(day deserves.
It was founded on Oulda's novel,
"Strathmore," and depicts with great
force the fierce passion and strong
emotion so familiar In all of Oulda’s
weeks. ,
In Iho character of Lady Vavasour,
Virginia Drew Treseott gives a spir
ited and most exacting interpretation
of Ibis difficult role. Mr. Alexander
Frank gives a very intelligent enact
ing of Lord Cecil Strathmore. The
character of Lucile, while there was
veVy litil.e to it, Miss Jane Carew, a
very petite and pleasing actress, gets
all any one could out of the part.
1 The company is well balanced, and
the roles are all intelligently render
ed, especial mention being due Mr.
Gisigo as the Marquis of Vavasour,
and Mr. Fra uik De Vernon as Maj.
Bertie Errol.

PROBLEM NOW
A SERIOUS ONE
V
FLOODS IN CERTAIN SECTIONS
OF THE CITY MUST BE
REMEDIED.
CITY COUNCIL SHOULD ACT
Low Places Will Have to Be Filled in
or Something Done to Prevent
Damage by Heavy Rains.
What is to be done with the low
of Brunswick?
This is a question that is being ask
ed by all of our citizens and a prob
lem that must he solved in some way.
and it doubtless remains with the
mayor an,, council to solve it.
As is well known, there are six or
eigdt blocks in the very heart, of the
city which seem to he in a regular hole
and on several occasions this low
distric. has been flooded, both by
heavy rains and by unusual high
tides.
From Bay street to Union, between
Gloucester and Howe must be filled in
in some way andl the sooner it is done
the i.eter it will be for me city.
In the heavy rain of Sunday this
district wais flooded with from five
to fifteen inches of water attirt iiad the
rain continued to come down in tor
rents tor many more hours ~e people
who have business houses and reside
in the, district would have suffered a
serious loss. -MOTOI
This might be remedied by having
a better drainage system, which will
drain off the waller more rapidly, or
it may be necessary to raise the
buildings and fill in the entire section,
hut something will certainly nave to
be done and the city council should
give the matter their immediate at
tention.
WANTED A DRINK.
Whiskey in Window Tempted the
Thirsty Man.
Late Monday night, someone smash
ed the large plate glass window of
Dcugiars & Morgan’s liquor house on
Bay street and took two quarts of
whiskey, all that he could reach from
the sidewalk without getting in the
window.
Tne man was ovideuty in need of a
lor - noeiug all the whiskey in
the window lie could n,'d. resist the
tiempl/a.tion, ia.nd, waiting ulnt.il nine
policemen had passed) the place, he
smashed the window. There is no
clue to the guilty party.
FUNERAL OF MMRS. BLAIN. .
Remains Will Be Interred Here To
morrow Morning.
The remains of Mrs. A. C. Blain,
whose sad death in Macon was chron
icled in the News of yesterday, will
arrive here this morning and will he
taken to the residence of Dr. Blain,
on Albemarle street.
Tiie funei ail will occur tomorrow
morning at ten o'clock from St. Marks
Episcopal church.
A KENTUCKY PARSON
USES KNIFE ON HIS FOE
Pad ureal), Ky., October 29.
Through an unfortunate misunder
standing. Hoc. George VVavorly
Briggs, I). I)., pastor of toe Broad
way Methodist church, of this city,
the largest church in west Kentucky,
tonight stabbed T. J. Garr, proprietor
of The fnn, a fashionable hoarding
house. The weapon used was a small
pocket knife. The blade entered the
small of uie hack, on the left side,
inflicting a serious, but not fatal
wound. Toe affair occurred about 7
o'clock at the Inn where Briggs’ fam
ily is living.
Mr. Garr had been skylarking with
the minister’s little 9-year oid son, Wa
veriy, and lifted the lad from the floor
intending to swing him upon his shoul
der. The boy’s head struck a banis
ter rail of the’ staircase, badly bruis
in ghi.-i face and cutting the scalp.
The lad’s screams brought his father
Sobbmgly the victim of the mishap
said Mr. Garr had struck him. Be
lieving in his excitement that the boty
meant Garr nad assaulted him, Dr.

BLACKS GIG
TO BARBARISM
THAT STATEMENT MADE BY REV.
J. L. MURFHY IN LECTURE
ON NEGRO.
IT CAUSED CONSTERNATION
Minister Says Study of Sociological
Condition of Negrro Today Proves
He Is Deteriorating.
Muscatine, la., October 28.—Con
sternation was caused here by Rev.
J. L. Murphy, of the English Luther
an chcurch, who said in lecture cm the
| race problem ’hat elite study eft' Ihe
i sociological condition of the negro to
[day proves that he is deteriorating in
I this country, will later lapse into bar
barism and finally become extinct: He
I points out that before the war the ne
; gro was trustworthy, and! the honor
of any woman of the south was safe
without the protection of white men.
Today, however, a white woman
scarcely dares venture forth alette.
Mr. Murphy says that not only is
the black man becoming degraded
morally to l the south, but also physi
claly. Physicians testify that he is
more susceptible to diseases than al
few years ago, and especially in pul
monary troubles. Pneumonia is al
most always fatal. The position taken
by Mr. Murphy is that in time the
progressive class of biaicks will tire of
Ihe conditions in this country and re
turn to their former African home to
teach their fellow-blacks, while those
left in this icuntry will then rapidly
become extinct.
DUCKED A NEGRO PREACHER.
And Now Three of the Firemen Will
be Tried in Police Court.
John Green, Sam Goins and Fred
Manoe, three memoers of the city fire
' department, will be arraigned in uo
j lice court tli is morning on tlo charge
of disorderly conduct.
It seems that these members of the
department were in <ai good, humor
Sunday during the heavy rain and
wanted to have some amusement, B.
F. Seabrooks, a well known negro
preacher, was passing by and tlie
firemen procceeded' to give him 11
good ducking in tne water. The col
ored divine was much offended by the
action of the firemen and filed a com
plaint with the mayor, who ordered
tile case placed on the docket and they
will bet given a hearisg.

Briggs put the question:
“Did you hit him?"
He understood Mr. Garr to say th3 it
he had. Garr says he answered twice.
Tried to anger, the clergyman dealt
the boarding house proprietor a blow.
Mr. Garr returned the blow. A tap
id exchange of rights and lefts follow
ed. in the neat of the struggle Dr.
Briggs 'drew and used his knife, al
though he has no recollection of stab
bing Mr. Garr. A physician was call
ed and' the injured man’s wound was
dressed. He is resting easy at 1 mid
night. The affair, which created a
sensation, is deeply regretted by both
gentlemen.
