pastor of the church, an address of well
come was delivered by Mr.. J. b. Hender-
son. president of the society.
The musical part of the program was
supplied by some of the well known local
talent. A trio by Mr.. and the Misses Bas-
tianelli, piano. cello, and violin, was so
cordially received that the young musi-
clans were forced to respond to an encore.
One of the most unique numbers OF the
evening was a drum solo by Mr.. A. F.
springsteen, who served through the ciyi,
war as a drummer boy. He gave q start
lngly rssaIiist!e !g.tati9l Of q battle, us-
DER the title of The Battle OF GettyspufE,n

sounds emanating from lightning ex-
press train.
Miss Cole gave several readings. and
Mrs. Otis D. Sweet rendered vocal num-
bers In pleasing style. while Mr.. Walter
Holt played mandolin solo. Raffs Ca
Vatina, and for an encore he offered a
selection on the mandolin which combined
a melody and accompaniment.
Another interesting feature of .bo MN
cert was the chalk talk by Mr. clifford x
Berryman. Mr.. Bergman illustrated the
methods Of cartoon work, and gave an
exceedingly entertaining talk.
The entertainment was given in the SUM-
Cay school room Of the chapel building in
which the services are being temporarily
conducted, and the hall was prettily doe.

Sensational Burning Scene.

II Is quite within the bounds OF truth
to say that similar scene was never
shown in local theater. 1t is daring
piece Of originality and realistic to a d.
gree that taxes the endurance to view
agony caused by infiiction Of pain upon
the human body. As the flames rose and
fell and licked to death their helpless
victim as she stood chained to the stake
the audience felt fascination that COM
pelled attention until the dying embers
gave up their prey and her soul rose to
Heaven In The arms Of angels
1t is triumph Of modern stagecraft and
would be sufficient to carry even an uain-
teresting play. which Joan ID not. The
Sherwood and Denham Joan of Arc is a
melodrama Of uncommon interest. The
first Of the four acts is devoted to the life
OF Joan as the simple peasant girl in her
native village and her meeting with
Prince Charles, and afterward, through
her efforts. the King of France Then fol-
lows the scene Of the raising of the siege
Of Orleans in a thrilling battle tableau

on the interest is intense to the final cur

third act. where Joan defends her honor

THE NEGRO IN ILLINOIS.

There will be no gloating in the South over the fact that Gov. Yates of Illinois has been forced to send militia to Edo rado in that state to protect the lives and property of negroes. But the people of Illinois and the editors oi the Chicago pa pers should realize from these outrages in their own state that race troubles are not confined to the South.
 A prosperous negro school at Eldorado has been the object ot outrages by mob, until the school has been broken up, al though Gov. Yates has told the negroes that he will protect them with troops if that IS nee essary for the continuance ol their school. We don't know ot any town in Arkansas where a mob collects if negroes want to run a school. It is not neces. sary in Arkansas to call out the militia in order that negro insti- tutions of learning may be saved from destruction. The Rev. r. A. Green, pastor of the negro NJ. E. Church at Eldorado. tele- graphed Gov. Yates that his house had been stoned and his life threatened. Then the gov ernor saw that with a contin- uanee of the anti-negro feeling here was nothing to do but call out the troops.
 The first attack on the negroes was made last December and the disorder continued until June During this time three-fourths of the negroes fled, abandoning their church, school and homes There are those who point out that Gov. Yates waited until two months after the negro In dustrial Institute at Eldorado, was attacked and the President, faculty and pupils compelled to flee for their lives before he took energetic measures. In the mean time the negroes have been scat tered to the four winds.
 Race conflicts are always to be deplored, and Southern white people who know the negro and who are the negro's best friend deplore such outbreaks, whether they occur in the far South or in Illinois.
 Teaching young negroes how to read with the school house surrounded by a cordon of bay onets IS not a Southern scene 1t is,what we may soon see in Eldorado, Ill.-Gazette.
