PRESS COMMENT ON
MCDONALD COMPANY.
“Dixie Land’* as played by the
McDonald Company, was one of
the most touching dramas, and
the audience last night was a
large and enthusiastic one, says
the Fulton, Kentucky. Commer

The old-time darkies of the South
were all there in their inimical
drollery and mirth—Southern
simplicity and ways of long ago.
The scenes and character sketch

was so much a part of the South,

little soubrette was clear out of

caprice and sweet cunning. With
the news of the rebellion, the

MR. CRITTENTON
IN NEWPORT.
The visit of Mr. Chas. N. Crit
tenton, the lay evangelist of New
York and Washington City, to
Newport, has marked an era in
the religious history of the town.
He is a man of large means and
successful business, but he has
entrusted his business to other
hands, and has given himself ab
solutely to doing good in the
world. His labors have been al
most world-wide and remarkably
successful. He is doing a noble
work in his efforts to rescue and
restore fallen women. Many
poor, despairing ones have been
saved through his efforts and re
deemed from outcast and 1 a don
lives to happiness and virtue,
and the “Florence Crittenton
Rescue Mission” will go down to
posterity to lift up and save the
fallen when its founder has been
long gone to his reward. He is
evidently a most sincere and de
vout Christian and successful
worker for God and humanity.
ENTERTAINMENT COURSE
PROMISES TREATS.
The Gause Chapter U. D. C.,
has been successful in bringing
to Newport a course of high class
attractions, the first number of
which will be the Royal Hun
garian Court Orchestra, whose
repertoire consists of compo
sitions of such masters as Ross
ini, Wagner, Abt, and others no
less renowned.
That the people of our commu
nity have presented to them the
opportunity of hearing such mu
sic, much credit is due the work
of the local chapter and their in
terest in introducing such talent
to Newport music-lovers, should
prove not only a financial suc
cess to the chapter, but a benefit
to the patrons as well.
The Hungarian Orchestra will
be heard at the Newport opera
house October 27th, and will, no
doubt, be greeted with a crowded
house.
The noted actor, Mr. Frederick
Warde, will also appear later,
delivering one of his well known
lectures.
IS ENGINEER "
RESPONSIBLE ?
Should Men Be Compelled To
Work Overtime ?
An exchange has the following
pertinent remarks to make on
the recent wreck:
“When you read the heart
rending accounts of the frightful
railroad wrecks in which scores
of lives are plunged into eternity
in the twinkling of an eye, and
the railroad authorities issue a
statement relieving themselves
from responsibility to their own
satisfaction by putting the blame
on some faithful engineer or con
ductor who went to sleep while
others trusted their lives to his
care, stop before you condemn in
the stroner terms this unfortu
nate man whose seeming care
lessness and negligence has re
sulted in such horrible destruc
tion of life. Do not forget when
you are ready to call him a heart
less criminal for sleeping at his
post of duty when so much was
at stake, that tired nature some
times demands a rest, and the
overworked body will call for
sleep to knit up the raveled
skein of time, and that the mind
and brain grow weary under the |
constant strain.
In investigating certain fear
ful railroad wrecks where the
! cause of the horror was attribu
ted to a ‘sleepy-headed, indiffer
ent engineer, ’ the evidence has
disclosed the startling fact that
the man in the greasy overalls,
whose eyes were too heavy to
see the signal, had been on con
stant duty in the hardest kind of
work, under the severest strain,
with his eyes fastened to the
glittering rails ahead, and with
his hands on the throttle for five
days. Who is guilty of negli
gence, the wornout, exhausted
employe who loses consciousness
from loss of sleep, and falls into
a stupor and ride*’ on with death,
or the employer, whose cruel ex
actions demanded the blood and
sweat of men working over
time?"

STRANGE MARINE MONSTER.
California flihtrmaa Catches Cml*
Fish Welshing 125 Pounds
with Hod asd Reel.
Edward Llewellyn, a cornet soloist of
lie Catalina Island band. Is a most en
thusiastic and picturesque angler.
Recently he made the record Jewfish
catch, one weighing 426 pounds; the oth
«r morning he though he would inscribe
the tuna record also on his diadem, and
taking the Catalina hiked out after the
biggest specimens of the tiger-fish to bs
taken. He had uncorked but a small por
tion of his stoek of patlencs when his reel
began to whizz.
And then it whizzed. By consummate
skill Llewellyn prevented the fish from
getting away In the first grand rushes,
and then he began on the aggressive. For
an hour and 21 mtuutes a fierce fight
lasted. It was a formidable-looking crea
ture that was at length brought alongside
the boat, and there was debate, after it
was gaffed, as to whether It would be a
welcome addition to the crew.
Hung up on the rack here, the creature
began to excite comment. To the casual
observer it was but a moon-fish, a rather
nnusual catch, but occasionally caught
and brought In by being entangled In the
fishermen’s neta. Thle, however, was
eaught with a hook and rod and reef,
something unknown to fishermen hith
erto. A glance at the fish also showed a
radical difference between this and the
sword-fish.
Its sword Is not eo long as that of the
genuine sword-fish of this length; the
lower Jaw Is unduly elongated; It has on
Its back a collapsible fin, which, when
extended, stands up 16 Inches above the
Ish, but folds down Into a grove, until
ft Is unnotlce&ble; the tall Is like the
■crew of a propeller, and very similar
hi appearance to that of the tuna.
The fish sharps are all guessing. The
Mhe of this has not been seen here before,
Mfl AVIV anlfirhtetiw.ei.4
any books on the subject to be had here.
The strange creature Is nine feet long
and weighs 125 pounds. The sword Is
M Inches long and the tall Is 39 across.

making money for use in the Philip
pines. To. Mr. Beall was assigned the

turned out 23.000,000 in $1,000 bills,
rhe insular department wanted to get
the money to New York. Beall went
iround to see the exprees companies
ibout the cost of transporting the
treasure. "Eight hundred dollars,’*
said each of the companies.
"That’s too much,’’ said Col. Ed
vards when Bsall reported. “What’s
the matter with you putting the
money in a suit ease and taking it up
rourself ?”
“Why, sure, I can take it if yon are
willing to trust me with it,” said
Beall.
The money was put in a suit ease
tnd Beall, although not even under
bond, carried it from this city to New
Iferk, whence K was shipped.
