His Precious Package.

A first cabin passenger of one of the
Atlantic liners which came to this
port a few days g descended the
.gangway with al unusual piece of bag
gage in his hand. 1t was a bottle in a
straw case, says the New York Post.
He held it carefully. and nee when he
called aside to attend to other ar
tees of his impedimenta, he placed
the matched package in the guardian
ship of a friend with the request that
he should not take his eyes from i!
for a minute.
When he turned someone asked the
reason for such SoIicitude as to the
bottle and he replied:
That's 1881 Scotch whiskey, and I
didn't put it in my luggage because
wouldn't risk having it broken for any
thing in the world"

Many complaints have been heard Of
the vandalism OF the soldiers en- route to
the army m~anoe1vres at Manassas.
Yesterday morning when the train car
ryins the Georgia troops stopped at
Belmont, Ed Stowe, a well known and
industrious colored carpenter Of this
city was handled roughly and serious
" and permanently injured.
He was on his way to visit friends
near Belmont and dismounted from the
bicycle ne was riding TO cross the rail-
road tracks. When the soldiers spied
Stowe they made for a pile Of rocks
and began 10 throw stones at him. The
cOlOred man was struck several times,
one Of the ton destroying the sight
OF his left eye.
When the train stopped in Charlotte,
q crowd of the soldiers walked up West
Trade street and went in the fruit and
confectionery store of y. Paul. in the
Presbyterian Hospital~building. When
Paul informed them that he Gould not
sell anything on Sunday, the soldiers
began helping themselves to fruits and
confectiO1s n did not stop until the
stock was greatly depleted.
Early yesterday morning a crowd of
soldiers went into the Gem restaurant,
and while several were eating at the
lunch counter. others helped themselves
10 cigars and chewing gum. The ma
RAIDERS took 10 boxes of cigars and sew
eraI boxes OF chewing gum-took them
deliberately. with no pretence OF pay
ing for them The loss TO the restau-
ant is at least 80.
The soldiers who were eating ct the
lunch counter paid for what they got
and took no part in the ~depredations.
a small cOlored boy who was loafing
around the Southern passenger station
when one of the troop trains stopped
here was given a fright that he will
remember for a long while. After a
short chase he was captured by a bur-
~ soldier. who, with the assistance of
several companions, look a blanket and
kept the boy bouncing in the air for
several minutes

The "Katzenjammer Kids played
to a good house last night at the
Gennett. The play abounds in "slap
stick" work, much Of which could
be eliminated to the benefit of the
piece The specialties were all good,
and the show, while not in the "front
rank" was pleasing to the majority
of the audience.
"New England Folks" February
25th.
Clay Clement comes to the Gen
nett February Goth.
House Clark for week and the
house staff is enjoying much needed
rest and getting IN shape for the
many good shows that are coming.
The one conspicuous play Of south
ern life now being presented to the
pubic is "Under Southern Skies. =
It's success has been extraordinary,
and it grows in favor with each sue
ceeding season. Under Southern
Skies is now in its third season,
and it is unquestionably one of those
plays which, like "The Old Home
stead" and "'Way Down East, =
seems destined to 90 on forever. Tn
der Southern Skies has been called
the "'Way Down East" of the
south, and many even prefer its
scenes Of beauty, and air of romance,
to the homelier New England plays.
The scenery of "Under Southern
Skies" is a reproduction of the lux
uriant, fowery landscapes and state
ly homes of the south, the women
wear the dainty, airy costumes affect
ed by the high born southern woman,
and the play fairly bubbles with the
gay and lavish hospitality for which
the people Of the south have always
been noted. Woven throughout the
scenes of merriment and music with
which the play abounds, is story of
intense interest that holds the au-
dience from the rise to the fall OF the
curtain. A large east is employed
in the presentation of this play;
twenty-seven people, and each one
has been selected because of his or
her special fitness for the part. Al
together the appearance of "Under
Southern Skies at the Gennett
theater on February Goth will be one
Of the big events Of the theatrical
season.
