The EARLY Action of II Missouri Post
of the &. a. II.
To the Editor of The Times:
In an editorial in The Times of 21st
instant you say that it is significant that
the first Grand Army post to act on the
Presidents speeches in the South adopt
ed resolution heartily indorsing his
sentiments and indorsing the suggestion
of Federal care for the graves of the
Confederate dead.
l wish to call your attention to the
fact that the President and the Grand
Army Post in Pennsylvania are four
teen years behind McCook Post. G. A
R., of Lamar, Barton County. Missouri
containing eighty-three members. from
some twenty States in the North, which
in the Summer of 1884 passed the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That the members of McCook Post
No. "a; Department of Missouri, G. A. r.,
heartily indorse the efforts Of Gen. MaiTnaduke
TO raise fund to fence and protect the graves Of
the Confederate dead at Springfield Mo-
Resolved, That the post continue its entertain
ment one evening more, and that the entire pro-
ceeds be donated to the Gen. Msrmaduke fund for
the benefit OF the Springfield Confederate Ceme-
terry; and be it further 900
Resolved, That invitation be extended to
Gen. Maimaduke and Gen. Joe Shclby'ito lie
present on the occasion. ii-;a
Gen. Marmaduke and other prominent
exConfederates made speeches in the pub
lie square. In the afternoon, before the
the entertainment, Hon. C. H. Morgan, NJ
c.. and Mai. Kimball. afterward candidate
for governor On the Republican ticket, also
made speeches. Mai. William Warner, COM
mander-in-chief of the Department OF Mis-
souri,, gave his hearty Endorsement to the
action of the post.
The entert ainmeDt was n financial enc
cess, between 5000 and s400 being realized
and paid over to Gen. Marmaduke.
The man who introduced the above reso-
lutions was then an ex-Union officer and a
member of McCook Post, and is now in the
War Department in this city. ! was pres

to call the attention of the public to these
facts and show that those who actually

THINGS THEATRICAL.

There is no city in the county mo q
conservative than washington and. as a
result, new productions rarely ach eve
financial even when they have attained
artistic success here. Localities have
cultivated the habit of waiting for the
verdict Of other towns before wasting
their money on current attractions-not
through lack of faith in themselves. brt
because OF an understanding OF the false
persuasiyeness of the average press
agent They realize, too, that changes
are often made after an initial perform
ance, that companies are frequently in
sufficiently rehearsed. and wait for the
lapse OF time to better presentation be-
fore witnessing it. Thus the Little
Minister last seasons greatest triumph,
was greeted here in anything but Cor
dial manner and several like hits have
not received their ,meed of patronage.
This is not proving true Of David Bel.s-
co.'s 'Zaza," in which unusual interest
has been taken. Houses have grown IN
size regularly until the engagement ds
fair to be the best OF the year at the La
fayette Square Opera House. Ana this
greeting is well deserved. Not only. is
"Zaza" remarkable play. but it is re-
markably played. Under the author 3
supervision the excellent organization Sc
cured for the production works without a
hitch. The interpreted business is
ample. the ensemble perfect and every
member of the cast is faultless in his or
her lines. Very few changes will be
made in the Offering before it enters New
York and these will be more in the na-
ture of omission than anything else. Mr..
Froham's scenery and costumes are ad-
mirable while the properties are marvels
of detail. Those who do not see ''Zaza'
this week are doing themselves an injus-

the master-work of Ashley Cooper. All
day long the rooms at 1903 Pennsylvania
Avenue are thronged with people whose
artistic tastes and cultivation fit them for
expressing an opinion of the canvas and
then makes that opinion reliable. In this
case the singular number is correct in
mentioning the ideas expressed. For no
single person has been found whose criti-
cism OF the picture has been anything but
enthusiastically favorable. Under such a
stimulus there is small wonder that
more spectators view the painting daily
and that many of these return for another
look .'Trilby'' is a marvellous work and
deserves all the success it has achieved.

By pulling itself together in the eighth

from this on, however, and succeeded in
preventing the Y. NJ. C. AS from scoring
again. while they tailed just enough runs
to make them win.
The Y. M. H. AS got in their work in

Juan Among the Women.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 9.-Henry C. Moody,
a peddler "a years of age. an age when
he should know better. is behind Fulton
county bars on charge of bigamy.
If the accusation is well founded. the
aged peddler, who has been doing business
out of Atlanta for years. is quite To-
thario.

brought him to bay and declares that she
will have revenge for his heartlessness.
The woman IS Mrs. S. f. Stephens, the au-
thor of the warrant upon which the pris-
oner will be given a preliminary trial next
Friday before Justice Landrum.
= is claimed that Moody has a wife and
tw children at Tallapoosa. but notwith-
standing this, he married Miss Lille
Chapman, residing in Bellwood, a suburb
last year The records also bear this
charge out. Moody and wife No have
been living together since the ceremony
that united them
The novel feature Of the case however
is the part taken by Mrs Stephens, the
prosecutor. 1t appears that Moody courted
this lady, a dashing Bellwood widow, be-
fore he contracted marriage with Miss
Chapman, her rival. This triumph of the
hated rival angered the widow and caused
her to swear out the warrant for the heart

CARoLINA's DIsPENsARY LAW.
Three Counties Exempted From Its
Operations by the Legislature.

Columbia, s. C..Feb. AT the night ses-

was taken up and killed by postponement
Then the House dealt what friends de-
clared to be vital blow to the dispensary

ems and Oconee from the operations of the
dispensary law. The exemptions were
made without a fight. 1t is feared many
other counties viii follow.
The counties exempted formerly had To-
cal option and were sometimes dry and
sometimes permitted the sale Of liquor.
The prohibition bill has been killed.
