Laugtry de Battle and her English
Company an opportunity to appear in
Toledo, Notwithstanding the demand OF
certain very good people OF the city.
And Mrs. Langtry and her "Degener-
ates" have come and gone and as yet
there is no report of anybody going to
the bad because Mrs. Langtry showed
them how to go. The play was a disap-
pointment. 1t was not good, nor was
it bad enough to be interesting, and il
anyone in the audience was SO week
minded as to allow such play to carry
them to the land of forbidden pleasures,
it is our opinion they are too weak to
be OF any use elsewhere. And Mrs.
Langtry? Well, she has been called
the "Jersey Lilly. but we have seen
Jerseys OF other kind that appeared as
sweet and fully as gentle, and the won
der is, why people will make such a
rush to see her, unless it is because
some real nice people have said the
play was bad and therefore set every
body wild TO see 1t. II other mayors
would do as Mayor Jones has done the
great sensation would not long continue
to draw such enormous crowds.

Secretary Root has returned from
Cuba impressed with the idea that too
much haste has been made In the
direction Of withdrawing United
States troops from the island, and he
has taken steps looking to an increase
of our forces there rather than with
drawal. This action is said to be due
to his belief that the native militia is
not yet up to the standard which will
enable it to protect life and property.
The elections also will probably be
postponed a month or six weeks.
About 10000 voters are expected to
appear at them, the suffrage being
restricted to those on the rolls OF Cuban
army, to those who can read and write,
and To those who own $3.50 worth OF
property.

Last Tuesday night some person
unlocked the rope which holds the arc
lamp at the corner OF Louisiana avenue
and sixth street, and let it drop to the
ground completely demolishing the
same. This is the second time this
light has been destroyed, within a
short space of time. Persons engaged
in this nefarious work will be wise to
discontinue such unprincipled actions
before they arc apDrehended as they
will certainly be severely dealt with

OF $4,000 for the arrest and conviction
OF any person who is caught molesting
or In any way interfering with property
belonging to the electric light plant.
Not only do the miscreants destroy the
lamps, but also place in jeopardy the
lives OF pedestrians. as the wires left
hanging from the poles are charged
with a sufficient current of electricity
to kill should any one be so unfortunate
as to come In contact with them.
