GREEN. PRAISES VOLUNTEERS,
At Mantle the citizen Soldiers Fought
Ike Regulars.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-Speaking
of the conduct of the soldiers during
the battle, General Green, who re-
turned from Manila yesterday, said
the volunteers fought and acted like
regulars and that he was proud Of
them. After the first OF the onslaught
they were N cool as could oe and pre-
pared for anything. The FIRE OF the
Americans was particularly tiaily st
all times.

Holy Week.

Next week is the most solemn
period in the church year, and in
the Catholic and Episcopal chur-
ches is marked by the strictest
observance, both in attendance OF
church services and private con-
duct. From the earliest ages the
period has been known as Holy
Week, and each day the services
set apart describe and commemo-
rate the last sorrowful scenes in
the life of the Saviour, eliminating,
on Good Friday, with the final
tragedy of the Crucifxion. The
succeeding Saturday is the last
day of Lent, and is followed by
the beautiful and triumphant festival
of Easter. Daily services will be
held during the week, with the
full morning and evening services
on Good Friday at the usual
hours. Church attendance on
that day is even more obligatory
than upon Sunday, and the pecu-
liar character of the service makes
it of peculiar interest, both to
church members and others.

Ben Hur.

The beautiful entertainment of
Thursday and Friday nights was
witnessed by two of the largest
audiences ever assembled in the
Greenville Opera House. The
dancing OF Greenville children is
proyerbial. They begin to learn
as soon as they can walk, and il is
not remarkable that, under the
skillful training which has boon
given them for two weeks, they
should have made the entertain
ment one Of the most striking and
beautiful of its kind ever given
here. The representations az
statnary, pictures and pantolaimie
scenes from Ben Hur were all
miiable and the effect was greatly
enhanced by the beautiful scenery
and many colored lights which
were used by the management.
The entire east included far too
great a number Of persons to per-
NIT of especial mention of any
except the leading characters and
sOloists.
These were most satisfactory, in
costume, personal appearance and
acting, ana the parts of Ben Hur
(Messrs. Howard Bergman and
Robert Fort,) Esther, Miss Susie
McCutchen) Irss, Miss Belle
MarshalD Amrah, miss Nettie
Anderson) Tirzah, Miss Helen
Moyse, mother of Ben Hur, Miss
Violet Dyer Massala, (Joe Jayne
Jr.,) Simonides, (Mr. Ferd Moyse)
Ilderim, (Mr. VIII Robertshaw) |
Herod, (Mr. Ben Wasson,) the
Wise Men (Messrs. Mellor, Blake, |
and Jim McCutchen) were admir-
ably rendered.
Too much cannot be said in
praise Of the dancers. The dance |
of butterflies led by little Miss
Callie Mai Nellie was simply ex-
quisite in its fairy like grace. The
quaint Arabian dance, with Miss
Nellie Marian Coppee as premiere
brought down storms of well de-
served applause. The Egyptian
dance by Misses Lady d. Shelton,
Ella Jayne and Fannie Yerger was
real poetry of motion, and the
beautiful dance of Priestes8es of
Apollo, led with wonderful grace
by Miss Nary Walker was one of
the gems of the entertainment.
No description can DO Justice to
the dancing of Miss Gracia Tilford.
1t is simply the perfection of
graceful and charming motion.
But this young lady is an ac-
knowledged artist, and her per-
Torrance it so perfect as to take
it beyond the range of amateur
work.
The recitation of the famous
chariot race scene by MI. Heath
cote was striking feature of the
entertainment, and especial com
plimentary notice is due the beau
sul drill of young ladies, led by
MISSES nary Smith and Jennie
Buchanan.
The music was furnished by the
Italian Band, and Miss Mamie
Casino, a most talented pianiste,
Who kindly acted as accompanist
without charge
The full effectiveness of the
ableaux and dances was in some
MEASURE married on the first night ]

iibition, taken altogether, was one {
f the most satisfactory and beauti- ,
I'll ever seen on the stage of the

Or. Montgomery's Funeral.

The funeral of DR.. y. c.. Mont
gomery, which took place on Sun
day, March 9th, was probably
attended by larger and more rep
resentative assemblage of people
than any other burial service ever
held in Greenville. The character
of the crowd was the most eloquent
testimonial to the love and esteem
which was universally felt for the
man of whom it was truly said
that he had not one enemy, and of
whom no unfavorah!e or disparag-
ing criticism was ever known to
be made. The whole community
united in doing honor to his men,
ory. The wealthy and prominent,
the poor and obscure, the proudest
and humblest, whites and negroes,
and people of all religious creeds,
thronged alike to render the last
act of grateful acknowledgment
to him to whom almost everyone
of them had been in some measure
indebted for acts of kindness of
which his life was made up.

Sporting Editor Of the Globe.
In your Sunday morning edition you pub
Hsh an article stating that ten-round con-
test between p. McDonough and George
O'Brien will take pace at the rooms Of the
st. Paul Athletic club.
We beg to state that we think this article
must have been brought to you by some one
who was refused admittance to our club. and
who Is malicious enough to try and put this
club On a level with himself.
Mr.. O'Brien. who Is member of the st.
prize fighting business, but on the contrary
railroad offices.
The ST. Paul Athletic club was organized for
gentlemen, and with the idea Of carrying to
the front all legitimate and healthful indoor
and outdoor sports, and its membership COM
prises some of our leading citizens. We do
not. and will not allow any prize fighting or
boxing contests in club, and consequently
you will know that any reports you might

at our club rooms will be without foundation
and not authorized by the officers of the cub

made him lower his gun. A big dog ran
out Of a farm gate and dashed at the
frog, barking madly and making fran
tic efforts to get at him, but the mon
ster had evidently been accustomed to
such Interruptions, and, cleverly dodg-
Ing the dog, he scorched on faster and
left him behind. Further on q team
took fright at the unusual spectacle Of
mammoth frog riding a bike, and
were with difficulty restrained from
riding down both pursuer and pursued.
Then a cow that had been peacefully
chewing the cud in q meadow by the
roadside, caught sight Of the frog and,
forgetting all but its ancient grievance
against the croaker. it charged with
lowered head on the procession Of rid
ers. The interruption was all in favor
Of the frog. who raced along the road
was as though possessed with an evil
spirit. Lloyd still gained on him, how
ever, and at last ran him down.
The spectators, who were in at the
finish, were then treated to the great
est surprise Of all. Instead Of throw
ing the monster from his wheel and
fastening him with ropes, the pursuers
gather around, laughing and cheering.
Then the big frog suddenly opened up
down the center and out from the in
terror stepped a man, very much dis
hevelled, painting and exhaused, but not
at all dangerous in appearance.
"a fine run. boys" said the frog
man. Five minutes more and I should
have been safe home. Good thing you
stopped that fool from shooting me.
One of you fellows can be frog next
run. Too much risk in 1t for my blood.
I'm delicate and have an aversion to
shotguns. Besides, I never liked COWS,
and dogs I detest. But it was a great
run. I'm thirsty. Come on
So ended the first great frog run.
For it was only a man made UP to look
like giant frog, after all. The idea
originated with Mr.. G. L. Carr, of Had
donfield, who offered a handsome medal
for the winner of the race. The dis
lance covered was eleven miles, and the
time thirty eight minutes.
The man who caught the frog gives
the following description of the novel
event:
1.-THE frog was allowed five minutes
start, and seventeen Of us went in
pursuit. It was the finest sport ever
seen in this vicinity and nothing has
ACQUIRED for a long time to arouse so

mis- sions made to me personally by
way of his friends confirm that i'm
preston.
At the same time, while 1 do not re-
gard Hannas defeat impossible, the
chances are in his favor. His three
SIT ong points are:
First-The support of the administra-
ton.
Second-Money
Thfrd-Lack of bold and strong lead
ers among his opponents.
1 do not mean by this that Mr.. Han
ma will buy votes. I do not think he
will, but his money aids materially in
many ways.
The ramification of his business gives
him strength, and his investments in
various localities, where his friendship
or the reverse can hurt or harm local
interests, is an important factor in the
minds Of legislators whose interests
might be affected thereby.
His unlimited means will enable him
to bring mob of ''pEblic sentiment to
Columbus to assure the legislature that
the party demands his selection.
There is also grand opportunity for
missionary work among the Democrats
to make them especially Jealous to
stand by their party and under no cir
cumstances break away to support a
Republican. AS few, if any, Of the re-
CdlCilIdHI seventeen VIII SO lar JSOpdT-
die their party standing as Ito vote
for any one but Republican, it is a
strong card to stimulate the Demo-
Gratis to be loyal to their party as
well. This Is not buying votes, but
have seen this kind Of stimulation
several times in Minnesota, and I
imagine Ohio human nature in politics
IS not likely to exceed in crystal purity
that Of Minnesota So money can be
put where it will do the most good
without buying vote.
My third strong point in Hannas
favor may change as the battle wakes
warm, but the first and second will re-
main and will be hard factors to over
come.
That a man nominated by the state
convention Of his party for the United
States senate, and with a legislature
containing a clear working party ma
jcrity Of half a dozen elected on that
Platform, should be using all the ma
chinery of the administration and all
the power of his vast wealth to have
the action Of the convention and the
vote at the polls ratified, is an
anomaly to say the least.
Mr.. Hanna occupies the position of
the man who encountered a bear. He
isn't scared; he's just afraid.
