THE ENQUIBER-STJN’S CRITICISM ON THE
CONRIED OPERA COMPANY—SOME
SUGGESTIONS.
Columbus,, Ga., December 11.—Editor
Enquirer-Sun : I have read with much
interest your excellent and deservedly just
criticism which appeared in the En-
quibeb-Sun this morning concerning the
manner in which the theatre-going public
was treated last night by the Conried
Opera Company. “Hit ’em again.”
Keep on “hittin’,” and strike home, and
if thereby you are able to improve the
general character and “tone” of the enter
tainments, operatic, melodramic or other
wise, which are imposed on a long suffer
ing public under the name of “first class”
companies (especially those which visit the
city of Columbus), you will have conferred

PERSONAL GOSSIP ABOUT HOME FOLKS
AND STRANGERS.
Mr. M. L. Patterron, of Oswichee, is in
the city.
Mr. T. W. Perry, of Hatcheehubbee, is
autographed at the Central.
Mrs. M. S. Johnson, of Hamilton, is in
the city stopping at the Central.
Dr. N. P. Banks left for a visit to Hurts-
boro yesterday.
Mr. Lawrence Jones, of Louisville, is at
ances they give here, that Columbus is
nothing more than a small country town,
and her citizens are not able to distinguish
between a first and third-rate show. It is
well that you, through your paper repre
senting the sentiments of the people of
this busy little city, should give the the
atre world especially, to understand that
we are no longer a town but a city, throb
bing with the busy hum of active life, and
fully abreast with the times, with people
who can appreciate and do appreciate a
good show, but who will not fail to “kick”
at an imposition.
But, Mr. Editor, are we abreast with the
times? Are we in a good position to do a
great amount of “kicking?” Are we
wholly without sin in this case? Shall we
mete this measure and feel sure that it
will not be measured unto us again? Let
us give justice where justice is due.
It is true that when an opera company,
or any other traveling combination going
to and fro in the earth seeking whose dol
lars they may secure, advertise with a
great flourish, and charge a first-class
price, people have a right to expect a first-
class, or at least a second-class show.
However, here are the facts in this partic
ular case, and they are given without any
desire to shield the Conried Opera Com
pany from any part of the criticism which
is their due, nor is it the desire of the
writer to uujustly criticise the enterpris
ing management of the Springer Opera
House in Columbus, yet it is true that the
company last night did not unload a single
car of their magnificent scenery. Why?
The opera house could not accommodate
it. The manager of the Conried Opera
Company stated after going to the opera
bouse yesterday that he would not unload
his scenery because it was nearly all forty
feet in length and it would be an utter im
possibility to place it on a 28-foot stage.
It is not necessary to state that
the effectiveness of an opera, even
of the meanest kind, is greatly enhanced
by the arrangement of its stage settings.
A song or recitation rendered upon a bare
stage in a country school house, with
blackboards and white walls for the stage
setting, may be a very tame affair, but
place the same song or the same recitation
upon the stage of a modern theater, with
its beautiful scenery, its mingling of hap
py colors, and its changing lights and
shades, and it would be pronounced
DEATH OF MBS. PETER
YESTERDAY.
Mrs. Carrie May Williams, wife of Mr.
Peter J. Williams, who was so terribly
burned in their room in the old Eagle
Boarding House Wednesday afternoon,
while trying to save the life of her infant,
died from the effects of her injuries at a
late hour that night.
A husband and two children survive her
and, as stated by the Enquirer-Sun yes
terday morning, the family is a worthy
one, and in destitute circumstance.
The funeral of the unfortunate lady oc
curred at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon,
and the sad services were conducted by
Rev. J. W. Howard.
Yesterday morning, little Miss Ella
White, daughter of Mr. B. F. White, read
the notice of the sad accident to Mrs.
Williams in the Enquirer-Sun, and with
out consulting any one, proceeded to col
lect money from her friends for the relief
of the Williams family. She met with suc
cess, and yesterday afternoon left $4 55 at
the Enquirer-Sun office to be turned over
to Mr. Williams. ' *

AS TO COTTON.
COLUMBUS BETTER PREPARED TO HAN
DLE IT THAN OTHER CITIES.
“There is a mistaken idea abroad which
causes people to withhold their cotton
from the market,” remarked a prominent'
warehouseman yesterday.
“A great many people seem to think,”
he continued, “that cotton cannot be sold
or money raised on it in Columbus The
truth is, the Columbus warehousemen are
better prepared to handle cotton than
those of any of our neighboring cities.
There is a good demand here for the bet
ter grades of cotton, and our warehouse
men, in spite of the scarcity of money
even in the money centers, are able to ad
vance money on such cotton as cannot be
sold as soon as it reaches the city."
The receipts at Columbus to date are a
little over 50,000 bales, showing an in
crease of nearly 1000 bales over last year’s
receipts to same date.

CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Died in Opelika.—Mr. W. C. Guerry
received a telegram last night from Ope
lika announcing the death of his grand
mother, Mrs. S. D. Evans, which occurred
in that place yesterday afternoon. The
deceased was the widow of the lamented
Rev. Josiah Evans, and her home was in
Russell county, Ala., about five miles from
this city. Mrs. Evans was eighty years of
age and was a member of the Methodist
church for over half a century. She leaves
three children. Mrs. L. F. Guerry, of Van
Buren, Ark., Mrs. C. E. Guerry, of Ope
lika, and Rev. Josiah Evans, of Russell
county. The remains will be brought to
this city for interment this morning.
A Theater Party From Richland.
—A pleasant party of young people from
Richland attended the performance by the
Conried Opera Company in this city Wed
nesday night. The party came in on a
special train on the Columbus Southern
road, and after taking supper at the
Central attended the opera, returning
home after the performance. The party
was chaperoned by Dr. T. B. Miller and
wife and consisted of the following named
couples :
J. C. Layfield and Miss Maggie Carter;
J. M. Brooks and Miss Missie Nich
olson; E. J. Prather and Miss Lillie
Clements; H. A. Redding and Miss Lizzie
Brown ;P. L. Mackey and Miss Kate Cobb;
A. G. Shepherd and Miss Jennie Cham
bliss; L. C. Averett and Miss Annie
Cryrnes; G. R. Brown and Miss Sallie
Brown.
The Lillle Tycoon.—In a notice of
The Little Tycoon, which will be pre
sented at the opera house here Saturday
evening, the Kansas City Journal says:
“It would be interesting to know to a
certainty what particular quality of ‘The
Little Tycoon’ it is that preserves to that
opera perennial freshness and brightness.
‘Pinafore, - ‘The Mikado,’ and a half dozen
other comic operas were chestnuts before
they had been before the public half as
long as 'The Little Tycoon. - The chances
are that the tuneful airs of the opera, as
much as anything else, are to be thanked
for its preservation from decay. These
were well sung last night by Mr. Spenser’s
company, which opened a week’s engage
ment at the Coates.”
Marriage Near Crawford.—Wednes
day afternoon, at the home of the bride,
near Crawford, Ala., Mr. W. B. Norris and
Mis9 Eugenia Jordan were united in mar
riage, Rev. G. D. Benton officiating. The
happy couple have & host of friends and
admirers who hope that the future will
bring them much happiness and prosperity.

treat. Those who were present at the
performance last night cannot but feel
indignant, and justly so, at the manner in
which the play was “cut” to say nothing
of the entire absence of the scenery, but
those who attended the rendition of Fan-
tasma will remember the noise and confu
sion that was clearly perceptible, and in
fact almost drowned the effect of the per
formance in some parts, caused by the
efforts of the stage managers to handle
the scenery, which was four times too large
for the stage. In fact the actors, I under
stand, were crowded from the dressing
rooms in order to make room for such of
the scepery as was placed, and the base
ment was converted into a dressing room
for some.
This is not the first case in which the
scenery and stage traps were left in the
car and forwarded to the next stopping
place without being unloaded, simply be
cause, they could not hadle it on this stage.
Now, Mr. Editor, I am heartily in ac
cord with your article in which you call
the opera company to account, but while
you are discussing these matters, suppose
you gently hint at better accommodations
for first-class companies As you are
aware, sir, a first-class opera company can
not well travel with less than forty or fifty
people, and some carry as much as two or
three carloads of scenery—a great deal of
it made especially for a stage perhaps two
or three times larger than this. 'J he re
sult is that they are unable to properly
render their plays, the citizens are dissat
isfied, the paper writes the company up in
an unfavorable light, and there is general
dissatisfaction all around.
Now, as stated above, Columbus is no
longer a couDtry town, but a growing and
thriving city, with a population of near
25,000." She has electric lights, “hoss”
cars and a dummy line, and will no doubt
soon add to her other city conveniences
an electric car line, which, with the
present magnificently equipped dummy line
will solve for her the problem of rapid
transit, and will enable her citizens who
live in the suburbs, and are not able to
attend theaters on account of the incon
venience in getting to their homes at a
late hour of the night, to attend, with the
assurance that they can reach home after
the show quickly and pleasantly. This
will increase the number of theater-goers
fully one half, and we must have better
accommodations in the way of a new
theater building. Agitate this question,
and let some enterprising capitalist, who
wants to increase his yearly rent roll, in
vest a few of his spare thousands in a first-
class opera house, ou a public street in the
city, built upon the most modern plan,
and large enough to accommodate first-
class companies with all of their sceney,
and you will have no more cause to kick
on this account.
A first-class theater building would not
only be a payng investment to an indi
vidual or company who would erect it, but
would assure the theater-goers of Colum
bus that they could expect first-class com
panies to stop at this place.
Favorable railroad schedules might also
prevent, to a certain extent, the indiscrimi
nate “cutting” of plays.
Now, Mr. Editor, I do not desire to be
misunderstood in this communication. I
have no desire to find fault with the
present management of the Springer Opera
House. They deserve credit for the amuse
ment they afford the people of Columbus,
but the city has outgrown the building,
and we need a new one, much larger and
more modern in every particular.

And gaze awhile upon the bargains there.
If you do I’ll never regret it; and there is one
time that I am fa rly hoi.m for you to come, and
that is the week beginning Dec. the Sth and last
ing 15 days. Year before last I exhorted you not
to wait till the last uav in the mornin’; to come
and select your toys before the rush got to
rushin’.and let your Uuele Holloway put them
away for you. But you were suspicious then and
thought it just a business sem-rne, and some of
you went so lar too tar as to tell me to my own
private face that “your money was just as good
i.s anybody elr-eV, and that you reckoned as how
you would gut waited on, begosh.” Bless your
sanctitireo hearts, jouuidn’t seem to realize other
folks had mouey too, and that i was ntst as good
as yours. All 1 could do then was to blush a deep
garnet all over aud let you see for your sweet
sell. And you saw to your sliay green aud my
sorrow. Both of us foiled to get what we luutu-
aly lia kered aft r. When 1 saw you go out with
money iu your pocket that you wanted to spend
with me, hut couldn’t because I was waiting on
some one else, whose money was as good as
yours, honestly I never was so shame in my life.
Last year you did a little belter. You had learned
that all is not “brass” that glitters in my wild,
restless eyes. You hud learned that the truth
w-11 mixed with modern'ion, jud ciously handled
aud temperately indulged in, will sometimes an
swer tor common every day use as well as a false
hood, And I feel encouragtd to say come once
more. You know why it’s to your advantage as
well as 1 do. Y'ou know you cannot buy goods
with judgement and eclat in a rammed, januned,
packed aud surging mass of humanity, all talk
ing and serouging and buying and begging to be
waited on. Now if you have the honor to be one
of those pitiful, miserable specimens of inhu
manity who think that every man behind the
counter is a liar and a thief, who has planted
himself there with his snares and his pitfalls for
the special purpose of robbing your poor inno
cent saintly self out of your liaru earned ui.-kels,
w hy, then.ol course J don’t expect you to believe
a word 1 say. And if your neighbor were to tell
you that Holloway liao never yet been caught iu
a falsehood about his Christmas Eve crowds, you
would think Holloway hired him to tie lor him.
As if Holloway wasn’t big enough to do his own
lying. To continue: Monday, the Sth, the ball

1 will be obliged to put away a great many staple
