REBECcA's ThIUMPH
To Be Given at the Masonic Opera
House Next Thursday Night.

"Rebecca's Triumph will be given
by home talent at the Opera House
in this city, Thursday night, Febru-
airy 2S. The entertainment promises
10 be very interesting, and should be
well patronized, as those who take
part are sparing ne time or labor to
make it success. The players are I:
Mesdames E. A. Chatten, Ernest
Rash, M. b. Long, and Misses Ethel
and Lille Evans, Carrie and Lucy
Crsnshaw, Celeste Moore, Nellie
Carlin, Minnie Bourland, Mary Nor
wood, Agnes Burr, Kate Chatten
and Misses Eula Richards and Bess
Waller, of Hopkinsville.
The purpose of those ladies In CIV
ing this entertainment is to start a
fund with which to purchase . piano
for the new Opera House. They
look upon the new house as a place
where the interests of the Darlington
people can often center in social
gatherings, amusement and reerea-
tion, and are putting forth this ef-
fort In a thoroughly public spirited
way. The recent production Of
"Among the Breakers" by the Earl
ington Dramatic Club was given for
like purpose and deservedly re-
eeived very hearty support and ap-
plauso by the people of Darlington
and Mortons Gap.
The coming entertainments, IRE
becca's Triumph" deserves, too, and
doubtless will receive like friendly
and substantial support. The ladies
are devoting great care to prepara-
ton for production.
The play is drama in three acts,
for female characters only, and was
written expressly for 1.-The l.. o. G..
Cooking Club" of Chicago, by
George M. Baker.

New York, Feb.l5.-In accordance
with a call issued over two weeks
since the financial heads of the great
railway lines of the country will

of the meeting is not definitely

Local railroad men place abso-

from New York that there will be
n general reduction in expenses by
the big railroad systems. Of the coun-
try andthat as aresult of this move
thousands nj railroad employees will
lose their jobs. They declare that
with very rare exceptions the rail-
roads are already on al economical
basis. No matter whether the vast
scheme of consolidating all of the
railroads Of the country into groups
is carried out or not, it will still
take great army of employees to
operate them. During the hard
times of the early nineties one rail-
road man said the railroads learned
great lesson In economy. They
have practiced this ev,r since and
the result is that they are on an
economical basis today. The local
railroad men generally laughed mt
the story.
