LA MARCIA DE CADIZ,
CORO DE SENORAS,
LAS CAMPANADAS.

A las ocho de la noche,
un minute mas 6 menos,
Sc descorri6 la cortina
v en- el tinglao aparecieron
los artistas de la Union,
los cuales artistas dieron
priucipio a Ia "ejecucion"
de Ia zarzuela de Celso
que Sc intitula: LA Marcia
de Cadiz." En- ella hicieron
los referidos artistas,
un gran derroche de ingenio,
pues en- verdad que sacaron
Ia zarzuela como buenos
actores; y Montesinos,
que ha dado pruebas de serlo,
estuvo anoche q la altura
de los montes Princes
6 de otros montes cualquieras
que esten la altura de esos.
En- ell "Coro de Sefioras"
los que mas Sc distinguieron,

Por 10 que toca a Teclita,

dire que estuvo muy mona
en- sus papeles diversos;
aunque serfa conveniente,

que no salga mas de chula

Evaristo Velez Lopez,

estuvo que nj de cromo
en- cuanto al ffSco externo,
y en- cuanto q gracia, 4 la altura
del chistosismo Quevedo.
Los demas actores bien,
y los coros, me rehero
al de SefIcraS, que, vamoS,

iporque anoche al fla, sefiores,

Saludo al cotarro Il coro
y 10 aplaudo des lie luego,
En- cuanto q "Las Campan ada"
que. estaban en- tercer termino,
dire tan solo lectores
que caSi casi fue un exito,
pues en- manos de Teclita
y la Nlfiez, dos del sexo
debil muy capaces de
volvere de aqua los sesos,
a san Pablo Il a otro santo
de los mas santos del cielo,
es natural que a lcauzara
esa zarzuelita TN gran eXito.
Ademas, el joven VeIez,
estuvo "a mar de "gueno",
y el sefior Loubriel, don (R),
que pesar de un aguacero
que cayo en- aquel instante,
va pesar de que su terno

81 coro, que era fornido,
(veinte y cuatro de ambos sexos)

que la salida la creo

When the court was at Fontainebleau,

insisted upon having two plays a week
in the palace theater. Only the best
actors Of the Coincide Franchise at
Paris performed in these plays, and the
emperor personally supervised the en-
tire arrangements. sometimes demand

would say TO the grand chamberlain,
u. de Remusat, who was the director OF
court thcatriCals. Then messengers
would be dispatched posthaste for the
requisite property" and persons, the
whole day passing in excitement and
SUSPENSE for the principals involved.
Finally, after infinite trouble and worry
on all sides, the play would be produc-
ed, and Napoleon. sitting preOccupied

HE owned to me that in battle, in
the greatest dangers and even in the
midst of deserts lie had always in view

directing his thoughts toward Athens"
He interfered in the most arbitrary
manner with the costumes of his eng
press and the court ladies. You are

Avrillion, an attendant of Josephine,
says:

for us to see the man whose head
was filled with such vast affairs enter
into the most minute details Of the
female toilet, and of what dresses,
what robes and what jewels the en-
press should wear on such and such an
occasion. One day he daubed her dress
with ink because he did not like it and
wanted her to put on another When
ever he looked into her wardrobe lie
was sure 10 throw everything topsy

On the occasion Of his marriage with
Maria Louisa he went out of his way to

OUR RALEIGH LETTER
Thinos Seen and Heard at the
State Capital.
GoRMAN NEWS BUREAU, !
Rnr,cu N e.. Oct, 1S. 1904.


RALEIGH, N. C., Oct. 18. 19O4.j
II the tenor of the utterance OF some OF
the Northern newspapers is sale GUIDE
it begins to look as though the position
ON the negro question which MIR. koose-
Welt has forced his party to take IN TINS
campaign, is very likely to cost the ne
publicans a great many votes IN some
of the close States which they wouid
otherwise secure.
The Rooeeveltism social-equahty aIu-
tude toward the negro, which the he
publican leaders are forced 20 assume,
is not proving to be as popular among
large classes of white people especiany
the working classes, in some OF the
Northern States as the President had
supposed and probably hoped. 1t GER
tainly is not working any advantage
or lasting good to the negro race, or TO
negroes as individuals.
On the contrary, it is having an exact
" opposite effect. 1t is arOusing an en-
mity to the negroes that will grow IN
the yeaAas to come in the North, ana
eventually work them much harm col
lectively and individually.
1t can easily be seen by the negroes
themselves. in the face OF facts along this
line that are developing every day IN
that section, that Mr.. Roosevelt is a bad
man for the race to have for friend"
And not only Mr.. Roosevelt, but every
white man who takes such a mistake
and unwise course of action will do the
negro much more harm than good in the
end.
Here in the South, in North Carolina
and in Raleigh. the better class OF respec-
table negroes appreciate the utter hope
lessness of attempting to make a fight
for so-called SOCIAL equality" and they
do not subscribe to the views nor at
tempt to personally carry out the bad
advice that is sometimes offered them
by white men, ignorant OF the social
conditions here and the impossbility OF
changing them.
They recognize the friendly feeling of
the white people, the best white people
especially, towards. the negro race on
general principles, and are quite content
not to interrupt the good relations that
at present obtain by asking for or de
manding" the impossible.
U. S. Senator Rayner, OF Maryland,
ina speech delivered in Baltimore last
week, spoke intelligently and truthfully
on the subject of the negro policy of the
present occupant of the White House,
when he said:
Il would not deprive them of any
human privilege that God has given
| them. | would civilize them, educate
them, and not deny them single guaran-
tee accorded them by the Constitution;
but the time will never come when you
can combine and amalgamate the races;
they will never coalesce, and the attempt
of the President in this direction is the
dream of a fanatic and a visionary, that
will never be realized. He can never
force upon the people of this country
either social or political equality
That is a clear presentation of the at
titude of the Southland of fast grow
ing majority OF the white people Of the
North and West, also.
The Roosevelt idea" is a dangerous
enemy to the best interest of the negro
race in the United States

Todd. an inspector who yesterday made

cipal Address and the Exercises
Closing With the DOxolOgy.

New York, August 2.-Bishop Henry
G. Potter delivered the principal adj
dress today at the formal opening of
The Subway Taven," a model saloon,
which was established by a number
of leaders in the reform movement in
the city. The purpose Of the promot-
ers of the enterprise is to serve pure
liquor and food at low prices under
the best possible moral conditions. In
his address Bishop Potter said the key
note had been struck by this attack
on the liquor situation. He said he
believed in the old village tavern as
a meeting place where a long evening
could be pen without the necessity
of intoxication.
II belong to a dozen clubs" he said.
If / want to go out to dinner or q
social evening ! can do SO in any one
Of these clubs. But what OF the man
who lives in two rooms, with 1--WE small
children. He has no club. To get his
glass OF beer with his luncheon he
must go to b saloon.
This is the greatest social movement
New York has yer known. It is a
movement every one OF you aus take
into o il you would save the re-
public"
Bishop Potter concluded by wishing
every success to the movement uAe
formal opening ended by the singing
OF b Doxology.
