The musical trio, Lelliott, Busch &
Lelliott, with the AL G. Field Greater
Mlnstrels present a musical melange
that Is entirely different from that
which patrons of me theatre are accus-
toned to. Although there is a touch
of comedy here and there, the music
produced Is the chief attraction of
their work. No fake instruments are
used. They are thorough musicians
the tIios In the vlollns, cornets and
bells denote their proficiency. They
play the most difficult compositions in
terspersed with the popular airs.
Their hand bell ringing Is a feature In
Itself. One of Them plays a trombone
solo, using his feet to manipulate the
slide. The press OF other cities speaks
In very high terms of these talented
foreigners. They make their first
American appearance with the Al. G..

y Dead Sure Thing.

One thing is especially sure.
" hencver women want to vote
they will sure vote. Every man )
natural impulse is to crafty any
desires Of a woman. Any gcncr-
al longing on the part of women
for the ballot would he gratifed.
Nothing could stand before it. If
the average man found his wife
and daughters anxious to vote he
would ut once become a propa-
gandist of woman suffrage. The
anxiety of men TO give women the
ballot would become as strong a
force rs the desire of women to
exercise it.-New York CONNER

1t Just Makes Us Tired.

w hen we see n country editor
discuss the money question, and
tell the country the proper finan-
cIal policy to adopt we get
fatigucd. But when we hear
n farmer who has not saw
ed enough morey to run Il 1-horse
farm without giving a lien, do the
same thing we get very tired. -
The idea of man knowing how to
manage the finances of the coun-
try when he can't manage his own
little business without calling on
some gold bug for help is so pre-
posterous that we know of no way
of describing it.
The financial questions of a
country are the most difficult prob
lens that confront the statesman,
and not dozen men in the coun-
try know enough about it to com
mand decent consideration, but
the veriest idiot in the country
can settle it off hand. "A bbeville

Monday was new county day in
the State senate, and as re-
suit Lee will join the sisterhood
of counties and Pee Dee will have
another opportunity to do so. The
principal fight was made on the
concurrent resolution authorizing
the governor to order a new cleo
tion to determine the question of
establishment of Pee Dee county.
The result was big victory for
the new county. BY vote of 23
to 13 the senate declared that the
people should have, in view of the
alleged frauds in the first election.
a second chance to vote on this
new county question.

WHAT WILL SCHLEY D02
Speculation Now a. To Whether IL VIII
he Battle or Blockade.

KEY WEST. FLA. May $3.50 2. NJ.
-Everybody knows now that SPANS
flying squadron-four splendid cruisers
and two torpedo-boat destroyers-is i'm
prsoned in Santiago harbor.
This fact has been known here forty
eight hours. and the speculation now IS
over the probable disposition OF the Span
iards-whether they Will he blockaded or
the forts reduced and the vessels COM
PEELED TO fight.
In the latter case there can be but one
result. for Commodore Schley has some
OF the finest ships I'm the world. TO say
nothing of cruisers and various smaller
vessels. and could I'm a few days be re-
inforced by other powerful warships. II
would be foolhardiness on the part Of Ger
vera TO offer battle.
An interesting story remains TO be told
Of the reasons which led Cervera TO San
tiago and Of the way in which he was
hemmed in. II is now known that when
the Spanish Admiral started for the West
Indies he expected 10 enter San Juan de
Porto Rico for coal and supplies. on
touching at Curacao for news his plans
were upset by the receipt Of dispatches
telling him that Rear-Admiral Sampson
had bombarded the San Juan fortihca-
lions and was stil I'm the neighborhood
for the south coast of Cuba. Why he en-
tered Santiago harbor instead Of the har-
Dor OF Cienfuegos IS not known. The
American commanders we're inclined 10
think the Spaniards would go 70 the lat
ter port
It is certain that Cervera could not
have escaped from Santiago without be-
ing discovered. for the American scouts
had been prowlng about the port for
ten DAYS and other scouts had not been
far away. Practically. Santiago has
been blockaded for that length OF time.
Cervera's coal supply. which followed
him from Curacao TO Santiago. was cap
tured last Wedncsday-and at the very
moment when the Queen Regent was
cabling her congratulations the coils wsre
tightening about him.
The belief here IS that all other move
ments IN the West Indies will be held IN
allowance until the Spanish squadron Is
disposed OF. In case Santia-5o is attack
ed the news of battle will be sent from
Mole st. Nicholas and Kingston and the
prizes and wounded will be sent to Key
West.
The movements of vessels here to-day
was unimpOrtant.
