GEN. LEW WALLACE'S RO-
NANCE, "BEN-HUR."
Again to be staged in Baltimore

Baltimore is to have another "Ben-
Hur' season. General Wallace's in
spring tale of the Christ so stupendously
staged by the Klaw d Erlanger company
is to fill the week of Nov. 4th at the
Academy Of Music In addition to the
six evening performances matinee will be
given on Wednesday and Saturday.
'Ben-Hur' with its lustrous Star of
Bethlehem, its camels, Arabian steeds,
Oriental trappery, and mimic splendor of
the gorgeous East is beyond dispute
the most elaborate spectacle ever staged in
the history of the world. It's series of II
scenes present to the eyea feast of multifari-
Gus beauty and variety, all set to a symphonic
accompaniment of graceful music. The
exciting episodes, such as the galley scene
with its horde of chained slaves; the sea-
fight, the rescue in mid-sea and the thrill
ing race with three chariots and twelve
horses, combined with the picturesque
scenes illustrating the Wise Men in the
desert, the moonlit lake in the Orchard of
Palms where Ben-IIur and Iris enjoy
seclusion and make love in Iris's barge,
the palmwaving worshippers on Mount
Olivet, and the Grove Of Daphne with its
nymphs dancing in the skins of beasts to
the music of kissing cymbals simply capti-
vate audiences where it is enacted.
"Ben Hur' appeals to all classes, all
ages and all denominations ofthe Christian
faith. and draws to it, as to a place of
worship, hundreds of thousands who seldom,
if ever, set foot within a theatre. The
person of the Saviour is never made to
appear bodily in the play, yet in the
scene in which the healing of the lepers
is implied the approach of the Master is
Indicated by stream ofpure white light,
amazing in its effectiveness. This scene
This scene is the most remarkable of
the play and is heightened in impressive
ness by the singing of chorus of one
hundred voices, joining in ''Hosannas'
of praise to the Lord.
The seat sale for "Ben-Hur'' will
open Thursday, Oct 81. Mail orders with
remittance will be promptly attended to
when accompanied by remittance The
scale of prices range from fifty cents to two
dollars. All communications should be
addressed to Mgr. Academy of Music,

Mudd and the Negroes.
From the Baltimore aun,

For long period back the 60, 900
negro voters Of Maryland have been a
great menace to the people of this State.
1t seems to me that today, and particularly
in the pending State election, that menace
is more serious and alarming than ever.
This is due to the evolution of Sydney E.
Mudd as the State boss Of the Republican
party. Mudd's undisputed leadership of
the Republicans of the State and of their
party organization is the most striking de-
velopment of our present politics. Mudd
is the boss-the big boss-whose word is
command and whose will is law
Where, then, does Mudd get his
strength? His power is built upon the
negroes. His strength is the negro
strength His domination is negro dom
ination. Ninety per cent. of his supporters
are negroes. Herules the Republican party
and the negroes necessarily rule him.
All that he is and all that he has politi-
cally spring and flow from the negro.
The success of the Republican party
means the domination of Mudd over Mary
land; and the domination of Mudd is the
domination of the negro. Never before
was the negro issue so threateningly pre-
sented as in this election. Mudd's strong
hold is the "black belt," and his strength
is the" "black vote. His mastery over the
Republican party presents the negro issue
as distinctly and seriously in this cam
paign in Maryland as it ever was presented
in South Carolina, whose "black belt
is no blacker than the 'black belt" of
Maryland, which is the source, foundation
and substance of Mudds power, and
whose negroes are his boss and through him
the boss of the Republican party.
IF the Republicans win this election,
these same negroes will be the boss of
Maryland.
Will the white people take notice?

A Rare Epitaph.

The following epitaph oommemorating
what would nowadays be called a 'stren-
uous" career is taken from Lady Nu-
gents Journal, Jamaica, 100 years ago:
Here lies the body of
LEWIS GALDY, ESQ,
who departed this life at Port Royal,
the 22d of December, 1889, aged 80.
He was born at Montpelier in France,
But he left that country for his religion,
and came to settle in this Island, where he
was swallowed up in the great Earthquake,
in the Year 1892.
And by the Providence of God, was by
another Shock
thrown into the Sea, and miraculously
saved by swimming until Boat took him
up. He lived many years after in great
Reputation, beloved by all who knew him,
and much lamented at his Death.

Wanted it Tested.

A Denver grocer says that, the other
day, big negro woman entered his store
and asked for rolling pin. She was
shown one. After inspecting it closely she
handed it back to the grocer.
"Mistah," the said, "Ah wisht you'd
take this heah rollin pin an beat it ovah
that sack of potatoes back yondah few
times.
The grocer was surprised. "Beat it
over a sack of potatoes?' he replied,
"What for?''
"Well," came from the negro woman,
"Ah sometimes has to use ma rollin' pin
on suhtin' man whot calls hisse'f ma
lohd an mastah an All jes wanted to be
sho' All wus gitin' one that kin stan
bein' used as weepin now an then.
