elected to the office to which he aspires.
Governor stephens has appo inted Hon.

o! the board of managers of the Confeder-
ate Home. Senator Vandiver being incl
ligible on account of being a member of
the senate, resigned, and Mr.. Lake was
appointed n his stead. The appointment

Interest In boxing contests has in
creased since the fistic event at Carson,
Nevada, or st. Patrick's day. Everyone
seems to have caught the spirit. You see
evidences of it on every hand. Small boys
settle their differences by the rules Ibid
down by the Marquis of Queensbury, and
, show themselves very familiar with the
phrases peculiar to the ring. Not only
small boys, but big boys and grown young
men, Indulge in the manly art of self

and box one another in the most approved
style. SOM OF them are quite proficient,
and display considerable science and
skill. Fitzsimmons had better look to
his laurels.
Latest styles in spring millinery at Mrs.
II. Rasch's.
DIR. W. b. Palmore has placed his broad
shoulders under another precious burden.
He is always at work in a good field, and
has made as many sacrifices for Christ and
the church as any man living. He now
proposes to give the entire proceeds OF
5000 new Advocate subscribers to the en-
dowment fund of Central Female College.
This amount derived will be SO, 900,
! which will start the fund to be known as
the "McNally Loan Fund" The Epworth
Leagues and various organizations of the
church throughout the state should get to
work and secure the new subscribers in a
short time. The Advocate is worth - a
year and more, and no Methodist home in
this state should be without it. DIR. Pal
more's offer is a generous one, and 1t
should be successful-first, for the good il
will do, and second, as a fitting memorial
to DR.. Mentally.
Lincoln j. Carter's new play, 1.-The
Heart OF Chicago" which will appear at
the New Grand, tonight, promises to be
on the road even longer than it's money
winning predecessors, 1.-THE Fast Mair'
and 1.-The Tornado from the same pen.
The new play has scored a tremendous
success and is said not only to be cleverly
constructed but to contain an absolutely
new plot and to be the most perfect
example of advanced stage mounting on
the road. 1t carries enough scenery to
stock half a dozen melodramas of other
days aud the story of its marvellous me-
chanical effects would have seemed to the
managers of a decade ago to be compar-
able to an opium smokers roseate dreams.
Two of the scenes are absolute marvels of
the stage painter and stage mechanicals.
These are the astonishing fire scene of
which a vivid reproduction OF the burn
ing of a section of Chicago during the
great fire is shown and the famed
approaching train. Besides these there
are half a dozen excellent scenes. 9Th
Heart of Chicago" ought to play to a big
house tonight.
