THE BAT ST. LOUIS STAGE.


| saThe Fatal Wedding" said to be the
strongest play of heart interest ever
written, viii be produced at the Osoi-
mach Opera House on next Thursday
night, May 10th, by the Lynwood Stock
Company, composed Of former members
of the Baldwin-Melville and Lyric COM
panies that have been playing in New
Orleans the past season.
No play ever produced has been such
record breaker both in stock and on
the road as ssThe Fatal Wedding" In
fact, it is claimed that this play is the
biggest money maker that ever went out
of New York, in which city it had a
phenomenal run Of over two years.
When it was first sent on the road the
success was so great that it was found
necessary to organize several companies
and for two seasons there were as many
as eight companies touring the country
in ''The Fatal Wedding" A like sue
cess attended the production in England
and Australia.
The central figure in the play is a
little child known as ''The Little Moth
er." The part is a heavy one for child
and it is customary to carry two chill
dren that they may alternate with each
other. There are number of thrilling
scenes in the play, notably, the great
church scene, the interrupted marriage
and the flight in mid-air by means of a
rope over the Palisades. There is plen-
ty of comedy also to please those who
like to laugh. Little Sarah Shields, who
has been playing with the Baldwin Mel
vile Stock Company for the past three
seasons and who made pronounced hit
there as ''The Little Mother" will be
seen in the same role here. The New
Orleans Picayune, commenting on the
little ones performance says: "Little
Sarah Shields the always clever little
one, carries the role of Little Mother all
through the play and was clearly the hit
of the show as the applause signihed and
as the real art of the child commanded.
The Lynwood Company is said to be
an excellent one throughout and will no
doubt meet with liberal patronage on
the occasion of their appearance in this
city ne~t Thursday night. The engage
ment is for next Thursday night.

ga Husband on Salary" the play ad-
vertised at Osoinach's Opera House for
Friday and Saturday night OF this week
has been postponed to Monday and Tues
day night of next week, May 10th and
21st, when this great comedy will posi-
lively be presented by an exceptionally
strong cast, including Mr.. Edw. G. Stew
art, of the Chicago theatres, and Mr.. Ed
Faher of the Lyric Stock Co., New Or
leans. AS stated before in these col
umns, "a Husband on Salary" is a
screaming comedy, entirely different
from an comedy ever presented here and
one that never fails to please all classes.
1t is full of comedy from start to finish,
comic situations follow one another
during the entire play. It has become
so popular that no further need be said
of it beyond this, that it literally bub-
bles oyer with bright and clean fun.
Remember the date: Monday and Tues
day, May 20 and 81. Reserved seats IS

DIscREDITING LINCOLN.

Only a few days ago--on last Tues day. to be exact--the people all over the North were celebrating with ap- propriate ceremonies and words of praise and devotion the centennial an- niversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. We have no fault to find with them for that, but many of them forget some things that are not yet hoary with age. The Republican platform of 1860 declared among other things that Ito maintain inviolate the rights of the States to order and con- trol under the Constitution their own affairs by their own judgment ex- clusively is essential for the preser- vation of that balance of power on which our institutions rest"
 That is the doctrine which MT. Lin- coin endorsed by accepting the nomi- nation on a platform of which that doctrine was an essential part. MT. Choate recently declared that the doctrine so positively and uuequivo- cally enunciated lis just as true to day as if was then and he is correct The Constitution of the United States Is not a thing which must grow and develop like child. It Is not an in. strument that can be taken from or added to by Congress or President. It Is not temporary declsration which may be changed to suit the whims or caprices of each new poIi- tician who finds himself strutting his brief hour on the stage and thinking himself new Daniel come to judg- ment. It is a guide and guard pre- pared by patriot statesmen for all time.
 And yet among those who were celebrating the birthday of Lincoln were to be found statesmen who are doing all in their power to discredlt him and to give the lie to the senti- ments held and endorsed by him. Were they forgetful. ungrateful or hypocriticall. They have evidently forgotten or else care nothing for the man they laud so highly.

SOUTHERN GOLD MINING.

Mir. c. o. Bartlett, of Cleveland 0. writing to The Manufacturers Record, about gold mining in the South says: "If the writer is not mistaken, gold was found and mined In paying quantities in this section many years before it was discovered in the West"
 The Record well says that Mir. Bart lett was correct in his belief, and we also know that he was not mistaken. At Goldvllle, in Tallapoosa County, at Arbacooche. in Randolph, and at oth- CT places in Alabama, gold was p~cfit- ably mined. The mines around Dah- lanega, Georgia. were famous through ont the country. Tn Cabarras county. North Carolina. if our memory serves, a lump was found long before the California discovery which weighed twenty eight pounds avoirdupois, as we now remember it.
 The remarkable finds of gold In Cal ifarnia and afterwards In many other sections in the West practically put an end to mining for the precious metal In Alabama. The wonderful stories and the great rush of '49 are remem- bered by many who are yet living. and since then the business has been at lew ebb in this State That there is much gold in Alabama Is be- yond doubt, but there is but little minig done as a business. although some gold is produced every year.

sturms's oklahoma tinsasine has n interesting article by charies IL Rsed On Green Mccurtain. who enjoys the distinction of being "the last Chief of the choctaws,v ana as the choc- taws were Alabamians before the white race drove them out some in. terest attaches to the last man who held the position of Chief of that Na- tion before tribal relations were aboi- ished.
 The choctaw tribe formed part of the great Creek or Muskogee Confed- eracy which at one time dominated most of what is now Alabama as well as portions of the adjoining States. Among the tribes forming this confederacy--the Creeks. Cherokees. Seminoles. Chicasas. Choctaws and others--the last named tribe occupied prominent position. Their territory comprised much of what is now Southwest Alabama and Southeast Mississippi. Tn their best days they were a formidable people and some of their leaders were among the most powerful of the natives of this region. The celebrated chief, Pushmataha, who died while on visit to Washington In 1924. was as fine specimen of the Indian race as ever lived in this por- ton of the country.
 Tn 1880 the Choctaws were removed West of the Mississippi and were To- cated In Indian Territory. where Me- Curtain was born. nearly sixty years ago. His father was slave-hoIder. as were many other Indians of that day. and young Greens boyhood days were spent in the happy manner that might be expected af young Indian under such surroundings. He was too young tc take part in the war between the States. and after that was over. with the slaves freed and the plantation ruined he seems to have had a pretty hard time but he managed to obtain a fairly good edu- cation, and soon showed that he was man of force and talent.
 As early as 1872 he was elected sher- if of the county in which he resided He held various other important posi- tions, and in 1896 was elected Chief of the choctaw Nation, which position he held when tribal relations were abol- ised among the Indians of the Terri tory. At least the process of dissolv- ing these relations is oing on, and as the ofice of chief will then end MT. Mccurtain will enjoy the distinction of being the last chief of his nation. His usefulness to his country and his people will not cease however. and 1t is not unlikely that he will hold im- portant positions in the new State.
