Miss Iandick Primrose Miss Bertha Blake Poppy Miss Lana Vance The fret musiral comedy of the era packed the Tulane Theatre to the doors last night with an audience whose enthusiasms heat could not wither, bor perspiration dampen, It sweltered and shrieked with laughter and and encored every song until the perfortisers worn to tatters, and there wasn't a dry collar in the house. Fur Through the Rye" was not only the fret musical comedy of the season, but a tip-top, rattling good show- a sort of Scotch or itye highball, with plenty of snuff and Rea to it, and good enough to make you want just a little more. On the programine "ComIng the Rye" called song play, and the description is accurate enough.

A musical comedy by any old name is pretty much the same- a pourri of pretty girls, popular music. clever specialties and impossible situations, and Thro' the Rye no exception to the rule. Only its book is by George Hobart, a real bumorist, and the fusillade of jokes la as quick and sharp and incessant as the popping of corks at bachelor dinner or the rapid action of a gattling gun in a battle, And most of the wit hits the mark and brings down laugh every time. So far as the plot goes it tells of the many adventures of a cere tain Mr. Vandyke Brown, an artist, who loves not wisely, but too ously, and who finds himself in the har.

rowing predicament of being By enamored of a beauteous model, one Lolita, while he has contracted through the International Marriage Bureau to marry the Countess Christiana, who has been especially imported for that person. The unhappy Brown In. also in debt to Lolita's father, a tailor by protension. for sundry pairs of trousers, add further to his woes he has to To introduce into society a rich widow, anxious to marry a title, and with a fatal habit of murdering the king's English. How Brown induces the jing tailor to impersonate him and thus fall a victim to the -hunting how the millionaire gives a champetre, where strange things countess, happen, and how the cowboy and the English lord at length straighten out tneir difficulties make the complications around which the fast and furious funmaking is woven, and furnish the not unnatural background for the tender touches of sentiment in the songs.

The cast who came thro' the rye was excellent. Mr. Frank Lalor is a capital comedian--honest, human, and very funny, without a touch of the grotesque, and that of Itself is something to give thanks for in a musical comedy, when a clever make-up only too often is expected to take the place of humor.

The session was in substance as tole lows: The meeting was called to order boy President Sol Fried. Secretary Andrews said that probably at the next meeting Alex Pitalfugh. chairman of the wharf regulations committee, would report on the matter of these regulations. The committee had conferred with Capt. Hoffman, and had drawn up a set of rules to be submitted to the council.

Secretary Andrews reported that in that matter of the recent condemnation proceedings on the Hilver Creek railway an appeal had been taken. This concerns only a small strip of land. J. J. Lum said that the Y.

M. was giving a rate into Yazoo City on cotton from Silver City of $85 cents, as against $2.10 to Vicksburg. In his opinion last year Vicksburg had lost 5,000 bales of cotton by reason of this. Secretary Andrew said that he had written the railroad officials concerning this matter, and had stated that the rate ought to be based on the distance from Sliver City to Vicksburg by the way of the Silver Creek railroad. Other reasons were given.

Mr. Lum said that he thought Vicks. burg could easily take up the long and short haul argument and get the best of it. Secretary Andrewe arid that he would again request the railroad officials to come to Vicksburg and hold a conference concerning the matter. Capt.

E. C. Carroll reported as to the conference with Maj. Gilleas concerning the location of the new depot. He referred to the railroad's proposition as to the depot being just between Jackson and Grove streets.

President Fried suggested that the organizations interested in the matter should have a joint meeting to take definite action in the matter. W. Thos. Rose said that he had come to the conclusion that there were no advantages in any of the alternative propositions which had been made. 11e called attention to the disadvantages of the depot being between Grove and Jackson.

The present location had many drawbacks, but it seemed to him that it was preferable to the other Irrespective any grant of land. Mr. Rose said that he was unalterably opposed to giving the railroad any of city's water front. It was one of the most assets of the elty, Mr. Rose that he had been invaluable, formed that the railroad could not move Its depot below China street without forfeiting $100,000, and it could not move it north for lack of space.

Most depots had unsavory surroundings. Mr. Rose said that the people wanted a new depot, and taking everytiting into consideration it looked as if it would be at the present site. He moved that it was the sense of the board that the people of Vicksburg will be satisfled with the depot at the present site. Capt.

Carroll and C. G. Maas opposed the motion. G. B.

Hackett said that he was In favor of giving sixty feet on the west of the track without consultation with the government engineer. J. Lum was in favor of giving the railroad the 60 feet. On request Mr. Rose withdrew his motion for the present.

It was decided to further consider the matter. Secretary Andrews moved that it be suggested to the city council that a uniform sidewalk ordinance be passed for Washington street. This motion was carried. PERSONALS. W.
