DEVILISH TRICK.
MT. Sam Mansker's Home Entered
 and Furniture Demolished.


 Mir. Sam Mansker evidently has an enemy who is determined upon his destruction.
 Only q week ago some unseen per son fired three shots through his window, The attempted assassin was never apprehended. Since that time Mrs. Mansker has been afraid to live in the house while her husband, who is a trainman, is out on the road. She has therefore been staying with a neighbor and the house has been occupied by MT. Newton Boyd.
 Last Friday night before Mir. Boyd turned in someone forced an en- trance to the house. The person then proceeded to demolish the furniture. Mirrors were smashed, the contents.of bureau drawers were scattered over the floor and all of the furniture wrecked. Each room was visited by the marauder.
 It was a devilish piece of work and if the person is ever apprehended he should be placed behind the bars for a long term,

The Recipient of Many Floral Offer
 ings in Memphis.

Clay Clement and his excellent company presented "The New Dominion" in Memphis Friday and Saturday nights to large audiences. Of Miss Nell McEwen's interpreta- tion of her part Friday night, yes terday's Commercial Appeal said:
 Miss Nell McEwen is playing the difficult role of Flora May Randolph in 1.-The New Dominion, . and her work has been greatly admired wherever she has appeared. Miss McEwen is q Memphis girl, and comes of an old and distinguished Tennessee family. She was born in Memphis, and until she entered the professional duties of the stage re- sided in this city. She was at one time the pupil of Mss Grace Level lyn and was greatly admired. Miss MeEWen's work is artistic and sweetly simple. and an admirer can be found in every one who has seen her. She was the recipient of sew eral bouquets, which were passed across the footlights between the third and fourth acts. Among the many persons that witnessed the performance last night it was notic- ed that tears flowed as frequently as laughter was apparent, and often the audience laughed with tears in it's eyes. Pathos, comedy and trag' edy were mingled into one, and they were untangled only at the end ol the last act.

America, the land of the freel
Freedom of citizen, freedom OF
thought and freedom of the press,
is fast being brought into this vor-
tex of universal war because of the
conduct of the despicable Spaniard
Spain, nation which has been re-
nowned for its cruelty for fifteen
centuries, shows by her conduct in
Cuba, the starvation, mutilation
and destruction of women and
children, that the sons of ancient
Dons are as brutal, cruel and bar
barous as their fathers who depend
ed upon the inquisition to extort
secrets Of state or to satisfy the re-
venge of any of its grandees. That
this war can be averted seems i'm
possible; even were the United
Sta tes disposed to pacify, the con
dition of Spain is such, because of
her internal divisions. that war
with the United States will alone
pacify the Spanish people for the
loss of Cuba. which is now newt
able.
