NEW PROTECTOR
LIBRARY BOARD

1t was determined last night at a
meeting of the library board to ask
the women of Las Vegas to organize
a Women's Library association to aid
in the upbuilding of the public Ii
brery, a work to which women may
with special propriety devote time
and attention.
The mothers and sisters of the boys
and young men, who are growing into
manhood, must recognize the power
full influence of good books in char
acter building. and the effect upon the
after life of the reading habit.
Given two young lads, n of whom
devotes himself to the companionship
of good books, who seeks the infor-
nation which may be cleaned from
the publications in the public librar-
les, who acquaints himself with the
biography of men who have left their
impression upon the world, who has
drawn in the inspiration of great and
active lives, and the lad of loose as
sociations. who rarely reads, who
knows nothing and cares nothing for
TIE better and higher things OF life,
and their life careers can easily be
f~Oreseen.
A well sustained, we'll patronized
public library Is strong evidence Of
an intellectual educated community.
where people Of the best class may
well wish to make their homes. The
Optic bespeaks for this new movement
the earnest support Of the women of
Las Vegas. not only those who have
families. but as well the young ladies
who NAV be greatly benefited by the
public library.
As the meeting is called for 3
O'Clock in the afternoon. a convenient
hour, the attendance should be large,
especially as the invitation Is general
and intended for all Interested In the
upbuilding ofths public library.
As announced on another page. the
ladies of Las Vegas are invited to
meet at the public library building
Tuesday afternoon at . clock. for the
purpose Of organizing a Momen's Ii.
brary association.

IMPROVING
H DUNCAN

Earnest Blood, manager OF the Dun
can opera house OF this city, Is making
some excellent improvements in the
popular play house, which will enable
coming attractions to stage their pro
auctions in a much more pleasing
manner.
Mr., Blood has ordered entirely new
scenery and a new drop curtain for
the Duncan, The new scenery will be
the best obtainable, The stage will
be shut off from the auditorium by a
fire proof asbestos drop, which will
give the audience ample protection in
case OF fire on the stage, until the
opera house Is cleared.
The building Is almost %fireproof,
being constructed entirely OF brown
stone, and there are two large exits
from the auditorium. besides the
stage entrance which enables the
building to be cleared rapidly,
The old stage floor is being orr
out today and ar entirely new floor
will be put In. The failure Of the
George Noble Stock company to fill
their contract for this week gives Mr..
Blood time to make a number OF
needed Improvements. II Is not yet
known when the new scenery will ar.
rive but 1t will not be for several
weeks.
Manager Earnest Blood has a mum.

AN ADVENTUROUS
LIFE IN AFRICA
et3 DoUaLAs AVENUE.

Walter T. Kennedy, the young man
who came to this city from Umtata,
in Cape Colony, South Africa, in search
of health about a week ago., has led
a remarkably adventurous life for a
young American and has seen service
under two flags,
He was born and raised in New
York City and at the outbreak Of the
Spanish-American war enlisted in the
22nd New York volunteers. He was
In the service until the close Of the
war, when he returned to his home.
He ebecame dissatisfied with the
dull routine of life in the nations
great metropolis, and hearing a great
deal Of the opening trade Of the Uni
ted states With South Africa. decided
about six years ago, to go to Capetown
and make his fortune.
He interested himself in several
ventures but at the opening of the
Boer war, his love for military life
overthrow his business plans and he
enlisted in the First Scottish Horse
and later saw service with Bethune's
Mounted Infantry. He was in the
British service only two years but was
in a large number of engagements,
bloody defeats and decisive battles.
He was with the army which re-
lieved Ladysmith from the long siege
and took active part In the many con-
flicts about the beleaguered city. He
was with the British column under
General Dickson, which was attacked
and barely escaped humiliation by
forces under General De LIE Rey at
V~lackfontein. Out Of 1,40O men,
otiiy 900 got back alive.
At the end OF his service he began
ira, cling over the entire settled por-
ton of South Africa. selling Ameri-
can goods to the settlers and trading
with the Kaffirs. At Port st. Johns
he became very Ill and physicians de-
ciied that he had an abcess of the
liver. The abcess finally burst. and
heving eaten its way through the
r'Aurn, filled the pIeural cavity with
pus end he was taken to Umtata for
an operation. which was performed
by DR. Robert Wells, the British sur.
geon and physician for the district
Of Umtata. ana a graduate Of the
University OF Aberdeen in Scotland.
yOne lu4g had become affected
by his serious 0lnes4i and the eminent
surgeon advise the young man to
return to America and go to some
high altitude III the west, to Las We
gas or some point in New Mexico. to
arrest the progress Of the disease and
ave his life.
The young man had heard Of Las
Vegas and Its admirable climate for
persons afflicted with pulmonary
troubles and Immediately resolved to
come here and make It his home.
He sailed from CapetOwn on August
18th and arrived at New York on Oct.
LIST. He made a short visit with a
brother at Cambridge, Mass, and then
left for the west, arriving here on Oct.
29th. He likes Las Vegas and feels
that the climate is going to be very
beneficial to him.
Mr.. Kennedy says that American
trade with South Africa is growing
wonderfully and 1t Is amazing to find
Boer farmers on the veidts, far inland,
using Case. Oliver and other Ameri.
can plows and farming implements,
and many other articles Of American
manufacture.

IN SAFE HARBoR AT LAST.

Thanks to the persistence, deter
mination and perfect mastery of the
subject on the part of Chairman Bur-
ton, the rivers and harbors appro-
priation bill is in safe harbor at last,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
.une. With its passage by the senate.
on the report and recommendation of
the conferees, the fight was practi-
cally won, and of approval by Presi-
dent Roosevelt there was no ques-
tion to be made. But ii was a tight
to a finish in the house, with the
eastern Pennsylvania delegation bit
terly opposing II, with other inter-
ests ready and only waiting opportu-
nifty to kill the whole measure, and
with an opportunity alert, keen and
hostile at all points ready TO take
hold of any opportunity for purposes
of slaughter.
Beyond the slightest possibility OF
successful question being made. and
without derogating in the least from
the active and earnest support of the
friends OF the rivers and harbors bill.
the winning OF the contest is due to
the intelligent fighting qualities of
the chairman Of the committee, Bur
ton. OF Cleveland
The practical recognition OF the
necessity for the nine foot stage and
the certainty OF the completion OF the
survey Of the Ohio go with the win
ming fight. With these two points
gained the advocates of the Ohio
River Improvement may we'll rest
content for the present, for the
shoals have been passed aud there is
certainty for the future. After Chair
man Burton ana the committee, the
highest credit must be accorded TO
the active and intelligent support and
assistance given TO the measure by
the Ohio Valley Improvement Assoc
citation and it's president, former Con-
gresham 5ohn L. Vance. Il Is also a
triumph for Cincinnati in a marked
degree, for the executive committee
OF the Association with the exception
of President Vance, is made up OF
Cincinnati men, determined in ae-
ton and intelligent in river cam
paigning.
In the mesptime, with the coming
of spring. there will come the be-
ginning OF work on the dam at Cul-
Ions Rifle, and with its completion
scheduled for less than four hun
dred working days-the harbor OF
Cincinnati will be what the harbor
ought TO have been many years ago.

MIR. MANSFIELD AS IVAN.

Mr.. Richard Mansfield, in Ivan,
The Terrible" last night pleased one
of the most representative audiences
that ever assembled in The Kentucky
theatre. The play is largely a set
ting for Mr.. Mansfield, the artist,
the genius. Whatever may be said
Of his eccentricities as q man, he is
undoubtedly great actor, and
showed it last night in the difficult
role of Ivan. the czar Of Russia.
There is little plot, and no charac-
ter of importance except that OF the
car. but Mr.. Mansfield has not neg
lected the slightest detail, and the
production is one that those present
last night never saw surpassed on
any stage.
Probably no other actor on the
American stage could make an Grtis-
tic success of the character except
Mansfield; at least not nearly so
much. In the hands of anyone else
the part might have been repulsive
instead of fascinating. The play sim
ply gives the audience an insight in
to the life, habits and nature of the
tyrant Ivan, and owing TO the fact
that his race is almost run when he
Is INTRODUCED to the audience, Ivan
has seemingly lost much of his fierce
yindictiyeness and ineffable cruelty,
and is at times apparently repentant
and remorseful, In fact, when one
gets a glimpse of the kind of men
who surround him and are constant
