furniture to get along, say 500 worth,

isle of Spice.

When Allen Lowe and George E.
Stoddard wrote the book and the
lyrics of the Isle of Spice" which
will appear at Reynolds Opera
House, Saturday night, March %,
they laid the scene o. their clever
story on an island in the Japan Sea,
where all sorts of funny things are
likely to happen. - cry shortly af-
ter the opening of the piece they do.
There is the funniest kind of king
with a desire to reform things,
which to him means simply to
change existing laws. He has a
beautiful ward, Teresa, who has re-
ceived an American education and
desires to have a young lieutenant
of Uncle Sans marines thrown in
for gsad measure.
II ing, who accumulates wives
as tIa-@average American boy does
marbles, desires to wed his ward,
but there is a law which makes it
necessary for his betrothed to first
spend seven years of her life in the
tomb of silence& While his ma
iesty is endeavoring to devise ways
and means of keeping his ward from
this ordeal, an Irishman and
Scotchman, who have deserted from
the u. S. Navy in balloon, are
cipitated into the midst of his
eVgitations, and he gives them the
choice OF taking her place in the
tomb or being beheaded. They
choose the former, but the scheming
court treasurer, who wants Teresa
out of the way, liberates them and
introduces the pair to the king as
a noted magician and astrologer.
After many mirth-making impo-
sltions on the king and the court,
they introduce the game of faro,
and they proceed to diminish the
bulk of the funds of the state treas
ury and the royal wallet with great
success. Then the young lieuten-
ant. whom Teresa regards with
more than ordinary favor, arrives in
search of the two deserters who are
from his ship. He discovers Teresa
instead and eventually carries her
off while the king has to content
himself with Asbena, lady of the
vintage of many moons past, whom
the conspiring court treasurer has
betrothed to him seven years pre-
viously. The story is set to music
OF that delightfully."- refreshing kind7

The Washing 4 rms, in the
course of a recent editorial on
Senator Bailey, used these words:
If his ambition to represent his
State in the next Democratic Con-
vention is to be made the test of

sideration, and make an end, abso-
lntely and finally an end, to the
charges, forever and forever. Tex
as owes this 10 itself; it owes it to
the Democratic party; it owes it TO
the United States; and above all,
it owes it to Joe Bailey.
The Nashville Tennessean de-
clares:
This is unquestionably the
right view of the matter as it
stands at present. We have no
disposition to PREJUDICE Mr.. Bailey,
but his present status is far from
satisfactory to the party which
needs his full and effective sery-
ice."
1t is to be hoped7 outside news
papers that have repeatedly taken
occasion to misrepresent Senator
Bailey will be fair enough now
that the submission of all the is
sues to the Democratic party of
Texas is in prospect to await the
verdict that is promised on May
p. Strange as it may seem, not
few of these journals have pre-
ferred to accept the vile misrepre-
sentations of Hearst's yellow jour
nails as accurate statements of
fact. The slanders which have.
beer sent anonymously from Tex
as to public men and newspapers
have been countenanced by editors
who are not usually foolish enough
to treat such methods with re-
spectfuI consideration.
The truth of the matter is, there
is not an outside newspaper that
knows anything about the Bailey
case. The fact that serious charges
were made seems to have been re-
garded as a warrant to assail him.
1t is undeniabIe that of recent
years there has been a certain ca
gerness among class of people to
accept and believe anything of
scandalous nature charged against

people of Texas, and if the outside

certain extent aided their efforts
to defame Bailey be fair minded,
