THE ANDREWS OPERA co.
Charming Presentation of "Carmen'
Last "Wednesday Evening.

Henderson has not been favored by
any finer constellation of theatrical
stars than the Andrews Opera Com
pany, nor have Henderson theatre
goers ever enjoyed finer thing than
Carmen" Its presentation was we'll
nigh faultless each part being sus-
tanned in most admirable and ar
tistic manner while the chorus was
we'll balanced and we'll trained.
The performance throughout was
superb, the story of Carmen as told
in song very enjoyable. Mr.. F. W.
Walters as Don JOSE" in the leading
male character, sustained his part
most admirably. He has a fine tenor
voice and was favorite with the au-
dience from the time he made his first
appearance. Mr.. Geo. Andrews was q
handsome .'Toreador" and capable
actor, with a good voice. Miss Mryta
French was pretty and pleasing
Carmen" with a pure, sweet voice,
and her singing and acting were both
delightful. Miss Catherine Lee lack
ing nothing in voice, personality or
acting in the role of "Michaela," and
the card Duet as sung by Misses
Pearle Nightser and Irene Palma,
"friends of Carmen" was very sweet
and pretty. Messrs. w. c. Howard,
+. j. Mccarthy and Ed. Andrews
ably sustained their respective parts
while the entire support was good.
The costumes were bright and pref
ty, the special scenery attractive and
effective, the music excellent and en-
joyable. In short there was nothing
wanting to make it a finished perfor-
mance-a rare and rich treat in every
particular.

RUMORS FALSE AND FOOLISH.
All the Outgrowth of the Small Pox
Case-About Compulsory Vaccina-
ton. Quarantine Regulations. Etc.

The GOLD LEAF wants to compli-
ment the people of Henderson. That
they are sensible and conservative
we were well assured, but that there
would be no more excitement when it
was known that case of small pox
existed in the community, was little
to be expected. There was no cause
for alarm to be sure but everybody
did not understand the situation. and
then to some folks the bare mention
of small pox is enough to throw them
into spasms. Not so with Hender-
son folks, however, they have behaved
! well and will continue to do so. Be
yond question as to the status of
| the case and how the Young man is
getting on it is but little discussed
The patient is receiving the very
best of medical attention and no one
seems to question that he will get
well or feel any apprehension that
the disease will not be confined to
| present limits and readily stamped
out with sufficient time. And that is
the proper and sensible view to take.
Quarantine regulations apply only
to the person affected with small pox
and few others who may have been
| exposed (by associating more or less
| with him before the nature of the dis
ease was determined) as precaution
airy measure to prevent its further
spreading. That is all. People can
come and 60 as they have always done
| without let or hindrance. This by
way denial of the false and foolish
rumor that people who come to Hen
derson will be Observation-Disclosures
| here against their wishes.
Compulsory vaccination does not
apply to people living outside OF Hen
derson. DO not stay away from fear
of being lassoed and thrown down
and vaccinated before you can get
away.
Small poN need not keep you away
| from HendersOn-unless you have it,.
There is positively no danger of your
getteng it here.
