There Is no discount on (luthrle
tnlunt on the stage or otherwise. Wo
have It in large lugubrious gobs and
only unfeeling marblehearted pessi-
mists would hay us nay. We have
musicians and orators; speakers and
realtors dancers and ruggers vocalists
anil songsters: actors and h'actors; and
last but not least curtain raisers and
olio disturbers. We have all these In
powder and dial I; and also in burnt
eor'.c. Last night's performance at
McICenuou'H opera uouse Is an evi
deuce of this fact. Tiik I.kadkh will
pit the (luthrle 400 against the world
and give the world odds on dazzling
panoramic kaleidoscopic displays.
Paste "Vacant" on the moon and at-
tach a copper waistband to tlio earth;
touch olF a sciollstic fact with the
sharp end of a syllogism and bury the
roses of summer In the hot bed of re-
morse and no mere comment could bo
created than a Guthrie girl In black
face and slippers doing the "Mobile"
to the tune of tho "Fatal Wedding"
(luthrle society girls are decidedly au
fu.lt. and strictly versatile. They
know a good thing when they see it
but malic no pretensions towards as-
piring to the heights of the new
woman. Thatcher Primrose West
and Hilly Ifer&ands may be onto their
jobs but their work Is antique. Not
60 with local talent with blacked
faces. For many weeks tho people of
the capital city had been looking for-
ward to last night's treat a pure out
and out minstrel performance by local
socloty young ladles. They crowded
tho opera house last night In fact
packed it to tho doors and tho fre
quent outbursts of laughter and ap-
plause was u seal and attest that they
saw and heard something that wub
good. And it was good.
The effect of the entertainment was
heightened by two box parties com-
posed of ladles and gentlemen from
Dark Town who afterward "balled
up" on tin stago at tho finale. Tho
ladles in the party woro decollete cor-
sage and cigarettes while tho gentle-
men woro garters and high hats
Among them woro Mcsdames Frank
Laux Paul Hunter Stewart McKay
Geo. Paine Carl Ilavlghorst and
"Chick" Lucas; Messrs Geo. Willis
Tarlton Corbett Carver Deal Leon-
ard Kggleston Merricic.
Promptly at 8 o'clock after a stir-
ring overture from thu guitar and
mandolin club assisted by MUs
llloeklc Jamison the minstrel accom-
panist the curtain rolled up.
A Hash light picturo of
tho minslrels was taken by Photo-
graphor Swonrlngun and then the fun
bogan sharp and furious.
Thirty ladies with blackened
faees and quaint makeups arrangedjn
padestal fceml circle just like profess
ional minstrels cruaueu loose on a
symphony In blaMc and white and
within a few seconds tho melody of
"tho Holies of IllackvUlo" was lloat-
Ing out over the enthusiastic audience.
At tho performance proeooJed the
grease on the girls' faces bogan to run
and beforo the first part wan conclu-
ded a nuinbor of dark coons had
turned yellow. Among the artists In
the first circle woro: lionet: Miss
Alice Schnell as Phoebe II6bbs and
Miss Rosamond as Angelina Snowball!
Tainbos: Mrs. Llllle asTopsoy Hofisset
and Miss Voatch as Virginia Handbell.
Interlocutor Miss .lunc .Tuucbug.
Under the euphonious names of Pattl
Melba Sylbll Sandorson etc. Mrs.
Gray Mrs. llngan Mrs Smith. Mrs.
Heland and Mrs. Lilllo and Rosa-
mond delighted the audiaucu with
stirring solos and duettt and scored
encores.
In the first part the girls were right
at home with pat gags and local char-
acters were struck with reckless aban-
don. Borne of the "catches" ran thus:
"Why Is Guthrie like a piano'.' He-
cause darkles (dark keys) arc above
and whites below."
"Why is Gov. Kcnfrow like a hu nt-
Ing dog? Hucause he makes a Utile
hare (hair) go a long way."
"Mrs. .lunc Hug can you pick a
lock'.'" "'No. Neither can A. .1. Spun
gel." (A. .1. is using Dandurlne with
success.)
The first part was a rip-roaring suc-
cess from the start and the ladles ac-
quitted themselves admirably.
In the olio Mrs. Greer as Mary Lease
.lohuslug gave a spirited and laugha-
ble lecture on the coining woman;
Mrs. Spurlock tang "Down by tho
Garden Wall;" Mrs. Gray gave "Kath-
leen Mavoureen" and Mrs. llagmi
sung a sweet solo; Miss Suhtie.ll in
topical songs brought down the
house as did also Misses Sceley lto-
deuheimer Paine Hlubaugh and Rosa-
mond in their ragging specialty Tho
South Cnroltna mnmmys and the
country baud led by Mrs. Lucas were
immense; Miss Julia Tarlton in mono-
logue was great.
In the second part the work of the
ladies was marred by tho boys who
failed to have their work down tine.
Kvery one was pleased with the
performance and all appreciated the
lact that the ladies labored under try-
ing disadvantages. Mrs. Williams
ni'jile a model stage manager and lo
her and Mrs. Grissell much credit is
due for tho success of the minstrels. It
is not probable tliut the performance
will be repeated.
Following is the program oiTorcd:
"Tho Four Hundred." Note: This is
a minstrel show and the projectors re-
spectfully request tho audienoe not to
expect a Shakespearean tragedy or a
Frohaiu society drumu. The onter-
taluuicut whatever you choose to
cull it is divided into two parts thus
giving you a chance to rest and think
it over.

and held many consultations to dis-
cover the Identity of tho. strange ail-

ease of myxodedenia. In this disease

ilar to ossification. No relief could be
given to tho sullerer and two weeks
