Synopsis Of "The Christian"

1t was ambition to succeed and be
somebody that caused Glory Quayle to
leave home.
1t was that noble instinct which some
times rises in mems hearts that prompt
ed John Storm to leave his home of lux
ury and go to great city to watch over
the girl he loved. That was Christ
ian act and no doubt it is from that the
piece derives it's title of THE Christian.
The first act of this piece takes us back
to Glenfnba Peel, Isle of Man. There
we meeTand get acquainted with such
quaint characters at the Country Clergy
man, his Curate and the Lord of the
Manor. We are introduced to Glory
and her friend, Polly Love; Mr.. Drake
and his friend, Lord Robert Ure; Arch
Deacon Wealthy and the Antiquarian
Society. We hear John plead with
Glory not to go away, but remain with
him and lead the quiet life We hear
her refuse; we see John renounce the
world, witness the quarrel of father and
son, and the curtain goes down on the
first chapter. 1t can hardly be called
an act, for it is more of prologue.
The curtain rises in the second act on
the Green Room of the Gloria Music
Hall, London. 1t is the night of Glory's
debut. She is surrounded by her friends,
music hall artists. To this scene comes
John Storm, now priest and pleads
with her to give it up. But no, she will
not, and the curtain falls as the first
pang reaches her heart.
Act three takes us to the Mission Hall,
and there we get glimpse of the noble
work of Father Storm. There also
Glory comes into his life, but after a
hard struggle with self he puts her out
of his life forever.
In act four we are in Glory's private
apartments and we get peep into real
English society. There Father Storm
comes also, being driven out by his fol-
lowers, and there we find the greatest
climax that has ever been attained in
the theatrical world God sent me
here to kill you'll" NO no, John, to
love-"
Act five takes us back to the Mission
again and we find that love triumphs.
'The Christian" teaches a lesson that
none of us can afford to lose See it to-
morrow night at the Bradley Opera
House.

The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1908-19??, 1908-09-10

The fall term of circuit court will
meet on Monday, September 21st,
just two weeks from tomorrow. This
will be the first local term to be pre-
slider over by Judge Jno. L. Buckley,
the newly appointed judge of the
Tenth circuit court district. Although
this will be Judge Buckley's first Off
cial visit here, he is by no means a
stranger to the people of Columbus.
He has visited the city on several
occasions and has many loyal friends
and staunch supporters here.
There is little to be done at the
approaching term, both the civil and
criminal dockets being unusually
light. The Columbus Bar Associa-
tion held a meeting last week, and
set the cases for the first three days
of the term. According to the sched-
ule arranged at this meeting, the
civil docket will be taken up first,
and after such cases that are ready
for trial have been heard the GRIM
inal docket will be proceeded with.
The jury lists will be drawn tomor-
row, and will appear in Wednesdays
Dispatch.

horse power Carey & Hodges boiler,
a 125-horse power Erie City" en-

Girl in Male Attire is Fined.

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 31.-Hav-
ing exchanged boys clothing for pet
tiocats, Bessie Mccoy, a pretty six
teen year old gil, appeared before
the court at East Lake Saturday to
answer to the charge of masquerad-
ing in male attire at the park the
night before.
A keen eyed policeman noted the
boys" feminine features, as she was
promenading the walks with two
young men, and promptly arrested
the trio. In court Bessie, who had
even gone to the trouble of cutting
OF her hair, was fined, but the pen
atty was later remitted, on the offer
of some ladies of East Lake to look
after her welfare.
The young men companions were
held under bond, to await an investi-
cation of the case, which seems to
have many mysterious features. The
only explanation the girl would offer
was that "she was afraid to be
caught"

SLOUGHING EARTH
ENDS NEGRO'S LIFE
BEN JOHNSON, A NEGRO IN THE
EMPLOY OF CADY PLUMB
ING COMPANY, MEETS
INSTANT DEATH.
Accident Occurred Wednesday Morn
ing While Johnson and Other
Negroes We're at Work on
College Street Sewer.

/ Ben Johnson, negro laborer in
the employ of the Cady Plumbing &
Heating Company, met instant death
last Wednesday morning as the re-
suit of a cave in a ditch on College
street. Johnson, together with a
number of other negroes, were en-
gagged in digging a ditch for a sewer
when the accident occurred. The
men were at work at a point oppo-
site the science hall of the Industrial
Institute and College, and Johnson,
who was foreman of the gang, real
lied that a cave was imminent. and
had placed two props across the ditch
to prevent the accident. These props
occupied horizontal positions, and
extended from one wall of the open
ing to the other. Johnson was work
ing in the intervening space, and
when the dirt caved it was impos-
sible for him to make his escape,
the props having effectually blocked
his progress.
The ditch in which the negroes
were " VI Ming 10 Ten 4SSb 0CCp anu
about three feet wide, and when the
wall caved Johnson was completely
smothered by the falling earth. Sew
eral tons of sand and clay came
tumbling down upon him, and when
his body was extricated from the
debris life was extinct. Jim Spencer
and Silas Roberts were working near
Johnson when the accident occurred,
but both were outside the two props
mentioned above, and neither was
seriously hurt.
Johnson, who was about thirty
years old, was a reliable, hard-work-
ing negro, having been in the employ
of the Cady establishment for twelve
years. He was we'll thought of y
his employers and all the men con-
nected with the establishment, and
the accident which resulted in his
death is sincerely regretted.

Discord in IIIionis.

Chicago, Sept. Chairman F. II.
Hitchcock, of the Republican national
committee, has found a political
problem in Illinois that is causing
him about as much worry as the
Hughes situation in New York State
The recent primaries engendered so
much bitterness between the Deneen
and Yates factions over the govern
orship and the Hopkins and Foss fac
tions over the senatorship that the
party leaders in the State, who will
be held responsible for the success
or failure of the national ticket, have
found it necessary to direct their
attention toward the formation Of a
harmony program. If it is impossi-
BILE to do so, these State leaders will
draw Mr.. Hitchcock into the case as
an arbitrator.
During the day Chairman Hith-
cock had conferences with Speaker
Cannon; Representative Mckinley.
chairman of the congressional COM
mittee; Senator Hopkins, Gov. Dem
cen, Representatives Chapman and
Lowden, the latter member of the
executive committee of the national
committee, and Fred G. Upham, as
sistant treasurer OF the national
committee.
1t was announced that the confer
ence related to phases of the ma
tional campaign and the cooperation
that is to be had between the ma
ional committee and the congression-
al committee. 1t is known, however.
that Mr.. Hithcock was urged to use
his influences to get all forces in the
party back Of the campaign to be
made by Gov. Deneen for reelection
and to bring Representative Foss and
his friends in line for Senator Hop
kins.

New York, Sept. Political con-
'ditions in the East were discussed
at length today at a conference Of
National Chairman Mack, mem bers
of the national committee and heads
of the various bureaus OF the New
York headquarters of the Democratic
committee. Chairman Mack said he
had received reports from all the
States along the Atlantic sea board
and that the East could be relied on
to help swell electoral votes for Mr..
Bryan.
Consideration vas also given to
various plans for an effective cam
paign, and Chairman Mack urged
upon his national committeeman to
do all they could to aid in the or
ganization of precinct clubs
National Committeeman Geo. ".
Green, of Rhode Island, and Judge
Frank Fitzsimmons, of Providence,
r. l.. chairman of the State central
committee, informed Mr.. Mack at
the conference that they had every
reason to believe that Rhode Island
this year would east its electoral
votes for the Democratic ticket.
Chairman Mack said today that no
selection had as yet been made for
the vice chairman for the Eastern
headquarters. Chairman Mack is
planning TO be in Chicago by next
Sunday.

Capt. McKain's Report.

Columbians viii read with interest
the following special from Jackson:
Adjutant General Fridge and his
team of Mississippi rifiemen, who at
tended the national shoot at Camp
Perry, Ohio, reached home Tuesday
evening, bringing the score with
them, which does not show up as
well as the Mississippians did at the
1907 shoot. However, they contriy-
| position, and had the satisfaction Of
knowing that there were three or
four State teams below them in the
averages. Gen. Fridge attributes the
low score made TO the difficult skir-
mish fire shooting, to which the men
had not been accustomed, and at
which they had not practiced suf1-
GENTLY; otherwise, with the high
scores made in the other events. the
Mississippi team would have landed
in the twenties, at least.
The adjutant general has received
from Capt. McKain, of the Seven
teenth infantry, three companies of
which took part in the encampment
at Camp Noel, and who was in com
mand of the battalion of regulars,
copy of his report to the adjutant
of his regiment, giving in precise Off
ciaI and military detail an outline of
the movements of his command and
the events of the ten days work on
AfiuCiccSoY1S
tional Guard.
Capt. McKane reports that there
was complete accord between the Off
GERS and enlisted men of the regu-
lars and of the Mississippi National
Guard, and pays a high tribute to
the uniform courtesy and kindness
of all, both military and civilians.
There was only one serious breach
of discipline which Captain McKane
felt called upon to report, which was,
as he puts it, 'the taking of chickens
from residents adjoining the encamp-
ment grounds by some of the enlisted
men, who were afterward thoroughly
disciplined
The National Guard made notice
able progress and showed vast inn
proyement each day, and Capt. Nc
Kane suggests that instead of the
tents pitched and cared for by the
quartermaster general and hired as
sistants, that this in future be done
by the enlisted men themselves, and
that they be required to both make
and break camp. The people of Co
lumbus came in for a round of com
pliments from this regular army Off
Ger, who concludes his report with
the comment that upon the whole the
Mississippi State encampment was a
decided success
Cen Fridge is satisfied that the
entire Mississippi brigade of militia
men profited very greatly by the last
encampment, and looks forward to
gratifying and helpful results, espe-
cially in the practice of the field ma
noeuvres, tent pitching and striking,
and the routine of camp from practi-
cal as well as sanitary standpOints.
