Reagan on Slavery

Ex-senator Reagan of Texas delivered
an address Tuesday to an assemblage of
former Confederate soldiers at Nash
vile, Tenn, in the course of which he
said: Whatever may have been said in
the past in defense Of the institution of
slavery, and whatever may now be
thought of the means by which it was
abolished in this country, the spirit of
the present age is against it, and sup
pose no one wishes its restoration. Ger
tainly I would not restore 1t if had the
power. I think it better for the black
race that they are free, and am sure
it Is better for the white race that there
are no slaves"
This utterance, coming from one who
was member Of the cabinet in the gov
ernment Of the Confederacy, whose cor
nerstone was declared by one of its
highest officials to be slavery, may fairly
be construed as a remarkable indorse-
ment Of the course then pursued by the
national government. - Philadelphia

has been continually demanded.
w. H. Person was 3S years of age. He
has no immediate relatives beside the
brother mentioned, who lives in South
Dakota The letter written to his
friend, w. F. Ball, was a long one, and
in it he gives his reasons for the step
which he has taken. From the letter it
would seem that he did not contemplate
suicide until today, for at the end he
appends a notice: "Died July 6. 1897"
Doubtless he did not expect his message
to reach its destination until today, but
the boy came in with 1t just as he was
leaving Balls billiard parlors, and
recognizing the envelope he decided to
put himself out of the way before the
contents of the letter became known.
When found he had not been in his room
more than five minutes, but the deadly
prussic acid made rapid work of him.
The letter starts out with some direc-
tions as to the disposition of his finances.
Ball Is instructed to collect his life insur-
ance, and from this sum to give him a
simple burial He wanted to be placed,
with his daughter, alongside of his wife
at Rosedale cemetery. He asked to have
a plain stone erected over their graves
and left instructions that arrangements
be made with the cemetery people for
the care of the lot. He also wanted the
money due his brother in Dakota paid.
The key to his trunk was inclosed in
the envelope.
In reference to his burial he says: Get
the cheapest coffin that you can for me,
A pine box will do, but get something
little better for my darling"
In another place he writes: This is
an awful moment to me, but can see
no way to turn. loaned $100 to friend
of mine who was very good to me when
my Josie died. 1t was loaned for thirty
days and was due June 1st. can't get
the money now and it is very uncertain
If get it at all If my Oldest
brother was alive I should go alone,
but there is no place for Edith, and she
is delicate. I have explained to her my
intentions, and she wishes to go too,
and I have granted her request. Poor,
innocent little darling wants to go to
her mamma first, and be with her when
/ come. will grant her request, for I
alone will be held responsible if any one
Is, but I can suffer anything If my little
one Is safe from harm. 1t is awful! aw-
full! awful! 1 have had a hard pull
against odds since Josie died and I am
without resources. II have,
it seems, lived 100 years in the last few
minutes.
Could but see any other way for us
to turn I would like to live and see my
little one grow into womanhood. Do
not have religious services held but get
US under ground as soon as possible.
Tell Mrs. Berry, where Edith boarded,
to give her effects to the Associated char
tiles. My oldest brother, who died in
Chicago by his own hand, had the 18th
psalm in the bible marked. 1t seems to
fit my case too.

LOS ANGELES THEATER. The
Columbia Comic Opera company scored
their best hit last night in La Mas
cotte," one of Audran's most tuneful
compositions, familiar to every lover Of
comic opera. The company shone to ad-
vantage, not only in the work done by
the principles, but also in the excellent
support of the chorus which was at
tractive in appearance and sang with
a volume of sound that was surprising
ly good.
The honors of the evening were divid-
ed between Ethel Balch and Fred Hunt
ley as Bettina the mascotte, and Pippo
the shepherd, respectively. Miss Balch
made great deal out Of the willful way
ward, coquettish and rather shrewisn
Betinna, and it Is needless to say sang
her part delightfully."- Mr. Huntley had
his first good opportunity to display the
| fine quality of his baritone voice, and
| he acted the part with an amount of
spirit and fire that made the perform
| ance go with great enthusiasm. Mr..
| Huntley Is strong addition 20 the ranks
of the company. The comic work of
| Henderson and Kunkle, the former as
Prince Lorenzo and the latter as Rocco,
was quite an improvement OF anything
they have done here before and was
highly enjoyed by the audience.
The Princess Fiametta of Katherine
MacNeill was all that the few opportuni-
ties given to the character could be ex-
pected to call forth. Harry Davies as
Prince Frederic, made something out
of his colorless part by the interpolat ton
| of song in the second act which was
encored.
The chorus went through some capital
drill movements in the third act to the
music Of the march from Ell Captain and
received so much applause that they
had to repeat their evolutions.
The house was a crowded one and
highly appreciative. La Mascotte" will
be repeated tonight.
ORPHEUM. This house was crowded
to the ceiling last night, standing room
all filled and people turned away. The
program was up to the standard es-
tablished by prior good bills and gave
general satisfaction. The holdovers
from last week, including Daily and
Hilton comedians; Ida Gray Scott sa-
prano; Nat M. Wills and Miss Loretto
the tramp and the maid and Billy Car
ter the banjoist and entertainer were all
there Conway and Leland, monopedes,
were not able to arrive here from San
Francisco on time and their absence was
apologized for. Russell Brothers in their
Irish servant girl impersonations con-
firmed the good impression they made
here year ago and were much applaud
ed Josephine Sabel described as 1.-The
little woman with the big voice." did
not belle her description. Her French
song was well received but the coon
song, which everybody understood, went
much better, and in fact brought down
the house. The turn Of Johnson and
Dean, who do colored team act much
in the style of the Andersons recently
here, made quite a hit. They are not
quite up to the cleverness of the An
dersons as yet, although they do a good
act and their work secured the approba-
tion of the audience The bill taken al
together is a very good one and will
pack the house all the week.

SAN DIEGO, July 5.-(Regular Core

tabernacle which has just been com
pleted at cost of $4,000. was formally
opened yesterday. At the morning ser
vice the building was filed from center
to circumference, and the beauty and
convenience of the edifice were subjects
Of general admiration. The acoustic
properties Of the building are beyond
criticism, and indeed there seems some
peculiar quality of the room which
brings out with great clearness and
power the utterance of both speech and
song. The collection taken up at the
first service was almost $1,500, which
put the church building fund out ot
debt.
