MINsTREIs RICH IN GOOD THINGS

The union Of the two clever artists,
George Primrose and Lew Dockstader,
has resulted in the formation OF a
splendid minstrel company. and will
be eeen here ON Mbnday night at the
Opera House. Il is said that there are
several distinct departures from the
minstrel style as generally seen. To
begin with, the list Of high-c,ass per-
formers is a long one and embraces a
great many particularly bright lights.
In the first part, when the curtain goes
up, the stage setting will be seen to be
CT a very prekenkious nature, and in
stead Of the company being seated as
is usual, only the scenic environments
will be discovered; but, as the great
military band, under the leadership OF
Carl Carleton, starts a stirring melody
the whole company viii come upon the
stage and take its place. The orches.
ira wiz be in charge Of Professor la

rose, Lew Dockstader, Lew Sully and

man in this vicinity. avs the New Or
lans Picayune. He had been engaged
on the river beats since he was boy
of sixteen, and he was seventy nine
years old at the time of his death. He
was born in Stanton, Va, in 1919, and
was q venerable patriarch of Neptune.
No man in these parts knew the steam
boat trade better than he, and he had
lived here long enough to see the city
develop from town to metropolis.
He was one of the oldest mates on
the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, and Of late years he has been a
stevedore on the levee. Old age soon
began to tell its story, and Captain
Safely was gathered to the fathers.
Deceased had run on some of the best
known boats on the river. Among
the many were the old Natchez, Bos-
iona, Uncle Sam, Quitman and At
lantic. Captain Safely was man OF
splendid integrity and wide popularity,
and his death will cause much sorrow
to large circle of old-time friends. A

Railroad Over the Andes.

Advices recently received from the
United States consular agent at Quay
aquil, Ecuador, announcing that iffl-
portant concessions have been granted
to American capitalists by the Ecua-
dorian government, were confirmed in
New York city on Wednesday.
The company which obtained those
concessions, including the right to
build railways and establish financial
institutions, was formed some years
ago, the original concess1onaries being
Peter C. Hewitt, a son of ex-Mayor
Hewitt, and Archer Hartman. 1t was
incorporated under the name of the
Ecuadorian Improvement Company.
The railroad which the improve
ment company proposes to build will
run from Guayaquil, the seaport OF
Ecuador, over the Andes mountains,
to Quito, a distance of about 800 miles.
1t Is estimated that it will take about
ST. 500, 600 to build the road, as many
engineering difficulties will have to be
surmounted.
The Mr.. Hartman alluded to is ma.
tive of this city and son of the late
Colonel Hartman, and relative OF
many of the Harmans now residing
here.
