The following from the Biloxi

to some highly salacious Thes-
plan exhibits:

spectacle element in this COM
munity in a protest against the
class of performances being OK
hibited in this city, and in a plea
for higher and cleaner order of
Thcspian amusement. The class
Of troupcs being brought here,
with rare exceptions, is an insult
to the decent families of this city,
as well as dcpriving them of the
pleasure andonjoyment the theatre
was designed to afford. The ten
deney of such plays It's that given
here last night is to debauch the
youth Of the city, to dcbase
morals and assault every sense of
the decent prophecies, and it is
not surprising that worthy citi-
zens protest against such. That
this man or that is responsible for
the condition of matters cuts no
figure; it is wrong, is doing ma
tcrial violence to the welfare of
the community and should be
prevented Biloxi stands with
the enlightened cities of the land
