The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1905-04-07

The report of the treasurer and
manager of Reynolds Opera House
at the stockholders meeting last
Monday will convey to the friends
and patrons Of the house an item
of interesting Information con-
corning the conduct and success of
this enterprise. Manager Rey-
nolds has been fortunate indeed
with his theatrical ventures and
the amusement loving public of
Union City have enjoyed q very
excellent season of entertainments.
The fact that all the principal
bookings for the season had been
made when the doors of Reynolds
Opera House were thrown open
made the record nothing less than
remarkable. To pay debt Of
81, 800 in a town the size of Union
City and the current expenditures

SILVER SERVICE.

The Nashville Chamber of Com
MERGE is behind a movement that
should meet with the hearty coop.
Grafton and approval of every pa
triotic citizen in the State of Ten
nessee-a movement to get the
State Legislature to make an APP
preparation to supply silver
service for the battleship Ten
nessee. This is in keeping with
the custom followed by States for
which naval vessels are named.
The Legislature of 1901, inspired
by that patriotism that has always
characterized the citizens Of our
State, adopted resolution re.
questing the Secretary of the Navy
to name battleship of the first
class "The Tennessee
In response to this request, and
ia strong public sentiment mani

which it is said will, when com
pleted, be the most effective fight
ing vessel in the world, has been
named Tennessee" She COM

was said by our late lamented Sen
ator Bate, I'm the time of battle
she will always be at the front.
The vessel was launched at the
Cramp Ship Yards in Philadelphia,
on the Sd day of December, 1904;
and in the presence Of Governor
Frazier, his entire staff, and a
large number of distinguished
Tennesseans, was christened ten

been present on a similar occasion
from any other State. 1t will be
about one year from the time the

placement of IA, 500 tons, a speed
of twenty-five knots an hour, and
her engines will be of $4,000
horse power.
The New York Herald, speaking
on the subject, said, that lit is
generally conceded that they (the
Tennessee and the Washington
viii be the finest vessels Of their
class in the world. The cost of
the vessel will be about s., 900, 900.
1t has become a custom for
States for which naval vessels are
named, to present their name sakes
with silver service. The State
of Pennsylvania appropriated $685.

for the Pennsylvania, a similar
ship to the Tennessee in every re-

The State of Tennessee should
not fail to show her interest in the
navy to which she has contributed
so much, and in appropriating
$6, 900, the amount asked for, she
will not only be following a Gus
tom which has been observed by
other States where men DIVA
have been named in their honor,
but will also be placing the cap
stone on the work which has been
under way for four years.

QUEEN ENTERS BUSINESS.
of Holland Making
Money by Selling Milk
and Butter.

'Tis an old story that the kings OF
Bavaria have long derived a very con-
siderable profit from their breW2ries in
Munich. and now. from a neighborins g
corner Of Europe, come the details OF
another instance of royalty in business,
says Success Magazine. Wilhelmlna,
queen of Holland, is making money BY
selling milk and butter.
AS a child Wilhelmina kept chick
ems" She loved them dearly. had pet
names for most of them, fed them to the
queens taste QiterallyD, and. quite in
cidentally, made pocket money out OF
them. With her accession to the throne
the barnyard was forgotten, but perhaps
the royal state has become matter "Of
course" allowing the queenly thoughts
to travel back to the more prosaic pleas
ures of other days.
Whatever the reason. not long ago
Prince Henry bought for his royal Wife
several COWS, which are placed on the
rich land adjoining the palace at Loo.
These prospered so we'll, and their milk
and butter added so much to the de-
lights of the palace table, that the
queen decided to engage in the business
of dairying. The manager of her es-
tates has since visited all of the famous
stock farms Of the country, and has pur-
chased "a of the best cows to be had in
all Holland These have joined their
fellows who led the way in the expert
ment, and dairy products are now on
sale under the palace auspices. for the
venture" has proved far more than
self-supporting.

JUST WHERE NOAH LIVED.
An American Archaeologist Declares
That the Patriarch Was
Millionaire. {

X. I. Mlllard. who now resides in In
dianapolis, has been for several years
studying the archaeology of Egypt.
For the last year, until his recent re-
turn to this country, reports the
Washington Star, he was engaged in
making excavations at various places
on the Nile, especially at Gizeh, in the
neighborhoOd of the great pyramids

not excepting Rameses the Great.
Noah was millionaire. The bibli-
cal account of the food gives no elew
as to where he lived or where his ship
carpenters were at work for 12O years
constructing the ark.
Noah was 600 years old when the
food came. 1t is evident that ha
must have been a millionaire and a
man of great authority. He built the
ark at his own expensee Such boat
in those times would cost more than
100000. He must have been in posi-

for him, regardless Of their interest
in him or in his work, or of their own
personal inclinations.
Noah built the great pyramid dur
ing the earlier part OF the fourth
Egyptian dynasty, and not more than
1900 years after God had expelled
Adam and Eve from the garden Of
Eden. If Noah's size and intellectual
powers were proportioned at his age
to ours. then in brain and Drawn and
stature he, too. must have been a

CHECKS CHICKEN STEALING
Recent Act of Kentucky Legislature
Gives Henroost Raiders the
Scare Of Their Lives.

Louisville, Ky.-"Chicken stealing as
a regular avocation has practically been
abandoned in Louisville" said Lieut.
O'Brien Of the Fourth police district.
thanks to a recent act of the legislature
making the offense punishable with a
penitentiary term, and as result sew
eral hundred negroes and few white
men have been knocked out of an easy
way of making living"
Strange as it may seem, until a year
ago it was almost impossible to raise
chickens in Louisville with any degree OF
success on account OF the activity OF
thieves, who made an easy living by
raiding the hen roosts of the city Scarce
ly day passed when as few as dozen
chickens were stolen, and several ne
groes were known to the police as having
no other trade. The chickens brought
good sums. and many Of the coop-raiders
went so far as to dress the fowls before
taking them to market.
Until the last session OF the legislature.
chicken stealing was only punishable
with fine or workhouse sentence, but
the newly enacted law made the crime a
felony and imposed penitentiary term.
This act broke up the band of chicken
reports of chicken stealing have been
made to the police during the past three
months. AS a result of the law, large
number of the thieves were sent to the
nenitentiary.
