OPERA HOUSE.

"Ten Nights in Barroom," was wit.
Opera House Tuesday night. The
play was in capable hands from the
leading parts to the minor ones. Horace
Herbert, in his portrayal of the charac.
ter of doe Morgan, /" the drunken hus-
band, did exceedingly well. His acting
was strong and true to life, and was not
overdonr, as is usually the case in part
of this kind. But Delos b. Edsell made
the hit of the evening as Sample
switched" He was, as Artemus Ward
would say, ian amoosin' cuss," and his
every appearance before the audience
was signal for applause. Little Verna
Marie made realistic Little Mary
Morgan" and her song, "Father, Dear
Father, Come Home With Ne Now"
brought tears to many eyes. AS above
stated, the play was acceptable through
out, but the specialties introduced be
tween the acts should b. cut out, as
they are very poor and DESTROY the effect
of the production. Two noticeable things
were the decided frig dity of the
atmosphere and the extreme boisterous-
ness of the gallery gods, especially on
the negro side. The officers in that part
of the house are very lax in their duty,
and as a result people who paid to sea the
play were in measure deprived of an
evening of pleasure by a class of people
who do not know how to behave them
selves. Itshould be stopped.
To morrow, Saturday, evening, Dec
10, Columbia will be given a musica
treat by the three clubs of Vanderbilt
University-Glee, Mandolin and Banjo
Clubs. These combined clubs have
visited Shelbyville, Bell Buckle, Muir
freesboro and Fayetteville recently
where they were accorded crowded
houses and turned away delighted au
diences, and they will no doubt have
o fire patronage here. Seats are nov
on sale at Woldridge's drugstore.
Lewis Morri .oa will be here on De
cember 26 in ''Fauss."

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill of the winters
day.
The street was wet with the recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and
slow.
She stood at the crossing, and waited
long,
Alone, unuared for, amid the throng
OF human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance of her anxious
eye.
Down the street, with laughter and
shout,
Glad in the freedom of 'school let out, :"
Came the boys like flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman SO old and gray
fastened the children on their way,
Mr. offered helping hand to her,
So meek, so timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses
feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery
street.
At last came one of the merry troop
The gayest laddie of all the group;
He paused beside her and whispered
low;
"l'll help you across if YOU wish to go"
/ Her aged hand on hi strong young arm
She placed, and so witbout hurt or harm,
He guides her trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and
sGrong.
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young hear happy and we'll content.
"She's somebody mother, boys, you
know.
For all she's aged and poor and slow;
And | hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother, you understand,
If ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away"
And somebody's mother bowed low
her head
In her home that night, and the prayer
she said
Was, "God be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son and pride and
JOY"

The presidents of the South
American republics propose,a con-
ference to invite assurances of
peace among those countries and
to agree upon the basis for future
commercial treaties. The United
States is not mentioned, but it is
announced that Germany, France,
Italy and Austria will support the
South American republics against
all aggression. This is great
change since the pan-American
congress engineered by Mr.. Blaine;
and if the Puerto Rico business
has anything to do with it the
presidents in question are certainly
acting with frantic haste. Think,
however, of the absurdity of a
Monroe doctrine with this country
left out and all those other countries
put in.
