UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES.
Youth, beauty. talent are trio Of
good things that seldom fall to tho
lot OF one person. Miss Grace
George is one Of the few fortu-
mates who possess them. She is
the youngest and the lovliest Of all
the women stars now appearing be-
fore the public and possesses a de.
gree OF talent that places her 10 tho
very front tank OF actresses.
Miss Grace George has found an
admirable vehicle for her talents ia
part OF the young Southern girl, the
heroine of the play, and her delin,
cation of the character unstiuted
praise and enthusiasm from press
and public during the ten weeks
run Of the play in New York.
Her playing OF the role is followed
with smiles, tears, or breatbles
interest by her audiences-the tru.
est tribute that could be given to
her art. Although anxious to ex.
tend Miss Georges engagement be.
yond its original three months Mr..
Brady found it impossible to do OF
account Of other bookings at the
Republic, and the entire product
ton will be taken en- tour. The
play will be seen in this city at the
Grand Opera House on March 7th.

and Guard the Prison.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 16.-Both Earl

Wednesday, the burglar murderers of
Merchant A. B. Chinn, were late We'd

GERS and placed aboard a c. & o. train
bound for Louisville at 6 o'clock. A
mob spirit peryades the city, and hun
dreds of men and women are on the
streets around the Jail They refuse
to believe that the men have been re-
moved, and That Jail will be searched
from top to bottom before morning
is a significant statement heard in
many groups. The two companies Of
militia which were originally ordered
out to protect the men may now be
called upon to clear the streets about
and guard the jail
George Balm and AL. De Long, two
citizens of high standing, were adj
mitted to the Jail as representatives
of several hundred men present and
permitted to search the prison from
top to the dungeons.
They reported that the men wanted
were not in the Jail. The crowd in
front then raised a howl, and at the
suggestion of leaders, adjourned to the
courthouse square.
Ex-COunty Clerk Claude Chinn ac-
companied the crowd and made a
speech to about two hundred men. He
is brother of the man murdered. He
said:
81 do not know what to advise you
to do at this moment, but something
must be done. Those murderers must
be punished. 1 had a man watch the
Jail since noon. He says the men
have not been moved"
''Will you go with us?' was asked
by a member of the crowd.
81 will go any place with you. You
know my record" replied the old con-
federate soldier
One Of the more quiet Of the crowd
suggested that before anything radical
was done Mr. Chinn search the Jail
in person. With this the crowd, now
numbering about four or five hundred,
went to the Jail. A strong force of
police guarded the entrance to the Jail.
Mr.. Chinn, at 3:45 o'clock, mounted
the jail steps and addressed the
crowd. He told them he was now GER
tain the murderers were not in the
Jail and urged them to disperse.
The crowd demanded that another
committee be admitted to make a
search. The yells of the crowd have
attracted thousands to the vicinity.
The men were moved after a confer
ence between the county judge, Col.
Williams, of the I'd regiment, and po-
lice authorities.
