Ia this connection we may state
that the church was nos dedicated be-

THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF
POLK MILLER.
An Evening of Song and Story With
Virxinia's Gentle Humorist.

Polk Miller, the genial humorist,
skilled musician and versatile char
acter delineator, appeared at Cooper
Opera House Friday night in his
inimitabls entertainment entitled
''Old Times Down SOUTH Those
who have heard Mr.. Miller can best
appreciate the style of his work. 1t
Is not lecture, but an evening of
song and story, music and mirth,
depicting times in the South 'sbefo'
de wah,' and delineating the negro
character as it was in days gone by.
The old time slave was an aristocrat
just as surely as his master was, and
those who have grown up since can
scarce appreciate the difference be-
tween the negro then and the negro
now. Mr.. Miller told a number of
new jokes and he repeated with added
zest some that he had related here
before. The audience thoroughly en-
joyed Mr.. MilIer's side-splitting jokes,
gentle humor and tender pathos. to-
gether with his stirring melodies and
banjo playing.
Miss Emma Averett, one Of the
South's most highly accomplished and
skilled musicians. accompanied Mr..
Miller on the piano, and between his
banjo playing and her artistic per-
formances a rich musical entertain
ment was provided.
After the entertainment proper Mr.
Miller announced that Miss Averett
and himself would play several pieces
together, ''kinder let themselves OUT
as it were, and that they would be
glad to have as many of the audience
stay to hear them as cared to do so.
But few left and those who remained
were reluctant to leave the Hall
when the last piece had been played,
the last song sung. 1t was rich
treat indeed and one greatly enjoyed.
Those who heard Mr.. Miller and
Miss Averett are indebted to Mrs. w.
D. Shannon for the pleasure afforded,
she having engaged Mr.. Miller to APP
pear under the auspices Of Whitmel
Blount Chapter, Daughters of the
Revolution.

CHOATE N THE BABY.
The American AmbassadOr's Nail
Head wit In nm Address In
England.

Lately, at the opening of a free library al
Acton, England, Hon. Joseph III. Choate,
the American ambassador to Great Britain,
delivered an address, and caused much
laughter by his impromptu references to a
baby who persisted in distracting the at
tention of the audience by making its voice
heard at the most announcement moments,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. The first
interruption occurred early in the speech.
Mr.. Choate was saying: There is a spe-
cial provision for children in your library,
and 1 think when men come to make a
choice of a residence in Acton they will
not forget that fact" Here the baby
screamed in such a manner as to drown the
words of the speaker. There was some dis
turbance, but Mr.. Choate said: Don't be
disturbed by the baby. Nobody knows bet
ter than my Lord Bishop that out of the
mouths of babes and sucklings cometh wis
DOM" Things went fairly well after this,
the baby appearing to be lattered by the
reference, until Mr.. Choate was saying:
There is a book with which all of you"
Here the baby walled loudly. Except, pos
sibIy, the baby-are familiar" the ambassa-
dor went on: st is Ecclesiastes, and it says
that of the making of books there is no end"

CREDIT SHE DIDN'T SEEK.
mbarr...fn Position of an Absent
Minded Woman Who Had Made
q Mistake.

A lady who keeps a summer boarding
house at the seashore near Boston went
the other day to look the house over
and find out what must be renewed. She
found numerous umbrellas left by former
boarders, says the Boston Transcript, and
tying them together, she took the bundle
to Boston to have them repaired, She
stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle
on the floor at her feet at the counter.
When she had made her purchase, she Tor
got her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly
picked up an umbrella lying on the coun-
ter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking
at all, and started off.
Then the owner Of the umbrella, a WON,
an standing next her, seized her and said
yery sharply: you have taken my UNI
brella." Of course she apologized, feeling
much cut up about it, and went on forget
ting in her fuster her own bundle OF UNI
brellas. The next day, on her way to Cam
bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily
recovered her lost package of umbrellas.
which had been kept for her. On the car
for Cambridge she noticed a lady eyeIng her
very closely. Presently this lady leaned
forward and said to her, with elegant en-
phasis:
You seem to have been more fortunate
to-day"
1t was the lady whose umbrella she had
taken the day before.

the result followed a spirited and at
times highly dramatic contest between
the advocates of Stevenson, Towne,
Hill and lesser candidates.
An Ovation to Hill.
The distinct triumph Of the day in
the way of a popular ovation was that
accorded to Senator Hill, and in its
spontaneity and wild enthusiasm ii
was one of the most notable features

accompanied, too, by a remarkable
scene. when Hill earnestly protested
