Mahara's Minstrels.

The Mabara brothers, who bring
their Mammoth Minstrel company, to
the opera house, January Is, are
among the most progressive managers
in their line of business who are today
catering to the amusement-loving pub
lie, leaving the old rut in which 20
many similar organizations have been
travelling, they have taken an entirely
new read. They introduce, what the
public are clsmoring for, real novel;
ties, and from the rise to the fall of the
curtain, they follow each other in rapid
succession. Many artists of national
reputation are on their programme,
which proves that they have only the
best in that line.
In their company are singers, whom
one will be surprised at, to find on
the minstrel stage, and their voices are
we'll worthy of being placed in a much
higher line of entertainments, and
nothing but the most Aattering reports
come in from all places that have had
the pleasure of seeing them.

ing Texas Volunteer Guard. in maxim g
his report to Adjutsnt General Mabry,
comes ont strongly against competitive
drills for cash prizes, saying they are
absolutely demora'izing. He cites the
disgraceful (?) conduct of the Morton
Cadets in support of his argument.
There have been one or two encamp-
ments held, in which no foreign CON-
panies participated and judging from
the newspaper reports there are
great many things connected with state
encampments that are such more de-
moralizing than contests for cash prizes
by companies recognized to be most
proficient in military tactics. Maj.

SWEPT BY
A CYCLONE.
Fort Smith, Ark, is a Mass
of Ruins and Debris.
MANY WERE KILLED.
A Horrible Holocaust Followed the
Cyclone, Adding PandemOnium to
an Already Terrible State of At
fairs.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, January r.
At a. ~, telephone message was
received from Fort Smith which reports
the place devastated by cyclone
which struck the city at midnig hit.
Buildings were levelled and inmates
were buried in the ruins. Many lives
were crushed out while several were
hit by flying bricks and tim bers. To
add to the horror of the s"ene fire
broke Ou. in the debris a nd aided many
victims to the slrs ady large number.
The electric light plant and gas works
were destroyed and in consequence the
work of rescue was conducted by the
light of torches or the blaziuy homes
of the stricken ci liens. All cnmmn-
nica,ioa will outside o ipt5 is Cut Oft;
he tel' graph .nd telephone wires BE-
ing carried cut, apd not uatil 2 O'Clock
was connection made with the state
capital by means of poorly working
telephone. 1t is impossible at this
hour to give correct story, as there
are but the meagrest details of the
disaster to the befallen city. 1t is be-
lieved the loss of life will rea: h fully
fifty, while the more or less seriously
injured will approximate closely to one
hundred. The property loss will reach
the millions, as many of the finest
buildings wer destroyed The cries of
the Injured, the lamentations of wives,
daueh hters aud sweeth esrts bereaved
bv the 'rrible calamity that has befal-
len the city, makes this indeed night
of horror without parallel.
The streets are filed with debris.
The path of the tornado was straight
through the city. The houses
demolished were the property of labor
ing men and represent all their earn
ings. There is no cyclone insurance
auo the loss is total. The high school
is RUNE d, the First Baptist and Central
Methodist churches are entirely
demolished. The Methodist and
Catholic churches lost their spires, and
are nearly destroyed. The Old Rector
Place, the most historical in the state
and a favOrite resort, was destroyed by
fire during the tornado.
The details are simply horrible.
Ore man was found with pieces of
plate glass driven through his throat
A lady was found with her head
smashed fla,; another woman and three
childrea We're found in one group all
dead and terribly mutilated. DR..
Gates had hota arms and legs broken,
and his wife is dying at his side. The
dead at this hour, o'clock, is estimat-
ed sixty with the injured about twice
that number. Wires are Gown in
all directions from Ft. Smith and re-
ports of damsge in the surrounding
county are meagre but are thought
to be very great.
Up to noon thirty-six bodies have
been identified among the dead. The
plumber killed will reach at least
seventy, including ten killed outside of
town. A relief fund has been started
and six thousand dollars already SUBJ
scribed. Outside aid is not asked
for.

Twenty-Five bodies were taken frCm the

Kill edsapd perhaps the number will be
far greater. Six solid blocks of build

covered. The situation is simply
frightful. For hours after the disaster
it was impossible to reach any of the
injured and some of those who might
have been saved died of their injuries.
The city was in total darkness, and
rain came down in sheets. 1t was prac-
tically impossible to push the work of
rescue.

ments kept every skilled slide painter
in New York busy last summer. One
little woman told me that she worked
day and night, not excepting Sundays,
throughout the hottest weather.
The wonderful development and rapid
spread of the camera, especially for pic
torial entertainment, has given rise to
the professional operator. There are six
men in New York who give their time
to it exclusively. AS yet no woman has
made it ali exclusive profession, al
though the occasional operator is met
on every side. There's no reason why
women should not find it lucrative
calling. The professional man operator
recognizes her fitness, and I know two
men who are instructing their daugh-
ters in the art. The Wivesaf travelling
lecturers, who own their own cameras,
often operate, thereby dispensing with
the professional.
The general adoption of the camera
in schools and colleges has necessitated
women teachers to become skillful in
its manipulation. In many converts it
is in daily use. Drop into camera es-
tablishment, and three hours instruc-
tion will suffice a clever woman to
'soatch on to the principles involved.
In practice alone lies skill. Aside from
the mechanical, natural quickness, deft-
ness and artistic feeling are paramount
to good results These qualities are pre-
eminently feminine On the operator S
intelligence, quickness Of touch, sym
pathy and artistic temperament the lee
turer is almost wholly dependent for
the snoothness of the performance The
operator is to the lecturer what the ac-
compartment is to the singer.
