THE COURIER-JOURNAL: LOUISVILLE, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 14, 1890. FLORIDA'S COURTS. Attorney General Miller's Response To a Senate Resolution Asking For Information. The President Authorize the Use of Money For the Starving Indians In. Dakota Washington; Feb.

General Miller's response to a Senate resoJution asking for informatien concerning the operations of the Circuit Court of the Northern district of Florida was laid before the Senate to day. It consists mainly of letters from the officials of the court setting forth that it is impossible to enforce any process of the United States Court in connection with election cases, as the deputies are abused, the prisoners rescued and witnesses terrorized. United States Attorney Stripling advises the Government to station military company in Madison to protect the Marshal in his work. In another letter Stripling informs the Attorney General that S. C.

Saddler, Supervisor of Registration of Elections, in Alachua county, bad pleaded guilty to two indietments, charging him with refusal to register persons entitled to registration. His violations of the law, the District Attorney says, were very flagrant, but in view of his confession of guilt, the promises of himself and friends that there shall be no repetition of the offense, some prominent Republicans, Mr. Stripling says, importuned him not to press judgment against Saddler antil December, 1890, in the meantime, to be released on $5,000 bail. The purpose of this, the District Attorney says, is ultimately to have the judgment finally suspended. He recommends that the arrangement be carried out.

Philip Walter, Chiet Supervisor of Registration, reports the fact of Saddier's plea of guilty to the Attorney General, and I merely send you these (the indictments) to show you the State of affairs in this State: and I can assure you I put it mild, when I inform you that over 10,000 Republican votes were thrown out after they were east. and that in a little upward of 700 procinets in this State, at least ten persons in every precinet were kept off the registration list, and thereby deprived of their right to, vote." In answer to District Attorney Stripling's letter recommending that Saddler be not, sentenced. Attorney General Miller, on the 21st of November, wrote: This programme does not, commend itself to my judgment. If this man has deliberately and dagrantly violated the law, I think he ought to be punished. He undoubtedly would not have confessed and plead guilty, except that he saw himself inextricably in the toils; and it does not comport with my views of the administration of the law that one, so evidently guilty of a grave crime, should entirely escape punishment.

POINTS ABOUT PEOPLE. The Rev. J. 0. S.

Huntington, who will preach at Christ church Sunday, belongs to the order of the Holy Cross, a body of men who have bound themselves by a tripie vow to work among the poorer classes. This young priest is a son of the Bishop of Central New York, and although it is but few years since his ordination, he has a0- quired a wonderful influence among the 980- H-le, whose cause he has espoused with such earnestness. In the recent strikes among the miners of Iliinois he took up his abode among them, and did much to avert the threatened trouble. He has become a mediator between labor and capital, and he oiters a solution of the problem which is attracting attention. Father Huntington will address wage-workers at Christ church Sunday afternoon at 4, o'clock, and preach a geueral sermon to men at 8 o'clock.

He comes here under the auspices of st. Andrew's Brotherhood. It is a fact, possibly not generally known, but nevertheless a fact, that there are at present. sojourning in this city two young ladies of royal blood, to both of whom the trite description of beautiful and accomplished" may be truthfully applied, as they are not only strikingly handsome, but are highly educated and possessed of many charming traits, coupled with Intelligence of a high or fer. Their beauty is of the rich Southern type- flashing black eyes and raven hair--and agreeable and entertaining conversationalists.

Moreover, despite their illustrious blood, they, are thoroughly dem ocratic in their opinions, and quite as patriotic as American ladies are generally supposed to be. These ladies are Misses Genevieve and Lillian Magale, and they are at the Waverly Hotel, the guests of Mr. J. D. Bondurant's family.

They are grand nieces of Dom Pedro, late Emperor of Brazil. Their father, Don Miguel, was nephew of Dom Pedro, and was raised by the Emperor in his own family. While yet a young man, Don Miguel ran away from his uncle, and came to the United States, where he some time afterward married a Miss Kelsoe, of Louisiana. In this country his name became Anglicised, or corrupted, and changed to Magale, with much the same pronunciation. Don Magale accumulated a very large fortune, which his two charming daughters have inherited.

They have no settled home, but spend their time as fancy suits them- in New York, Louisville and other cities. As stated, the Misses Magalo make no display of their Illustrious connection, and modestly prefer to say nothing shout it, being thoroughly American in their ideas and sentiments. They have been in this city several weeks, and will probably prolong their stay for some time, all as whom they have become great favorites with they have met. The exodus of Louisvillians to Florida continues. Alderman James Gilbert left yesterday to spend a month at Naples onthe-Gulf.

A. D. Mullikin and wife leave this morning for two-months' sojourn at the same place. Capt. J.

T. Ritchey, the proprietor of the Fifth-avenue Hotel, left for Pineville yesterday, accompanied by his son, Mr. Henry D. Ritchey and Mr. C.

H. Comstock. Capt. Ritchey goes to take charge of his big new investment, the Pineville Hotel, and his son and Mr. Comstock will assume the duties of the office in that establishment.

The hotel will be turned over to the new proprietor this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hoertz and daughter, Miss Maggie, left for New Orleans last Wednesday.

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Forcht have issued Invitations to the wedding of their daughter Lillie and Mr. Jacob J.

Schreiber. The marriage takes place on March 4, at 5 p. at the residence of the bride's parents, Thirty-Fourth and Market streets. MR. ROHL-SMITH'S RECEPTION.

The Exhibition of the Young. Sculptor's Works Closed Last Evening, The exhibition of the works of Mr. Carl Roth-Smith was closed last evening. It was the first of a series of receptions which promises to be very popular, judging by the continual stream that poured into his art room during the reception. Mr.

Kohl-Smith was assisted in the entertainment of visitors by his wife. The decorations of the studio were entirely of green-that. color above all others showing to the best ad vantage the bronze and marble figures, which were placed in stwdied neglige around the studio. Most of Mr. Kohl-Smith's works are ideal creations, consisting of groops of basand most interesting of ail, half finished a reliefs on marble, single figures in bronze, designs in clay scarely dry from the sculptor's press.

Prominent, and mostly admired, was a groop of Bacchantes. It consisted of two figures in bronze, life size, resting on the ball of the alternate foot of each figure. They repre ent the Bacchantes after a Saturnalian feast, drunk with wine, crowned with the vine and their bodies stained with the grape. It is the most elaborate figure in the room, and the last one was executed previous to the sculptor's departure for America. An ideal monument in miniature, raised on a marble column, is one of the most attractive pieces.

The rest. of the figures are busts and miniature likene ses in marble and clay. Mr. Rohl-Smith ranks very high in his art, and is considered by the connoisseurs in Louisville as the most promising sculptor that has ever visited America. BARBOURSVILLE CLUB.

The Louisville Organization to Help Get Up One In Knox The Committee on State Organization of the Commercial Club is preparing to go in force to Barboursville next Tuesday to assist in the establishment of a Commercial Club at that place. Barboursville, since the opening of the Louisville and Nashville railroad to that has been growing rapidly in population, and several very promising manufacturing establishments have been. established recently. A land and improvement company has also been organized to develop the town and build several other industries, notahly coke ovens and an iron furnace. These things have made the place very lively, and the business men of the town have determined to organ1ze a commercial club and invite the attention of outsiders to their unusual advantages.

The committoe will go up Monday night and return Wednesday morning. Several good speakers will be among the number going, and Barboursville will get some excellent points upon how to make herself hum.

Loyal' Lodge Gives a Pleasing Entertainment At Liederkranz Hall. Its Fifth Anniversary Celebrated Last Evening -Little Varina McPhee's Great Hit. Loyal Lodge, No.

3,143, Knights of Honor, never does anything by halves. That opinion has been frequently expressed by her own members, and last night it was confirmed by the unanimous verdict of as many ladies and gentlemen as could comfortably be seated in the Liederkranz Hall. The 0c- casion was the celebration of the fifth anniversary of the organization of the lodge, which took the form of a literary and musical entertainment and gift concert. It has been customary. to give these entertainments free, but this Was varied by charging an admission of twenty-five cents, but each person who passed in at the doors was presented with a neat basket containing fruits and gandios.

There were 1,000 of these baskets provided, and no one suffered from neglect. Loyal Lodge was instituted February 10, 1885, at the time the Breckinridge trouble was agitating the order; hence its name, suggested by Hon, L. A. Gratz, then Supreme Dictator, who was in the city and present at the meeting. The lodge has had but four deaths in its history, and it is the strongest lodge in the city, having a membership of 265, including many prominent citizens.

The lodge attributes a great deal of its success to its policy of keeping itself before the public through the medium of its annual celebration. The Supreme Dictator of the Knights of Honor of the United States is Judge savage, of Maine, and the Grand Dictator of Kentucky, elected last April for two years, is Hon. T. G. Stewart, of Winchester, Ky.

That the entertainment of last night was decided success no one who was present will doubt, and success was due to the efforts of the oflicers, as well as those who took part: The affair was opened by an address, well conceived and well spoken, by Mr. James P. Gregory, graduate of the Male High School and Past Dictator of the lodge, which was enthusiastically applauded. He was followed by a chorus of twenty members of the Harmonin. Society, and an Irish Lilt, danced very charmingly by Miss Blauche McBride and lustily encored.

well given recitation by Miss Lena Woertz followed, but, owing to the illness of one of its members, the quartet on the programme could not appear, and Mr. Ben. Speaker did neat specialty turn, which scored a decided hit. LITTLE VARINA M'PHIE. Then followed what was called Something New," and it proved to be something new indeed- the appearance of little Varina MePhie, a beautiful little tot only three years old, in a charming little dancing act.

The littlo one is a natural dancer, and has never taken a lesson, yet her movements. were rhythmical and graceful to degree, apd her perfect. She proved the great feature of the occasion. and the encore which followed was wildly enthusinstic. She is, in addition to her dancing qualifications, a natural impersonator.

The audience was highly delighted with her performance. A violin solo was excellently played by Miss Nannie O'Brien. and Miss Olive Kraft executed a fancy dance Pond in a manner that won her much applause. The fancy dance by Miss Ray Coleman was another very pleasing feature, as was the singing of the Falls City Quartette. Mr.

Ben MeAtee, pleased with some vocal and instrumental selections. and the well-known Old Hickory Quintette rendered songs and imitations in manner caught the house. usHere occur.ed an address by Mr. J. T.

Funk, Grand Vice Dictator, who gave history of the lodge, and presented a number of strong arguments as to why persons should become members of the Knights of Hono The address was succeeded by a special turn by W. B. Euler, the enter-tainment closing with the Old Hickory Quintette in a farce called Fun in a DrawEng Room. in which the characters were taken by Misses Mamie Greetig. Ella O'Neil, M.

Reichert. Theo. Krieger, H. Schaefer, Pete Ameling and Ben Speaker. This proved a very entertaining finale and created a great deal of laughter.

The curtain went down on 4 Good Night" song by Misses Mattie and Bertha Ruckstubl, Robert Knight and Charles Jeffe's, and the audience dispersed well pleased with tho entire affair. AMUSEMENTS. 66 Homefpun Heart" at the Temple, Last evening a good sized audience assembled at the Masonic Temple Theater to witness the first performance of Hal Reid and Miss Bertha Westbrook in this city in a new play, "A Homespun Heart." The drama is one constructed somewhat on the lines laid for the Old Homestead," but the plot is of a different character, and some of the situations unreal. The author seems to have attempted to crowd too much of his plot into the first act, and, to avoid making it too long, caused sudden breaks in the dialogue that border on the disjointed. This, however, can, and doubtless will, bo overcome in future representations.

The play is new yet, and the company, which averages very well, has not vet had time to bring out all there is In it. In the introduction of Senga Severeld, an adventuress, what promises to be strong scene is spoiled by the manner In which she starts in her design to alienate the affections of Tom Sanson from his sweetheart. No woman, adventuress or otherwise, would undertake such bold and barefaced means, even were her subject the veriest idiot, and the latter would be apt to eject her bodily from the house for her trouble. The scene is indelicate, overdrawn and absurd. Another defect, so considered, is the mannee in which this same Tom Sanson meets his returned sweetheart and proceeds to ask her to be his wifeanother decidedly unnatural piece of business.

There are other objections of more or less soriou's nature, which seem to have led to all understanding on the part of the company to ignore much of the nicety of byplay and get off the stage as quickly as possible after their lines are said. There is, however, much to commend, and some of the scenes are very strong. Like all new plays, it needs pruning and rearranging, and, quito as much as anything else, famillarity with the lines and situations. The defects are such as can be remedied, The author will probably see to it that they are. The company has some good people.

Mr. Reid himself bears evidence of capability, and his portraiture of the balf-witted Andy was, as a whole, quite creditable. He has probably, in his conception, given him little too much of what a countryman would call gumption." The elements of a very successful piece of character wark are there, however, and Mr. Reld will doubtless soon have the role molded into more natural form. His idiot is too well educated.

Miss Westbrook is a handsome little lady, with an intelligent face and graceful action, but she has taken upon her pretty shoulders burden too heavy for her as yet. Her stage life, It is understood, has been of short duration. Her training has probably been under a man of experience, as evidenced by her work, but, like many another, she bas undertaken too much, and in aspiring to stellar honors, has omitted the nice little details which count so largely in the impersonations of the best actors. But she gives evidence of the possession of sufficient talent to overcome these defects, and will probably soon be able to present a finished performance of her role of Marion Markos. Messrs.

R. G. Marsh, Nelson Compton and Louis Gossin gave their respective roles creditably. Miss Emma Bell, who has hitherto been an aspirant for stellar honors, shows great capability, and did as well as her rather unthankful role would allow. Her conception of the role of Senga, aided by the author's lines and the stage bustness above alluded to, is not to be commende1, bus action she is all that she should be.

The play, and performance, taken as whole, may be classed as fair. Mr. Reid received curtain calls, did Miss Westbrook. A real live baby was introduced in one act, and played her part mozo naturally than some of the more aged actors. Homespun Heart" will be ropeated to-night, when the performance will be likely to be smoother, as the nervousness of a first night before a Louisville audience will have worn off.

64 A very clever performance of Fascination was given at Macauley's Theater last night by Miss Cora Tanner and her company. The play is by Robert Buchanan, and, in spite of the fact that its plot turns upon the utterly impossible feat her of a oldest girl masquerading as her a man, among friends, winning lover's mistress from him and finally instilting and challenging him, it is a very entertaining comedy, and has some highly amusing situations. It must be admitted that Miss Tanner carries the assumed role through quite gallantly, and makes a dashing appearance in male attire, and though the spectator can never for a moment lose sight of the absurdity and impossibility of the ruse, he does not laugh the less heartily at the incidents attending the escapade. The beroine of the play is Lady Madge Slashton, whose name suggests her tastes, which are somewhat masculine. She is told that her lover is playing her false, and resolves to investigate the charges brought against him.

The second act opens on scene at the Opera Comique, which changes to the residence of Mrs. Delamere, an adventuress with whom the lover Lord Isley is supposed to be in love. Lady Madge disguised is introduced here Charles Marlowe, from Jamaica, and succeeds in winning the favor of Mrs. Delamere and getting into a quarrel with her lover, which is settled amicably in the last act, where Lord Isley discovers that his sweetheart and young Marlowe are one. Miss Tanner's acting all through was clever and spirited and she was well supported by the company.

An excellent bit of quiet comedy was done by Mr. Charles Coats, as the Rev. Mr. Colley, whose drollery was so neat in detail and so diverting that after the second act he was received with a round of applause at each appearance. His proposal of marriage was admirably conduoted and exceedingly funny.

The Count La Grange, of Mr. Anderson, was worthy of praise, and the part of the old Duke was well done by Mr. Bland, and the Mrs. Delamere of Miss Carey was a creditable piece of work. Confederate Monument Company, Mr.

Walter S. Mathews, who will begin a tour on Monday, the 24th, with his company, has formed an alliance with the Kentucky Woman's Confederate Monument Association, by the terms of which the society will receive a certain percentage. The Association will take part in advertising the tour and company, which is said to be very good one, and this State will be played first. The tour is expected to run till June 1. This arrangement, it is thought and hoped, will be beneficial to both parties to the agreement.

The Carpenters' and Joiners' Associations of Louisville, New Albany and Jeffersonville held a meeting last evening at the Market Hall, Ninth and Portland avenue. The meeting was for the purpose of establishing a union in the Western portion of the city.

There are over seven thousand members in the three unions which now exist in the city, and one thousand belonging to the New Albany and Jeffersonville associations. As the number of membership has rapidly increased in this city the past year, the Executive Committee recommended the establishment of another union. Mr. John C. Hennington, of this city, President and father of the association, dressed the members in an excellent speech.

He recited the infancy of the Carpenters' and Joiners' Union, when their numbers were small in the Falls City. At the time referred to there was no organization to hold them together, and consequently their wages were low, made so principally by the workmen cutting prices. He encouraged the men to stand together, and to promote the welfare of the working mn. A number of other speeches were made by several of the members of the union. They failed to elect officers for the new organization, owing to the lateness of the hour, when they adjourned.

They meet next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, when the various officers will be elected. PICKED UP, -William Lenehan, sixteen years of age, was arrested last night by Officer Hrown for jumping on the street cars at Preston and Main streets. -Ell Goodall, colored, was locked up at Central police station last night by Officers Roberts and Donahue, charged with stealing gold ring from colored woman at Second and Kentucky streets. -A revival meeting is being held at the Third-street Mission with marked success.

-Circult Court Is in session here. No cases of importance have been finally disposed of, though a number are on the docket. Thomas Mitchell, who was indicted in the Bullitt Cireuit Court for the murder of the Louisville peddler, near Shepherdsville, and from whose the partner in crime, Devine, was taken Bullitt county Jail by a mob and hanged, has been granted a continuance to the May term. The case came to Nelson county on application for a change of venue. Mitchell does not seem to be much worover the finl cutcome of his case, conried soling himself with the reflection that the fact that the mob at the time of partner did not think him guilty will have hanging his on some trial weight for with the jury when he is placed his life.
