HOITY TOITY AND
A FINE COMPANY

One Of the big successes of Weber
"Hoity Toity,'' which ran for a full
season at their popular theatre and
inasmuch as Weber & Fields organi-
cation is not travelling, the announce
ment that the only authorized COM
pany producing their plays will pre-
sent this merry melange on January
23rd, at the Grand, will no doubt be
hailed with joy by the lovers of musi-
cal comedy The music of "Hoity
Toity'' is full of melody from opening
chorus to finale is of the popular kind
and many numbers are catchy ana
whistleab1e; the scenery and costumes
are gorgeous; the young women of
the chorus are pretty, and this same
chorus dances well, sings we'll, and
is often and agreeab1y on the stage.
The box and lyrics are by Edgar
Smith, the music by John .Stromberg,
Of whom it is said he never failed to
hit the popular taste, and as all the
of Julian Mitchell, who wields a mag
CT wand when he handles chours,
has been retained, the ensemble is a
delightful entertainment.
The plot? Well, what's the use of
talking OF that! To be sure, there is
a little Of that necessary commodity,
but it won't be too great strai~
upon weary body seeking amuse-
ment to follow it. One scene gives
a view Of the campus OF Yale Univers-
ity where all the characters meet,
and boat crew appears to take Lady
Grafetr on a trial spin. The scene
changes to a river view, where a rae
ing shell is seen with the rowers and
Lady CRATER as the coxswain-stere-
optican slides depicting perfectly the
moonlit waters and the panorama or
the river bank beyond A beautiful
boating song is sung and the effect
proves one OF the prettiest imagin-
able. The second act is laid in Mon
te Carlo, showing the beautiful Ca
sinosino Weber & Fields are said
to have lavished $4,000 on this scene
alone, in the way of scenery and cos
tunes, all of which will be in evidence
during the present engagement. The
company is a large and unusually
we'll balanced organization of singers,
comedians and pretty girls to the
number Of fifty.

CRIMINAL
NEGLIGENCE

The frequency of appalling railroad
wrecks and the awful fatalities re-
sulting lately is enough to arouse the
entire public and make it cause for
Government investigation and to de-
mand that railroad companies shall
and must operate their trains with a
better regard for public safety.
1t seems that railroad operators
and train crews have lost the sens.
81 responsibility that should be theirs
when hundreds Of lives are in their
care, In nearly every catastrophe
the operator declares he has set the
signals properly and that the con-
duceor or engineer has read them
wrong or disregarded the signals en-
tireiy. ana there you are Whether
the operator or the train crew IS re-
sponsible, IS not to be discussed
hers We are not going to deal with
them, bur with the governing head Of
the railroad companies.
While the negligence Of the rail-
road employees may primarily be the
cause OF these disasters that lately
have horriRed the world. the public
look TO the heads. the men higher

and upon the shoulders Of these
heads really rests the possibility

results all the more terrible from the

that the telegraph operator had been

WHAT TO EXPECT
"The Squaw Man.

When "The Squaw Man, the re-
markable New York success, comes
to the Grand Opera House January
81, local theatre patrons will be given
an opportunity to see what has been
described as the strongest play OF
human interest and tense dramatic
qualities that has been seen in many
years. Mr.. Henry Jewett has been
secured to take the. part Of the hero
and is supported by thoroughly
capable and satisfactory company.
By some careful critics the play has
been spoken of as the greatest
American drama

POLITICAL
BOSSISM

The political boss in Mississippi is
no more The fearless and independ-
ent press Of the state have stripped
him OF his power and sent him back
shorn and Inundated to the office,
farm, or workshop, there to earn an
honest living and pay the penalty for
his misdeeds. The primary law and
the election OF Vardanan, sounded
his death kne1l and while he may
again appear in different roll, he
will never regain his full power.
The political boss is the worst
curse that can befall a state. Like
Satan, he has offered power, domain,
possessions, that was not his -to give
Promised wealth which he did not
possesses and by his forked tongue
of lying and deceit has caught the ear
of good men who became blind to the
truth and when to late to extricate
themselves from his power, were
carried down into disgrace and dis
honor.
Like the press of Mississippi, the
press Of every other state can prove,
by few we'll placed jolts, that they
have the power to move him and we
hope to see it done before many
wears.

Southern Abstract and Loan Co.


We take pleasure in calling ,atten-
ton to the advertisement OF the
Southern Abstract and Loan Com
pany, which appears in this issue OF
The Times. This company was or
gained for the purpose Of operating
in the Delta counties of this State.
The General Manager of the com
pany. Mr.. E F. McVeigh, who
spends considerable OF his time IN
this city experimenting the construc-
ton 70 the abstract plant at this
place. was seen at Hotel Cowan and
interviewed by a representative OF
this paper in regard to the objects
and purposes of his company.
4 Few months ago Mr.. McVelgh,
with other gentlemen, organized a
company with a capital Of $4,000
to prepare abstracts OF title to the
lands in this and FIVE other counties
IN the Delta. He says they have
force at work here and in Bolivar
and Tunica counties at present, and
viii soon start operations IN Sun
flower, Lefore and Tallahatchie. In
his opinion there is no section Of the
country in greater need OF company
to furnish abstracts for the general
public than this, owing to the peculiar
laws which exist III this State, the
tendency of which has been to dis
ot1fp
direction In connection with the abb
stract business there is also heavy
demand for money to develop the in
.sletiIabbe resources of this territory,

world He says it IS the purpose OF
his company to lend money upon

THE VANDERBILT CUP"

sensational and the spectacular. It

shortly Joseph Gates is the man
agrial sponsor for this play, the up
to-minute' book OF which has been
written by Mr.. Sidney Resented and
the music by Robert Hood Bowers.
The play was the sensation of the past
dramatic season i'll New York and
played to FIVE months of S. R. O.,
business at the spacious Broadway
Theatre. The plot of the play is
composed of automobile interest,
heart interest comedy and catchy
musical numbers in about equal pro-
portion The New York Tribune in
its review OF the play said: "The in
ventor of the automobile is going to
have bad two hours with St. Peter
when he presents himself at the
pearly gates, but this play will never
be scored against him. 1t will rather
count to his credit ST. Peter himself,
to be sure, would be q1ite unable to
classify it, to say whether it is bur-
lesque or musical comedy or me1o-
drama. or spectacle, or farce. But the
good Saint would agree that what
ever its class it is vastly amusing,
novel and interesting"
