ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
Dixie Land, }" an Excellent Play, Held
the Boards Last Night

the Boards Last Night
One of the best constructed and most
enjoyable comedy dramas of recent years
was performed at the Academy last
night, with those Observation-Disclosures of
negro character, Mcintyre and Heath, as
the central comic feature, and a strong
combination of dramatic talent in charge
of the more serious part of the pro-
gramme.
The title of the play, ''Dixie Land"
correctly suggests the locality in which
the scene is laid. During its progress
the audience is carried through events
happening prior to and during the late
civil war The dramatis personna in
cludes both Confederate and Union
officers, who are betrothed respectively to
Union and Confederate sweethearts, a
unique situation, which lends an addi-
tional interest Ito the play. The plot is
perfectly natural and intensely interest
ing, claiming the close attention of the
audience from the rise to the fall of the
curtain. While dealing with both sides
of. the Late unpleasantness'' no bias
towards either side is noticeable through
out the play.
Mcintyre and Heath as Sal all Jane and
Josephus, are capital, these characters
being excellently adapted to their excep-
.iohtl IdieiitS us eNpOnenCS or the genu-
inc Southern darkey. They kept the
house in continuous roar of laughter
whenever they appeared
All of the remaining characters were
thoroughly rendered, the company as a
whole showing up Strongly. There was
not one weak part in the whole perform
ance. Especially deserving of special
mention is the charming acting of Lizzie
Evans as Florida Bascom, the impulsive.
warm hearted Virginia girl, and the ex.
cellent impersonation by James NJ. Mar
tin of the worthless vagaboud, Ranzy
Snaffie. 1t is to be regretted that such
an enjoyable performance was very
poorly attended.

Not amid such surroundings as that,

themselves to the Judgment of the Amer

platform interference by federal authori-
ties in the local affairs as a violation of
the constitution of the United States and
a crime against free institutions. Mr.

ration.

friends, this constitutional question, this

sworn duty of the President to execute it

Since 1873 there have been epidemics of
dysentery in different parts of the country
in which Chamberlain's Collie, Oh Dlera
and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with per-
feet success. Dysentery, when epidemic,
is almost as severe and dangerous as Ash
attic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts
of the most skilled physicians have failed
to check its ravages. This remedy, how
ever, has cured the most malignant cases,
both of children and adults, and under
the most trying conditions, which proves

Let the distressed farmer and the unem-

swer at the ballot box Lack Of conf
dence has destroyed the purchasing power
of the country; the destruction of its pur-
chasing power has ruined its market; the
ruin of its market has left the farmers

the farmer wants is not more coinage but
more customers; what the wage Garner
wants is to exchange his labor for the
best dollar in the world and the opportu-
nifty whenever he wants to get that dollar
with his la or.''
Mr.. Depew here spoke of the great
power invested in the office of President
and added:
"While Mr.. Bryan was practicing law
before he entered Congress-, Major Nc
Kinley was serving the people in that
body While Mr.. Bryan, in the legiti-
mate prosecution of his business as a
lawyer was foreclosing mortgages on Ne
braska farms Major Mckinley was pre-
pairing measures and promoting policies
which would enable the farmer to pay off
his mortgages. While Mr.. Bryan as a
representative in Congress was preaching
free trade and reputation Major McKin-
ley was identified by name. by reputation
and by craftsmanship, with the measures
which give work, wages, business and
good times and sustain the national
honor, the national credit and sound
money. While Mr. Bryan says: MY ex-
pertinent of free trade, or all l could get,
has proved disastrous; please try my ex-
pertinent of debased currency and per-
haps that will succeed Major Mckinley
says, Let us return once more to the
policies and the practice and the meas
ures which from Washington to Harrison
made this country the greatest. the free
est, the wealthiest, the most prosperous
and the best for the people of any land in
the world.'
DR.. Depew sat down in a tumult of APP
plause as Gen. HARRISON stepped to the
front. He was in evening dress in con-
trast to DIR. Depew, who was in a frock
coat, and as he waited for the enthusiastic
cheering to subside looked in every good
health.

Both children and their elders often ask
which flower Is narcissus and which Is

these flowers. Daffodil Is tho English
name and narcissus the Latin one for the
whole species. There Is one kind which Is
