1ae Sweetest Girl in Dixie.

This play, which is billed for the
Howell Theater tonight, ranks with
the best dramas seen here in which
the plot centers about the home.
The play is true to Southern life, and
in the main reflects the hospitality,
kindness, chivalry and gentleness
that exists in the southern heart, yet
is not lacking in fire and spirit when
the occasion demands. The New
burn, On. c. Journal of Nov. Odd:
says:
miss Grayce Burgoyne, who was
Babbie, the Sweetest Girl in Dixie,
made the entire house admire her by
the naturalness of her conception.
Uncle George and Aunt Calline'
made the audience roar with their
negro oddities. They gave fine
representation of the faithful old
negro servant. The other parts were
good aud the play was greatly ell
joyed."

SERIOUS CHARGES.

They are stirring up a nice mess in classic Boston just now. In his speech at the Republican State convention some days ago Senator Lodge said:
 The government of the city of Bos- ton has sunk in the eyes of men to a point of degradation utterly unknown in the annals of the city. The air is heavy with the stories of corruption at the City Hall, of offices sold, of per- centages taken, of loans made to sup- port men in tdleness, of widespread frauds at the ballot box, which should be rigidly investigated and brought to the light of day.
 This is certainly a grave and se- rious indictment of the government spf Q great city. Coming from such high source, made in such 6 public manner. and with such specific direct ness. the charges can neither be ig- nored nor brushed aside by mere de- nial; consequently it is not surprising that District Attorney Moran has sum moned the Senator to appear before him and tell what he knows about the matters of which he spoke SC pub licly and so positively
 As will be observed, the rharges of Mir. Lodge are of very serious nature, and it is not reasonable to suppose that man of his standing would have made them without foundation. If he goes on the stand he can hardly deny the language attributed to him nor do we see how he can excuse him self by claiming that the language was used in the heat of political ds- bate. for that would not excuse stnle- ments of such nature. On the other hand. if he can substantiate his accu- sations it will come very near putting Boston in the class with Philadelphia and some of the other bad cities. How ever 1t may end, it Is pretty certain to stir up a very unpleasant odor.
