PAiNE's COPPER LETTER.

Especial Wire to Duey & Overlock)
 March 2.y1s0I BOSTON-Today was the dullest market we have had for many months. There was no change worthy of men tion in the whole list and transac- tions were few and far between. The high priced dividend payers seem to be getting a little short Quincy, Wolverine Tamarack and Osceola showed slight recessions with no de- mand.
 Since the Rockefeller gift to educa- tion it ought to be easy for an enter prising college president to elongate one of Mir. Carnegie's lower limbs.

Black Pain Treuhad.ur.

The best aggregation of sing. CTS, dancers and comedians in the country will be the attraction at the opera house December 2nd. On this occasion the world-fam- ous Black Patti TrOubadours will be seen in one of the best shows it has ever presented, excelling all of it's prevous high standsrd. In Prince Bongaboo" "The Bohemian Girl" and the interpol- ated vaudeville ollie will be found more real, genuine song, dance and fun qualities than are to be found in the average Broadway, New York $2 a seat musical com. edy, or the most pretentious min strel show. When it comes to a question of singing, dancing and laughing, a theatre patron can al ways get square deal at a Black Patti Show. The Troubadours are all natural. born singers, dan- cers and none of it's comic men

Daniel Boone

Something out of the ordinary is promised our theatre goers when the Daniel Boone on the Trail' company visits our city at the opera house next Saturday. Nearly everyone is familiar with the history of the famous pioneer and know of his many exciting experiences, all of which are presented in a realistic manner by this company. To properly present this play, real wolves, bears and Indians are carried by the company which will be seen on the streets the day of the show. The company numbers over 20 people, all artists, and there will also be several clever specielties. One of the most ex- citing climaxes of the bill is when Daniel Boone has a fight with the ferocious wolves in order t, save his daughter who is thrown into their den by the Indians: this feature alone is worth more than the small admission price.

Tuscaloosa August Especial )-The prohibition or dispensary question is conl- ing in for a great deal of discussion here right now and the interest in the ap- preaching election is daily growing In yesterday mornings paper there appeared an article from the pen of J. T. Murphee. In which the dispensary operated under the Moody law was argued to be the most approved method of handling the whisky evil. Colonel Murphee cited many Instances of the failure of prohibition to prohibit and stated that after d long fife or experience in fighting the whisky evil he had come to the conclusion that the dispensary system was the best.
 In this mornings paper appears a long article rom Fleetwood Rice on the other side of the question. Mr. Rice quotes from letter from Columbus, Miss. Which states that prohibition in that city and Lowndes county has proved to be d great benefit to the city and county; that Columbus has improved more rapidly since the inauguration of prohibition than ever before, and that the class of citizen ship has greatly improved as a whole Both of these articles represent very well the position of the two factions here, and bring out the arguments pro and con ill the matter. The indications are now, however, that the county will go prohi- bition at the coming election on the 3Qth of next month.
