"5RAMS, BRASS, AND BELLY"

Congressman Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
has lately been foaming at the mouth,
and all on account of Grover. He de-
clares that it takes more than "brains,
brass and belly" to run this government
The bowler from PENIS woods may lack
brains and belly, but he gets there ION
all fours" with a great aggregation OF
brass. AS a statesmen of this latter
variety he is hummer with horns.
The outrageous ranting of these extrem-
lists in the democratic party is what is
dragging it to the "demnition bow
vows" The present congress has made
itself by-word and a reproach to vast
majority of it's constituents. When it
ends by limitation the country Will
breathe easier. What is needed in
Washington is a set of conservative men
ready to aid the president, if his plans
are good, and if not to devise some way
to bring back financial prosperity to
country that needs it. Mere shouters
like Sibley should go home and soak
their heads.

How These Domestic Fowls Resemble
Human Beings.
From the New York Mail and Express.
"There is a good deal more that is hui
man and companionable in the domestic
hen than in those unspeakable little zoo
monkeys, which the scientists find so
interesting" declared Long Island far
mer the other day. "The hen walks
like her master; the monkey scrambles.
The hen is guided by judgement; the
wretched little simian is creature of
impulse, If Mr.. Kipling is to be believed.

WOMEN WHO ARB FIGHTERS.
THE MISSES RHYMES USED A KNIFE
ONTHE MISSES ROBERTS.
ONE VERY SERIOUSLY WOUNDED. NO
ARREST MADE AS YET-ALL ARE
PEOPLE OF GOOD SOCIAL
STANDING.
STANDING.

DOUGLAS, Jan. 3.-As a result of
a family teud, one of the most sensa-
tional and remarkable difficulties in
the history of Georgia occurred near
here Friday.
All of the parties concerned in the
difficulty are women, are Of good
standing and highly respectful lie
pareAtage.
So far as learned, on Friday last
two young ladies named Rhymes
were on their way home from Coffee
county superior court, wheD The!
met three sisters named Roberts in
the road. It seems that bitter feel>
ings have existed between the.
Rhymes and Roberts.
Juet how the difficulty started is
not known at this time, bat one of
the Misses Rhymes pulled a large
knife. and in very few minutes had
almost butchered all three of the
Roberts sisters. Two of the Misses
Roberts are very seriously and pain
fully cut, while one of them may die
from her injuries After the cutting
the Rhymes sisters continued on
their journey and the Roberts sisters
we're lett bleeding and helpless in the
road. Fortunately some of their
neighbors in passing found them and
carried them home, where they we've
given prompt medical attention.
So far the Rhymes sisters have not
been arrested. but as the officers have
been informed Of the affair their ar
rest will shortly follow. 1t is believed
here, however, that when an atteml 1t
is made to arrest them resistance may
be offered by the male members Of
the family, and further trouble is
EXP ected. The community is greatly
stirred up.

Hill and Cleveland.
the Albany Herald.

IJFfOm the Albany Herald.
Senator David B. Hill attended a state
dinner at the White House on Thursday
evening, and since then the gossips have
been busy over what the coming to.
gether of Hill and Cleveland, who have
been politically estranged for two years,
signifies.
Dame Rumor has it that Cleveland
and Hill have ''made up" and that now
the two great New York politicians are
to become fast friends and work to-
gether. After fighting one another for
several years, and dividing the demo,
cratic party of New York and of the
country into two factions, they have
broken bread together, and, to all ap-
pearances, "buried the Ratchet"
In view of the well known estrange-
ment, it is very natural that this visi.
of Senator Hill to the White House
should give rise to rumors of a reconcile
alton. And of course there is much
speculation as to what it means.
The partisans of both men are dis
gusted, and are doing considerable kick
ing. Men of prominence and influence
have allied themselves on one side or
the other of the vicious Cleveland Hill
fight that has been going on ever since
1892, and the Clevelandites are disguised
with the President for extending the in
vitation to Mr.. Hill to dine with him,
while the Hillites are equally disguised
with the Senator for accepting it.
The White House dinner and the rec
Onciliation between Cleveland and Hill
is said to have been the leading topic in
congressional circles for several days,
and Texas congressman is reported by
the Washington correspondent OF the
Atlanta Constitution to have expressed
himself as follows on Saturday:
"They have fought while the storm
was on, and in their eagerness to kill
one another have allowed the Demo
cratic ship to sink in a thousand faith
OmS of water and the crew to go down
with it. They saved themselves, and
are now sitting on the beach in loving
embrace, apparently not giving a blank
about anybody but themselves. It's a
pair of the most selfish cusses who ever
hoodwinked the American people or
scuttledssa party ship"
1t is said by those who have endeav-
ored to learn whether or not there is
any political significance in the
incident of Thursday night, that Secre-
tary Dan Lamont is the man who ar
ranged the meeting between the Presi-
dent and Senator Hill, as it is known
that for long time he has been in favor
of getting the warning democratic lead
ers together.

Night.
Whitney Opera Company pre-
scented the comic opera, "rhe
Fencing Master" before a large
audience at the Grand last night
and scored very fair success, the
leading umbers being warmly APP.
plauded. The music of the opera
Is catchy enough to be pleasant,
intricate where not melOdious and
apparently is all new, there being
nothing reminiscent about it.
The leading roles were In good
hands, Miss Dorothy Morton, as
Francisco, the fencing master, be-
ing in excellent voice. She has a
strong, well cultivated soprano
and received many recalls.
Miss Bayliss, as the Countess,
also pleased with her fine soprano,
while Jenny DickersoD, as the
Marchesi, sang several good CON
tralto mum bers, making the best
possible use OF her vocal powers.
The "Fortunio" Ct David Lor-
renee was rather carelessly acted
role, though his singing in tenor
was very fine, except toward the
upper register, where his voice ap-
peared slightly strained.
"Gindo," by VIM. Stephens, had
by far the best male voice heard
last night, and he received many
warm recOgnitions.
The "TOrquato," by II. Arthur
Leibel, was well sung, though a
not very prominent position, and
the remaining parts were in good
keeping, according to their promi.
pence.
The comedy was furnished by
A. NJ. Halbrook, as "Visconte," and
and Oscar Girard, as "Pas-
quino," and was OF the most
rollicking eccentric kind possible.
Their double act kept the audience
convulsed with merriment when
ever they were on the stage and to
them is due a great deal OF the sue
cess OF the production.
The chorus, made up chiefly Of
the feminine element, is not well
balanced, though an apparent ef-
fort in that direction has been
made. There is no provision for
especial prominence OF a heavy
chorus, however, and chorus is al
ways expensive and hard to man.
age.
The staging OF the opera. the
scenery, costumes and grouping,
was all that could be desired and
there were many real stage pictures
presented during the course OF the
evening, in most natural easy
manner.
A matinee is being given to a
large audience this afternoon. To-
night is the last performance. With
the company is Signor A. Tomasi, as
musical director. He was for
many years musical director OF the
late Emma Abbott Opera COM
pany, and was one of the main
stays upon which this lamenttd
prima donna leaned, and gained
success, this warm praise being al
ways cheeriully accorded.
