hsyo deserted the hotel force, appear upon
the scene, ana having gotten rid OF the

theatrical Tidings.

Following "Crimes OF a Great City" at
Lothrop's Opera House, the attraction will
be the comedy melodrama entitled,
"Birds OF Prey which will be presented
by a specially selected company.
Richard Golden in "Old Jed Prouty" Is
underlined for week at Keith's Opera
House very soon. This quaint old New
England comedy Is always favorite In
this city.
For the week OF April 27, at Keith's
Opera House, the attraction will be the
unctuous comedian, George W. Monroe, In
an entirely new and uncommoDly lively
farce "a Happy Little Home." Mr..
Monroe is surrounded with the best he
has vet had and IL Is said his entertain
ment is one of the very best on the road.
A great many folk of accurate taste In
such matters believe that Caves genius
reqches it's highest expression In the
character of Santuzza. signora Duse can
not give so fine performance OF Verga's
heroine as Is offered by the opera singer.
In this role the French woman paints a
picture OF passion, emotion and despair
That Is extraordinary in power. Here
again we observe that Calve does not
allow art TO escape into lawless expression
of nature. Duse's Santuzza is appalling
In realism. in poverty, fifth and degraded
womanhood. Calve, on the contrary,
preserves the attractiveness of Santuzza,
makes her wholesome and pleasing to the
eve, and thus maintains our sympathies
in her sorrows. We consider this artists
creations of Santuzza and Anita TO be her
most remarkable flights OF genius.

Inappropriate Costumes.

One thing in the composite drama has
been observed In plays that put forward
negroes as important characters. An in
stance was "Puddin'hes Wilson," in
which Mary Shaw played a slave. She
gown of ultra fashionable cut, turned
low in the neck and short to the elbows.
On bsS head was bandanna haEdker-
chief. In tho first act she wore a tight
dress which would haye been ela aborate
for the mistress OF the plantation. JEFF
freys Lewis plays an old negro woman
in 1.-THE Law of the Lano," and she
clothes the creature fantasticslly. Her
head handkerchief Is tied with a gay col
ored ribbon, and she wears yellow apron
that is plainly Turkish or Oriental in
origin. Such get mp Is as pfeposterous
as Mary Shaw's was, and the indications
are that the value of the negro on the
stage will be promptly destroyed SO soon
as merely conventional type is allowed
to take the place OF the real figures.
Negro women never looked as Mary Shaw
and Miss Lewis represent them, even
though they were favorites OF their
owners. Such types were never seen,
and they are no more true to nature than
the satin-legged dancers in the negro
minstrels. Actors who observe as little
will do the type the same injury.
Next winters opera.
One OF the assured facts in regard to
the season at the Metropolitan Opera
House, New York, next winter, is that
there will be no regular series of German
performances under the management OF
Abbey a Grau. A season OF German
opera will be given after the close of the
French and Italian performances under
the direction of Director Pollini Of the
state Theater of Ham burg. Some of the
artists OF the Abbey q Grau company
may be engaged In these performances,
but the majority of the singers will be
imported by Pollini.
This German season may be made to
take the place Of the usual supplement
tary opera which is now being sung.
There is some possibility that Van Dyck
may come to this country under Pollinis
management and appear in these per-
formances, although his terms, which
are $1,000 performances, are regarded as
practically prohibitive. These perform
ances will be unGer the direction OF
Anton Seidl. few performances may
be given in German during the season
sTristan and Isolde" for instance-and
these will also be under SeidPs direction.
Luigi Msncinelli Is TO return next year
as director OF the French and Italian
operas.

Rivals Reconclled.


Miss Irwin is IN "The widcw JONES'"

New York. There has been pretense OF

Tess expectant populace Is permitted to
know that the dissension has disappear
ed, and left behind no trace OF bitterness
or envy. The question who sang 81 Want

disturbs either of them, and IL was the
Fay who first extended the olive branch.
She went TO a matinee and the Nay sa W
her. "I'll leave out MA Honey - she
said to the director; "it would sound too
cheeky to sing Il with Templeton there in
the box" SO the end OF the second act
came without the song. After "My On

that the May sings, bunch of roses was
handed up. Between the acts the May in
vestigatcd the flowers. and the card with
the directions "Not to be Sent over
the footlights until after Ma Honey 4"
was found in them, and they were pre-
sented with Fay's compliments. In the
third act, after the May had finished her
recitations, the audience showed plainly
that it wanted the song. The Fay leaned
forward from the box. "sing it." she
whispered when the May came down to
the footlights. "I'se scared, chile, with
you seetin' there In the box" was the re-
PLY, but she gave the leader OF the or
chestra a look, and the audience, along
with its composer. heard the song. The
Fay led the applause, and the feud
which had agitated these two artistic
souls was pesceably concluded. Nothing
so touching in the pabli life Of actresses
had been exhibited since the reconcilia-
tion of LYDIA and Jennie Yeamans at

What is called a Floating Society"
has been organized in the Methodist
church. Its object is to hold relig-
ious services regularly on vessels in
port. The committee has visited the
various captains of merchant marine
and asked permission to hold meet
ings upon their vessels. Every where
the kindest receptions were accorded
and promised. In fact the masters
promised to assist the work in every
way possible.
One of the committe said Thursday
night: "The Floating Society is not
a sectarian organization. We have in
vited the other churches of the city
to combine with us, and we hope to
see societies organized in all of them.
Work of the ships will begin at once"
1t may be added in this connection
that the local Salvation Army post is
already doing an important religious
work along the water front.

The Other Side.

The Caldwell News came to hand
last Saturday with a full statement
of the facts concerning the embrogliO
between Mr.. Simons and Will Taylor.
Mr.. Simons published the statement
over his own name and concludes as
follows:
This nefarious scheme to deprive
me Of the possession Of my property is
the result of a conspiracy and plot to
utterly wreck and ruin the News
financially, politically and morally
and If successful to turn it over to me
a corpse. This conspiracy has been
Matched elsewhere, founded in jeal-
OuSy, hatred aad malice without cause
or provOcatiOn. Mr.. Taylor has sim
ply lent himself to the use of the con-
spiratOrs, and became their servile
Instrument. 1t was not his intention
to run the News even il he had secur-
ed new lease but had arranged to
turn the office over to Henry Derwin,
of this city. Mr.. Taylor, on last Sun
day received transportation to Den
yer on his way to Salt Lake to where
he was going. Our readers and
friends will appreciate somewhat the
difficulties under which l have been
recently laboring, arbitrarily shut of
from the editorial control of the News
deprived Of word Of defence or ex-
PLANTATION Of the outrage committed.
[ expect lies to be published and 1t
will not be long, doubtless ere the
good people Of Sumner county will
find out who fathered this infamous
scheme. But l will defend my rights
legally and otherwise, to the end. |

fairly and candidly without even ad-
ministering condemnation upon those
who have conspired to wrong me. |

honorable name and conduct myself
as an upright citizen and gentlemen,
fulfilling every obligation and con-
tract between myself and my fellow
men. IfIwere the only sufferer from
the attacks OF character.assassins and
characterless villains, 1t might seem
hard to endure, but since any honor
able gentleman is liable to the as
saults Of debased men, l accept the
issue as gracefully as possible, deter

R. T. Simons, editor and proprietor
Of the Caldwell News, and VIM. Tay-
lor, who has had the News leased for
the past six months, are having quite
a warm time Of it trying to settle the
present proprietorship Of the paper.

court for adjustment. The substance
Of this we gather from the Daily
Mail, which naturally enough takes
sides with Taylor as against Simons,
with whom its editor had a falling
out over the dizzy Of the county print
ing rake of last year. Taylor may be
legally and morally right, for aught
we know, but whether he is or not, it
will do his cause no good to receive
the warm espOusal Of the Mail editor,
especially with those who can sur
mise the prompting cause. We ven
ture the guess that the editor Of the
Mail, out Of that unbOunded, mex
haustible store Of legal wisdom, which
he ever keeps on public exhibition,
has furnished the advice that caused
this trouble.-OxfOrd Register.

Lin Gone!

There Is not more familiar figure
on the streets of Atlanta than the man
whose picture is here shown. Every
body knows him by sight and it will be
remembered that years ago he began
to wear on his upper lip, just under
his nose, a small piece of court plas-
ter, not larger than silver half dime;
this plaster he has worn constantly,
though it gradually increased in size,
as everybody knows, until it was as
large as silver dollar. This man is
NJ. NJ. Nicholson, who resides at the
corner of Anderson and Curran SITS.
1t was thirty years ago, that he first
noticed tiny scale, like piece of
wheat bran, on his lip. He at first
thought it only fever blister, but it
was not long before his cheeks became
diseased and painful to the touch, and
he soon realized that he had fallen a
victim to that most dreadful disease
Cancer. 1t rapidly increased in size
and severity, and remembering that
his father had cancer when he died,
and that his uncle also lost his life by
this terrible disease, which destroyed
his tongue, throat and left eye, Mr..
Nicholson became thoroughly alarmed,
and realized that his condition was
more than serious
