PtNzAl(t' PIRATES
ARTISTIC and M.SICAL
SUCCESS OF AMATEURS
HAWAIIAN OPERA HOUSE FILLED
WITH CRITICAL AUDIENCE
WHICH APPlAUDS De.
SPITE RULES.

The performance Of "The Pirates of
Penzance' given at the Opera House
last night can we'll be said to be per-
feet success in every particular. II did
great credit both to those who managed
the production as well as to the talented
amateurs who carried out their parts,
soloists as well as choruses, with much
eclat. Every seat Of the Opera House
was taken. society turning out In full
force to see the histrionic efforts Of its
many friends on the stage. The audi
ence showed that II was well pleased
with the performance by liberal ap-
plause. AS matter OF fact the APP
plause at times became SO strenuous
that parts Of the play were perfectly
drowned.
The staging Of the play was excellent
and the elaborate and fantastic cos
tunes of the pirates blended with the
many handsome costumes of the ladies
and the grotesque uniforms of the po-
'licemen produced rich and very pic
turesque effect. The choruses showed
the benefit of careful training and the
orchestra, under the direction of Kap-
pelmeister Berger, did its part towards
making the performance a general sue
cess.
In the selection of the light opera
from among Gilbert and Sullivan's
characteristic works a very wise choice
YVES made. The play was excellently
adapted to be carried out well by just
such clever amateurs as those who last
night crowned their efforts with sue
cess. The brilliant libretto had in
many places been altered by Allan
Dunn, who had managed to bring in
many exceedingly clever and funny
! local hits which were much enjoyed by
the audience. They were especially
brought out to their full advantage by
inimitable Sonny" Cunha and his
chorus Of policemen. Sonny" was In
all his glory last night and his noble
band kept up with him bravely. They
brought many a hearty laugh from
the appreciative audience.
The proceeds OF the performance go
to swell the st. Augustine Chapel's
organ fund.

CHURCH MEMBERS WARNED
QUESTION or DISPENsARY LOCATION
GROWS IN INTEREST.
Pastor Cook Reads Church Law Against
Members Renting Buildings for
the Sale of Whiskey.

There was a very interesting pre-.
lGde to the sermon on last Sunday
morning at the Methodist church.
The pastor, Rev. o. r. Cook, an
nounced that inasmuch as the Dawson
dis oensarv would soon be compelled to
seek new quarters. and as several
members of the Methodist church
were owners of buildings in the BUSH
ness section of the city where it would
be possible to locate that institution,
he desired to read the church laws.
He then read from the laws govern.
ing the Methodist church to the effect
that any member who rents or uses or
allows to be used building for the
sale of spirituous liquors, or in any
manner aids in their sale, unless as
an officer or under an order from
court, is guilty of immortality and of an
infraction of the church laws.
The location of the dispensarY has
not yet been definitely decided upon.
The,matter is still one of general inter-
est, and there is no cessation of the
friendly rivalry existing between mer-
chants and owners of store houses to
secure the location of the institution
in their respective portions of the city
on the idea that IL helps business.

PRODDED POKER PLAYERS
JUDGE SHEFFIELD TALKS TO GRAND
JURY ABOUT GAMBLING.
May Term of Superior Court Convened
Monday, DOCkets Are Light and
the Session Will Be Short.

The spring term of Terrell superior
court convened Monday morning at 8
O'Clock, with Judge III. G. Sheffield on
the bench.
The grand Jury was organized with
| Mr.. F. Nasworthy as foreman, Mr.. w.
A. Baldwin clerk and Mr.. Nathan
Cook bailiff.
Judge Sheffield's charge to the grand
Jury covered the statutory grounds,
and was delivered in his usually clear
and vigorous manner. 1t was without
special interest until the subject Of
gambling was reached. At this point
the Judge referred to the fact that at
every term of the court the usual num-
Der of indictments are returned
against negroes for "skinning," but
there are never eny true bills fer
poker playing. 1t is therefore fair to
presume, he declared, that notwith-
standing rumors there are no poker
players in Terrell county or thew
would be indicted, as he is Statistic d
the grand jurors always faith
fully discharge their duties. He spe-
cially charged the present jury that if
there is any poker being played by
anybody anywhere Ia the county those
guilty of it should be indicted just as
promptly as the negro who plays a
five cents skin game.
Civil business has engaged the at
tention of the court since Monday
morning, and this docket will not be
disposed OF until tomorrow, when it is
very probable recess will be taken
until next week. The criminal docket
will then be taken up. There are only
five prisoners in Jail. and the indica-
tions now are that there will not be
much business in this branch of the
court.
MURDER CASE TRIED.
Civil business was temporarily sus-
pended yesterday morning for the trial
of Charlie Harris, who killed Jesse
Bell in Dawson three years ago The
jury returned verdict OF not guilty.
