Hoyt,s, "a Trip to Chinatown"

Hoyt's IA Trip to Chinatown" will
be the attraction at Bells Opera House,
December 81. Two new stars will be
presented to the theatre going public in
the persons of Miss Laura Bigger, who
is very beautiful and talented and who
plays ''The Widow" also Mr.. Burt Hav.
erly, quaint and original, who will play
"Wellsnd Strong" These people are
we'll known to the public as stage ar.
fists, but this season introduces them as
stars. Mr.. Hoyt personally admires
their talents, and knows of their caps.
bilities, as they have played these two
characters many times for him as lead.
ing members of his several companies.
He will realize evidently at the end of
the present season, that his opinion or
his high estimate Of their worth, was
really correct one, as it is almost next to
an impossibility with this outfit to lose
money.

MOrgan's Raid.

A great many people living in Hills.
boro will remember the great excite.
ment caused by the Morgan raid of
thirty years ago. when the flower of
Hillsboro's young men went out to
protect the fair city from the invasion
of the Morgan Raiders. Since that
time Peace has been engaged in spread
ing her white wings over the City on
the Hill, until now we are again in
imminent danger of another Morgan
raid. 1t isn't John Morgan this time,
but Daniel, and the weapons, instead
of guns and swords, will be soap bub-
bles. The raid will be held at the resi-
dence of Mr.. J. M. Hibben next Thurs.
day evening, December Goth, and the
small sum of ten cents admission will
be charged. Mr.. Daniel Morgan, the
representative of the Proctor & Gamble
Soap Co., will present three boxes of
their famous Lenox Soap to the per.
sons blowing the largest soap bubbles.
In addition to the bubble-blowing an
interesting and entertaining program
has been prepared. The small sum of
admission entities persons to compete
in the tests. The proceeds will be de.
voted to the Building Fund of the Pres
byterian Church.

There has been a great deal of war
talk during the past week. The situa.
ton, however, affords no new develope.
ments of consequence, except that Con-
gress has authorized the President to
appoint commission to investigate the
boundary dispute, and has voted 500 !.
100000 for coast defepces. The
President has not announced his COM
mission yet, and after it is announced,
it may be many months before it will
make report. In the mean time, un.
less England takes the aggressive, there
will scarcely be war. 1t is. apparent
however, from the attitude of the mon.
archial powers that they would nearly
all like to have the Monroe doctrine
knocked out. They all want say. in
such governmental reconstructions as
occur on their side OF. the water, but they
don't want the United States to exer-
else any such rights on this side. While
is to be hoped the dread arbitration of
war may be averted, it is certainly the
part of honor and good sense to make
all haste in getting ready for it. The
chances are, if We are ready, we'll not
have to fight, and if we're not ready, we
will have to fight.

TO and See.

There is certain set of girls and'boys
who are making the public library a
place for filtration. They meet there,
and, in spite of the remonstrances of the
Librarian, and in total disregard of all
decent respect for their own characters
for gentility, carry on their disgraceful
misconduct. The Librarian has almost
been compelled to call the attaches of
the building and have them elected.
We hope she will not do 80, until the
people have had chance to see their
performances. Go up there and look at
them. You will be surprised to see
whose children some OF them are. Their
disgraceful conduct will soon be stopped,
however, regardless of the feelings of
parents or others concerned. The Pub.
lie Library is no place for that kind Of
exhibitions. Respectfully,

The Republican still feels called upon
to whoop it to the NEws.HERALD because
it will not join in abusing Squire Mad.
dox. Now, we may as we'll be rightly
understood. We have no especial reason
for declining to jump on Squire Mad.
dox, more than the general one that we
believe in fair play. We listened to the
evidence adduced before him in the
CLANCY murder trial. Whatever preiu.
dices we may have had, and we confess
to strong dislike for saloon toughs,
there was no evidence offered in that
trial which would warrant the holding
of CLANCY for more than granddaughter,
1t matters not what we may think, the
law requires proof. The proof on this
occasion showed an unwilIingness on
Chaney's part to quarrel or fight. He
didn't want to 90 into the back
yard with Pauley. These are the facts
shown by testimony. And, in spite of
the Republicans intimation to the con.
trary, Prosecutor Garrett and the other
attorneys will confirm this statement
Now, the penalty for manslaughter is
from one to twenty years. The same
penalty attaches to assault with intent
to kill, horse stealing and some other
crimes, thus establishing the grade of
the bail. Glancing back over the Court
records we find that John Link, indicted
for murder in the second degree, was
only required to give $4,000 bond
George Long, for the same grade of
crime, gave $500 bond. Frank Marker,
for manslaughter, gave $1,000. Hans
Penn and others for assault with intent
to kill, were only asked $500 bond. The
same bond has been required for horse
stealing. These are the highest bonds
that have been recorded There is a
provision in the U. S. Constitution
which applies here, providing that ex.
cessive bond shall not be required
Taking the evidence in this case into
consideration, and the rule that has
prevailed as to the amount of bond
hitherto required, We believe Squire
Maddox would have laid himself liable
to action for violation OF the above
clause of the constitution had he de-
manded greatly larger bond of CLANCY
than has been customary for the samt
grade OF otfense. AS it was, he asked
$1,000 for what the evidence woulC
show was, at most, manslaughter
whereas, the bond before has been only
81, 900, But, even if it should turn out
murder in the second degree, then the
largest bonds hitherto have only beer
s., 800 to $4,000. Our only interest in
this case is fair play. If the Republican
wants to scare CLANCY away, and save
the county the costs OF prosecution, il
should train its guns on him, and not or
the Court of Squire, who has, in this
case, done just what the statutes con
templated,

mittee on Naval affairs-one of the most
important OF all committees, under pres
ent circumstances. We hope our people
will wake up to realization of the fact
that our dream offancied security because
of our isolation is delusion and a
snare. We should have bigger and
better navy than all Europe combined.
And we must have it, if we expect to
maintain our government much longer.

far better to put hundred million
dollars year into navy than to be
dumping it into the Mississippi River,
to be swept away to the Gulf.

We mentioned last week the arrest of
Charles Armentrout, of Jacksonville, on
the charge of numbering Henry Julian.
The preliminary trial occurred before
Esq. H. H. Maddox, Thursday. The
State had considerable strong evidence
in reserve, but its utility all depended
upon establishing the fact that Armen.
trout had been seen in the vicinity of
Julian's residence, on the morning of the
murder. Quite number who lived in
that neighborhood had said they saw
him hurrying away from the direction
OF Julian's, and that he was evidently
trying to avoid recognition. But under
oath they would not be positive as to his
identity. Under these circumstances, it
was useless to PROCEED farther, and Mr..
Pavey, on behalf of the Sta,e, moved
that the case be dismissed. Armentrout
was accordingly released.
