nesday night an entirely new field

has opened to the colored performers.

.Hitherto the satirizing of the current

'fads and fancies has been the special

perquisite of the white artist, but in

their latest offering, "The Shoo Fly

Regiment, Cole and Johnson haye boldly entered the arena of legitimate musical farce comedy. As Hoyt satirized the short-comings and absurdities of our white Militia, in the "Milk White Flag," etc., so the authors exhibit the inside workings of a color

ed military company. The opportun-1 ities for fun making are unlimited j

and have been taken full advantage of. Cole will be seen in a "built up" edition of his famous tramp creation and Johnson will be a dandy young officer of the regiment. Tom lirown

will have a congenial part and Sam

Lucas, Bob Kelly and Andrew Tribble

are well cast.

Foremost in the female contingent is Siren Xavaro, the greatest ballet

dancer of her race and the o:Jy Afro-

American toe dancer in the world. Anna Cook, Inez Clough, Mollie Dill,

Elizabeth Williams, etc., with a j chorus of 40, which is , one of the f greatest features and constitute what

is undoubtedly the best singing and i dancing organization ever known in j

musical comedy. The locale of the jIay the Sunny South and our Is- j

land possessions, the Philippines,

give great opportunity for scenic and costume display, which has been

taken every advantage of by the man

agement.

Escape of President Spencer's Private

Secretary Was Miraculous to the

Extreme He and Porter all That

Escaped in Private Car.

Publishers' Tress. Lynchburg, Nov. 30. An investiga

tion is being made into the circum

stances which led to the wreck of two Southern railway trains near here Thursday, resulting in the death of Samuel Spencer, president of the

road, and six other persons, and ths injury of many others. The death of

William Pollard, negro porter in

Spencer's private car, and J. W. Shaw,

negro fireman, both of whom died in the hospital here, swelled the death list to seven in all. The injured are

doing nicely and probably will recover.

The scene of the wreck is 10 miles

south of Lnchburg and many persons visited it to see the effect of the dis

aster.

The escape of E. A. Merrill of New

York, private secretary to Spencer,

the only survivor of the party on tho private car, except, a porter, was miraculous. The injuries he sustained are not serious and he will be able to

leave, the hospital in a few days.

The negro killed and burned w as

identified as Benjamin R. Boswell of Toledo, O., a dining car man on Spen

cer's car for the trip. .
