LOCAL TALENT SIN IN TILL
5A(R[D Op[RA "b[l5HAzzAR, "

"A large and enthusiastic audience
witnessed the opening performance of
the sacred opera, "Belshazzar," at the
Auditorium last night,
The chorus work was the principal
feature and II was so good that many
professional companies would find it
a difficult matter to improve upon
the ensemble singing of the local
societies.
The soloists are also deserving of
praise for their share in an excellent
entertainment. Some of the voices
are a trif1e light for q large theater,
but all the principals acquitted them
selves like old timers and won de-
served applause.

PREPARE EARLY FOR
CELEBRATING FOURTH

lined was briefly stated by Mr.. Oar
ling as follows:
THE day will be ushered in with
grand salute from Fort Wright
From sunrise until the time of parade
a program of sport will be arranged
which will be distinct departure
from anything heretofore pursued.
THE parade will take place at 10
o'clock, and in it we want to have
all the city and county officials. Every
business house in the city will be
represented with floats, and the labor
unions will turn out 5000 strong. All
the benevolent and protective soci-
cites will be in line. They will be
requested to extend an invitation to
outside towns to have their societies
present. The parade will be headed
by the soldiers from Fort Wright.
Fireworks displays VIII take place
day and night This part of the
program was very defective last year,
but we shall see that the display this
year will equal anything of the kind
ever witnessed. Arrangements are
already being made for a historical
spectacular display representing for
instance, the eruption of Mount We
suvius and the last days of Pompeii
We also desire to arrange for a first
class band contest, in which only the
outside towns may compete"
1t is probable that the committee
which was in charge of the celebra-
ton last year will be again selected.

by far the best play he has ever Of
fered. 1t is replete with deft touches
of humor and pathos, combined with
story of absorbing heart interest.
II teaches the necessity of honor in
the social relations of life, as well
as in business.
The comedy is sparkling, the dia-
logue crisp and the situations anus
ing as well as dramatic. Mr.. Sully
as John Ryan, the miller, has found
role worthy of his abilities as an
actor. There is truth without Of
Tense or eXaggeration, veritable
touch of nature which makes the

excellent.

RAILROAD WORLD.

Following the retirement of President
Baxter and his son from active identiti-
cation with the management of the Ten
nessee Central, II is rumored the road is
about to be divided up and absorbed by
established systems, says the New York
Commercial The disposition to be made
OF this read has been the most important
problem in the southern railroad situation
for years.
1t is the opinion of well informed finan-
oiers and railroad men that the eastern
division of the Tennessee Central, run
ming from Hartman, in East Tennessee.
where It connects with the Southern, to
Nashville, will pass to the Southern.
There is strong ground for belief that
1t is already practically under Southern
control and domination and it is expected
the formal transfer will be made within
six months or year.
The western division, from Nashville
northwest to Hopknsville, is now being
built 1t will connect with the Illinois
Central at Hopkinsvile, and it Is said
the Illinois Central is now conducting
negotiations which will enable 1t to con-
troll and operate the road
The financial backing of the road is
in a ST. Louis syndicate. in which for
rner Governor David r. Francis is inter-
ested J. C. Van Blarcom of st. Louis.
a member of the syndicate, has succeeded
Mr. Baxter az president.
The road is manifesty of far greater
value as giving an entrance into Nashville
for the Southern and Illinois Central than
1t is as an Independent line and the fact
that the Southern has made liberal traf-
fic arrangements with it is taken to mean
that it looks upon the line with an eye
favorable to its opportunities for com
peting with the Louisville and Nashville
business.
Stuyvesant Fish. president of the I'LL
nois central, as long ago as 1897 expressed
the opinion that Nashville should be
reached by his line and the signs of the
times appear to Indicate that the wish
then lnferentially expressed will soon be
realized in fact.
The March report of the seaboard Air
Line shows an increase of about IL per
cent in gross and about % per cent in net,
according to the Wall Street Journal The
showing in both gross and net is consd-
erably better than the average for the
months which shows an increase of about
II per cent in gross and decrease OF
about per cent in net
The very heavy expenditures for the
nine months are accounted for by the
expenses incident to putting the line in
shape. The system is new and being con-
stantly improved the net earnings being
freely sacrificed for the benefit of the
| capital account. Mr.. Williams has adopt
ed a policy for his system which, while
not perhaps perfectly satisfactory &c

on their investments, will, 1t is believed
result to the ultimate benefit of the cor
poration.
