tour in her greatest success Credit Lor-
raine." After giving the playa rest for
three years Miss Lewis has decided to
make a short tour in response to numer-
GUS calls for Credit Lorraine" from
critics, local managers and the public in
general. So this will be Miss Lewis fare

one who has seen Credit Lorraine" will
want to see 1t once more, and those who
have not seen 1t are in duty bound to
themselves to see it. 1t is a clean, pure,
high and elevating play that makes men
and women good and true and noble by
it's influence. Would that we had more
plays like this masterpiece. Miss Lewis
as Lenora in Credit Lorraine" made
the success of her life, which is one of
the purest and most sacrificing charac-
ters and the most difficult to portray in
the whole range of the drama. The ar
lists which surround Miss Lewis have
been engaged with view to his and her.
fitness for each particular character.
Frederick Monte has been re-engaged to
play the paralytic who wheels himself
about in an invald's chair. Mr.. Monte
created this wonderful character and,
like Miss Lewis, he has become identified
with the play and part. The board of
trade scene introducedsin the second act
is probably the most realistic scene of
its kind ever put on any stage. The stock
is at 1870 and is bid to 700 by Lenora to
save the honor of the man she loves,
thereby risking her fortune to save her
lover. 1t is so intensely interesting that
the people in the audience frequently
cry out with the actors on the stage.
This will positively be Miss Lewis fare
well tour in this play and all should at
tend this last opportunity of seeing the
grandest play written.

For the State Herald.
april D, 1896. thirty-first anniversary of
Lees Surrender)
I was rebel, and my heart
Has never by SO slight pause
AS one pulsation, failed to beat
With constance to that sacred cause
For which we of the sunny south
Intrepid stood mid battle flame,
And for which cause we even yet
Can speak without blush of shame
And yet know, and admit
The fact, that men who wore the blue
Were just as honest and as brave
AS we who differed in our view
With them on questions of the right;
Nor will even now gainsay
That they less just in battle fought
Than we who faced them in the fray.
They fought with patriotic love
This union grand to shield and save,
And to uphold their cOuntry'S flag,
The flag that their forefathers gave;
Whilst we who wore the southern gray
Sought to maintain state sovereignty,
And fought with all our might and main
For home and white supremacy.
That was Alpha and Omega,
The sum total of the story,
Each side was right and for their cause
Won immortal fame and glory.
And when on AppomattOx's field
Great Lee and Grant stood hand In hand
Revealed was the broken link
OF this our union great and grand
Nor will 1 now with needless words
Revert to wounds that long have healed
We staked our all and played our hand
Upon the bloody battle field;
And tho by fate doomed TO defeat
Doomed to behold our banners fall
What e,er we lost this much we gained,
A worlds respect, that's worth 1t ALL
And after all, who now can say
That what is now is not the best,
Since every line is blotted out
Twixt north and south, twlxt east ana
west.
One nation now one common nag,
One nation that embraces all;
One sisterhood of sovereign states;
One common fate, what eer befall.
And as we stand united now
The sun shines not on fairer land,
Nor land so blessed by natures God
AS this our country, great and grand;
Then let Old Glory proudly wave
Ger north and south, Ger east and west;
It is the flag our fathers gave,

Are the Johnston Men Populistsp

Are the j ohnston Men fopullstSP
To the State Herald:
Some of the over-zealous, underwise
partisans of Mr.. Clarke are charging
that the Johnston men are heading for
the populist party. This Is very unfor-
tunate. AS a democrat, the record of
Joseph F. Johnston is as clear as that of
Mr. Clarke or any of his supporters So
of that of his friends.
Captain Johnston numbers among his
supporters men of all shades of opinion
on the money question, which Mr.. Clarke
maintains Is the only issue, the only test
in this campaign. No man can be elected
to office in Alabama this year on that
one issue. The tariff, an economical adj
ministra ton, federal election laws, etc..
cannot be ignored if we weould succeed.
The writer is a firm believer In sound
money" He gravely doubts the wisdom
of the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer It the ratio of 16 to l. without the CO.
operation of other nations. But he does
not doubt the democracy of those who
advocate that measure. He supports
Captain Johnston. first. because he is a
democrat, and next because he believes
him to be the strongest man to face the
enemy with in August After all, this is
the main question.
On behalf of those who think as | do
l beg to assure those who would read
us out of the democratic and into the
populist party that we do not relish any
such insinuations. If Captain Johnston
shall be nominated and elected, as we
believe he WILL in making up a democrat
ic administration would he not be justi-
fled in questioning the democracy of men
who have questioned his?
All such talk is rot. 1t should cease at
once. Tt may prove boomerang

Wang in all of it's glory and magnfi-
cence with Mr.. Albert Hart in the lead
ing role, is announced for it's farewell
visit here on next Monday, April 10, for
one performance only at the opera house.
An exchange says of this seasons pro-
duction: The Academy of Music was,
for the third time, crowded to the doors
last night by delighted and enthusiastic
lot of Jersey City people, Never in the
history of the academy has Manager
Henderson scored such success.
Wang" by the present company. and
under the management of ID. w. Truss,
has never been equaled. Line was
formed at the box office last n ght and
every seat in the house was occupied
when the curtain rose on the opening
scene of Wang" Late corners were
forced to stand in a fringe behind the
seats, The story of Wang is familiar
to theater goers, and has been published
in the Journal in connection with the pro-
duction. 1t had a run of 250 nights at the
Broadway in New York, Which proved
its merits as fayorite. 1t is more mag
nifcent than ever this season. The
scenery is elegant and entirely new; the
music, which is catchy, has b;en bright
eied: the local hits are irresistible; the
pretty girls. in gorgeous costumes. fill
the stage, and~tWang" is indescribably
funny. Those who were present last
night went away with visions of bright
scenes, pretty girls, gorgeous coloring
and bits of fun and music lingering i'm
their minds, and not one of them will
recall Wang" without a pleased smile.
The management of the theater has look
ed upon Wang as the event of the sea-
son, and, judging from the crowd last
night, the public has the same opinion.
