At OPERA HOUSE
QUAINT CHARACTER PLAY WILL
BE PRESENTED TONIGHT BY
STRONG COMPANY -- OTHER
ATTRACTIONS COMING.

The story Of Sis Hopkins that de-
lightful play of Indiana country life,
which will be presented at Cairo opera
house tonight, with its scenes laid in
Posey county, at the old Pa Hopkins
home, is one of unusual subtle pathos
Being intimately acquainted with the
love of Sis" the odd little country
girl, it has an added charm and the
tale is told in a most natural and IN
conventional manner Miss Rose Mel.
Vile who plays the part of sis
originated the character and has made
of it one of the classics of the stage
Her unassuming acceptance of the
love of man whose deceit is appar
ent TO every one but the girl herself,
is pathetic, yet, when she awakens to
his duplicity, the punishment she
metes out to him is swift and sure.
Miss Melville is surrounded this sea
son by a company which surpasses in
individual ability supporting any sup
porting organization which she has
previously had. Prices 25c to $100

the ordinance, seconded by Aiderm

Alderman Meehan said attorneys
who had been consulted with T.
spect to the ordinance had differed
as to its legality, and in any event
he did not believe it would be doing
Justice to the Water company to
adopt such an ordinance without civ.

Alderman Burke said the Water
company had been given certain
privileges in Cairo on certain condi-
lions for a period of years. had in
vested its money here in a valuable
plant and it would not be fair to
change those conditions during The
life of the franchise. He did not
think it right to give a corporation or
person a Thing one day and take it
away the next.
Alderman Kelly believed the orli-
nance Should pass for the good of the
people, who were bling imposed upon
in various ways. Not only were they
made to pay for the pipes. and 10
