From the Middletown TRANSCRIPT.
The Levy Court has adopted q

nomical course, toward the print
ers and those persons in rural New
| Castle County who permitted the
use cf their Offices for tie -areglstra.a
ton. To fix the price of printing
the lists of registered voters at %
each is to accuse every printer of an
attempted steal. Had any one bill
been that amount there would have
been some excuse for fixing upon it

prin ters overcharged for their work
the claim is made that all are too
high. The county officials expect
prom pit service and low prices aud
not willing to pay the cash. 1t has
been nearly four months since this
work was done. Under the law,
the Registrar is made the judge Of
who shall do the printing and how
much shall be paid. But the Levy

appeal.

oPIE READS QUAINT MELODIES
Atmosphere of "Fhe Starbucks," Sup
plemented by Unpublished Tunes.

The "atmosphere'' of 1.-THE Starbucks''
playing in Chicago is carried technical
ly into the incidental music. Who can
tell who wrote Nancy TILL" which ac-
companies the rise of the curtain on the
first and second acts? 1t isn't in print
and Opie Read Cwho ought to know
says that it was an old song when he
was a boy. The versus runs:
Down in the canebrake
Close by the mill,
There lives a yaller girl
Her name is Nancy Till.
Come, love; come;
The boat is might free,
And I'll take you up
To Tennessee.
Colonel William Lightfoot Visscher,
another old timer in one of his en-
frances which goes this way:
I'll build little house on de mountain
side,
And gaze on my true love as she go by.
My love she do smell sweet, like de rose
on de vine.
Lord love dat lovely lady what dWellS
in my mind.
Colonel Visscher also gives a hint of
a typical song which he himself wrote
on the negro superstition that anyone
dying on Sunday before shutdown is
sure of going to heaven He devotes
one verse to the theory that the
mlSSlS IS certain OIL eternal reward
in any event, while the .'maSre," given
more to 'cussing'' and abuse, is de-
pendent on the chance of hours, and of
hours on one day in the week at that.
This is his verse:
Old masre wrastled, too, one day
All day on de Lords day.
Tryin' on this earth to stay
All day on de Lords day.
He wrastled till dem stars arose
All day on de Lords day
And when he got dar dem gates was
close
All day on de Lords day.
Chorus
Den 1 wants to die on de Lords day,
And don't you hear me 'clar',
1 wants to die on de Lords day,
When de gates of heaven am ajar.

written negro songs that he can sing
a new one almost every night

FRANK DANIELS IN LONDON.
La Shelle's Attractions Wanted inEng-
land to Complete the "Invasion.'

Following upon the heels of Kirk La
Shelle'S contract to transport Arizona"
with a complete American company to
London, and his contract with Charles
Hawtrey. whereby the latter will make
a pretentious production of THE Bonnie
Brier Bush at his London playhouse,
has come a number of propositions from
the English metropolis for La Shelle's
musical attractions.
The list includes Frank Daniels COM
pany in Miss Simplicity" and the
kirke La Shelle opera company in 1.-The
Princess Chic If, as has been asserted
there is a strong prejudice against
American play offerings in London the
managers there are apparently not
aware of the fact, for they are mani
Testing particular avidity in their
efforts to secure such plays, musical or
otherwise, as are known to be big money
winners on this side. La Shelle, how
ever, is not disposed to lose his head
over this prospect, and while he be-
heves firmly that both his musical or
CARNATIONS would be winning cards in
London, he sees no reason for abandon
ing the home field 50 long as it pays
such handsome dividends as Miss Sim
plicity'' and 1.-The Princess Chic are
turning in weekly.
In other words, La Shelle believes in
the classic legend, "a bird in hand is
worth any number of wild ducks mile
and a half from shore" Or, as Plato
has so aptly put it, Don't everyday
good thing''

Kansas City. He was somewhat afraid
of the anatomical charts, and doc s.
explana tions of them scared him furth-
er, but he did so well that the fak1r
took him for tour of Lawrence, 1eaV-
enworth, Eudora and other eastern
Kansas points.
After this tour George returned to
Lawrence. He did not forget what the
fakir had taught him, but taught him
self more turns, which he did Tor the
entertainment of the people OF the
town. William Allen White, of Empor-
it, was then a young reporter on the
Lawrence Journal. George was IRE
quenter of the Journal office and George
was much pleased yesterday morning
when he read in the Lawrence Jour-
nal an interview with White in which
the latter declared that he would rather
attend Walkers show than see Irving
and Terry.
Young Mash" was soon the best dan
Ger in the town and was awarded several
medals. Finally he grew tired OF being
a waiter in restaurants and SINNER OF
shoes and he left Lawrence and dr1fted
to san Francisco, where he met Bert
Williams, a big negro bill poster. VIII
liams also did some good turns and the
two formed a partnership ana peSdh 70

clubs and private residences. In the
spring of 1893 Martin and Selig, VINO

as the Wandering Minstrels," saw
them do a vaudeville sketch and hired

road again.

owner of a big hog ranch. When salar-

branches the art of the stage was never

branches the art of the stage was never
so great as now.
But in its surface significance this
judgment of Mrs. Campbell may be
accepted as just enough. She approx
mates to greatness in her chosen art
probably as nearly as-possibly more
nearly than-any other stage woman of
her generation. 1t is chiefly to be re-
GREETED that she gives us no opportunity
of judging of the relatively of her
power, of her claim to greatness
through offering an Interpretation of
one or more of those great types of
womanhood which are representative
types in all generations. Magda and
Mrs. Tanqueray and the characters in
which Mrs. Campbell is to appear in the
coming week, so far as they are known,
are morbid, dwarfed, perverted, not
representative types in the same sense
as Medea or Lady Macbeth or Juliet or
Desdemona or even Lady Teazle. They
are not even as representative of uni
versal won anhood as Camille, narrow
and perverted in some respects as she
is. Left to her own taste, it is said that
Mrs. Campbell prefers to produce some
weirdly fantastic poem of Maeterlinck,
infusing into it's vagueness the charm
of her own personality. Probably this
is true. But the Maeterlinckian spirit
is merely destructive, transitional at
best. 1t is of this age purely. 1t has
little or nothing in common with the
age-long development of humanity. 1t
has, doubtless some office in the great
forward swing, but two centuries
hence it will be as dead as that of
Wycherly and Congreve today.

les became due and the box office re-
celptS were not large enough to pay
them, the owner of the ranch would
write to his son, who had charge of the
hog business, and order enough hogs
to be sold to keep the company from
becoming stranded. This lasted until
the proprietor had only 20 hogs left and
no money, when he disbanded his COM
pany. Williams and Walker have since
called themselves Sons of Ham, 1t is
usually supposed that this is because of
their color and the reputed descent of
their race from the third of Noah's
sons.
But this supposition is erroneous.
They took the name themselves when the
payment of their salaries depended
largely upon their employers success
in disposing of his hogs.
Williams and Walker then began to
drift about the country Their had luck
continued until they went to Chicago,
where they scored one real success.
linen they went to West Baden, where
they gave entertainments in hotel par
lors- Tom Canary. of the then firm of
Canary & Lederer, of New York Ca
sino fame, saw them, and. being favor
ably impressed with their performance,
engaged them to go to New York and
appear as an extra feature in the big
production of the Gold Bug" which
began September A. 1894 Their act
was what in theatrical parlance is call
ed knockout" They We're the first
colored performers to introduce in New
York the real cakewalk- The feature
made such a hit that offers began to
pour upon them from all parts of the
country. Their next success was with
Peter Daley in "A Good Thing" and
then came the banner engagement of
their career. 80 consecutive weeks at
Roster & Bia1's at $3.50 per week. At
the end of this they crossed the At
lantic and appeared for four weeks in
the Empire theater, London.
Williams and Walker do not owe
their success to the fact that they are
"eoons.' They have won it in spite of
this. They are among the very few ne
groes who have succeeded in perfectly
initiating the peculiarities of the mem
bers of their own race. Walker as the
negro swell, is one of the cleverest CO
medians on the American stage white
or black. while Williams, as the big
black, slouchy bully and 'slob" has per-
haps never been equaled. Walker is a
peculiarly clever singer of negro melo-
dies, and Williams has written many
