TRAITOR" AT Or
ERA HOUSE JANU
AIRY 18th.

The Nashville, Tenn, Banner,
speaking Of The Traitor which
shows here on January l7sh, says:
THE Traitor seen al she Yendome
last night BY an enthusiastic audi
ence, is one Of che best melodramas
that has raised the curtain at that
playhouse this season. Il is unde-
niably melodfamatic, but the colIabo-
rated eIoquence Of Charming Pollock
and Thomas Dixon, Jr., has success
fully elevated the near-melloW situa-
tions above the level Of the common
place. For q Southern audience it
has an appeal stronger, perhaps, than
that Of any other similar offering,
THE Clansman7 not excepted, for be
it said to the credit Of THE Traitor :
it Is cleaner, freer from disgusting
scenes and suggestions than the
former play. In THE Traitor his
torical accuracy Of detail is striven
for and achieved at least to a great
degree while the s~mouldering spark
within the Southron's breast is not
famed to such a flame Of fury as it
il By the presentation Of the play to
which The Traitor" is the sequel.
1t deals with events during the re-
construction period when the black
cloud Of negro domination threatened
to o~Yerspread tie troubled skies that
hung above a devastated Southland.
Almost every plaudit won IS the re-
suit Of the expression Of distinctly
Southern sentiments. Ridicule is one
Of It's strongest features, placing as
!. does, the attempted overthrow Of
che white man in the South in a light
so iudicrous as to make it seem as
though it were-had always been-a
matter for mere laughter. A farcical
trial BY q black jury; a traitorous
scoundrel whose position IS abso-
lutely untenable, and a white and
black man made filed with y~illainy
solely, and separated and condemned
as a result Of the superstition and abb
iect fear Of the latter; these and
other similar matters are presented
II the light Of comedy, which, after
all, ID as much IN evidence as che
meIodramatic. Love runs az inter-
sseing and successful race with VII
Iainy and che climax is satisfying

TIE Insaass at me louisiana Insane
asylum II Jaeksoa.

Dr.. Clarence Pierson, Snperinten-
dent Of the State Insane Asylum At
Jackson, was recently IN Baton
Rouge, and while there the States
Times gathered the following story
from him:
Fifteen blankets d night IS fire.
quently che number torn up by the
patients Of the State Insane Asylum
at jackson. Some times The number
destroyed By the insane patients il
one night il as high Is twenty.
This very interesting fact was
brought out by the visit Of DR.. Clar-
ence Pierson, superintendent Of the
State Asylum for the Insane.
'sDr. Pierson was here regarding
the financial affairs Of the institution
and mentioned the blanket bill as one
Of the items Of expense which the
institution has TO meet. The loss Of
fifteen blankets a night is quite an
item, and no blanket has yet been
found BY the superintendent, which
was sufficiently warm to make the
patients comfortable and sufficiently
strong 10 prevent them from tear.

NEW LAWS FOR SOUTH DAKOTA

Pierre, S. D., Jan. 6.-Members OF the
South Dakota legislature are arriving
in large numbers in readiness for the
opening of the biennial session of that
body. A busy and important session is
expected The reform element will con-
tinue in control, but the indications are
that there will not be so much radical
legislation as developed at the session
two years ago.
The state primary law makes the
election of United States senator an
almost perfunctory proceeding and one
that will attract little general atten-
ton. The result of the primary last
summer assures the election of Coe /.
Crawford. whose term as governor has
just expired, to succeed Albert B. Kit
fridge in the United States senate.
AS soon as the senatorship is dis
posed of the lawmakers will proceed
to the important business awaiting
their consideration and action. Meas
ures for raising revenue and the crea-
ton of an effective state immigra-
ton bureau are matters that will re-
ceive attention OF even greater in
terest to the general public are the q
cent fare and county option bills and
the proposed amendments to the new
primary law.
