WALDORFS WIN.
WITH COMEDY

To say that the crowded audience at
the orpheum Theater Saturday evening
we're corvulsed with laughter is but to
mildly describe the effect caused upon
them by the extremely dive rting COM
edy, Turned Up" The WaIdorfs
seemed to hit it with the house right
eff the mark. and made the pace rattle
| throughout the entertainment. 1t was
undoubtedly the success III the season
| in the way of comedy, the appreciation
after the second act the management
posted a notice in the theater that the
bill would be repeated on Monday even
ing, this being the only chance for
second performance. 1t would be i'm
possible to describe the Iudicrous stu
atoms which occur in this play. Suffice
to say that the fun begins at the jump
and that il does not relax for one min
Ute until the last fall of the curtain.
The audience Saturday repeatedly
broke into applause during the action
of the play and at the close of each
act the performers received quite an
ox alton. The success of TIE play was
due to the excellent characterization
given to the leading parts. In well
concerted comedy it is difficult to give
Pride of place to any particular charac-
ter and in this instance each one was,
in its own way, thoroughly we'll sus-
ts med. Perhaps Mrs. Dow-Currier's
Cleopatra, an American negro woman.
and Mr. ST Clair Bayfield's highly
amusing impersonation of Caraway
Rcnes found most favor with the audi
enee. But while these two parts were
nade intensely diverting, there was no
less artistic work in Mr.. NorvaI Nc
Gregor's acting as George Midway, a |
difficult role to sustain. Miss Janet |

Sabina Midway. but she helped the |

MANY NEW WORKS.
There are still other great works UNI
der way, but enough has been. said to
show what a vast demand for labor and
the management thereof win spring up
in the District of Columbia The popu-
lation of the city OF washington. which
includes most of the District of Column
bia, is approximately 2SO. GOO people. Of
whom about $4,000 are colored. All the
available laborers are now engaged on
numerous local enterprises at present
under way and thousands more will be
necessary to press the work with dis
patch. Accordingly to a certainty the
population will be swelled greatly and
Washington within the next year will
take on the proportions and the con-
sequent activity of a boom city of the
works. numerous private building en-
terprises are in progress. The city
during the last two years has become
dotted with tall modern structures, that
have risen on the ruins of the pictures
que red brick houses that are remem-
bered from the Civil War period The
business center of the town has rapidly
come TO look like the heart of Boston,
New York, Chicago. or other up to date

All these things will immensely beau
tify the Capitol city. for most of them,
including the great railroad improve
ments, are in lines with a well defined
plan which is rather boastfully but none
the less truly proclaimed to be to make

tribunals will be erected just east of

partment of Justice and the Depart
ment of Commerce are also to have
new buildings, although the
scheme for them has not been fully
worked out. The government is CIV
ing freely towards these plans of beau
tification from a Treasury. which it is
true. is none too full just now, in view
of the tremendous expenditures of over
billion and a half of dollars authoriz-
ed and appropriated for by the Fifty
eighth Congress during the two years
of its existence. But the bills, large as
they may be, will all be promptly paid,
although the totals to be disbursed
would have appalled, the government
fnanciers a decade ago.

UNEXPECTED DEATH
or william J. Witherspoon, a Promi-
nent Citizen, Last Saturday.

"Will Witherspoon is dead"
This announcement which was made
late last Saturday afternoon fell like
a thunder clap out Of clear sky
upon the citizens OF Madison, many
Of whom did not know even that he
had been i'll.
Tor several days Mr.. Witherspoon
had been complaining but at no
time was he considered seriously i'll
until within a few hours Of his
death. Though not feeling very
well and being somewhat inconven.
fenced by rheumatism he kept bis
station at the post office until last
Wednesday when he went to hIs
home and retired TO his bed. He
was thought to he getting along
nicely, no one dreaming that his i'll.
ness was Of a serious character until
after dinner the day Of his death.
William j. Witherspoon was NJ q.
tive OF Madison county, having been
born at Moseley Hall on July 18th,
1860, ana was therefore in the
iUrty-third year Of his age when death
claimed him. For q number OF
years he occupied prominent po-
sition 10 the community. During
the second administration Of Presi-
dent Cleveland he was appointed
postmaster at this place and held the
place until two years ago when the
present pos master was appointed by
President Mckinley. Recognizing
the worth and efficiency of Mr.,
Witherspoon postmaster Zippersr re-
tanned him in the Office in the ca
pacity Of assistant postmaster and
upon him has fallen the work and
conduct Of the Office.
Mr.. Witherspoon was a most
loving, kind aud generous character
and his friends we're numbered hy
the hundre Is. The funeral wa:
held at the city cemetery Sunday at
ternoon, the services being conduct
ell by DR.. Mickle, his pastor, and I
delegation from Live Oak Lodge
Woodmen Of the World, of which
order tie deceased was q meneer
and the ceremonies were witnessed
by large plumber of the friends o
the deceased who gathered to rendel
unto their departed friend the lac
sd tokens of respect and esteem.
The widow and two children who
are thus deprived Of the compan
ionship of an affectionate husband
aud tender father have the synpa
thy Of the entire community in thei
bereavement.

velopment and growth.
Last summer when soiourning annie
the beautiful scenery Of the Blue Ridge
mountains OF North Carolina, oftimes
ascending 10 the topmost peak and
standing there npon the solid granite
rocks eight thousand feet above the
level Of the sea, I was torcibly remind
ed Of that grand old familiar hymn,
"How Firm q Foundation"
How restful the scene OF mountain
ivy with its ch green foliage inter
spersed with the beautiful rhododend-
ron field daises, sweet scented Gle
matte golden rod, and every variety Of
fern from the fragile maiden hair to
the stately sword, carpet Of blue grass
and gigantic forest trees Of white pine,
maple, poplar, chestnut and elm, or
even pause 10 drink from crystal
springs flowing from some projecting
rock, such as we imagine gladdened
the hearts and satiated the thirst Of the
children OF Israel as Shey journeyed ia
the Wilderness. Wrapped In profound
admiration orr thoughts rose upward
to the Great Giver Of sea and air, oil
earth and sky, and through His grand
est works pour out our souls In thank
fulnees.
Here too. we enjoyed every delicacy
that tempts the palate and social funct-
IONS Of the highest and most approven
type. Still we longed for familiar ia.
ces, friends Of long ago with whom we
might commune, and this thought sug'
gested itself: why all towns DO not
adopt the custom OF the eastern states
and celebrate "Welcome Home Day !"
why wait I'll they only return to take
up their abode with loved ones who
sleep awaiting The resurrection morn!
why not dear old Madison claim the
honor Of originating this custom in ouI
btlmy Southland, sending out invita-
tions "welcome home to week OF pleas
urable amueementsy" Those who have
never been eX res dents Of their native
villages cannot imagine the happiness
that such an invitation would bring Il
those who have made other friends but
none more dear. What words thrill OF
cheer the hearts more than those which
say to us "S,ill remem bered-welcom,
home"

A FAMILY AFFAIR.

Leader Murphy of Tammany Hall has
always put his brothers and relatives
into Office and has secured contracts
for his friends. A select coterie has
grown rich with him. Just when he
reached his greatest distinction, the
leadership of Tammany Hall. grave
scandals in the Dock department unde1
Van Wyck's administration have been
disclosed, affecting his repute and likely
to embarrass Tammany Hall. Leases
Of piers at ridiculously low figures
were granted to Tammany contractors
and to figureheads, and contracts to
the extent of millions were given out
without public bidding One excuse of
Murphy is that he was i'll when a
large part of this was done. Another
is that the city ought not to expece
more than five per cent" income or
its property. the corollary being, of
course that Tammany men should get
the rest.-Franklin Matthews in the
