fashionable "nigger" bellies to per-
fection. AS cake walkers, they could
make the original Miss Coon" ashamed
of herself
AS Middle man Mrs. Herb Buck
could not be excelled. She performed
her part with dignity. She wore $1,000
worth of "nigger" diamonds
Mrs. JilsOn was one of the brsvest
end men of the bunch. She occupied
the box with Madam Patti and together
they directed the attention of the
audience their way goodly portion of
the time
The little "niggers" come in for a
share of the praise. They were as COM
icsl as the genuine "pickininies," and
were led in their performance by Stella
Reyn olds.
Miss Mamie Hohsm furnished the in
strumental music for the minstrel and
Prof. Russell directed the performance
from q seat in front of the stage.
The defamstory editor was the only
fellow disappointed. He had suf-
ficient arrogance to imagine that the
ladies would dignity him with "roast."
They did no such thing. They ignored
his attacks and their silent contempt is
the cause of his feeling so cheap today.
1t is to De hoped that the scandal
monger and the defamstory sheet will
now take TO the woods.
The minstrel girls informed the
audience that Gid BIsin had gone over
to Florence to stay-Florence, Italy.
One of the jokes: If some man gave
Frank Brooke counterfeit half dollar,
what would you think? Would think
ne should get better-half.
Another joke: Why is the end of
Rudolph KlOepfers nose like the sus-
pension bridge? So many schooners
pass under it.
Joke number three: What is invisable
blue? Tom CLANCY, when he is wanted.
Joke number four: Chas. Witfong is
the best boy in town. Why? He never
falls from Grace.
Joke five: Isn't there good chance
for us dsrkies going to Heaven? Yes,
because we have good show.
Joke six: Some one said Harry Cor
biz was commisssry general. Another
disputed, saying that he was cook, be-
cause he "Stewed- bakers Tigers"
Joke seven: Why does Rolio Ogles-
bee sleep so wellp Because he can lie
well on either side.
The girls summed up John Losey as
a short cake; Otto Albert as pound
cake; Lee Kendall as Devils cake and
Jim Gilmore as Angel food.
One of the darkies had an awful
dream-she dreamed that she saw Jim
DelOney working.
There were many more apt local
hits, but time and space forbids our re-
producing them all. The girls sprung
one good one on Prof Russell, however
which deserves mentioning. One lady
began sprinkling the floor when the
middle man inquired what she was do
ing. The answer came that she was
sprinkling Prof. Russell's jokes-they
were so dry.

Boy Instantly Killed.

One of the most horrible accidents
yet recorded occurred Saturday morn
ing on the William Mishler farm, about
nine miles east of this city, says the
Goshen Times. The victim was the
two and a half year old son of Levi
Mast, who is farming the place. Mr..
Mast hsrnessed his horses about 8
o'clock and was driving from the yard
when his little son playfully ran ahead
and pulled open the gate. His arms
were not strong enough to hold the
gate ajar and as the wagon passed the
heavy gate rebounded, thowing the
child beneath the rear wheels of the
truck. The father did not observe the
child's fall until its head mad been
chrushed, the boy having died almost
instantly.

A Damnable Slanderer.

The News has been advertising itself
down for The past year by making
vicious personal attacks upon respect
able citizens, but it commenced dishing
up venom and outrageous insults by
the wholesale in Mondays issue,
charging that the advertising which the
fifty ladies of Plymouth, who or
ganized minstrel here for the benefit
of the Altar Guild, is so obscene and
vulgar as not to be permissible in the
mails. The charge is so damnably out
rsgeous and 80 maliciously false that
the Independent regrets to notice it.
But in the interest of the ladies who
are sufferers from such an attack, we
feel called upon to denounce this in
famous defamer of pure women, women
who have grown up in our city and who
represent the best families of the city.
Shame upon the reprobste that would
dare to pour his foul bilge-water upon
hearthstones of respectable families.
1t is not for the Independent to take
up any grievance that Prof. Russell
may have We take it that he will sue
for libel. and get judgment. 1t will re-
quire nothing more than q submission
of the article to the court. The article
itself cOnvicts, without q single word
from an attorney.
But the defsmatory sheet says that
this man who has been received into
the homes of the best families in Plym-
Outh is not gentleman, that he is q
fakir, vicious tramp, dead beat, q
| fleecer, swindler, a man with q de-
praved nature, fiend in human shape.
Ladies of Plymouth, the Independent
knows and 30 do allrespectsble people of
this city know that you would not take
into your homes such character as the
News vilely portrays. The very names
of the ladies connected with the enter
tainment, as we'll as the high character
of the society under whose auspices the
entertainment is to be given, is proof
positive that the gentleman slandered,
has conducted himself properly and
hOnOraOly here. We do not blame the
ladies for feeling deeply hurt. The
scandal mOnger's tongue is poisonous
his access to public print makes him
thrice damnable. His offense can not
be psrdoned, except on the grounds of
insanity, which ID certainly charitable
construction.
Many of the ladies have called at the
Independent office and denounced
the News, going SO far as to say they
positively would pstronize no merchant
advertising in it hereafter. Believing
it to be a vile and disrespectable publ.
cation, they were of the opinion that il
is a part OF their duty to the commun.
ity to see hat it 10 confiscated root and
branch.
1t has been quietly limited that
the good will of the News and Repub-
licsn has 30 nearly vanished that Ger
