The Forrest City herald., 1896-03-21

We have received several
congratulatory letters this
week, commencing our little
paper. We return hearty
thanks, and will say, as we
have said, that we are out
purely in the interest of the
race, and we shall exert our
utmost power to arouse every
colored man, woman and
child, to do his or her part in
making this race of ours, a
race surpassed by none.
Some may ask what shall
we do to rise above the scorn
of other races! Let us be.
come more intelligent as a
race. Frequently we see some
one of our people brought
upon the witness stand, and
don't know the county in
which he liyes, nor the state.
And in many other instances
we could show where some
of our people brings a public
disgrace to the whole race,
by their ignorance. They set
back for years, will not try to
receive the least information,
and when they are compelled
to come to the front they dis,
grace themselves and Others
who are struggling for a
place among the enlightened
people Of the world. Now
our mission is to enlignten,
encourage, enthuse and stir
up the whole race to be some.
body. We intend to go in
person or by a worthy rep.
resentative to every neigh.
borhood once in every three
months, TO encourage home
study. We all may be to
ourselves some day, then we
will need to be knowing peo-
pie. Every ignorant man
that returns to Africa, is
more of a curse than a bless.
ing to it. 1t should be the
intention of everyone that
emigrates to Africa to go
there to build it up, and not
go there to be built up. To
stay here or go, we need a
better informed mind. So
let this paper come in your
home and bring you fresh
news about your own dear
race. Study its home review
department and have your
children TO study it, and in
the next decade you will see
"a wonderful improvement
along this line. We are
proud to say that several
boys have informed us that

The Gelsha in New York.

"The Geisha,' the Japanese musical
comedy, has scored as great a success
at Days in New York as it did in
London. The scene is laid in the land
of the Mikado, and the surroundings
and costumes-the latter being remark
ably pretty-are. of course, Oriental.
There are good voices, and some very
light, pretty songs, particularly the
kissing duet, and "The Interfering
Parrot" Dorothy Morton, who has a
clear, sweet voice, makes an attractive
geisha, Miss Violet Lloyd, stranger to
New York audiences, acts with much
freshness, humor and grace, and has
jumped into immediate popularity. The
part of the Chinaman is cleverly play
ed by Mr.. William Sampson. His
makeup" is splendid, and he has con-
siderable humorous talent.

Mapleson and Opera.

Col. Henry Mapleson, whose pictur-
esque failure is the table talk of music
lovers in all parts of the country, is
perhaps the most notable of impressa-
rios. The colonel has given the people
of America and England some of the
very best opera that they have heard.
Mapleson is an English gentleman. His
father before him was famous, and
when the son came to New York it was
easy for him to marry rich girl, which
he promptly did. That was twenty-one
years ago, and the impressario has been
trying since then to beat the wife of
Bath in the number of spouses. Chau-
GERS multi-married heroine had five
husbands Colonel Mapleson has had
four wives. He took his first bride to
Europe, and she returned without him
in just eighteen months to sue for and
secure divorce. The colonel, nothing
daunted, next married the beautiful
Marie Roze, and became her manager.
Marie Roze sang Mapleson into fame,
and made him a great impressario. In
$780, when she brought suit for divorce,
the colonel declared that they had
never been married. and acting on that
assumption, he was married in 1891 to
