Musical Comedy Put On by Lo-
Cal Talent Last Night was
Most Successful. !,
A LARGE CROWD attended
STARS WERE ESPECIALLY GOOD
AND THEIR SUPPORT WAS Ex-
cELLENT-WiLLe BE REPEATED
TONIGHT.

1t has been once more demonstrat-
ed that Richmond can boast of the
best dramatic talent in the state. In
The Purple Prince" which was pre-
sented in this city for the first time
last evening at the Gennett Theatre
the successes of 'Pinafore" and the
First Lieutenant" produced by
home talent last year, was repeated.
The audience was a splendid one and
expressed it's enthusiasm on the
slightest provocation. Another large
audience is assured for tonight.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
large part of The Purple Prince"
cast made their limelight debut last
evening. the usual akwardness and
stage fright common to amateurs was
completely absent and the show from
start to finish went off without a
hitch.
Miss Graves Captivating.
Miss Catherine Graves in the role
of 'Fadetta" presented her part in a
most captivating manner. She acted
with a dash and sang her lyrics in a
difficult parts was that of Jack Tar
which was taken by a well known
Marion young lady who appeared on
the program under the stage name of
Carmeleta. Despite her boys disguise
she acted her part in most infecai-
Gus feminine manner and the only
ones deceived were her fellow mem
bers of the cast-and they had to be,
because the plot of the play would
have been destroyed otherwise. The
program did not prevaricate when it
described Carmeleta as "a red cherry

Howard kamp Made a Hit.
L Mr.. Howard Kamp was one of the
big hits of the evening. He took the
part of "Bo Peep" an antiquated

be said that Mr.. Kamp practiced any

Chicago, June 1.-THE Chicago
Commercial Association has named
Charles l.. Hutchinson or the Corn
Exchange Bank, Bishop Muldoon of
the Catholic Diocese of Chicago. Wal
ter Fitch, president of the Board of
Trade, Rollin A. Keys, a wholesale
grocer and Mason B. Starring, gener-
al manager of the Chicago City Rail-
way company, to investigate the Chi
cago stock yards and packing houses
in order to find out the truth OF the
conditions in Packingtown.
In an attempt to obtain first hand
information about Chicago packing
house conditions, S. Guthman of Ber-
lin, Germany, who admitted to a rep
resentative of the Publishers Press
Association that he is a correspond
ent ofthe Berliner Tageblatt, one of
the foremost newspapers of Ger
many. has begun an investigation of
packingtown. Germany has practical
ly forbidden the importation of
American meat.
After spending several hours Mon
day In largest and most famous
plants at the yards, Gutham declared
that he did not believe that proper
regulations prevail.
Evidence Of Fresh Paint.
"In the fact of the recent investi-
cation" he said. "the packers are ev-
identity making a weak kneed attempt
to pull wool over the eyest of visit
ors who go through their places.
There is what appears to be lot
of fresh paint smeared about the
walls. the ceilings are freshly white
washed In instances and plenty of
nice clean saw dust is everywhere on
the floors. But in the corners of some
of the rooms there remain cobwebs
that have escaped the brushes of
those who may have been working
! night and day to get things into good
order.

down before 1t got to the automatic
wheel on which the hogs are caught
before being taken into the killing
pen. The hog may have been all
right and 1t may have been weak OF
sick. A little later saw a govern.
ment inspector approve hogs just
killed run along on a tramway and
this hog must have been among
them. In Germany that hog would
surely have been reinspected before
being allowed to go to the killing
pen.
Vat of Dirty Lard Used.
81 saw vat of lard that workman
claimed was dirty lard. There was
some small pieces of wood in it. Yet
he had taken a paddle from it ant
put 1t into a bucket of lard that was
evidently to be sent out as a pure
product.

Those "Inch" Editors.

Governor Broward has been criti-
cised because Of his utterances in the
Jacksonville Sun that I'VE are afict-
ed with sprinklng of editors who
sell editorials at 50 much an inch,
with sentiments thrown in"
We have no doubt in the world of
the correctness of the governor'sstate-
ment
In the first place he has recently
had large experience as a candidate.
AS such he came in contact with many
newspaper men; he ought to know
whereof he affirms and we have no
idea that he deliberately lied about
it.
Again. into every honorable voca-
ton, profession and society on earth,
unworthy men seek and gain admis-
sion and we have no idea that the pro-
fesion of journalism forms an excep-
ton to the rule. Why it is only the
other day that the newspapers report
ed that a popular preacher in Georgia
had run away with his neighbours wife,
The ministry, the churches, the ma
sonic lodges, and in fact all noble in
stitutions and professions have their
proportion of unworthy members and
doubtless many a worthless man has
his name at the head of a newspaper
column as editor"
We should feel sorry were it other
wise, because every article of genu-
inc merit on earth is counterfeited. We
have counterfeit gold, silver, pearl,
diamond and rubies. The discovery
of counterfeit proves the existence
OF the genuine. Hence the discovery
OF worthless, counterfeit editors only
proves that there are many who are
sterling gold.-Jaspes News.

CHURCH HATREDS.

Like the fires of volcano that have
been exhausted. the fires of hate that
have marred end blackened the his
tory of all religions have about burned
out and scarcely the embers now re-
I main, but occasionally a word of in
tolerance is hurled against the Mother
! Church
Why should this be so? Why should
we feel unkind towards it? During
the long and dismal period known as
the "Da,k Ages" it kept the faith-it
/ preserved the records-it fought the
fight an1 it Won the race. Had it lost
/ its zeal: had il wavered in its faith;
had it allowed itself TO become con-
taminated with other religions. who
/ believes that the birth of the Child Of
Bethlehem would now be celebrated
IN all pats of sne world as it has been
! for the past week?
| In a pulpit IN this city we recently
heard an eminent divine execrate this
church for its superstitions, yet what
are its superstitions?
1t believes in the story of creation
| as given in the Pentateuch; it believes
in the story of the Babe of Bethlehem;
it believes in the story of the Resur-
rection and the Ascension; it believes
in the story of the Atonement; it be-
lieves in the story of Rewards and
Punishments; there is nothing indeed,
in the story Of the Christ that it dis
believes.
Its methods of government and its
| measure of success are the most Won
derful in the world. No other organi-
Zation, secular or religious, approaches
it. 1t almost has the appearance of
being directed by the divine banda

Macaulay's observations along these
lines are in point. They are copvinc-
ingly and most attractively stated.
In every civilized city in the world
and many that are uncivilized, through
its Sisters of Mercy, the touch of this

Will Continue the Fight on the Buck
man Bill.

The decision does not prevent fur
tner litigation. Injunctions or other
processes of law can be instituted and
prosecuted in the state courts and can
be carried to the United States Su-
preme court, as there is a federal
question involved. We understand
that no appeal can be taken, however,
from the recent decision to the United
states Supreme Court. We understand
that this is on account of the fact that
the recent suit was entirely in the
hands of the Attorney General Lake

courts, and the litigation on the mat
ters involved has only begun. The
people of Lake City are determined to

The Mississippi statesman read his
titles clear 10 the charge we bring
against him as d small, biased un-
just man, in his action against Messrs
Lamar and Shackleford
1t was small because he used the
power vested IN him by mis- party to
punish two of his party whose views
were not his views on mater of. par
ty policy.
1t was biased because he was un-
able to see merit in the view taken by
Lamar and Shackleford on the rate
regulation question, when that view
was not his view. although thA view
of Lamar and Shackleford has become
the view of a majority of congress
men.
The action was unjust. because Mr..
Williams accused the two gentlemen
of breaking the rule of a democratic
caucus, when Mr. Lamar proved clear
ly that no caucus had been called on
the rate regulation question when the
rule was made. on the contrary, the
meeting was held for the purpose Of
considering a matter personal to Mr..
Williams-the question OF his resig-
nation of his leadership.
Mr.. Lamar did perfectly ~Isht u pro-
test against the unjust action of this
discredited leader, and the proper time
to do j. was the very first time he had
a chance.
As to the Williams remark that
democratic dirty linen should net be
washed in presence, Of republicans
this comes under the head of bun
comb. and belongs on the list of high
sounding but cheap clap-trap used by
persons short on logic and long on
wind.

ticular about the place of the cleans
ing; let's be sure that the washing is
done promptly and well.

THE ocALA BANNER FOR 1906.
The ocala Banner Will celebrate it

The Ocala Banner Will celebrate its
fortieth anniversary this year.
No paper in Florida has lived so
long with the exception of the Union
part of the Tines Union. and it has
changed ownership many times.
The Ocala Banner has outlived all
the other business industries that
were in Ocala when it entered upon its
career.
There is not merchant doing bust
ness here now that was doing bust
ness here then. There is not a profess
sional man here now that was here
then. Indeed, the Ocala Banner is the
only enterprise now living that was
doing business in Ocala in 1866. 1t
has absorbed and buried many rivals
and has seen many changes and trans
itions.
We are pleased to say that the New
Year finds the Ocala Banner in bet
ter shape than it has ever been before.
It is now in position to promise
its readers a better paper in all res
poets than it has ever before printed
and it will use its most strenuous
efforts to make this promise good. 1t
has just installed a Mergenthaler type
setting machine of the latest make,
with many Of the newest attachments,
and is capable of turning out all man
ner of job printing. such as books
pamphlets, briefs, etc., expediously
and it hopes its friends will bear this
in mind.
1t has also lot of the latest faces
of job type and is in position to do
the most difficult styles of job printing
in the most artistic manner and hopes

I BRoADSIDE IN DE-
TENSE OF LAMAR.
Editor L'Enee, of the Jacksonville
Sun, Praises Lamar and Scores
John Sharp Williams.

We have had choice selection of
news and comment on the Lamar Will
liams row in the national house of rep
resentaives, for our mental grazing,
and we have absorbed about all the
facts in the case and the comments
thereon.
We are fully aware OF the fact that
our opinion of John Sharp Williams
Will not have any effect on the politi-
cal fortunes Of Congressman Williams
and would have kept it screened from
the public gaze if the remarkable per-
formances Of the gentlemen had not
reached across the Florida border and
touched the people of Florida through
one Of their servants now doing duty
in congress.
Because he has done this, we now
give utterance to the opinion we form
ed sometime ago, and pronounce the
gentleman from Mississippi an incom-
petent leader; a compromising, easy
going, power worshiping democrat;
and a small, biased, unjust man.
He stood convicted of all three
counts i'll our indictment against him
when he left Mr.. Lamar and Mr..
Shackleford off the Interstate Com
merce Committee because these two
gentlemen did not agree with him last
season on the rate regulation ques-
ton.
