DRAWBRIDGES.

Major Leach of the war department corps of engineers and Director Alexan- der Troup made an inspection of the drawbridges of this city this week.
 Major Leach came here in response to a letter sent by MT. Troup to the war department, desiring information as to how often the draws should be opened, and particularly the hours that the draw-tender shall be on duty.
 Major Leach made particular in quiries regarding the number of shar- pies and whether they passed through singly or in groups. He found that on an average three to five sharpies passed through at time.
 He found also that only six sharpies are owned above Grand avenue bridge, and the mast of any of these can be stepped by one man, if neces- sary, so that the bridge can be passed without working the draw.
 The Grand avenue draw was opened only once in December and not at all in October and November.
 Major Leach will in due time make q report on the subject and then rul- ing will follow from the war depart ment,

AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
"A Splendid Presentation of Mans En

"A Splendid Presentation of Mans En-
 emy" Last Night.
 Last night at the Grand was signal iaed by the first performance in this city of "Mans Enemy The scenes are laid first in London and then at Monte Carlo, the latter being an elegant scene of the hotel grounds at Monte Carlo. The piece thoroughly justified this line found on the programme, "Oh that men should put an enemy in their !, mouths to steal away their brain" and is of interest to all lovers of a clean-cut play, which Is presented by a company very much above the ordinary and in- terests from start to finish. The climax of the third act, when the hero throws the villain through a glass window, brought forth a storm of applause. The story involves the characters one might mee in jaunt through London at most any time, day or night. The finale of the last act, showing wedding on one hand and the villain going to prison on the other, is one of the many striking effects of the play. It is without ques- tion the best melodrama that has been presented at this house in many years. There have been many shows at higher prices which cannot come up to this as regards scenery and cast. The principal role is in the hands of Theodore Bab- cock, and he showed himself to be most excellent actor. Henry Dale gave a most creditable character sketch. fThad Shine in the dual role of policeman and Count Lanski, Duncan Preston and T. c. Hamilton are also deserving of special mention. Miss Dorothy Rois- more has the principal role and made q most excellent impression. Miss Agnes Carlton, Miss Blanche Douglas, Miss Elsie Bryan. Miss Agnes Carlton and little Elsie Bryan are all deserving of special mention. The entire perform ance is most excellent one, and all lovers of first class melodrama should not fail to see Mans Enemy" It will be presented tonight and Lo-morroW afternoon and evening, and judging by the sale of tickets there will be large audience at all the performances.

quotes, as he plainly seems to imply,
the late Chief Justice fancy as having
laid it down as being held to he good
law and precedent that 4 black man
has 10 right that a white man is
bourG to respect" This seemingly
is intended as citation of tho op;n-
ION of The Supreme Court dervered
by Chief Justice Taney in the famous
case of bred Scott VS. SnEdforti.
If So it is an eeregious and Il most
absurd error. one. | admit. that is
very prevalent. and has been 50 long
accepted as the correct version by per-
sons not well informed. as 10 have
passed in measure into history
along avith so many other statements
that are absolutely without foutda-
ton.
n Judge fancy never delivered any
such opinion of the ecourJ, and never
animated his own belief in any such
statement. The court was describing
the estimation in which the negro
race was held by the world at large
at the time of the framing of the
United States Constitution, and it
used the following language quote
from the opinion:
1T is difficult at this day to realize
the state of public opinion in relation
to that unfortunate race the African
which prevailed in the civilized and
enlightened portions of the world at
the time of the Declaration of indie
Dendeuce and when the Constitution
of the United States was framed and
adopted.
but the public history of every Eu-
ropean nation displays it in manner
too plain to be mistaken.
They had for more than a century
been regarded as beings Of an inferior
order and altogether unfit to associate
with the white race, either in social or
political relations, and SO far inferior
that they had no rights which the
white man was bound to respect, and
that the negro might justly and law
fully be reduced to slavery for his
benefit"
From this it will readily be seen
that Judge fancy never delivered any
such ''opinion" as that attributed to
him by your correspondent. He was
merely explaining sad state of
things that had existed in a remote
past. The language used by him was,
and is, distorted by many to create
wrong impression with those who do
not give the subject sufficient consid-

DIR. KELLEY AND HIS CURE.

by Rev r. f. Wright, Dwight, I'D
Now that Dr. Leslie E. Kelley is dead
there will be much said concerning both
his cure for inebriety and the drug ad-
diction, and his own personal history and
characteristics. AS the writer has been
pastor of the Congregational church here
for nearly six years, and has had every
opportunity to see the work of the Keel
ey Cure and witness it's effects upon large
numbers of men and women, and also
became personally acquainted with the
doctor, meeting him on the street, at
public assemblies and in the quiet of
his private office, he feels that he can
speak with some degree of assurance. 1t
unnecessary to enter into the details
VI his life, as almost every paper in the
and will have something to say on that
loint.
DR.. Kelley possessed vigorous intel
lect, kind heart, a powerful will and
a manly sincerity, which, united, made
him the great man he was.
He was one who would attract atten-
ton in crowd, owing to his command
ing appearance. An observing person,
ctIsto1-cd to the study of human ma
-rt. trc2 asslng him in the street for
y lst time would instinctively ask,
Who is that? He is no ordinary man. .
Like every one else he had his faults,
out he possessed many noble and beau
iful qualities of head and heart. He was
a careful observer and hard thinker,
is the fact of his discovery will testify
For many years he practiced medicine in

him narrate the experience and trials of
those early years. Those who knew him
say it mattered not how INDECENT a pa
tient might be, he received the, same
attention from the doctor as though he
were worth his millions.
DR.. Kelley was a poor collector of
lebts, but good and successful prac-
titioner of medicine. He was entirely
free from ostentaton and snobbishness.
md possessed a tender and loving heart.
IN the days of his prosperity. he re-
membered most munificently those who
were his friends in the years of his OBJ
scurity and comparative poverty He
vas quite remarkable in this particular,
md | could give some most interesting
acts if it were not for telling tales out
# school.
Now as to DR.. Keeleys attitude toward
religion. This is a question which has
ften been asked me by clergymen. He
vas trained in the Episcopalian faith, and
confirmed in that church when a child
There has never been an Episcopal
church in Dwight, and the doctor in his
earlier years attended the Congregational
church. He was warm, personal, life
long friend of Rev. j. A. MOntgOmery it's
hrst pastor, and was a great admirer of
his scholarly, able and thoughtful ser
mons In later years the doctor has
been away from home good share of
the time. and he has also been afflicted
with severe bronchial trouble which
mas caused him to cough a great deal,
ana SO he was not often at the services.
But he was a believer in the religion OF
our Lord. and supporter of the church
