NEW YEARS DAY AMUSEMENT

The most notable musical comedy
attraction of the season will doubtless
prove the appearance here on New
Years day at the Salt Lake theatre,
of the Cohan and Harris comedians,
an organization which has won dis
tinction for the even excellence of its
performances, the completeness and
beauty of its productions, and its
splendid ensembles and casts. This
notable organization will present here
George M. Cohan's most successful
musical play, George Washington,
Jr.," which for the past two years
has proved of sufficient merit to re-
main in New York, Chicago, Boston,
and few of the principal cities
where it enjoyed long runs. Its not
able engagement at the Herald Square
theatre in New York, for several
months and for half season at the
Colonial theatre in Chicago places it
in the front ranks of successful musi-
cal productions. Like all of Conan
plays, George Washington, Jr.,"
contains all the elements and features
that have done so much to almost
revolutionize musical comedy in this
country. 1t has a well-defined dra-
matte story, incidents which might
seriously be called melo-dramatic
farce, and comedy to say nothing of
the nine musical numbers all consist
emily introduced to help in the de-
velopment of the story. Several of
these Cohan songs have obtained
wide popularity and have been whist
led and sang by half the universe,
notably "It's A Grand Old Flag"
Virginia" Gle Was A Wonderful
Man." eff Washington Should Come
to Life" "I1l Be There With Bells
On" "The Wedding of the Blue and
the Gray" and others. All the music
is semi-patriotic, but all of it is live
ly, bright and catchy. The company
presenting the play is a large one,
containing an attractive chorus.

MISUSED MONEY.

1t is good thing to have giants
strength, but cruel thing to use it
like a giant 1t is also splendid con-
dition to be in to have abundant
wealth, but having it oftener than
otherwise seems but to develop the
latent meanness, presumption and ar
rogance of the possessor. 1t remains

fact bsysnd savil that in many
cases the Lord shows his opinion OF
wealth by the men He gives it 10.
Large sums of money in proper
hands are essential to the welfare and
progress OF a community. All are
not capable of disbursing any more
than they are of acquiring means; but
contingencies are always rising, events
are ever taking place, which make
the presence of the great getter
and judicious disburscr a matter of
inestimable value. No educated per-
son, at least none whose mind is we'll
poised and whose heart is in the
right place, looks upon the rich man
with any degree of resentment or
envy because of his riches alone; but
such people have right to and mos,
of them do look with disfavor upon
the one who makes of his possessions
the means whereby arrogance is fed,
vulgar display is engaged in or i'm
proper ends accomplished.
In this city is newspaper whose
chief title to the name is the last
part of it, its columns contain so little
that is edifying or pleasurable, while
its comments on whatever topic are
so pointless, so devoid of healthful
vigor, brightness or suggetlon that
the reading is provocative of brain
fag. 1t is able TO appear every morn
ing, not because it is meritorious and
thereby sought for and upheld, but
for the sole reason that its owner can
pay the bills and evidently wants it
just as it is. The insolence of wealth
is finely illustrated. Suppose the pow
er behind the paper were welded to
the end of making it in every respect
a model of its class, bright, incisive,
earnest and, above all, honest, in
stead of being dull, inapt, out of tune
with its surroundings, and seldom an
mated except when malicious, what
a boon it would be and how nobly
would the money be spent!

Of this amount. however, all but less

to the State capitol building, in
creased appropriations for the educa-
tioDal institutions and many other
purposes, the State had cash balance
on hand October /, 1906, of more
than 100000, showing with what
care and accuracy her financial affairs
are being managed. This year (19O7)
the revenues of the State will be
much larger than at any time in her
history and there will be no drain on
the treasury like that of the last year,
when many emergency calls were
needed and the States money spent
lavishly.
1t is the belief of men familiar
with the affairs of the State that
within year or two the tax rate can
be considerably lowered and the
revenues still further increased, the
corporations paying more now than
since the "cbarter mill" began TO
operate. The State is in better condi-
ton at this time than she has been
during the last City years.

ELOQUENT TRIBUTE.
CFrom Accomac News.)


By the hand of the snow-wbite
Angel Of Death, another name has
been stricken from the roll of the
living; another victim has been'
claimed by the grave; another from
the cares and sufferings of this earth
has gone to his. reward. This oc-.
Cured when Mr.. Walter z. Gresham
departed this life on the morning of
Nov. 22nd, 1906, at Portsmoutb, Va.
where he had been residing for The
past two years. The sad news of
his death has been received with the
deepest regret, and has cast gloom
upon all those who knew him, and
especially have the hearts of those
who knew him intimately been
pierced with great sorrow. Mr..
Gresham comes from one of the
noblest ancestries Of the State, and
was born and reared in Lancaster
county, Va. He came to Accomac
county several years ago, and until
January, 1905, resided near Marsh
Market, Va. Shortly after coming
to Accomac, he was appointed
teacher at Copes' public school, and
1T was the general opinion of his
pupils and patrons that a more eff
ficient teacher could not have been
secured.
Agreeableness is one of the FORE
most factors of successful teacher.
This being one Of Mr.. Gresham's
characteristics, he ewon the admira-
tion of his pupils, and it gained for
him the love and esteem of the
patrons of that school as we'll. In
the school.room be made himself one
OF us, and would never resort to those
things which would have a tendency
to provoke under his command.
We never had any hesitancy in ap-
preaching him with our troubles,
and asking his assistance in the
school-room. knowing that he wa.
always ready and willing to aid us
and help to share our burdens, as stu.
dents. 1t was always his desire thai
we, as pupils, s,shoud not withhold oul
opinion or views on any particula,
subject pertaining to our studies
even though his did not coincide
with ours. This was a link which
drew us closer together, and aroused
within us the spirit of love and de.
votion for him. Nor did this admir-.
alton for him abate when he dis
continued teaching at Copes' to en-,
gage in other business, but he enjoyed
it until the 22nd day of November
1906, when the finger of death
