MOB SMASHES UP
*'GEN. JOHN REGAIN
Irish Audience, Resenting Ridicule,
Attacks ActOrs-Many Heads
Broken by Police.
fBv cable 20 The Tribune J

London. Feb. "a mob of four nun
bred rioters broke up the production OF
General John Regain" at Westport,
County Mayo, last night, smashing the
scenery, attacking the actors. and late;
besieging the hotel and breaking win
dows. The Infatuated crowd fancied
that the author OF the play canon
Fannay. who was rector Of Westport
for twenty years, held them up to rdi-
cule.
The riot was not quelled until after
the arrival of a detachment of the
Royal Irish Constabulary, which re-
peatedly charged the wild throng,
cracking skulls on all sides with their
stout clubs one actor was Knocked
senscless and several Irishmen were
laid out.
The tiny seaside resort on Ireland s
west coast was in great state or tur-
moil to-day. but the company was al
lowed To depart for Sligo without
further trouble. The production had
been doing big business in the Irish
towns il visited on the first nights, but
the second night audiences invariably
fell off tremendously, as the Irish, who
are usually credited with keen sense
of humor, seer ID unable TO relish the
harmless enough joke on themselves.
Westport is exceedingly like the
Ballymoy of the play; in fact, the stage
setting reproduces Westport's hotel and
street so that the little village had evil
IDENTIFY been for some time in fever
heat Of anticipation. There is no ques-
ton but that last nights demonstra-
ton was a carefully planned protest
against George \. Birmingham who
began his rectorate there in 1892.
Charles Hawtrey. who played the
leading part in London last season and
had big audiences, and who is now
financing the road company, says the
Irish company visited Westport only as
a compliment TO the author of the play.
General John Regain written by
Canon James Hannay, under the pen
name of George 4. Birmingham, is a
whimsical satire on Irish village life, al
most Shavan in its general style and
Characterization. Its humor arises from
the hoodwinking of an entire Irish viii

i'm the town OF Ballymoy. announcing
that he has come to see the statue of the

Theatre, New York, last November.

Destructive Lightning.

Tuesday afternoon Bamberg was
visited by heavy thunderstorm, with
a considerable fall of rain and hail.
The lightning was especially severe,
and during the storm the colored
Methodist church was struck on the
steeple and set on fire, being totally
destroyed. The organ, Sunday-school
library, and some other articles were
saved. There was insurance on the
building of $1,000, but the building
could hardly be replaced for $4,000.
For some time this congregation has
had plans for the erection of a brick
church, and this loss will force them
to erect another house of worship.
Lightning also struck the girls
hall at Carlisle School, knocking off
the cone of a chimney and tearing
a great hole in the roof. School
closed Monday night, and there was
no one in the building.

Salary Increased

The postmaster at Bamberg was
notified by the post Office department
last week, that, commencing with
July 1st, the salary here would be
s1,7OO, an increase of s1Oo, the SAL
ary formerly being $1,000. This in
crease was secured because of the
growth in receipts during the past
year, the salaries of all third class
postmasters being based on the re-
ceipts of their Offices. This shows
that Bamberg is growing, for there
is no question but that increased post
Office receipts shows that there is
growth. However, the increase will
require a raise in box rents, COM
mencing with July 1st. Box rents
rates at the Bamberg Office are now
35c, 45c, and 60c the quarter. After
July 1st the rates will be 45c, soc,
and 75c the quarter.

Linen Shower.

One of the most enjoyable social
affairs of the season was a linen
shower given by Miss Mozelle Cope
land last Friday afternoon in honor
of Miss Pearl Black Miss Copeland
was assisted in receiving by Mrs. j..
D. Copeland, Jr. The parlors were
decorated with ferns and sweet peas,
carrying out the color scheme of
green and pink with charming effect.
A witty contest kept the party busy
for several minutes, while the young
ladies vainly tried to answer the
many puzzling questions. At the
close Of the contest Miss Cressie Bre-
land was awarded the prize, a beau
tiful "Volume of Sunshine which
she laughingly presented to the bride
elect, hoping that her life would be a
volume of sunshine.
Mints, a salad course, and ices
were served. Then all eyes were
turned to the beautiful bay window,
where sat our lovely bride-elect, her
bright eyes beaming with happiness.
Just over her head was suspended a
large basket, seemingly filled with
pink flowers. But just at the right
moment little Sara Copeland, with a
fairy touch, pulled the ribbons and
the basket opened, showering the
pretty linen gifts at the brides feet.
Just before leaving each guest was
given unique souvenir, containing a
bag of rice to be showered on the
bride on her wedding day.
Miss Copeland proved herself an
ideal hostess on this occasion, and
all present voted this the prettiest
shower they ever attended.
Those present were: Misses Annie
Laurie Rice, Annie Lou and Ruth
Byrd, Mae Brabham, frankie and
Wilhelmina Folk, Bessie Armstrong,
Cressie Breland, Leonard Folk, Gene
We've Kirsch, Mary Livingston, Kate
Rentz, Ethel and Urma Black, Harrie

Miss Black Given Shower.

Miss Pearl Black, who is soon to
become the attractive bride of Mr..
James Thomas Burch, of Florence,
was given a shower Tuesday after
noon by the Apollo Music Club, at the
residence of Mrs. Robt. Aver. A very
elaborate program had been arranged,
but the rain caused the plans to be
somewhat changed. A porch party
had been planned The piazzas of
this lovely home were tastefully deco
rated with ferns and pot flowers,
crepe, etc. The color scheme of pink
and green was carried out through
out the afternoon. Refreshments,
consisting of cake and ice cream,
were served, after which the guests
were invited into the parlor, where
pink and green decorations also pre-
vailed, the procession being led by
the bride-elect The gifts were tied
on a long line suspended across the
parlor. Miss Black received the gifts,
consisting of many and varied ar
ticles, most graciously. On account
of the storm, the piazza program was
abandoned, but the guests spent a
very pleasant hour in conversation
and listening to music rendered by
various members of the club. On
leaving, the company voted Mrs. Aver
to be most charming hostess.

Musical Recital.

Miss Pearl Counts was the charm
ing hostess at musical recital, given
| by her pupils on Thursday afternoon
at her attractive home on Railroad
avenue.
The invitations included a number
of the unmarried social set. Receiv-
ing at the door were Misses Julienne
and Helen Easterling, Mrs. H. F,
Spann and Miss Counts ushering the
guests into rooms lovely with pot
plants and fragrant flowers.
After a short period of social inter
course, a most entertaining musical
program was rendered, each pupil
showing exceptional achievement,
and many surmounting technical diff
culties with perfect ease and accura-
cy. The playing of these little people
would do credit to professional train:
ing, and shows what can be done
with Juvenile talent under competent
direction.
The musical feature of the occasion
being over, the guests were invited
into the dining room, where at beau
tifully appointed tables with lace
covers and adorned with sweet peas
and poppies, a delightful salad course
was served by Misses Margaret East
erling, Rebecca Dickinson, and Gene
Price.
This enjoyable affair was closed
with sincere congratulations to teach
er and pupils, and grateful acknowl-
edgements of an afternoon most hap
PLY spent.
