Friday Nights Entertainments.

The entertainment at Heuck's Opera
for the benefit of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the Methodist Church and was
attended by large congregation of
Brookhaven's cultured people.
The evening was opened with a
piano solo, beautifully rendered by
Miss Esther Priebatsch This was fol
lowed by vocal solo from Mrs. John
H. Johnson, who as Miss Katie Nc
Grath, was one of the city's most pop
ular singers few years ago. Her fail
ure, on this occasion, to respond to an
encore, was a matter of regret to her
charmed listeners. Miss Jessie Nc
Nair's appearance was greeted with
enthusiasm and she was vociferously
encored, while Mrs. Julian Willough-
by's queenly appearance and exquisite
voice, with violin obligato by Miss
Hunt, furnished theme for the high
est praise and commentator.

occasion was embodied in the guitar
rist, Mr.. Harrison, of st. Louis, the
orator, Mr.. Hugh NJ. Young, of Ten
nessee, and Mr. H. j. Cassard, grad
uate of the Conservatory of Paris, who
has been reputed the best basso of all
France. The udience was all ears
and eyes durin,s the varied perform
ances of this part of the program and
were well entertained.
The coup de grace of the evening
was the exhibition of the Frenchman's
proverbial courtesy, in Mr.. Cassard's
attempt to gracefully lead his accom-
PIANIST, Mrs. A. c. McNair. off the stage
of action. The Rdirette of this modest
and gifted woman was still more
charming, and captivated the entire
audience, whose eyes and ears were at
once resolved into broadening smiles at
her blushing noncompliance with the
profered aid.
Altogether the evening was pleas
ant one and we trust the ladies feel re-
paid for their efforts in behalf of their
church and society.

Zebra Law In England.

Zebra law may not be so important
to the average citizen sas dog law, but
it is worth knowing if you frequent
menageries. One Marion visiting an
Oldham show found stable door open
and went in and stroked the zebra,
whcreupOn the ungrateful beast let out
with his heels and pushed him through
a partition into another stall where an
other zebra bit his hand, which had to
be amputatcd. Could he recover from
the zebra's owner? a jury thought he
could, but the court of appeals says
not. A zebra is at present legally a
wild animal and likely to remain so,
since the advance of the motor car
makes against tanning new animals for
harness. Now. n mans duty with re-
gard to his wild beast is to keep it Sc
cured, so that it may not go about
seeking whom it may devour, and Sc
cured his zebra was. True. the door
was casually left open, and if the visit
or had merely gone in and been kicked
he might have recovered, but he "in-
vited" his kicking by strOking. Zebras
do not understand magnanimity. All
the same. if Zebras' doors are left open
it might be well to put up notices that
the beasts are likely to go off at both
ends.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Planning Another Escape.

Sheriff Applewhite, assisted by ex-
Sheriff R. c. Applewhite and Constable
Hardy Magee. made another search of
the Jail Saturday afternoon, as it was
suspected Howell had on foot another
plan for making his escape. Sure
enough, several pieces of ribbon saws
were found concealed in crevices in
various parts of the Jail, and in How
ellis cell, hidden in the lining of a
quilt, was discovered whole saw about
a foot long.
Mr. Lee Maxwell, who happened to
be in the Jail Saturday afternoon,
CHANGED to discover Howell in the act
of concealing this saw during the
progress of the search, and put the off,
GERS on to it.
Howell claims that all these finds in
the way of saws were left in the Jail
whcn he and his fellow-prisoners es-
capped a few weeks ago, and to that ex-
tent, at least, there is nothing new
about it. He frankly told several,
however, that the saw found in his
cell was passed in to him by Nose An
glin, who knew where it had been con-
cealed on the outside. Howell is kept
locked up in the first cell of the big
iron cage and is not allowed the run of
the Jail either day or night, and this
may or may not be true.
Sheriff Applewhite is taking extra
precautions to guard against second
break, and in view of these fresh dis
coveries, it certainly behooves him to
do so. The Jail is being vigilantly
watched, day and night, and all pro-
miseuous passing in and out has been
stopped. Mr. Joel East has been APP
pointed special night guard, who keeps
up vigilant patrol on the outside all
night with double barreled shot gun
and good six shooter, and it is safe to
predict that the first prisoner who
crawls out now in an effort to escape,
will meet with avery different recep-
ton from that experienced by the Jail
breaking party three weeks ago.

Why He Did Not Remember.

No man, says a Glasgow paper, has
less false modesty about his early ca
reer than General Hector Macdonald,
says The Scottish-American. Shortly
after Omdurman the Prince of Wales
expressed a desire that the hero of the
day should be presented to him, and
the introduction shortly afterward took
place at the Marlborough club.
ut is curious thing, Colonel Mac
donald" said his royal highness, that

Pardon me, sir" replied the Scot,

tention and then astonished the group

ing, with a smile, Il was corporal of
the guard the day your royal highness

Paris Theafer Fires.

London Chronicle. The first which OBJ
tanned celebrity was at the Opera in
1853. This theater was then situated
near the Palais Royal in a cul-de-sac.
The building was destroyed, and two
lives were lost. Another fire took
place at the Opera House in 1871, when
81 persons were burned to death. Two
Paris theaters were burned down in
179S. Fires broke out in the Odeon in
1870 and 1918, two persons being killed.

their 20 round go at the Auditorium

he fights Jack Carrig Friday night,
Immediately after which he resumes
training for his go here with Gardner.
He will be in fine fettle for both fights
as he is known to never fight unless in
the best possible condition.
Eddie Gardner, who will be his op-
ponent here next Tuesday night, is
also fast getting into shape and the
fight promises to be fast one from
the tap of the gong. Both are very
anxious to meet Martin Flaherty, of
New York, who has challenged the
winner. and they will battle hard to
win in order to get chance at Flah-
erty, who is considered one of the
foremost lightweights in the ring to-
day.
Andy Bezenah, who fights Chas
Wheatley as an extra attraction on
the same night, will finish his training
with Furey, and Wheatley will do
more of his training at nights, as his
business keeps him in the daytime.
These two also will put UP a great
contest. Bezenah is known as an ex-
! tremely hard hitter and ring general
and Wheatley is considered quite
scientific. There will be excursions on
all the railroads for the occasion and a
great many out of town sports are ex-
pected to be present The prices of ad-
