues
day promised to be higher than
ever before known. All the
creeks and mountain streams in
Arkansas were on a flood boom,
and frequent washouts entirely
suspended railroad traffic. A big
rise in the Arkansas river may
now be looked for.

His Levee Finished.

Realizing the truth and apt
ness ofthe old adage to the effect
that Jove helps only them who
help themselves, Mr.. Cicero O.
BridgeP, after a bitter experience
of two overAows in succession,
about the middle of last August
set himself to work to build his
own dirt lines of defense against
the annual onslaught Of the de-
youring waters, and he has we'll
succeeded.
After working faithfully and
energetically for seven months,
and after an expenditure of
si4eO, ne has f,nished y private
levee around q part of his place
that will absolutely protect 14O
acres from the highest Of the last
three overdows. This levee is
27-10 miles in length, and in it
are IL stations which will aver
AOa q 3.1() foot in hAirht. 81 to %
feet base, q feet crown, and 100
feat long. The balance Of his
levee is Of approved strength in
base and crown, and will average
in height from ! to 6 feet.
The engineering work was
done BY Mr.. r. F. Humble, Par,
ish Surveyor, who deserves much
credit for his accuracy in estab-
fishing heights and levels for tie

Tried CarbOlic Acid.

A friend of ours, on the other
side of the river not far from
here, has a good many hogs, and
among them that dreaded dis
ease, hog cholera, frequently
ravages, causing him considera-
lille loss and much worry. The g.
other day.. a Stranger passing
through the country told him
that a tablespoonful of crude car
bolic acid in milk was a sure
cure. Our friend, glad to find a
cure for the hithertO-considered
incurable disease, at ohce &C.
ceptrd the remedy, and wrote to
DR.. VanHorn here tor a pint OF
the stuff, accompanying the Or
der with this question: "WiIl a
tablespoonful of crude carbolic
acid KILL anything9" The doctor
sent the acid and wrote in an
swer: eyes. A tablespoonful of
crude carbolic acid will kill ANY
THING" Our friend, though,
thought he would risk the ex-
pertinent on three of bis afflicted
porkers, and proceeded to adj
minister the prescribed dose to
them. After he had drenched
the first hog and let him up, he
turned hisattention to the second
one. BY this time thSfirst hog
was dead; and by the time he
got through with the third one,
the second one was ditto. The
third victim lost about as little
time as his predecessors in join
ing the big majority. Our friend
now sayssthat he is satisfied on
two points: One, that crude car
bolic acid will KILL; the other,
that crude carbolic acid will CURE
cholera, and that the stranger
was right; for, when he got
through the pbysicing process,
every cholera germ was killed,
and the hogs were-dead. But
he don't think. he will try that
remedy any more.
