ISHED BY KENTUCKIANS.
Opera House Manager Requested by
Daughters of the COnfederacy
Not to Give the show Again.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Jan. TO- - Lexington
Chapter United Daughters of the Confed
eracy have sent a written petition to
Charles +. Scott. manager of the Lexing
ton opera house. asking that the play,
Uncle Toms Cabin never be presented
again at the opera house here. They give
reasons that the best citizens and old fam
lilies living in and about Lexington were
once slave owners as a heritage, and not
of their own choosing; that the incidents
of Uncle Toms Cabin" are not typical of
slave life in the South, but of isolated
cases; that the production the play and it's
being advertised with bloodhounds and pic
lures of an old negro in chains and slave
owner with whip in hand, gave a false
idea of the history of the times to the
children of the city, and that it is disre-
spectful to the Southern gentlemen and
good citizens and their families living in
this part of the country The petition is
signed by four of the most prominent
women of the chapter and indorsed unani-
mously by the members, and has created
a sensation here

continents as Lord Walter Beresford. He
is held on request of the authorities of Hot

admitted he was Lascelles. He has been
known under many aliases besides Lord
Beresford among them being Sir Harry
Vane. r. N, and Lord Courtney, Claude B.
Lascelles and James b. Lasale. The
charge against him in Hot Springs is the
larceny in 1891 of ST. 200 from Lyman j. Hay

said that Lascelles. as Lord Beresford
eloped from Algiers with the daughter Of
an American millionaire who, after learn
ing of the mans character, secured a di-
vorce. He has served terms in New York

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 1O.-Sidney Las
celles made his advent into Georgia about
ten years ago, and the base of his opera
tions for time was at Rome. He posed as
the representative of an English syndicate
looking for iron properties. A wealthy

he was arrested but released on a tech
nicality. On a forgery charge, however, he
was sent to the penitentiary. Securing re-
lease on bail he returned to Rome, opened
brokers' office and represented himself as
correspondent of several Eastern dailies.

Rome people and disappeared just before
his second trial on the forgery charge came
up. Again he was brought back, but this
time accompanied by his wife, who spent
money lavishly in his behalf. He was con-
victed, however, and sent to a convict
camp. Escaping from the camp, he was
next heard OF at Americus. Ga, but here
his wife secured a divorce from him. Soon
after he secured the franchise for an cleo
trio lighting plant and water system at

ters of the town. His franchise was al
lowed TO lapse, but he married the daughter
of wealthy man in Fitzgerald and disap-
peared.

Manila a WeII-GOverned City.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1O.-Rev. a. L.
Hazlett. a Methodist Episcopal preacher of
Colorado City, Col, has returned from the
Philippines. He went there at the request
of General Macarthur and under the au-
thority of the Secretary Of War to study
and report upon the moral conditions in
the island, particularly at Manila. His re-
mort is that he found a gratifying cOndi-
ton of affairs in the metropolis Of the Phil
ippines Manila is the best governed city
I have ever seen," said Rev. Mr.. Hazett,
land / do not believe its equal i'm this re-
spect exists in the United States to-day.
The moral condition of the city is better
than ever before in its history. Since the
American occupation the arrests for drunk
enness were decreased in number, and for
the good reason that drunkenness has been
discouraged by the authorities in the right
manner. 1t formerly said that there
were 400 saloons on the EscOta, but not
one is to be found there now The total
number of saloons in the city is 100, and
they are governed in a strict manner. The
cities generally are in pretty good condi-
ton and their management reflects credit
upon the Americans who have their gov
ernment in charge.
