in sending him Judge) one hundred
dollars, being intended to influence
him in a case in which the man was

We have often heard that ten thous-

A OOLORED HERO.
Editor Preston Speaks Plainly.

Jacksonville, fla, Advocated
John Mitchell, Jr., editor OF the
PLANET, Richmond, Va, the ugh scarce
~ unh ard of from national stand
point, has proven to be the ideal NegI O
of this country. The LunenburR muir
der case in which Mr.. Mifchall became
so conspicuous before and during the
trial, commends him to all men. That
he was sincere in bis devotion to those
whose life had been put in jeopardy by
a lying scoundrel, cannot be questi IN
ed Men OF Mr.. MiichelPs type are en-
titled to all the honOrs aid support a
race loving people can give. To under
20 the privations and sacrifices to SAVE
human life as this great newspaper ed
itor has done is not to be winked at
By creating sentiment for the con-
demned prisoners, all women, through
the columns of the PLANET there was
hearty response to his appeals and Ma

for ten years to a felon'S cell, was,

Breaches free air once more in the old
Dominion state We need men like
Mitchell and new spspers like the PLAN
EFT all over this South land. Members
of the colored press who are fearful of
their lives because of the truth, ought
to condemn evil in high places in the
ranks of both races or quit the bust
ness. Our effort shonld be to stand
by those who are willing TO make the
sacrifice. Mr.. Mitcheil's fidelity to his
race has stood him in good stead, and
he is to-d day conducting the most pro-
gressive up to date journals south of
Washington. We have no right to
count the cost in contending for right,
and the man or men who does are sim
ply cowards-that's all.

Madame Genevra Johnstone- Bishop
will give an evening of song at Music
hall Wednesday evening, the gath inst.
Madame Bishop stands we'll in the front
rank of lyric and oratorio artists on both
continents. When she was heard here
in the Fiesta concert last April, she COM
manded the respect and admiration OF
all musical people, by her very superior
work, and now that she is here en- route
to the north where she has a number
of return engagements, she has been
prevailed upon to sing before leaving.
Although Madame Bishop was heard
under various disadvantages at the pa
vilion last spring, those who heard
her then will be only too glad to enjoy
her artistic singing and her delicious
voice again. Those who did not hear
her should realize the privilege they will
have this week.
During the past week Madame Bishop
has been the guest of Mrs. Modini Wood
and has received many social courtesies.
Concert parties are already forming for
Wednesday evening, and it is to be made
social as well as a musical function.
The musical clubs of the city are noti-
flying their members that they may at
tend in a body to honor this great singer.
OF her recent appearance in Salt Lake
City at the music festival held in the
tabernacle, the Salt Lake City Herald
! has the following notice: There was
general buzz of anticipation as the re-
nowned singer took her place beside the
great organ, and the congregation lis
tened with breathless attention while
her noble notes rolled out in Gounod' S
inspiring song, Jerusalem The rendi-
| ton was simply magnificent The quail
ity of her upper tones is very much like
Nordica's voice. Truly a very great
artist is Madame Bishop
Madame Bishop will be assisted We'd
nesday evening by Gertrude Sturgeon
Colby, who as a pianist ranks among
the best. She plays with great express
sion, her manner is modest and unas-
suming and her stage presence delight
full.
Mr.. Harry j. Fellows, the tenor. al
though young in years has gained high
rank in his chosen profession, and his
work of the highest order of merit, is
highly spoken of by the eastern press
and people. This concert will be far
above the average. The sale of re-
served seats opens Monday at Bart
lett's music store

gap caused by the death of his uncle,
has long been slated as the only sue
cessor of the great magician when he
should pass away. He has been a star
in Europe for manyyears, and is counted
there as the cIeverest and most skilled
master of the "black art" of the age. He
has been most enthusiastically received
