i've organization Of Harriet Beecher
Stoves great work, has added much
to the features introduced. The fun
is now en1ivened by the pranks of
Marks, while more of the quaint
pastimes of plantation life as it was
befo' de wah' in the way of cake
walks, buck and wing dancing, jubilee
singing, etc. give a more realistic
glimpse of the latter days of slavery.
This excellent company will be seen
on next Monday evening at The
Grand when the time honored pro-
cession of Topsies, Marks, Uncle Tom
and Little Eva will march right into
the hearts of the people, despite the
fact that for over half century the
play has engaged the attention of
many audiences, and although some of
the grandparents may be there with
their grandchildren. there will be no
less heartiness in their applause than
when years ago they first saw it. The
Martin Company, its scenery, special
ties and accessories will be found to
be the greatest and best numerically
in America.
"The Sunny Side OF Broadway"
The Sunny Side of Broadway which
comes to the Grand on Friday even
ing is to play a return date at Daven-
port and the Times of that place says
oil it: Those who remember the en-
joyment received from the Sunny
Side of Broadway" when it was first
revealed here a few months ago, will
recommend the attraction which
comes to the Grand opera house to-
morrow night. Max Bloom one of
the best known of musical comedy
comedians, is the bright particular
star Of the production, and the man
agement has surrounded him with
the pick of show girls and support
ing company of unsurpassed ability.
The stage settings and the costumes
of Tine Sunny Side of Broadway"
are radiant in color and design and
to Use time-worn expression are
gorgeous and elaborate in the ex-
treme." 1t Is doubtful if better
looking and more active chorus OF
show girls than those in this company
will be seen In this city this season.
Among the principals Of the com
pany in the support Of Max Bloom, the
star, are Al Harrison, ]. E. Coughlin,
Don Clarke, Marie Montrose, Carolyn
Ryan, Ella Hinsley and the Wentz
Brothers All the tri-city papers
praised the production when it was
last seen here with the same cast.

states that during the civil war there

citing what was done to save this Union
and how magnanimously 1t dealt with
its aSsailants. In view of this 1t is a

tains. These probably did no. know
their present location. since the terrific
explosions had undoubtedly shifted
them beyond anyone's knowledge Ad-
miral Porter had n force of sailors en-
gagged in fishing for them, but in spite
of the care of the sailors some would
escape being found until struck by an
unlucky boat. With his natural taste
for theatricals, Admiral Porter had
planned to make the ascent OF the river
la SNOWY demonstration, with his entire
fleet gaily dressed with flags from rail
to truck. The Malvern, undressing
them all in her bright banners. was to
lead.
The tortuous, obstructed channel
speedily ruined this demonstration. One
after another of the vessels was caught
on the bar or other obstruction, and
finally the Malvern, lighter draft than
the rest, was left alone, steaming ahead
rapidly, only to meet n similar fate.
Then Admiral Porter took the Presi-
dent in his barge. rowed by lusty sail
orS. and sent a tug ahead with guard
of 20 marines. Presently the tug had
to be sent to the relief of another ves-
sci, and the barge, with the President
and Admiral, was rowed to the landing
and its two distinguished occupants
stepped ashore. This was another il
lustration OF the Presidents lack of
sense of fear. Tho the Union troops
were in possession of the city, there
was not soldier in sight anywhere.
The President was virtually alone in
the city in which the bitterest hate that
men can feel had been inculcated for
years in the minds of every man, wo-
