VAUDEVILLE.

Those who have enjoyed the head.
 line act of the Colby Family at the
 Jacques this week and those who
 have that pleasure yet in antlcipa- tion will be interested in learning the way their sketches are put together
 Both MT and Mrs Colby have nat ural taste for stage work and their extended experience has given a pretty accurate conception of what pleases the public in the way of vo- cal and Instrumental music. With a definite idea of the result they al- ways aim at in these sketches, the pleasure of their patrons, they first plan out a dramatic frame work and then fit in such musical numbers as will best serve to show all of the members of the family to the best advantage in both solo and concert ed numbers As both the father and the mother have the gift of compo- sition as well as of melody, they of ten find 1t more desirable to use their own musical numbers and the suc- cess of their own compositions has fully justified their reliance upon them. Having thus planned out their sketch they spare neither time or trouble to realize the fullest possibilities it offers for either dram atic or musical treatment, and both their children share earnestly In the study and stage practice demanded to secure the best results. One thing is always insisted upon by all the family, and that is that every word either spoken or sung by any of its members shall be distinct and intel liEible to every one in the audience, The results gained certainly show the wisdom Of the care. There is only one word to characterize the other acts on the bill and that is great" The playcard contains .he we'll known favorites. Eddie Girard and Jessie Gardner. Keno, Walsh and Melrcse, Rogers and Deeley, William Inman and company, Irving Jones. Cavana and an extremely interesting set of pictures.

MAY SLEEP IN PEACE.
No More Hazing by Trinity Sopho.
 mores at Hartford.

At meeting of the sophomore class at Trinity held yesterday noon it was voted that the class abolish hazing. Henceforth the freshmen may sleep in peace. for no maraud- ing sophomore will drag him from his couch at midnight and order him to scramble like an egg or command him to wrestle with his sins. There was in reality not much necessity for such official action on the part of the sophomores. for all the hazing that ever occurs at Trinity consists in making particularly obnoxious fresh men do what is commonly known as fool stunts" But the class has put itself on record as opposed to any such performances. and is receiving from the upper-class men much com mendatlon for its action.

OPINION RENDERED
BY SUPREME COURT
That Tribunal Decides Sandy
Bayou Case Adverse to the
Governors Contention

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 23.-The de.
cision Of the Supreme Court last eve
ming in the litigation between the
governor and the prison board Of con
Cr0l, puts final end to the celebrated
controversy. Regardless OF what pub
lie opinion may be concerning the rel
ative merits OF the three opinions
read, it is a certainty that the COVER
ernor Is eStopped from further inter-
ferance with the acts Of the board Of
control by resort to the courts, and
the affairs of the penitentiary cannot
be governed by the injunction process.
In several respects the disposal OF
the litigation is without a precedent
in the history Of Jurisprudence in this
state. The three opinions read were
of remarkable length, four hours being
consumed in their delivery. Chief
Justice Whitfield did not conclude
his reading until O'Clock, the court
having convened at 3, and his audi
ence was exceeding small when the
last page was reached, us compared
with the crowd that filled the court
AOOhl "iiCu UuO uiSU OplulOll WIS TCll-
dered. The court did not attempt to
dispose Of any other cases curing the
sitting, the entire afternoon being de-
voted te the Sandy Bayou matter.
The three judges reached varying
conclusions, this, of course, being i'll
evitable, where three opinions were
read. The main point, however, at
least, the point that caused the re-
versal OF tn, decision OF Chancellor
MayeS and the dismissal of the injunc-
don bill, was the right of the Cover
nor to institute legal proceeding in |
tne name OF the State, thus uSurping
the function Of the attorney general. |
Justice Calhoun read one OF the |
aoleSt opinions on this point ever de-
llvered in the Mississippi Supreme
Court. The logic contained therein
was backed up by citations FROM in
au horities. Chief Justice
whitfield, in his dissenting opinion,
defended the right Of the governor to
assume the role of d law Officer.

died very shortly after.
Mrs. Vaught verified this statement
or Tillie's, saying that everything had
transpired just as the little medium
said.
When asked by Mrs. Vaught what
this message was, Tillie replied that
Mr.. Vaught had buried some money
and that she, TIllie, would lead her to
where the treasure is buried. She
described the spot where the money is
claimed to be buried and described
the surroundings perfectly. Mrs.
Vaught at once recognized the place
and said the mediums description is
perfect When asked IL she would 90

Vaught replied that she would 60 as
soon as the roads were i'm better con-

supposed to be buried being out in

known she has had a great many to
call on her and ask question, among
the questiOners being Mr.. Cox, the
half brother of Mr.. Horton who was
Killed recently at Dunlieth. After
stating how he was killed, ETC., she
said the murderer was in the city OF
Memphis.
In conversation with the little me. |
dium, she told us that her powers as a
medium were first discovered when she |
was but four years old, while living in
the country. She said that her father
was medium and during his life for

power. She is now thirteen years of !

A LITTLE NEGRESS
STARTLES COMMUNITY
Said to Possess Wonderful Power.
As Medium...TeIIs Where
Treasure Is Buried

Tile, little colored girl, is now
being talked about by all Greenville
who have heard Of her remarkable
powers as a Spiritualist medium. She
has been in the city only few months,
coming here from the country near
Fall Back, Miss, in Bolivar county.
From slow working negreSs about
the house, hardly worth her keeping.
she has become a prominent figure in
sensational events, and will, if her
powers stand the supreme test, be-
come one of the most remarkable per-
SOnageS in the State or South.
How she came into notice was in
this way: Being employed by Mrs.
Vaught as a house girl on Kinds street,
and while she and the cook were sit
ting in the kitchen, she remarked to
the cook that there were spirits in the
room. If the cook saw them she did
not recognize them, for she hurriedly
made her exist out of the back door.
at the same time calling at the top OF
her voice for Mrs. Vaught.
When Mrs. Vaught got to the kitch.
Ell she asked what was the matter
and the old cook out in the yard told
her that the little girl was crazy for
she claimed she saw ''Sperits in de kit
chin. " Mrs. Vaught then asked Tillie
what she meant and she replied that
it was true: she did see them and saw
them just as plainly as she could see
her mistress
Mrs. Vaught laughed, for not be-
lieving. in spirits, it did not frighten
or worry her in he least. But she de-
cided to try Tillie and carrying her to
her room. she had her call up the
spirits OF the departed she desired to
converse with, and for over an hour
the little coon medium carried on a |
regular Sceance. Her statements |
about persons and scenes which Oc.
Cured before she was born were true
and surprised all in the house. and
question after question were put to !
her which she answered readily.
The little medium told Mrs. Vauyht
that when her husband died the had
to tell her, but did not be-
