nights performance of Dana Thomp-
sons Ministries and were well repaid.
All of the performers are excellent
dancers and two of the women possess
very GOOD voices. "a forgotten pota-
TO-, as duck and wing dancer, has
few equals. His clever dancing would
make hit in almost any city. Taken
all in ali the performance was quite
good. 1t is especially free from vul-
garity and smutty jokes, and, while
the performers are all genuine ne
groes. yet they do not spring any
jokes at which the most particular
white person could take offense. The
company have decided to prolong
their stay here four more nights.

without any feet, his legs being sew
cred just above the knees, who for
the past few days has been upon the
streets of the city selling shoe-strings,
is now being held in jail until ar
arrangements can be made to send him
away. Every night since his stay
here it has been his habit to absorb
all of the booze that he could OBJ
tain and he would then become very
Ciorderly but, on account of his
MANNED condition, has been allowed
his freedom without fine, until fin
ally he made himself SO thoroughly
obnoxious that the local authorities
have decided to send him from the
city. Last night. when arrested by
Officer Dougherty, he abused the Of
fceT in a vile manner. Officer Dough
erty told him that if it were not for
his being a cripple he would give him
a good licking.
