"a sermon, as wuz Sermon"

With Rev. A. F. Watkins in the pull
pit and Miss Fannie Larkin at the or
gan. it seemed like "old times" at the
Methodist chu rch last Sabbath morn
ing. The sermon on 'The Rich Young
Man." seemed with its power, born OF
truth a nd earnestness, to touch every
heart beneath its influence, and es-
pecially appealed to the young. We
doubt not Bro. Watkins had upon his
heart the eternal welfare of many young
women under his care, as well as the
youth of both sexes in BrOokhaven.
Would that the club rooms, and the
business offices had given up their
Sunday habitues at the preaching hour
at least, that they, who are spiritual
ly dying, might have been quickened
to renewed sense of their glorious
possibilities as Christian men, by this
special message, that we regret was
not heard by every young man in our
town.
They are slipping away-these young, glad
days,
| Like a leaf on the current cast;
With never break in their rapid flow,
You hardly note, as they come and CO.
Some day-it will be your last,
and your opportunity to make the
most and the best of as much as lieth
in you will be gone-forever. What
splendid opportunities have the boys
and girls of Brookhaven, to make great
and good men and women.

On last Friday morning Henry Pitt
man and Chester Smith, both colored,
engaged in an alteration at the coal
chute which resulted in Smith being
shot in the chest and back. Either
bullet would have proved fatal but for
the fact that each one struck rib and
glanced. Pittman was promptly ar
rested, and when arraigned before
Justice Lanier, waived preliminary
investigation and was required to give
a $3.50 bond for his appearance at Cir

THEATRICAL NOTES.

Enormous audiences will greet Mrs.
Leslie Carters appearances at the
Providence opera house tonight tomorrow
night and Saturday matinee and night In
"Zaza." Not again will Providence have
an opportunity to enjoy her matchless
performance. or to applaud the thrilling
scenes OF the play. the stirring Incidents
that compose IL. or the touching moments
IN which the art of the actress appeals so
powerfully.
"Zaza' is a heart play. IL one may so
term q work that has TO do with the
varied experiences through sorrow and
trial, OF woman who Is born amid low
ly surroundings, but whose natural i'm
pulses inspire her to look to better things.
and to be. as she terms II. decent" Last
season we had one whole week of Mrs.
Carter, a memorable engagement indeed.
when she gave Providence theatre-g goers
a taste OF such acting as the city had not
seen in many a long year. On that oc-
casion the audiences dehed the capacity
Of the playhouse. an experience that is
likely TO be repeated during the engage
ment commencing tonight. The reason
here the last OF the week promises TO
eclipse in box office results at least. the
banner record of a year ago, Is, that she
will not be seen here again In this play.
The performances beginning tonight will
be her farewell 10 Zaza' as far as
Providence Is concerned, for after devot-
ing the present season to an extensive
American tour In David Belasco's great
work, she will return TO New York to
prerare for the new play announced for
next year.
Mrs Leslie Carter will have in her sup
mort the same company that was here
wear ago, and which has assisted In her
international triumphs. The curtain Will
rise each evening promptly at o'clock.
That a vaudeville act doesn't need nec-
essarily TO be billed in the largest type
IN make good" and that vaudeville au-
diences in this city are not slow TO rec
osnize merit. Is amply demonstrated this
week AZ Keith's. where several acts not
especially conspicuous on the hills are
sharing FIRST honors with their more
famous associates In the program. Bell
