OLD TIME
MINSTRELS
ARE COMING

Thirty years is a long time for an
amusement enterprise to be before
the public, especially in that partic-
ular branch of the business devoted
to minstrelsy. There is but one
minstrel company in the world today
which can claim that proud distinc-
ton, and that one is Richards e
Pringle's Famous Minstrels, which
come to Grand Opera House on Tues
day, August Is.
The expression, the survival of the
piled than to this very company
which has withstood the ravages of
time without a scar Public taste has
changed time and time again since
their birth. One form of amusement
after another has been born since
their inception, fourished for time
and then been relegated to the shelf.
Richards & Pringle's Georgia Min
strels, however, has kept pace with
the times and changing tastes
Each season they have offered a new
and novel entertainment, until their
coming is now looked forward to by
theatergoers as anxiously as the
small boy waits for circus day. They
have a large company this season, 40
people. and it would be well to Sc
cure your seats early, as these dusky
fun makers always play to a crowded
house here.
There will be a big street parade
and band concert at noon on the date
of their engagement. Prices. s1.00,

AS a result of the strike it is

All Quiet in London.
London, August 14.-The Board
of Trade today announced that it
hopes to avert a strike crisis and
reach settlement with the dock
men and other employees which will
prevent a resumption of such condi-
tions as last week tied up all traffic
in London.
The optimistic message was
caused through a decision of the
Midland and Great Northern Rail
ways teamsters to return to work
until Wednesday to give their lead
ers a chance to adjust matters with
the railway companies.
1t is planned to at once rush great
quantities of supplies to Liverpool,
where the strike is so acute as to
have brought the city to the verge
of famine.

DISTRIBUTES
BIRTHSTONE
GENEROUSLY

Bud Robinson, the Cowboy preach
er, closes a two weeks engagement
today at Salem, where he has been
holding an old fashioned revival
meeting, throwing in lots of hell-fre
and burning lakes of birthstone, etc.
His tent meetings at corner of Mar
ket and North Commercial streets
were largely attended, and he spoke
Saturday afternoon at Marion square
on Prohibition. He said the money
spent on liquor would pay for all
public improvements, and there was
a certain stretch of hell reserved for
the drinking man, especially the mod
crate drinker. 1t is not generally
known, but his radical views cause
many people to suspect that he is re-
lated to Rev. Robinson, president of
the Ministerial union of this city, and
veteran temperance fighter. To a
reporter Rev. Robinson denies the
relationship but very much admires
his way of going after the liquor
business.
Robinson had a big crowd and con-
siderable enthusiasm in his Marion
Square meeting.

Chesterfield, Va, Aug. 14.-Hen-
ry Clay Beattie, Jr., was today in
dicted by the grand jury here for
the murder of his wife on the lonely
Midlothian pike, near Richmond,
July IS.
After Beattie's indictment Beulah
was asked by newspapermenn to
pose for her picture. She demanded
$40. She did not get It, Then she
offered to sell her diary, giving a
full account of her Illicit relations
with Beattie and other men. There
was no purchaser for that.
Judge Watson's charge to the
jury was dramatic. He said:
ITO say that our peace has been
shocked, the laws broken and a
great crime committed is but to de-
clare what everyone knows. Would
that this assembly might disperse
and the young bride and mother re-
turn; the prisoner leave his cell
and the grief stricken father be
comforted, but that is vain. The
codes and the constitution provide
satisfaction for civic wrong, but
they cannot call back the fleeting
breath or make the earth and sea
give up their dead"
Judge John Watson, who presided
at the trial, arrived in a buggy.
Beulah Binford and Paul Beattie ar
rived at the Chesterfield court house
from Centralia In an automobile.
Harry Beattie, who stated that he
feared violence, was allowed to re-
main in his cell at Richmond.
Beulah, attired in a summery
gown, apparently was happy and
care free. she laughingly surveyed
the court house yard, which re-
sembled a county fair, thrifty farm
ers having established concessions
selling lemonade, sweets and lunch
to all comers.
Paul Beattie also seemed happy.
He had entirely recovered from the
nervousness which marked his con-
duct for so many days after his ar
rest, and even laid claim to author
ship of "poem" which ran:
Take me out of Henry's jail;
Take me back to old Chesterfield.
Give me fried chicken and lemonade.
Three cheers for Cherer and Wen
denburg."
When Judge Watson called the
grand jury to order, the court room,
intended to accommodate rs specta-
tors, was jammed with the crowd
which sought admission. More than
20 reporters, pencil in hand, were
ready to detail ever phase of the pro-
ceedings.
Beulah Binford and Paul Beattle
were not present; Detective Sherer
being the first witness. Sherer was
followed by Thomas owen, Mrs. Beat
ties uncle, to whose home Beattie
first brought his wife's body. Cor
oner Loving was the third witness.
Beulah and Paul Beattie were heard
just before the jury retired.
