GRAND OPENING OF THE DRAMA TIC SEASON AT THE HARDWlCK

After several weeks correspondence and numerous telegrams between MT. Stechan, manager Of the Hardwick theater. and MT. A. J. Hotchkiss, man ger of the Grafton De Vernon Stock company, now playing at the Isis thea ter san Diego, Cal, where they have been for the past three months, Mir. Stechen has induced MT. Hotchkiss tO stop over at Phoenix for limited en- gagement of one week, on his way to San Antonio, Texas, where his com pany will open a season of thirty-five weeks commencing October ?. Phoe- nix will be the only city stopped at be- tween San Deigo and San Antonio and will open here, Monday September 19.
 This company is an excellent one and has received hattering notices from the press of San Diego. and is classed as being ore of the best stock organ izations in the country. Mir. Stechan is to be congratulated upon securing such a capable company to open his cozy theater.
 The company is headed by two wei known leading people, Mr Lawrence Grattan and Miss Vail De Vernon, who have made enviable regulations throughout the east.
 MT. Grattan has ben identified with such well known organizations as the Pike Theatre Stock Co. at Cincinnati, O.. two solid years as leading man at Shubert Bros, New majestic theater at Utica, N. Y, also a years engagement at the Garrick theater, Chicago, III.
 Miss De Vernon has also had sever al notable engagements to her credit having starred for two seasons under W. A. Brady's management in "The Clemenceau Case, also q season with the Vandome Theater Stock company at Nashville. Tenn, playing the leading roles. Her disappearance on the coast was some three years ago when sne appeared here with the Three Mus keeters" as leading lady.
 The Company supporting Mir. Grat- tan and Miss De Vernon number among the best, prominent among them being Miss Alice Gear, an exceptional clever young lady, Miss Louise Mel rose, character woman of talent anl ability, Miss Christie Mclean, a very clever ingenUe and soubrette Miss Claudio Colonna, etc. Among the men we find the names of such well known players as Mr. Arthur Hill, MT. Edward Clisbee, MT. J. A. Ferguson, MT. Lynn Osborne, MT. D. F. Rice and MT. Al bert Rynearson; in fact the full com pany is one of more than ordinary ability.
 change of bill will be made each night and the repertoire will be an- nounced later. Popular prices will prevail and the engagement should be both an artistic and financial success.

intolerable as to cause an uprising of

law enforcement. And at mammoth
mass meeting one night last week,
Senator Carmack was one of the
speakers. and he used these words:
II have heard over and over again
that Memphis owes her great pros
perity to the fact that it is wide
open town. wish to express my
humble opinion that wide open
gambling hell is no more beneficial to
this community than wide open

little attention to the Tax Assessor
race; because it does not pay much
they do not regard it very highly. But
it is really an important Office and
deserves more thoughtful consideration
by voters generally than it receives.
In fact, on every election day every
business man should go to the polls,
and think of his business interests
when he votes. The whlskey men
always do that; and that is the only
reason or explanation in the world,
why the nefa1ious whiskey traffic is
not wiped off the face of the earth.
Not only should every business man
consult his business interests when he
votes, but every moral man should
remember his duty to society, and
every Christian man should remem

little personal favor or personal preju-

POOR OLD MEMPHIS.

Memphis has been Sowing to the
wind all these years. and now she is
reaping the whirlwind. Memphis is
perhaps the wickedest city in the
South. There is more drinking,
more gambling. more. lewdness. more
quarreling, fighting and....killing, than
In any other city of the. South. There
are said to be greater number of
houses of ill fame. including assigna-
ton houses, than in any other south.
ern city. There is more of political
corruption there than elsewhere /;
there is more of social decentralization
and degeneracy. Memphis society is
about the fastest you can find in the
South. And while there are some
good people there. there is-.less religion
per capita ln..Memphls, less attention
paid TO church. vows. less observance
of the Sabbath. less obedience to law,
human or divine, than in any other
southern city; possibly any other city
of it's size in America.
1t is just as natural for Memphis to
have come to this, as it is for an I'M
cody man or woman to come to a
old age. And Memphis,
like some individuals, has lived so
long in its sins that it is past redemp-
ti0n. The atmosphere of Memphis
will never be conducive to good
to christian character, to right
living. To those who wish to sell out
to the Money Devil Memphis is good
place to cultivate his society. To those
who wish to sell their souls to the
usts of the flesh; to those who wish to
rritter away their lives in fast, friv-
)lous almost abandoned society. and
20 the gait at pace that kills the |
mind. the body and the soul, Memphis !
IS their Mecca.
And Memphis can't help it. Her
)eople have sinned so long. that it is
,orn in the marrow and bred in the
zone, and children yet unborn will
rink of the miasma of sin from the
dug by their fathers. A
,eople cannot harden their hearts and
,tlffen their necks and sin against
Sod and society, one generation after
mother, and in spasm of Indignation
DOT up the tares all in one day.
Whatsoever we sow, that shall We
'lso reap. = That is as certain, as in
allible, as true as Cause and Effect,
which 1t Is. And it is no less true of
than it is of individuals
t is true of men and women, Of
tiles and of nations. History and all
human experience teaches it, and the 4
7ord of God proclaims it. q
The effort being made in Memphis
ow by the best people may clear the
tmosphere for awhile and some good
lay be done. But sin is at the loot |
the trouble in Memphis, and until |
,e Refor sners dig down to tho root
