1t is with much regret that
we learn of the change to be
made in the management of
the East Tennessee Telephone
Co. at this place. While we
are always glad to learn of the
promotion of the worthy, we
cannot but feel the loss of such
a competent, capable, courte-
Gus and obliging manager as
Mr.. John A. Harrison. When
he took charge of the plant
here, scarcely two years ago,
there was in operation about
fifty phones, and, by his ener-
gy, push and courteous treat
ment of patrons, he has run
the list of subscribers up to
nearly three hundred, and has
orders ahead for phones to be
put in as soon as wires can be
stretched. Mr.. Harrison will,
on or about the Goth inst, take
charge of the Danville plant.
and will be relieved from duty
at this place by a MIR. Sey-
mour. of Lexington. Mr.. Sey-
mour is total stranger to us,
but comes highly recommend
ed by his company, We well
come him among us, but give
him, as a side tip, the infor-
nation that he'll have to go
some" to keep up the pace set
by Johnnie Harrison.

Tom Allen Gets Properly
Dehorned.

Last Friday evening, about
eight o'clock, the report came
to us that Tom Allen had been
killed. While the information
was given to us as reliable, we
felt no hesitancy in offering
odds of 100 to l on Life, plac-
ing Death in the field at long
odds. Notwithstanding the
strong tip" that was out on
Death, the wise looked upon
Life as a sure thing" and
would not even place money
on Death to show" Were
it true that the good
die young, we would on
ly remember Tom as an infant,
for, if there ever was "a good
, for nothing) "nigger" on
earth, it is Tom Allen. Be
Bro. Geo. o. Barnes and John
Alexander Dewey right or
wrong about the end of all
things being near at hand, we
are willing to wager small
amount that Tom never dies.
On the evening mentioned,
Tom and Harry De Bond had
some difficulty in Duncan's sa-
loon, and, when Tom started
up Main street, he was over
taken by Harry and Clarence
Miller, who, with beer bottles
as racquets and T om's head as
ball, gave very fine eAhibi-

RICH FILIPINOS

Among the high-class natives" says nurse just returned from the Philip ines, 'there is a standard of intelli- gence and culture that is actually su- perior to that displayed by any Ameri- can families which have come to Ma nila yet. These people all have con tinental educations. They are artists and musicians and linguists of great ability. And the way they live is dazzling, even to us Americans, who are used to a display of wealth. Their homes are sumptuously furnish ed, surrounded by beautiful lawns and fairly thronged with servants.
 ..The Filipinos who are wealthy are enormously so. I knew one landowner there whose house proved too small for him. He wanted to give magnificent entertainment last winter in honor of his daughters return from school This man. when lie found that he could not purchase outright the adjoining house rented it for two months at a cost of $25.O00
 "There are plenty of old families in Manila who could. and no doubt would do the same thing. They say they are Americanistos, but I believe almost all of them are secretly contributing mon- ey to the rebels cause"

ROGERS BROTHERS

''The Rogers Brothers in Washing ton'' was the attra ction at Polls the ssttcT last night. and 2 star attraction it was. The theater was packed to the doors, not a vacant seat being visi- ble. This was especially true of the celestial part of the theater. And such an enthusiastic audience. Well. you couldn't blame the audience if. they fairly shrieked with laughter and broke out in tumultous applause No time this season has an audience been more pleased or delighted than they were last night. Gus and Max Rog- CTS. the eccentric German dialect con- edians. were more amusing than ever. Their jokes, sprung in their own in- 1mltable style, their songs. sang in a most clever manner, their funny danc- ing. their ludicrous make-ups-all com blned to keep the audience in roars of laughter throughout the evening. Those present did not have an oppor- tunity to be serious, they had no time to think whether there was anything serious to the play or not. The Rogers Brothers were there to amuse and they succeeded in no small measure. They scored a greater hit than on their pre- yious appearance in this city, Though the Rogers Brothers are the shining lights in the play, still they are not the whole show. They head a cast which is a star one. Master Pat Rooney and Miss Emma Francis scored almost as big hit as the only Teutons them selves, when they introducd their singing and dancing speciality. ''T'ae Game of Love" Miss Lottie Williams appeared in the role of the leading lady. She has an attractive appear ance, winning ways and was decidedly pleasing. Another favorite with the audience was Will West who sang in charming style two English coster songs.

A GENTEEL ESSAY.

Mrs Parvo has joined the Society of Genteel Lady Hagglers of the Wes- tern Hemisphere. I had just turned night when I heard her say to MT Parvo:
 "Reginald, dear. am to read an es- say at the regular monthly meeting Of the society and I want your opinion regarding few minor details. l have taken for a subject, "The Faithful Hen.''
 Tn selecting your subject did you have in mind any particular member of the society?' inquired MT Parvo.
 Without seeming to notice the in terruDtion. Mrs Parvo continued: sI think I have a very interesting and scholarly paper. After giving a rath- CT complete history of the hen, it's re- lation to the incubator and the capon, and incidentally touching upon the active part it is now taking in compe- tition with the beef trust, I close with this sensational and soul inspiring poem:
 She scratched until she scratched at
 least
 A foot from off her legs;
 Then all night long she laid awake
 And all day long laid eggs And all day long laid eggs, she did
 And all day long laid eggs. And all-
 "Oh! cut it out: cut it out,' shouted Mir Parvo, that's no poem."
 What is it then?" demanded Mrs Parvo angrily.
 "Why, it's-er-er-it's an omelet.' 2 sneered MT Parvo. By gad! that's what it is, just a plain everyday ome- let, and if you were any kind of a housekeeper you would know by this time that an omelet is the only thing into which you can safely work long laid eggs Mrs Parvo gathered up her essay ! and without a word marched up to her room and slammed the door, while MT Parvo lighted a fresh cigar. saun- tered into the billiard room and tried to play ping pong alone. This morning before I was half through dusting the music room Mrs Paryo sent me over to Mrs Snoopy's with a note. Of course, I read it. It said:
 Dear Laura: Has your husband any of that sweet and tender sentiment that woman of our confiding and cling ing natures, of our superior intellect and our highly emotional organiza- tions so love and revere. aye worship, l in the sterner sex? Has he? Mine hasn't. Lovingly. | EIYSIAN This is Mrs Snoopy's answer, which I also read
 | Dear E1ySian Neither has minp With lots of love. LAURA.

 After Mrs Parvo had read this she tore it up. threw it into the fireplace and said disgustedly: sPooh! she dozen't know any more than the rest of the neighbors. s.''-Charlotte O'Mulli- gan.in the Hartford Times.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Fun-seekers are getting feast at the Jacques this week, the show being one of the most attractive in comedy way that we have had. Edmund Hayes in GA Wise Guy' is, of course, the center of attraction, and the picture be gives of piano mover in the guise Of a millionaire is a remarkably clever piece of character acting. The act has always been considered one of the most amusing in vaudeville, and it is certainly holding up its reputation here. Lamar and Gabriel are a wonderfully clever pair of comedians, too, the mid get Gabriel being as bright as any seen on the local boards. His diminutive stature gives added zest to his fun and makes him more attractive than the or dinary comedian. There is very fine bill in addition, provided by Oracle Emmett and her company in Mrs Murphy's Second Husband" Mile Val esca, Reidy and Currier, H. V. Fitz- gerald, Hayes and Eileen, and Rictno. Prices are 10 and 20 cents afternoons. ladies 10; evening prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents.

evening. It is not very often when so many catchy songs and so much lively and fascinating music are found in one play. But the real hit of the even- ing was the singing of the Wedding of the Reuben and the Maid" There were so many encores that one couldn't count them. The occupants of the gal lery considered themselves a part of this act and appeared in a whistling speciality. This song will be slaughter ed during the next two or three weeks. The piece was nicely and sumptuously staged and the stage was adorned with a bevy of pretty girls, beautifully at tired. As a whole the play was one of the most pleasing of the season and Mir Rogers had reason to appreciate the applause, as he said when he made an impromptu speech at the end of the second act.

WAR ON BIRD TRAFFIC.
Audubon Society of New York to Be-
gin Active Campaign.

From the New York Tribune.
The Audubon Society of the state of New
York Is about to begin an active campaign
against the illegal traffic in birds and their
plumage in this state. Friends of the So
ciety who are interested in birds and know
birds when they see them will be asked to
make a careful inspection from time to
time of the stock of milliners and whole
sale dealers in birds plumage in their neigh
borhood, and to report any violations of the
law they find to the society, which Will
prosecute the offender. Already this has
been done to some extent. Members of the
Audubon Society are accustomed to walk
through the stores, observing carefully what
birds bodies and plumage are offered for
sale. But In view of the statement of the
milliners and mlliners' trade journals that
feathers are to be used more extensively
than ever as trimmings for hats this sea-
son, the society has felt called upon to re-
double its efforts for the protection of non
game birds.
: The Audubon Society has discovered that
1t can prevent the wholesale destruction
of birds only through the enforcement Of the
laws protecting non-game birds. THE ap-
peal to sentiment" said Frank NJ Chap
man, chairman of the executive committee
of the Audubon Society yesterday, has
been found ineffective. We must work
from the other, end if we, want to accom-
the present destruction Of birds will lie first
in arousing humane feelings enough on the
part Of the public to secure the passage of
laws which shall be more deterrent and
second, In enforcing the laws
Not only will the society wage it's war
fare against dealers in dead birds and their
plumage, but it will also examine the Gagged
birds that are offered for sale by bird fam
ciers. The trapping of birds in this state
has resulted in the determination of MANY
species The boboink. for instance-one of
the most interesting of birds, with song
that delights every bird lover-is almost ex-
tiDct here in New York city, where once i
was so frequent To put a stop to such
destruction will be part of the society's
campaign"
Tonight, at the public meeting of the AN
dubon Society In the American Museum Of
Natural History, the first shot in the cam
paign will be fired. Miss Emma H Lock-
wood the secretary and treasurer, will give
a report of the work of the preceding year
William butcher will speak on The Pres
ent Demand for Birds for Millinery Pur-
poses and What the Audubon Society Pro-
poses to Do About IT, Frank NJ Chap
man will give an illustrated address on
Some Practical Results of Bird Protection
and Bird Destruction" There will be an
