he MinstreIs.

Don't forget that Richards <
Pringle's Famous Georgia Minstrels
will be at the opera house Thursday
Jan. 9th. The Charleston, w. V.
Daily Gazette has the following:
Richards & Pringle's Famous
Georgia Minstrels were greeted by a
large audience at the Burlew last
night. The olio was full of wit and
repartee and evoked much merri-
ment and applause especially the crap
scere. Billy Kersands was "hot
stuff" and was repeatedly encored.
The juggling was perhaps the best
that has been seen here, and the
female impersonation was almost
perfect. The singing was all very
good, particularly that of the Quar-
tette, and the finale was one of the
richest thingsICharleston has witness
ed for a long time. Taken from
beginning to end the entertainment
was good one-laughter-provoking,
extravagant and absurd. The Geor-
gia Minstrels will always have a
good house when they visit Charles

Nearly Five Hundred Have Been Put 60
Work by Different Firms.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Nearly 500 OF
che lockedout tailors have been taken
back by the contractors and the back
bone of the lockout is considered to be
broken. The Clothing Contractors
Mutual Protective association has been
beaten. After Tepudiating the agree
ment which the members Of the asso-
ciation made with the Brotherhood Of
Tailors, the contractors hoped to pre-
cipitate general strike by looking up q
few of their shops. By this means
they expected to gain the support Of
some Of the large clothing manufac-
turers. The tailors frustrated the plans
of the contractors and then the men
tried to make the lockout extend not
only to all the shops in this city, but in
other cities as well. The individual
contractors began, however, to desert
their association and apply for the re-
turn of their employees.
There was great rejoicing at the mass
meeting of the tailors, held in Wal
halla hall, over the affair.

BUILT THE WRONG WAY.
why the Quaker's Chester Hogs Took No
Prizes In Georgia.


Prizes In Georgia
Il never shall forget an incident
which occurred at the first fair ever
attended in Georgia" said a retired
Cincinnati meat packer. lit was at
Macon. and think they called it state
fair. At any rate it was big thing for
the town in those days. They had some
fine stock on exhibition, and a Pennsyl-
vanian had sent down about 90 of the
finest looking hogs you ever saw. They
were mostly Chester Whites. and if /
recollect Alright they were exhibited by
Thomas Wood, a great hog and cattle
fancier Of 90 and 30 years ago. He it
was who introduced that famous breed
of hogs, the Chester White, and he
made a great deal of money out of his
fancy stock. He was a Friend-a Qua
ker, You kn6w-who used the plain Ian
guage and wore broad brimmed hat.
He was a smart old gentleman, honest
and prosperous. He sent his hogs from
state fair to state fair, and they took so
many prizes and blue ribbons that each
hog looked like boy who had spent all
his money making collection of badges.
when the Macon judges made their
awards, they gave blue ribbons very lib
orally to the razor backs, but not one of
the fat, sleek Pennsylvania hogs got a
prize. The owner of the exhibit did not
understand it, so he hunted up one of
the judges and said in the language of
the Friends:
I know thee to be an honest man,
and do not question thy fairness in the
award, but to crafty my own curiosity
/ would be glad TO have thee tell me
why thee gave all the prizes to the ma
tive stock and what fault thee found in
mine?'
My friend, the committee admired
your hogs greatly, the judge replied.
They are certainly handsome, and 1
have no doubt that in your section they
are the best breed to raise, but they are
not suited for this country. They are so
short legged and fat that nigger could
catch them in two minutes. What we
require in hog in the south is legs and
wind. We give our prizes for speed. ."

A Powerful Burning GIas..

The most powerful sunglass ever con-
structed in France was that made un-
der the supervision of the savant NJ.
de Villette. This glass generated heat
sufficient to melt copper coin Of the
size of our silver % cent piece in ~
seconds.
George Parker of Fleet street, Lon
don, made glass much more powerful
than that which resulted from tho
Frenchman' S efforts. Parker's was three
feet in diameter and so powerful that it
was actually used to melt substances
which were too refractory for the fur
naces. The best authorities ON heat say
that it had q power Of 166, 362 degrees
+. This is best understood when it is
known that it only takes temperature
of 2, 7S7 degrees to melt cast iron so that
it will flow like water.-St. Louis Re

His FOrty-NInth Year.
KANSAS CITY. Jan. 9-Charles Bas-
sett, known to the sporting fraternity
all over the country. a prominent figure
in the frontier days of Kansas, is dead
at Hot Springs. Ark.
Bassett was once q side partner of
"Bat" Masterson and other noted char
acters and made a record for bravery at
Dodge City, Kan, shortly after the
war, when he and Masterson cleared
that city of a gang of outlaws, who up
to that time had run the town as they
pleased. 1t is said that. like Masterson,
Bassett had several notches on his re-
volver, each of which stood for a hu-

This is about a man who pat up

six men to finish the job.

dinner yesterday, Il want you to come

"All right, my dear" said johnson.
"I'll be home at 4. "
So that afternoon Johnson's wife sent
the children over TO visit on the other
side of town and stuffed rags in all the
cracks to deaden sound. After fervent
prayer that all the neighbors would be
out of town for few hours that after
noon she was ready for johnson.
He arrived promptly.
1.-The stove is out in the wood shed, "
said his wife
The stove was not very large, and
after Johnson had dressed himself for
the occasion, with the help of Mrs. John
son, who had taken care TO have his old
clothes and gloves handy, he got the
stove TO the back porch without much
difficulty.
"It must be blackened," said Mrs.
Johnson rs she mixed tho backing. 1t
blackened to a beautiful finish with very
little rubbing, and johnson whistled at
his work.
Then he tackled down the oilcloth
mat and the zinc and kept on whistling.
He took the stove i'll carefully and
put it in the right place.
There was plenty of the old stovepipe,
and while he cleaned it in the alley
with a stick Mrs. Johnson sat ON the
back porch and listened to him whistle.
The first joint went ON all right, and
the damper staid in place. The next
joint fitted so we'll that Johnson almost
stopped whistling i'll sheer admiration
for it, and so did the next one. The ell
bow fitted admirably, and the collar and
last joint went ON like a top. The seam
was ON the right side all tine way up.
There was not even speck of SCOT ON
the papers Mrs. Johnson had spread ON
the carpet.
In ten minutes more Johnson had a
lovely fire in the stove and was in his
business suit again spick and span read
ing the paper while his wife got supper.

The MInstreIs.

Montgomery (Ala.) is always a
good show town, and are particular
ly fond of minstrelsy. A critic on
one of its leading papers has the
following:
There was two hours of solid fun
at McDonald's Friday night, Rich
ards Il Pringle's Georgia Minstrels
holding the boards. This is the only
company extant composed exclusive.
ly of genuine negroes. The writer,
always interested in ethnologic prob
lens, was anxious to compare the
real Ethiopian delineator of the
negro in comedy with the burnt cork
Caucasian in the same role, and
found in this instance the dusky
African was the superior of the two.
Billy Kersands was simply i'm
mense, and during the latter part of
the performance his every appear
on the stage was greeted with ap-
plause. His local hits, while unin-
telligible to the white portion of the
audience, we're uproariously applaud
ed by the colored element, and from
their standpoint were hits indeed.
AS two stylish old gents, and in
other parts E. Hillman and Robert
Vernon secured the cordial approba-
ton of their hearers. The great
Gauze, in his natural representation
of female characters, and Billy Rey-
nolds as the old man impersonator,
ehcted considerable applause. The
wonderful feats of iugglery Dy Jalvan
entities him to the premiership of
this art. The performance was a
comic and musical treat, and one of
the very best minstrel shows ever
in Alabama.
This company will be at the opera
house Thursday Jan. 9th.
