THINGS THEATRICAL.

Arthur Pinero's pretty little play.
Sweet Lavender" which will be presented
by the Frawley Company next week at the
Columbia Theatre, has always been sort
OF mascot for the organization which Is to
offer it here. The piece was the first cne
to be put on by the new and untried troupe
which bore Mr.. Frawley's name to San
Francisco, and, though there were many
opposing circumstances and thirteen peo-
pie in its cast, Sweet Lavender" broke
all records and knocked aside all super
stitions by scoring such a run as prolonged
the stay in the California city to thirteen
weeks. In the combination which staged
the comedy then were Blanche Bates,
Belle Archer. Hope Ross. and Phosa Nc
Allister. quartette of women who have
since won prominent places on the list
of Thespian celebrities. Charles King
made a great hit, too, in the role Of Dick
Phenyl, the bibulous barrister around
whom the story revolves. and Mr.. Fraw-
ley was much liked for his impersonation
of Horace Bream. Both of these actors
will be seen here next Monday night, when
they viii be re-enforced by such sterling
players as Georgia Welles, Alfred Hick-
man, Godfrey Stein. Harrington Reynolds,
Mrs. Bates, Selene johnson, Ada Leyick,
George CASTOR, and Frank Matthew.

HANGING IoF HENRY WILLIAMS,


The End OF Long Legal Flight.
The hanging of Henry Will
liams, which took place on Thurs
day at noon was the last act in a
legal drama which has gwen the
case Il national notoriety, and, I'M
til the now famous decision of the
! L. 5. Supreme Court was nder-
ed. caused grave concern for fed
eraI support of the constitution
of Mississippi. Williams was n
mulatto, twenty-siX years old. In
1896 he murdered his mistress, a
negro woman named Eliza Brown,
in Greenvlle, by choking her to
death. The crime was an unpro-
voked and brutal one, and at the
time created much bitterness Of
feeling against the perpetrator.
HIS first trial took place in Jan
uary 1897, when he was sentenced
to be hanged. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court of
the State, which affirmed the judg-
ment of the lower court. Will
liams was again sentenced. a stay
was obtained, and the case taken
to the L. S. Supreme Court on a
question involving the validity OF
the suffrage clause of the Consh-
tntion of 1890. This issue, and
its test before the supreme tri-
bunal of the nation gave the case
Il wide celebrity and Importance.
Hon. G.. b. Mitchell was appoint
ed by the governor to represent
the state, and the case was dis
the court declining to call
into question the validity of the
Constitution under which it was
tried
Henry Williams was once more
by the Circuit Court OF |
Washington county, when as a
last resort, his interchangeable coun-
sel appealed to Governor Nc
Laurin, who granted a respite in
order to investigate the case, after
ioing which he refused to inter-
ERE, and the long delayed SEN
ence was at last carried into exc
,ution. Williams met death with
,tolid composure, refusing to say
on the scatfold. He con-
essed some time ago to having
allied Eliza Brown. The execu-
ion was neatly and expeditiously
managed, and was witnessed by
bout fifty persons.

There is no institution of Green
vile in which her people should
feel greater pride or more ac-
tive interest than her public
schools. This is not altogether
on account of their value to the
community, but because the sys-
tenn is recognized abroad as one
of the best IN use. The opening
of the schools on Monday was
marked by larger attendance
than on any previous occasion.
The school houses had been put
in good order during the summer
for the reception of scholars, ex-
tensive repairs being made in the
caseof schools No. / and 2, the prin-
clpal white and colored schools of
the city. The large corps of
teachers consists, with two or
three exceptions, of the same who
have held positions in the school
for years past, and who, by con
tinuous service and familiarity
with the purposes of the system,
are best calculated to do satisfac
tory work and advance the inter
ests of pupils by perfecting the
system of teaching. The new
teachers who are added to the
force this year are Mr.. A. &.
Love, Latin and Greek; Miss
Emma O. Pohl, physical culture
md vocal music, and Miss Mary
assistant.

CORNELL DEFEATED.
The Result Was IA Surprise to Even the
Westcrnef's


Westcrners
Chicago, Oct. 14.-For the first time
In the history of intercollegiate foot
bail strong eastern eleven was to-
day decisively defeated by d western
team. Cornell university and the Uni
versity of Chicago elevens met on Mar
shall field Chicago winning by score
of II to 6. Full halves of IS minutes
We're played. This fact was in Chi
cago's favor, the maroon players being
evidently in better condition than their
eastern opponents. who weakened per-
ceptibly toward the close of the second
half. The result was a surprise even to
Chicago's strongest adherents, as the
western team was without Captain
Notre Dame game of two weeks ago.
In one respect did Cornell show super
lorlty, and that was tackling. The
Cornell backs and ends seldom failed to
nail their man hard and sure.
The Chicago ends We're more uncer-
tain and high in their tacklng, but
their work was effective enough to pre-
vent any material gains from end runs
and Cornell in consequence was often
forced to punt. Cornell scored her only
touchdown in the first half by good
hard line bucking. In the line. where
the fasteners were expected to show
the greatest superiority. Chicago did
tiiS ttthtl Noi ~ anu III tIlt StIb1lu nan
the Cornell men We're played off their
feet, Stalker tearing through time and
again for more than the distance.
1t was straight, hard football
throughout and so fierce that four Of
CornelTs men-Starbuck, Walbridge,
Caldwell and Payne--were compelled to
retire in the second half. Few trick
plays were attempted and only two
were successful. Slater making % yards
ON delayed pass and Hoy Is yards on
a double pass. This latter play was
tried twice afterwards by Chicago. but
Right End Cross nailed his man for a
toss each time.
Chicago outclassed Cornell in the
quickness in which the ball was put
into play and also displayed more eff
fective interference.
The interference of Cornell, when her
backs attempted to side around the
end, was too compact and for this rea
son was often put out of the play alto
gether by the ends and backs, who tore
it to pieces some time before the ball
was fairly started. The punting on both
sides was decidedly off color particu-
larly in the first half. First Young
who did most of the kicking for Cor
nell, kicked the ball into his own line
and this ultimated in a touch down for
Chicago.
