laughs at the man of 40 years who has
resided on a plantation, and who thinks
he can do a patriotic duty in the senate
without let or hindrance.
Senator Langdon introduces the
gifted reporter to the two Langdon
giris; and then “Bud” begins to think
seriously of accepting a proposition to
become the older man’s private secre
tary. He at length does accept^ and
proceeds to teach the older man the
way the game is always played and the
way it sometimes can be beaten. And
one of the daughters aids in playing:
the game young Haines’ way, and the
other daughter aids in playing it the
other way, to her father’s grief, her
own undoing, and the general dismay,
of young Haines, who had thought her i
a goddess.
The New Orleans Daily States had
the following to say of “A Gentleman'
from Mississippi,” which appeared;
there recently:
An excellent house at the Tulane last
night received with deserved favor the
first presentation here of the successful
comedy, “A Gentleman from Missis
sippi.” When nowadays the plays that
make good are so generally the shows !
of music and limbs or of problems and !
loose morals, it is gratifying to find an I
occasional triumph for one of dean and 1
wholesome purpose such as Messrs. 1
Harrison Rhodes and Thomas A Wise I
have written and Messrs. Brady and J
Grismer have staged so effectively.
The scenes of “A. Gentleman from!
Mississippi” are laid in Washington, to 1
which Senator Langdon goes as the]
representative of bis state. He is an j
ex-Confederate and planter, with no |
previous experience in national affairs, j
| but of rugged integrity and long on |
common sense. He soon finds himself I
touching elbows with men of attenu-j
ated publie conscience, who feel noj
qualm in betraying sacred trusts, and I
who seem to feel they have a perfect J
right to use their position for personal j
aggrandisement at the expense of the I
government.
A coterie of senators and represents-1
lives, because of his eminent respetca- J
bility, select him as a tool to carry out I
a scandalous job. TJnder ordinary cir-1
cumstances they might easily have j
pulled the wool over his eyes. The I
senator, however, has had the good I
fortune to land as his secretary a bril-11
liant young newspaperman who hasji
been long enough in Washington to I«
spot most of the crooks in public life 11
there, and who still has the old-fash- j
ioned idea that public office is a public IJ
trust The result is that Langdon saves t
himself from a compromising situation j i
and by a bold and dramatic play de-jd
feats the job and confounds the sleek I c
conspirators. J E
The play is in four acts. The set
tings are thoroughly realistic and the
atmosphere of the public fife of the
capital is admirably preserved. Here
and there one runs across an incon
gruity in tsory and situation, but on
ihe whole the interest 5s excellently sus
tained and each act works up to a
dramatic situation of considerable
power. The cbaracters are drawn with
fidelity to types, the fines are bright,
and the comedy keen, and there Ss suffi
cient catering to Southern senriboKties

sent weHselectod eompary to inter
pret the comedy. Mr. TSsber has the
ohysieal proportions requisite to an

gave a wett-ioned and satisfying imper
sonation of rhe role Mx. Robert, who
will he remembered here as Checkers,

There was scarcely a flaw to be found
jin his characterization of the keen-
J wdtted newspaper correspondent turned

I something very life-fike in Mr. Eb-
I belts’ Randolph Langdon, the young
I son of the senator, who is busy sowing
his wild oats. Miss Feamley played
Hope Langdon with freshness and
spirit; Miss De Rigney looked stunning
as Mis? Spangler, and exeept for -an
indistinct enunciation filled the part
with cleverness, and Miss Petiayer was
very natural as a senator’s secretary.

The performance was warmly re
ceived and held the attention of the
andienee throughout the evening.

WAS JOHN JOBE THE MAN
BURNED TO DEATH?
Sisters Believe Coroner Made Mistake
In Name.
He had suffered much and long,
but now he is free from pain and Is
happy In that home beyond. He leaves
a noble and devoted wife, who was
never known to tire during his long
illness. Rev. C. C. Maples conducted
the funeral, services Sunday morning
In a very tender manner, at the Bap
tist church, where he had labored a
number of years for his Master. We
extend to his wife and relatives our
tenderest sympathy. Truly a man both
good and. great has fallen In our midst.
Earth is poorer—heaven is richer.
Was it John Jobe, a brother of Mrs.
I C. D. McCutchen and Mrs. F. F. Far-
I rar, .who was burned to death In a fire
at Bush, Ill., this week? Mr. Jobe’s
sisters, after making inquiries, fear
that the man who was burned was
their brother, but there is some doubt
I of It
When Mrs. Farrar and Mrs. McCutch
en learned of the tragedy, they tele
graphed to Bush, HI., to find out about
it They received a telegram that the
inquest was held over the body of
James Beil ton Jobe. Later they re
ceived a letter from their sister-in-law,
Mrs. John Jobe, who wrote that she
feared it was her husband who was
burned.
