Business has been pretty lively in our

Several new faces were seen with the

Our young people are lavish in express
sion over that enjoyable sociable at the

Messrs. B. r. Mckenzie e. Co.'s livery

We, with our friend Callaha m, attend
ed a sociable at the residence Of Mr.. j. N.

''The Private Secretary"

Manager Breazeale has been exceeding.
ly fortunate IN getting the Edwin Ira
vers Company to visit Anderson and pre-
sent that famous play, "The Private Sec
retary." This Company is large one
and does not often visit q town of less
than 10000 people. 1t will be here next
Monday night, and genuine treat is in
store for those who will witness the play.
The Columbia State in speaking of this
Company and the play, says: "The peo-
pie who write plays don't know how to
get up anything that will make more
laughs to the minute than The Private
Secretary and that's the reason that no.
thing fupnier has yet entered into the
mind Of the playwright. 1t is funny
enough, and if it were more 80, those who
saw it last night would likely be laugh
ing yet. The Private Secretary drew a
good house. Everyone knew what the
play was and knew that they would see
one of the best comedies ever written,
and this proved sufficient incentive to
fill the theatre. Laughter is what the
world wants, and that is what it always
gets when in seeing and hearing distance
of The Private Secretary The play is
familiar to all theatre-goers, and any de-
tailed 'write.up' would be superfluous.
1t is simply clean. high-toned and
charming comedy, and one which gives
an audience an opportunity to simply
revel in laughter until the risibles be-
como weary and pine for rest. The Ira
vers Company, which presented the play
last night, is made up of a most admira
BILE set of commedians, oneEo better than
the other, but all of the best. The entire
Company is 80 competent that it would
be difficult to single out any one for spe-
cial commendation, so the State will not
try it. Everything about the rendition
was artistic to the greatest degree, and If
there has ever been better pleased as
semblage to leave the opera house than
that of last night, the oldest habitue fails
to recall the time and occasion. The play
has been given in Columbia several times
before, but the Travers Company part
ed to it such life and vivacity that made
it seem not as an old friend, but like a
brand.neW one."
Admission prices: Dress Circle, 81 90;
Gallery, so cents. Tickets and reserved
seats will be placed on sale at Russell II
Breazeale's next Friday morning.
Approaching the fact that '"The Private
Secretary" is the greatest attraction ever
booked in Anderson, Manager Breazeale
has arranged to run q special train from
Seneca and intermediate points along the
Blue Ridge Railroad TO Anderson for this
attraction. The schedule will enable the
visitors to witness the performance and
return to their homes Immediately after
the play.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O-hn order
was issued by the orphans court yes
terday making Mrs. John A. Loga
guardian for Miss Evangelia Cisneros.
The proceedings in court were very
brief, but the Scnorito's appearance
created much interest The applica-
ton for guardianship set out that Miss
Cisneros has declared her intention to
become a citizen of the United States
so far as the law allows, and
that she intends to enter an
institution OF learning in this
city and to hereafter remain a resident
of Washington. The petition also
cites the incarceration of her father,
Jose Augustin Co,sio y Serrano. and
that there is no time fixed for his re-
lease, and that there is reason to be-
lieve that it will be long time before
he is liberated, if at all.
The case was before Judge Hagner,
Of the orphans court, and Mrs. Macias,
whose guest the young lady now is,
acted rs her interpreter. Following is
the order of the court:
ON the con ,deration Of the petition OF Evan
gelina CoSSiO Y CiSneroS by her next friend,
Karl Decker. and said Evangelina Cossio

Evangelina is now under confinement as pris-
oner in the island of Cuba. and that process

pos in this case.
