SENSATIONAL PLAY COMINU. "The Clansman" to be Seen Here with Big New >ork Cast and Production. That much talked of play, "The Clansman," is booked for a date at the opera house here. It will appear on Friday night, October 16th, with I lie big New York cast of favorite actors and a splendid metropolitan production. Lovers of American drama at its best look forward with pleasant anticipation to this engagement, which is among tho most noteworthy of the season. The play is as celebrated as any dra matic ofFering of the past fifty years. Founded on those famous novels. "The Leopard's Spots" and "The Clansman," ] it is in character and treatment an or iginal work. No scene which could , justly give offense from a dramatic or moral standpoint has been retained; but it is rich in comedy, in love interest and full of tragic power, particularly in its delineations of the terrible Ku Klux Klan. Among the chief scenes that are utilized are those of the Ku Klux Klan den, avast ill-lighted cave J in the mountain side; the rose garden I of the Cameron home; the interior of this historic South Carolina mansion; and the library of Lieutenant-Governor Lyncb's home. The action of the play does not lag for a moment. Pictures of Southern life pass and repnss while the thrilling reconstruction story is heing enacted. Indeed, "The Clansman" has been highly praised for its fidelity to the Southern atmosphere. Whether one cares anything nbout the political struggles between the Carpetbaggers and Conservatives or not, he is en thralled by it simply as a play. The best prooi of this is that " the Clans man' has been recoived with equal en thusiasm in all parts of the country regardless of sectional lines. Its suc cess was as great the past three sea sons in New York, Chicago and other great Northern cities as in its whirl wind tour of the South, tor "Tnc Clansman's" initial visit to the Pacific coast the original production and com pany has been secured, including such well known actors as: Arthur DeVoy, Evelyn Faber, Ahner H.

There are 250 orphans at the Connie Maxwell, orphanage, Greenwood, S. ('., Baptist. '1 here are 250 orphans at the Thorn well orphanage, Clinton, s. c., Presby terian. There are 60 orphans at the Church home, Charleston, S. ('., Epi-i opalian. The Lutheran Church home is at Sa lem, Va. The Hebrew home is at Atlanta, Ca. The Roman Catholic homes are in' Charleston, s. c. The support and care of all these va rious denominational institutions, with their largo body of fatherless children, is a sufficient appeal to every heart. Some years ago it was suggested, by Rev. Howard Crumley, of Atlanta, Ga., that on the first Saturday and Sabbath of October all those who love children i set apart those days forgathering funds to relievo the needs of the fathorlcss. On that Saturday let ovorybody, old and young, rich and poor, devote tho day to the orphanages, each man sending Ids gift to the orphanage he loves the best or that lies nearest his heart. The Georgia scheme worked well. For sev eral years an effort has been made to rouse an equal interest in South Caro lina, and Alabama and Florida have also taken it up. In every community some zealous brother might take up the mat ter and push it and the day's work from everybody would go to the orphans. This proposition is not in the inn rest of any one orphanage; it is intended for each one to give to the orphanage near est his heart. Civ.- Saturday'.-- wages to tin? orphans. Gather the proceeds on the Sabbath ami forward to tho in stitutions above named. It will besure to reach the right spot if drafts and checks are made out to the name of the institution itself and provisions shippi (I to the same. We have no doubt that when an individual community makes special request of the railway authori ties Hour and rice and molasses or any other products would lind them willing to deliver w ithout charge. Notice that this is simply it state ment. Urgent appeals are "not nee< sary. The orphans need help. The in stitutions are unable to give it without the backing of the people. At this sen ."-on all their treasuries are greatly de pleted. Do not overlook the day. A Traveling Man's Experience. "I must tell you my experience on an East bound ?. R. & N. R. It. train from Pendlcton to Lo Grande, Ore.," writes Sam A. Carher. a well known traveling man. "I was in the smoking department with some other trav< ling men when one of them went out i lo the coach and came back and sold, 'There is a woman sick unto death in the car.' I at once got up and wcnl out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her hands and arms wa re drawn up so you could not straighten them and with a death like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went te my suit east; and got my hot tie of Cham berlain's Colic, Cnolera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to tho water tank, put a double dose of the medicine in the glass, pound some water into it and stirred it with a pencil, then I bad quite a time to got the ladies to let me give it to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes I gave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where i was to leave the train. I gave the bot tle to the husband to be used in CH 0 another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grando she was all right and I received the thanks of every passenger in the car."
