L. Power. late Secretary Of State. de-
parted this life a. his home in Jack

d. 1901.
His love for the State OF Mississippi
knew no bounds, and his loyalty to its
every interest was complete; his re
spect for it's laws was reverential, and
his contempt was supreme for those
who wantonly dishonored and dis
obeyed them. As a private citizen, his
friendships were ferYid and enduring,
his enmities few, his philanthrophy
great and his charity sublime. In his
death the State has lost one OF It's
most public spirited and useful men,
and the Administration Of which he
was a part one OF its wisest counsel

OFFENDS SoUTHERNERs
Daughters of the Confectionery object TO
"Unele Toms Cabin" Because It's
Not Typical OF slave Life

Lexington, KY, Jan. 11.-Lexington
chapter, United Daughters of Confed-
eraey, sent written petition to
Charles b. Scott, manager of the Lex
ington opera house, asking that the
play Uncle Toms Cabin" never be
played again at the opera house here.
They give reasons that the best citi-
zens and old families living in and
about Lexington were once slaveown-
ers as heritage, not of their own
choosing; that the incidents of "UneIe
Toms Cabin" are not typical of slave
life in the south, but of isolated cases:
that the production, the play and lis
being advertised with bloodhounds
and pictures of an old negro in chains
and a slaveowner with whip in hand,
give false idea of the history of the
times to the children of the city and
shows direspect to the southern gen
tlemen and good citizens and their
families in this part of the country.
The petition has created a sensation
here.
