"A Southern Romance" which comes to
the Crawford theater in this city next
Thursday evening, opened the season at
the Fifth Avenue theater in New York
and enjoyed a successful run of several
weeks in the metropolis. During its stay
in that city the New York Herald made
the following comment on the piece:
In these days of reaction from the
problem drama the realistic jaded thea
tergoers find pleasure in the unfolding of
a simple story of romantic love. A
Southern Romance is of this type The
stage setting is attractive and the plot
as limpid as a moutain stream. "A South
ern Romance will prove an attractive en-
tertainment''

On Friday evening Cosgrove & Grants

before.
Thomas W. Keene and his company
played Julius Caesar recently in
northern New York town. At the last
moment it was found that the property
man had failed to send up the regular
throne chair used in the senate scene and
an old rustic chair was hastily procured
from the loft of the theater and after be-
ing covered with draping was pressed in
to service. In the midst of the scene a
large wasps' nest was discovered attach
ed to the chair and its Inhabitants be-
coming indignant at the disturbance they
had suffered, began to swarm about the
stage, seeking revenge upon the Romans
in low-necked and short-sleeved dresses.
They seemed to be particularly offended
with Caesar, and it is doubtful If Caesar 5
death scene was ever enacted with more
feeling for at the moment he was being
pierced by the conspirators' daggrss the
zxasps were most Industrious in Hheir
work In the tent scene, where Caesar
appears to Brutus, one might almost
doubt its being the true Caesar. 1t was
the same in form, dress, etc, but the face
was no longer the same. In the last act
Brutus had one eye closed, Antony a
swollen lip, Cassius an enlarged chin, Lu-
cius an inequality in the size Of his hands
and Octavius Caesar nose that would

FARMING OUT CONVICTS.
Inmates of the Arizona Penitentiary
Turned Over to Contracts.

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 6.-The State of
Arizona Improvement company has. .un-
der a contract that Governor Franklin
refused to ratify while in office, taken
possession of all able bodied convicts in
the penitentiary.
Forty are already out in a convict
camp and one hundred more will be ta-
ken out next Monday to build an irri-
eating canal.
This is one of the features of McKin-
ley prosperity that suffering Arizona
did not want" said a prominent citizen
today. But said he, maybe con-
gress will take this step towards bar
barism as evidence that we are entitled
to statehood. The death of silver min
ing in this territory is insignificant
when compared to this blow to free la
Dor, to say nothing of the questionable
one-sided contract"

Ayers
Cure

better known as Ayers Cherry Pee
toral, has made a record for it's
remarkable cures of asthma. Cases
that have been considered beyond
hope or help have been cured by
this remedy. We give two examples
of such cures out of the many on
record
''My mother has been a great sufferer
from asthma for the past ten years, and her
recovery is almost without parallel. On
account of her advanced age-over seventy
we had but little hopes Of ever seeing her
well again; but we are sincerely grateful to
inform you that she has been entirely cured
by the use of Ayers Cherry Pectoral."
INGLIS BANKS, Tar Brook, N. S.
''I was a sufferer for long time from
asthma, vainly endeavoring to procure relief
in the use of ordinary remedies. At length
was induced to try bottle of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. The first bottle afforded me SO
much benefit that 1 continued the use of the
remedy until entirely cured"

MAY BE A BIG STRIKE.

Would Involve Fifty Thousand Men
In Chicago Building Trades.
Paralysis of building operations for an
Indefinite period this spring in Chicago
and Cook County and an immense strike
in the building trades, involving &, 900 men
are not improbable contingencies. Unless
q disagreement is settled which sprang up
recently between the Masons' and Build
ers' Association and the Bricklayers' union,
members Of both organizations believe
Chicago will witness greater labor con-
fict than that which was waged in the
building trades for nine weeks of 1887.
That strike, which affected thousands of
workmen in dozen of the building trades,
was the result Of quarrel between the
Masons' and builders Association and the
Bricklayers' union.
The question of a general strike has been
discussed at the last two meetings of the
union. Some members advocated it. II
the 1000 union bricklayers engage in a
strike it will force into idleness all other
building crafts. Plasterers, bod carriers,
fathers, carpenters and the rest can do
nothing while the bricklayer and stone
masons refuse to work, and will not try
under the present system. II the present
differences are unsettled by April arbi-
tration will be suspended and strikes which
must become general, will follow.

Tho postmastcrs and patrons at every
one Of the forty -four postoffices where
rural free delivery has been in operation
declare in favor of the plan. The senti-
ment in favor of the adoption of the COM
prehensive scheme is unanimous, represent
ing opinions given both by the bead of
each postoffice and patrons. The obstacle,
however is the tremendous cost involved.
When the experiment was first contem
plated it was roughly estimated rural free
delivery to cover the whole country would
involve an annual expenditure of over
$40, 100000, but experience already had
shows $40,0o0,O 900 is conservative figure.
The cost was found, of course, to vary
with the character of the country where it
was formed, sparsly settled regions nat
urally heavily increasing the expense. The
maximum cost Of delivering each piece Of
mail matter was between 2 and cents at
Huntsville, Ind, and less than mills at
Greenfield, Franklin County, Mass. The
average cost per letter is a little over Scents
in these rural deliveries.
There are many places, however, where
the delivery Of mail is impossible, and these
aggregate large portion of the country.
The least difficulty in the general adoption
Of the scheme is in the eastern states,
though a number of western points, like
the country adjacent to Denver, Colo,
show comparatively small cost. The off,
Gals believe the service can be advantage
ously established in number of well set
tied regions. Postmaster General Wilson
has not yet drafted his report, but it is be-
lieved he will demonstrate the value of the
continuance of the experiment for year.

For Cuba LIB ~.

There have been several e."rts looking
towards the organization of Cuban
League in Sioux Falls, but for some unac-
countable reason all these efforts
have been futile. A new move is
now on, however, which promises to meet
with better success. Failure in the past
is no. sign of lack of sympathy by any
means. But for some reason the public
fancy has not caught with the scheme. A
number of enthusiastic Cuban sympathizers
have got together on number of occasions
lately and the result has been the appoint
ing of an executive committee consisting of
s. II. Magner. Sam Hurst and Joe Kirby,
which is empowered to perfect plans and
call meeting for the organization of a

John Lagalle, Is years old, q track re-
pairer for the Brooklyn Avenue Cable
Railway Company, Kansas City, met a
horrible death Sunday while engaged in
work in cable conduit. Lagalle was re-
placing . broken pulley wheel and was
busily engaged when surprised by the ap-
proach of grip. Catching Lagalle's
clothes the grip doubled him up and hur-
ried him along through the narrow con-
duit. Humping against the sides his body
smashed three large pulleys before he was
finally dislodged and wedged beneath the
cable. The car passed on with the grip
man innocent of what had happened.
When Lagalle was removed his head was
cut open and his body was horribly mutt.
lated. He lived but a short time.

Reports received at Cincinnati Monday
show that Is result Of thirty-six to forty
eight hours rain the rivers are on ram
page all through eastern Kentucky, West

ties Of logs, ties and many hogs and cattle
have been carried down on the currents.
Considerable anxiety is felt over the
rapid rise in the Ohio River. The stage is

point. The river reached forty -fve feet
shortly after noon Monday and was rising
seven inches an hour. Residents along the
river front were moving out. Reports from
all tributaries tell of Hood.
