When will the time come when Gun
Gle Toms Cabin" will lose It's charm
to the rising generation? Judging from
its present freshness, its alluring pow
ers will be perennial. There is some
thin in the skillful combination OF the
PCT Nt'ic and the humorous that never
fails to fascinate and the story that it
tells of the suffering Of the poor slaves
appeals directly to tie finest senslb.l-
tiles of the human SUI. Such plays
are better than serm ms. They point
a moral and adorn j .aie. They teach
us lessons in shoughts;..Less ard char
ity. They impress on our minds he
precepts of the Golden Rule. Mrs.
Stoves book is one cf the greatest
books of literature, because it deals
with questions of iEmeasurable human
import, AMI the play l;ssif Is one Of
those simple masterpieces that can
never die. Ed f. Davis colossal In
Gle Toms Cabin Company will appear
at the Opera House Saturday, matinee
and night, December 18th.

All the world loves a lover. Such a
lover as Oliver Starbird in that catchy
comedy, "Other Peoples Money" cap
tivates the keenest sympathies of the
audience from the first, and holds them
with increasing power to the end OF
the play. Light hearted, cool aeaded,
courageous, diplomatic, determined,
witty and audacious, ne is just the kind
of a lover to win the heart of such a
healthy, viyacious and wholesome girl
as Marjory. Passionate ardor and
ready courage stir in his blood and the
provoking coquetries of the girl he
loves only serves to fire his soul with
an intense purpose to win her at what
ever cost. The desperation of his plan
is only equalled by the brilliancy of
its execution and the happiness of its
outcome. Mr.. Addison Pitt does full
justice to the character and in the COM
edy scenes with Hopper produces a
wholesome flavor upon the audience
and a strong foil for Mr.. Leroyle.
Opera House Tuesday evening.
John W. Isham's "Octoroons" will
be the attraction offered at the Grand
the last half Of this week with a pro-
gramme said to be varied and inter-
esting. The cast of characters num-
bers some of the best in their line,
the costumes are tasty and in harmony
with each particular scene, which latter
consists of some of the prettiest selec-
tons from the best comic or grand
operas, and also olios Of some of the
absurdities of the day. '7-11-77,'' the
curtain raiser, is Skit Astounding in
such ludicrous situations and apt hits
that an audience is at once thrown
into uncomfortable laughter, which
never entirely ceases until the cur
tain's fall. Among the specialties there
is not one but what is good and the
representations of one member of the
company cannot be excelled and sell
dom equalled by any competitor. The
voices show high cultivation, are
strong and sweet and the operate Sc
lections are all well rendered. The
programme closes with Thirty Min
utes Around the Operas and all who
enjoy good operate airs well sung and
staged should not miss this part of the
evenings entertainment.

That Sheep Dip Case.

Monday afternoon of this week the
case of the Territory vs. Manuel Pa
dills. waternaster of this city, was
called up for trial. The defendant
pleaded guilty to the charge of turn
ing the indescrioably nauseous, poi
sonous fluid, in which Ricardo Abeyta
had dipped a couple of thousand
scabby sheep, into the water mains
which convey the water from the
spring to the city.
The court gave Senior Padilla re-
gular Dutch uncle lecture and tried to
impress upon his mind the enormity of
his crime and assessed fine of 800 as
the only punishment; also requiring
him to Immediately remove all filth
and mud from the reservoir above
town.
While this ridiculously light punish
ment for q crime so black will be q
disappointment to the people who
we're the innocent victims of this fell
lows criminal disregard for the health
(which is putting it very light of this
community, it is about all that could
be done in the csse, as among other
things done by the 33rd legislature
the law governing such cases was so
amended as to make such an offense a
misdemeacor instead of q felony.

BISHOP NELSON, of the Episcopal
d iocese of Georgia, has declared him
self opposed to prohibition. In q re-
cent sermon he said he opposed it
because it interfered with the God-giv-
en- RICH: of personal liberty. He de-
clared that from his observation he
b sd come to the conclusion that pro-
hibition laws were ineffective where
ever they had been tried. He spoke of
the state of Maine, whose citizens had
found that there was more intemper-
uce under rigid prohibition laws than
under local option system. He as-
serted that there is more intemper-
ance in eating in Georgia than there is
in whisky drinking. The bishop ex-
planned that he did not approve intern
perance, but declared that prob ibition
did little if anything to remove the
vice. It may be said here that q pro-
hibi,ion bill is now pending in the leg
islsture of Georgia and that Geor

excuse or prOvocation. Threats OF
lynching were heard. Mobs were &C
tually formed, needing only an impetu-
GUS leader to engage in fearful work.
Ell Paso was perilously near, that
night and the next. to an outburst OF
popular crime that would have given
this city terrible blow. The men
who advocated lynch law became for
the moment anarchists. They were
enemies to the community. If they
hsd attempted to break the Jail they
" ould have been shot down like dogs.
Bl oodshed would have resulted from
the mad attempt, and there might have
been more than one man tried for
murder.
But what stayed the hand of the
mob? There was no man willing to
swear positively that young Garcia
fred the fatal shot-no man to be found
willing to lead mob against pos
chilly Innocent man. The indignant
protests that arose against mob law
silenced all mutterings, and the law
was allowed to take its course.
The grand jury took hold OF the case.
Quietly and thoroughly they went over
all the points and brought in true
bill. Within seven weeks of the COM
mission of the crime the alleged MUIR
derer was brought to the bar for trial.
The trial was a sensation. It was re-
vesled that the state had evidence
that would permit of no successful re-
buttal. No defense, practically. was
put up, and the case, from having been
deeply obscure, became clear and the
duty of the jurors was plain.
The fact that the state had con-
elusive evidence against the accused
had been kept profound secret. Had
this not been done, 1t would have been
difficult to secure competent jury.
AS q result, the jury was one of the
best that has ever sat upon a criminal
case n this county. 1t was composed
of sterling and capable business and
professional men, whose judgment is
and whose names repres-
emit the permanent and stable element
in the community. It is said that
e very man when he took his seat in
t he jury box did so firm in the belief
that there could be no conviction ow-
ing to lack of evidence. But they
were willing to send q man to his
eternal sleep on the strength of what
they heard.
How much better it is this way, than
that there should have been a horrible
lynching carnival in our fair city.
The reign of justice is unbroken. Our
magnificent jury system, often bitterly
assailed, is again vindicated. The
law has outwitted and outwon the
mob. Through legal channels the law
has done what the mob could never
have done-exerted q distinct elevat-
ing and educational influence through
the prompt administration of strict
Justice.
Let US not forget this Garcia case |
when next we have to meet crisis. Ell |
2sso has reason to congratulate herself
hat to abide by the law is the desire
# most OF her citizens. It rests with
he people themselves whether the
light shall prevail. The forms of law

THE LAWS MAJESTY.

FL Paso has recently given to the
world spectacle of the laws work
ings that ought to cause the heart OF
every citizen to rejoice. For the third
time q murderer has been convicted of
his crime and sentenced to pay the
death penalty. For the third time
within few months the reign of law,
30 often disputed has been triumphant
ly upheld, and the people who some
times doubt have been convinced that
regard for the forms of law has not
destroy ed the love of right and justice
in their fellow men. The forms of law
should not and do not obstruct but ia
cilitate the administration of justice.
This last case, decided yesterday by
the unanimous vote of twelve men, has
some striking points of difference from
the other two. And each of the other
two has something to distinguish it.
The man Geronimo Para was SEN
fenced 20 death for crime committed |
over ten years ago. Remorselessly the |
hounds of the law pursued him, and |
when he was overtaken there were yet I
men to testify as to the facts of the
case. This man was delivered up to
death after long record of crime.
The death penalty seems to have been
deser we'd more than once. The carry
ing cut of the sentence will relieve
7sha community of a great burden, and
no doubt many of the jurymen had
something of this feeling when they
voted guilty
The case of this man had in it much
of the spirit of the ole frontier. The
man he murdered years ago had
his friends, who would not let up
" bile the murderer was at large. The
victim WAS q popular fellow, and even
st this day revenge will be sweet to
many q man who we'll remembers all
the circumstances surrounding the
crime.
Antonio Flores was sentenced to
die for stabbing Mexican woman to
death on the railroad track. In this
ca sc the parties were Mexicans OF the
lower class. The case had no particu-
lar inter est outside of a limited circle.
The crime was very brutal one, and
attr acted much attention at the time
OF its commission, but the course OF
Justiee was determined solely by the de-
sire to punish the wrongdoer and set
an example for the future. There WAS
no sopal feeling involved, and the
case was very simple one.
Not so the Garcia case. The result OF
the balloting by the jury yesterday
must be taken as a real triumph for
law and right above the forces of
anarchy and wrong. Let us review
tbe case briefly. Sunday night, Oct
ober 1, young Ed. O'Connor was SHOT

German Lutherans Enjoy an East
Park Picnic

Inc German Lutherans held their an
nual picnic and May festival at East
Park grove yesterday The weather
was rather uncertain early in the morn
ing. the sky being clouded and threat
enlng shower. Later on the sun
broke through and the rest of the day
was as beautiful and perfect as could
be wished for picnic.
AT 9:4o sharp the children and the
teachers of the Sunday school started
from the church at Twelfth and K
streets. Three street cars were crowded
to their fullest capacity, and going first
to the depot started back to Seventh
and K streets, and thence out to the
Park on the G-street line.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon fully
800 children were enjoying themselves,
with about as many adults. The day
was spent in playing various games, old
and young participating. The bean
bag contests for the young and the mar
rled ladies, the potato race, etc., were
especially interesting, the winners being
awarded some handsome prizes.
Inc ice cream and lunch tables were
freely patronized and nice sum of
money was realized for the benefit of
the Sunday-school. Taken in all, the
picnic was a fine success and everybody
went home happy.
