His voice is melodious. tender and flexible and the songs which he has written for the play -"When Parading,' My Little Frau lien," '"The Tea Kettle Song and Love Is All in Alr'-are both simple and mov- ing, beside being distinctly of the catchy variety, which will make them as popu- lar with the boy in the streeet as with the ordinary audience. The Watch on the Rhine,' in which MT. Wilson makes his appearance. is German dialect com edy in four acts by Sidney R. Ellis, and in the matter of interest is well above the average of it's class. Attention is held from first to last and there are a number of thrilling climaxes. The pro- duction is excellently staged with all Charles H.

ROPE ENDED THE
 NEGROES CAREER
Committed Assault on Ken lucky Woman and Was
 Quickly Strung Up.

Paris, Ky, February 11.-George Carter, a negro, paid the extreme penalty of his crime of assault upon Mrs. W. E. Board, about three weeks ago, at the hands of a mob here this morning.
 About o'clock this morning 200 deter mined men appeaRed at the jail door and demanded admittance of Jailor Keiser. He refused and the door was burst open The jailor was overpowered in an in stant, the keys secured and in less than five minutes Carter was in the hands of the mob. He refused to make any state ment
 It was only the work of a minute to place a moose round his neck, and he was then half dragged to the entrance of the court house. The rope was then thrown over the iron arch leading to the entrance and while several pulled on the rope, oth- CTS lifted his body. He died by strangu- lation. The mob then quietly dispersed
 During the whole affair there was not a loud word spoken Scarcely any one in the town outside of the immediate par ticipants knew that the lynching was to occur.
 At 12:30 o'clock the electric lights were extinguished and the town was in total darkness. Before the men dispersed they pinned card on the body of the negro, bearing this inscriptions:
 This will be the fate of all negroes who assault white women"
 The other occupants of the jail, who are all negroes, were greatly frightened, and their cries and meanings could be heard for several blocks. In half an hour after the lynching not a soul could be seen upon the streets and the lifeless body of the negro was swaying in the wind.
 The crime was a most atrocious one. Mrs Board, who is the wife of William Board .bookkeeper at the Deposit Bank in this city, was on her way home about o'clock in the evening, with her little son, when she was assaulted by a ne- gro.,Her cries and those of her son at tracted the attention of some men, and the fellow made his escape.
 Constant efforts were made by the po- lice since then to detect the scoundrel but without avail, until last week, when Bessie Shoot of Ruckersville, caused a warrant to be issued for George Carter
