trict. Messrs. Lambert and Eaves VS..
Kerley and Souther, was next taken up.
Col. p. j. Sinclair appeared before the
committee and stated that he had it
from former counsel for contestees that
Mr.. G. Crawford, an ex-member of the
Legislature, had advised contestees to put
off taking evidence and then appear be-
fore committee and ask for time to take
evidence; that they would thereby be
enabled to sit half the session out before
the contest could be settled.
Judge Avery later appeared before the
committee and made practically the same
statement. As constituent of contest
ants he asked that the contest be de-
cided as early as possible, stating that
the citizens of the Thirty-E'irst were
anxious to be represented by the men
whom they had elected. In view Of
these new developments committee recon-
sidered the grant of 10 days time
given contestees on yesterday morning,
and Mr.. r. o. Burton, their counsel, was
cited to appear before committee at 9 a.
M to-day and show cause why the COM
mttee should not hear the case at once.
The prediction that contestants will be
seated is a tolerably safe one, in view
of all the facts.
Col Sinclair, in speaking Of the people
of Mitchell county, said they are de-
scendants of Kinks men, and all they
want to know is how many votes are
needed to carry the county, Congression-
al district, and State, and they can be
depended on to put them in the boxes.

At the age of two years she began
playing on her toy piano a familiar air
which startled and surprised all who
heard her. At the age of two and a
half years she had shown signs Of won
derful progress, and when at three she
could accompany the violin very nicely
with the piano. From this time she be-
gan to improve rapidly and musicians
were astonished at her rythm. The little
girl never cared for childish pleasures,
but would sit at the piano hours at the
time, playing piece after piece without
striking false note. She attended
many musicals and was on the program
of many local entertainments. She ex-
cited the wonder and admiration of all
who came in contact with her especially
some of our New York artists who had
the pleasure of knowing her. The little

retained his presence of mind and shot
the deer. The buck weighed seyenty-fve
pounds when dressed. Each evening the
party named their camp. The first night
it was called Camp Jersey, in honor OF
Mr. Smith. The excursionists ate supper
about six o'clock and turned in each
evening about 1880 o'clock. One evening,
when they were in Camp Illinois, named
in honor of Mr.. Smiths brother Charles
of Chicago, on Arbuckle Creek, Mr.. Chas.
Smith thought he heard a gobble and
started into the swamp to get MS WIG
turkey. The others went to sleep, About
ten o'clock Mr.. Smith returned said
he had a magnificent wild turkey and
wanted them to get up and help him eat
it. The others refused, but Mr.. Smith
prepared his game and ate it.. He was
very i'll all night and in the morning it
was discovered that he had shot a water
turkey, which, from the fact that it
feeds ON fish. and reptiles, is not fit to
eat.
Mr.. Smith had ample opportunity to
observe the extent of the damage 3of
the big freeze of February 10. He says
that in the eastern and northern part OF
the State the oranges were badly injured
and the vegetables are entirely gone. Not
a grove on the Palatka River has a

b. four years before the trees will bear
again. Abou Lake George he saw four

Bob Fitssimmons at the Bijou.

~4S
Bob Fitzsimmons is again in W He
and his high-class company of vaudevliie
stars hold forth at the Bijou Theatre for
the week. 1t is an excellent company
and last night it drew Cor at least BOD
did a crowded house. The programme
opens with IN amusing farce entitled
s.The Laugh Maker-A Woman Mad in
the cast of which Frank H. White, Phil
Mcfarland. Miss Pearl Bradburn ana
George H. Whitman appear.
Drawee, Americas premier juggler, fol-
lows with his famous feat of juggling.
He juggles with everything, from a match
to a heavy spinning truck wheel. At one
time he keeps a trunk, an umbrella and
his oyercoat in the air. He is without
doubt one of the most famous jugglers OF
he day. McWatters and Tyson give an
amusing sketch entitled "A Dressing
Room Scene, which affords them plenty
Of opportunity to get in some fine i'm
p~ersonation or mimic work.
Beautiful Theo, as she is appropriately
called. gives clever exhibition of musical
skill in handling the xylophone, Tyre,
Swiss hand bells and sleigh bells. The
Brothers Carpos give an artistic and won
Q6Tlul dCIODdliC pCi1Ol y oiNA OAA
roy and Mcfarland, Irish comedians, give
the freshest and funniest gag that have
been heard on any stage in this city in
some time. Considerable amusement is
afforded by the Folly Trio, Ward, Brad
burr and Murphy.
The Sic Hassan Ais troop of TOO
zooinn Arabs do some great acrobatic
feats and whirl so rapidly in their somer-
saults, side hand springs, ETC.. towards
the close hat it makes ones head swim
to look at them.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons, the star attraction,
closes the programme with a marvellous
exhibition at -bag-punching and a three
round sparring bout with his sparring
partner, Yam Kenny. With one of his
heavy slams at the bag last night he
broke the rope by which it was suspended
and sent the sphere, like a huge foot
ball. flying almost to the top gallery. The
bout between him and Yank Kenny was
a bit lively and both were greatly APP
plauded.
