Teddy is master of the situation III
Ohio and will get the endorsement OF
the Republican Convention, which
will be held in that State next week.
Boss Hanna up to a few days ago
strenuously opposed the endorsement
and still thinks it i'll advised, but the
patronage that the President controls
in that State is too powerful for even
the Chairman of the National Com

A white chambermaId III an Indian
apolis hotel recently refused to make
up a bed in which Booker Washington
had slept The woman was promptly
discharged and the newspapers passed
the incident along. In few days the
sum of s., 800 was raised and forward
ed to the discharged white woman and
many were the letters of cOmmenda-
ton which she received. The fact that
this white woman refused to become a
servant for Booker speaks well for her,
and the act of these Southern gen.
tlemen was an expression Of their ap-
proval.
OF course this woman and these gen.
tlemen have offended some, and among
those who have shown their unholy
wrath is the Rev. DR.. Hills, the sue
cessor of Henry Ward Beecher, of the
Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. This
later day saint of social equality de-
clares, that these Southern gentlemen
represent the worst in American life" "
That is, they and white woman who
refuses to perform mental office for a
colored man is the worst class of GRIM
inals.
DR.. Hills declares that he is going
to write Booker to visit his church and
make an address, and if he cannot be
entertained in a Brooklyn Hotel, he
will take him to his own home, and if
he cannot find some one to make bis
bed for him, he will do it himself and
feel greatly honOred.
This inspired, reverend chamber
maid, of course, will have the hearty
consent of the southern gentlemen as
well as the discharged white woman.
They will not hold him in any con-
tempt but will have real sympathy for
him, that the Creator has put such a
curse upon him as to give him white
skin.
The Doctor seems to think that
Booker might have trouble to find a
suitable hotel in Brooklyn. Then he
ought to go among the hotels and re-
form them, or better still lay aside his
robes, dress himself in female attire
and maids cap and go to Booker
school, apply for place as chamber
maid and make himself handy in look
ing after BoOker's bed and attending
to other duties in that institution. He
has our consent and we would like to
hear that he has the job.

Senator Arthur p. German, now III
London, has been interviewed there, III
regard to the possibility of his coming
out as a candidate for President, and Is
quoted as saying: "The election is a
long way off and | haven't yet begun
to think seriously as to what L shall
do. The only coming out L am think
inc about is coming out to have good
time. Any other coming out can
wait" He might have added, III view
of the differences in the Democratic
ranks, that it would be better for 1.-THE
office to seek the man." and If when
the National Democratic Convention
meets, the decision is reached tha'
their differences can be best harmon
lied under his leadership, that III
would accept the nomination OF III
party. If his candidacy means this
surely no one could be more acceptable
to the people of the South.

The privileges to be let to the highest
bidder by the Eastern Shore Agricul-
tural Association at their fair grounds,
near Keller, advertised in this issue of
the paper, and indicating that there is
life in the "Old Fair" yet, will be read
with interest by thousands, who dur
ing the twenty-five years Of its exis-
tence have been gathered within its
gates. 1t is gratifying to be able to say
too, in this connection, that the indica-
tons are that the fair will not only go
on this year, but it looks now as if the
end is not yet by many years.

The fruit crop will be short through
out the country this year according 10
reports made by the Fruit Trade Jour
nal and other authorities. The cola
weather early in the season ana the
dry weather later has caused losses
which cannot be made up, 1t is thought,
however favorable the weather may
be during the balance of the season.
This being true, the prediction Will
soon be in order, that better prices may
be expected by the growers OF SWEEP
and Irish potatoes. Such at leas'
seems to have been the result in other
wears of shortage i'll the fruit crol
and which may be reasonably expect
ed this season. For this and othel
reasons our staple crops are likely u
be in demand, and it looks now, as L
only a careless handling of same o.
lack of Judgment i'll selling then
would prevent us from disposlng o
them at remunerative, perhaps 1anc!
prices.

distrihation to prospective Colorado
tourists, which is a fine example of
modern railway advertising. The
illustrations are remarkably interest

shown In railway advertising matter,
but include the various features of
that industrial, commercial and civic

cIATIvE AUDIENCE
AN
Mrs.
woodford's Entertainment
Highly Appreciated.

The entertainment in Union hall
last evening given by the Women of
Woodcraft, under the direction of Mrs.
Laura G., Woodford was well attended
and every number was fine. The Sec
ond Regiment band was present and
delighted the audience with several
splendid selections.
Mrs. Woodford in her recitation
"School for Scandal in two scenes,
was exceptionally fine, and judging
from the prolonged encore made a
most favorable hit.
Miss Carlotta Rice rendered vio-
lin solo. and as is always the case
with that young lady, was compelled
to respond to an encore.
The Elks quartette consisting of
Messrs Hitler, Atkinson, Criddle and
Watson did so we'll that they were
called back
Miss Ethel Lewis recited "Sleery-
time in Darkeytown' to the delight
of all. This little lady is genuine
mimic and when she appeared for the
second time with 'I've Got Baby
Brother" she brought down the house.
.The Telephone Romance" mono.
logue-by Miss Mabel Sheafer was
excellent. Miss Sheafer has often
appeared before Florence audiences
but never to better advantage than
last evening She was forced to re-
spond.
Prof. Eichhorn captured the au-
dience with one of his solo selections
and when he was compelled to respond
to second call he stated that Mrs.
Eichhorn always gave his responses.
She. too. won soft place in the
hearts of her hearers
Mrs Woodford's recitation "An
Appeal" was a comical composition
and she delivered il true to life.
Mr.. Barton's cornet solo was SO
highly enjoyed that he had to respond.
His oornet work is of high order aud
always commands the strictest atten-
tion from Florence audience.
Taking the entertainment rs a
whole it was one of the best ever given
in this city, and Mrs Woodford is to
be congratulated upon her splendid
success
