HOGAN,S ALLEY.

Some Of the large audience
which assembled on Wednesday
night to witness this play eX-
pressed themselves afterwards as
virtaously indignant. 1t was $50
rude. 50 coarse, SO common, SO
tacl,y. 50 vulgar 50 anything
but nice and elegant, NOW we
cannot altogether agred III lliS
verdict. Hogan's Alley is not an
aethetic play to be sure. There
isno moral in it at all. Neither is
there any plot. 1t is tough from
ctart to finish. But it doesn't
profess to be classic, or moral, or
hightoned. If people are on the
lookout for that sort of thing
they shouldn't 90 TO Hogan 5 Al
ley to find it. The people and the
performance seen on tne stage
here on Wednesday night were
Just about what you would natur-
ally expect to find in Hogan's Al
ley, minus the dirt and the misery.
We don't think the public have
any kick coming to them on this
score. If you 90 to see Hogan
Alley YOU should he prepared to
meet Mr.. and Mrs. Hogan, Liz,
Luke. the Yellow Kid, and all the
rest of them. OF course they are
horrid, but pray what did you
expect
The only complaint that may
Justly be made is that's show
should cost good round 'plunk' to-
see it. That was shame, but it
wasn't The fault of the players or
the manager, but Of the people
themselves, who won't build an
opera house.

"IlKE THE WILDERNESS. ="

'sLIKE THE WILDERNESS"
"At Marilao, a city of 5000
Filipinos, the American columns
bivouaeked tonight. In the morn
ing the fighting will be resumed.
1T will be like the Wilderness
from this time on, said General
Corbin, with his eyes on the map.
SO says a Philippine dispatch of
the 27th. If it will be like the
Wilderness" General Corbin may
as well give up the job, for the
Americans are whipped already.
The Wilderness campaign lasted
for ten months, and in thirty days
from its commencement Grant had
lost more men than Lee had in his
whole army-At Cold Harbor, the
final struggle of that ghastly Cam
paign, the Federal troops absolute
Ilv mutinied and refused to obey
the orders of their officers to
charge-the first time such Il thing
ever happened in the history OF
American warfare. The campaign
of the Wilderness was one long
and bloody record Of disaster and
defeat to the Union forces, and
the only thing that enabled them to
Irecuperate from it was the fact
that at its close the Federal govern
meat raised and put into the field
another army, while Lee had none
| left to fight with. But General Cor
/ bin doesn't know what he IS talk
ling about. Aguinaldo and his
naked savages are not Lee and his
matchless followers. The com.
parison is insulting and absurd
and if Corbin is looking forwarc
to anything like the week Of bat
tie called the Wilderness, the aw-
iful drama Of Spottsylyania, the
months of almost incessapt battle
in the swamps of the Chickahoml.
nv, the daily-renewed slaughter
of Turkey Hill and Cold Harbor,
he had better advise his govern
ment to sue tor peace at once up
on the best terms the Filiplno'
are willing to grant.

c. H. BLUM.

As far az The TINES knows,
Mr.. Blum's information is correct.
1t is quite true that Mr.. kelIner
was employed by the Board to
examine the books of the Secre-
tarv and Treasurer, and made the
report, as stated by Mr.. Blum.
Did the items Of credit exist at
the time of Mr.. Kellner's report Z
The TINES is unable to say;
though it would appear strange
that they could have escaped the
notice of book keeper and eX-
pert of Mr.. Kellner's acknowl-
edged skill and acumen. The
credits are first brought to public
notice in the report of the com
mittee of its members appointed
at the regular meeting of January,
1899. to examine the items of dis
pute presented by Messrs. Keliner
and Anderson, and by the Finance
Committee of the Boar on the
same date, which report states
that Mr.. Kellner's report was cor
rect.
The books we're examined by
Mr.. Anderson after the overflow
of 1897, by Mr.. Kellner la '98,
and again, as appears from the
minutes of the special meeting of
January 27-2s, 1899, by Mr.. An
derson. to whom $4,000 was paid
The Greenville times., 1899-04-01
for the service.

for the service,
1t would naturally appear that
the examination of the books by
so skillful IL book-keeper as Mr..
KelIner would render Il subse-
uuent examination of the same ac-
counts superAuous; but the repeat
ed examinations may possibly
be accounted for by the action of
the Grand Jury, who, in their ro-
port, stated that the books were
kept IN such a manner rs to make
it impossible to report as to their
correctness;a ;and that they were salts
fed, from examination and testi-
mony of expert book-koepers,
that it was difficult, if not impos-
slble, to ascertain from them the
financial condition of the board,
This being the case, there Is
serious reason for the apprehen-
sion expressed at the conclusion
of our correspondents letter.
1t is impossible not to regard
such questions IRON such a man
as Mr.. Blum as most significant.
He Is one of the largest taxpayers
and most responsible business men
in the district, and his letter is an
indication that the taxpayers and
supporters of the Levec Board are
becoming impatient under its sys-
tenn of secret sessions, puzzling
accounts, aud ever increasing eX-
penditures.

st. James Episcopal Church,
a,reodv beautifed with so many
handsome memorials. has been
further enriched by the presenta-
tion of two costly windows, one a
memorial TO the late Mrs. W A.
Percy, and the other to Mr. D. .
Mcdonald and Mrs. Lula Penny
Mcdonald.
The Percy window. which occu-
pies a place in the West transept,
has for its subject the well-known
Easter design of two angels flying
toward the light, and bearing a
scroll with the words And l saw
= new heaven and a new earth
The Mcdonald window is placed
in the East transept, and its design
is two angels holding crown OF
fiobt over a tomb, on which a cross
- laid The legend is: Il have
fought the good fight. l have
kept the faith. l have finished
NV course. Hereafter there IS
laid up for me a crown of justice Z
It is fitting that the memory OF
Mrs. Percy and Mrs. Mcdonald
should thus be perpetuated in the
church to which the lives of both
we're devoted. But beautiful as
these memorials are, there are more
beautiful and lasting ones III the
hearts of the many who knew and
loved them.

SOME QUESTIONS FROM A TAN
PAYER.


TO The Editor of the GreenyIlo Times
notice in the published pro
ceedines of the Board Of Missis-
sippi Levee Commissioners that at
its Jan 27, 1899, meeting as re-
suit of an expert examination OF
the books of the Secretary and
Treasurer of the Board, he was
credited with one item of SSSO,50,
and several other items amounting
to two or three hundred dollars,
with which it was stated he had
been improperly charged.
As taxpayer, l would like to
get from you the following infor-
nation:
Did not the Board employ Mr..
Ernest Kellner, paying him $3.50
as an expert to examine the books
of the Secretary and Treasurer OF
the Leyee Board, and did not he in
July Of last year report that the
Secretary and Treasurer was about
| IS17O0. 90 short in his accounts with
! the Board? Did the items Of
credit allow to said Secreta and
| Treasurer as above stated eN st IN
his favor at the time of the report
made by Mr.. Kellner If so,
why were they not discovered
and reported by him : How
mnch has the Board paid within
the last year for expert eXamina-
ton of the books of the Secretary
and Treasurer, and to whom has
lit made payments Z What eX-
pert examination revealed these
credits which were not discovered
by Mr.. Kellner !
Ny reason for asking this in
| formation is that | have been in
| formed that the Board of Missis-
sippi Levee Commissioners has
paid during the past II months
over 10000 to experts for exam
ming the books of the Leyee
Board; that they paid Capt. +. W.
Anderson S4OO,O 90 for going over
said books after the highwater of
1897: paid Mr.. Kellner S25O.OO
for the examination of them last
summer, and at its last meeting
allowed Capt F. W, Anderson
! S250.OO for q re-eXaminatlon OF
them. 1t seems 1t is expensive
and must be a very peculiar sys-
TEN of book keeping which re-
quires the expenditure by the
Board of 100000, nearly half Of
the annual salary Of the Off
Ger. for expert examination in
order to discover the condition
of the accounts between the
! BOARD and ifs Secretary and Treas
urer. and the hardship Of it on the
taxpayers is aggravated if tins
money has been paid to experts
whose examination Of the books
| has been of no value, Dir. hell-
ner's examination must have been
a very defective one if he failed tc
report credits that existed amount
ING to over 100000. What rea'
| son have the taxpayers to suppose
| that the correct status OF the boCN'
has been at last as9ertained, OF
that it may not be necessary loeX'
pend further sums in order to ar
rive at the true status, There may
be large credits still due to The
Secretary and Treasurer undls.
covered, or there may be a deficit by
him which still another expert eX
animation would reveal. Has any
part,of the expenses of these eXaml
nations, which seem to have beer
neeessitated by the method IL
which the books were kept beer
paid by the Secretary END Treas
urer Of the Board
