It is a great satisfaction to everyone
to hear the opinion so generally ex

One of the most pitiable sights imagin
able is that of a man who has become
addicted to the inorphine habit. Bat to
see a woman in the same predicament
seems far worse. This morning two
such individuals, a woman and a man,
were wandering about oar streets and
told their tale of woe to several citizens.
They claim they are on their way
to Pendleton from Portland, having
walked all the way and having nothing to
eat for several days were about starved.
It is said they looked it too.
This fearful habit seems to so numb
the senses that they care little whai
they tell, nor whether it be true, so that
it Has hard, to discover whether they
were stating facts or not. " But tbe
sympathy of many was elicited, and one
gentleman hastened home to procure
something tor. them to eat. They said
they were stopping in the old brick
building at the foot of Washington
etreet; but when provisions were taken
to them they were no whereto be found.
It was tbe intention to provfde means
to send them on their way. While it
seems unjust that law-abiding, upright
citizens should be compelled to help
along characters of this kind, humanity
demands it and we instinctively do so,
not stopping to question.

And now we ' are "led to question
whether there is anything in which the
Dalles ladies cannot excel. They have
succeeded in othtr years in everything
they have undertaken, but until the ar
rival of Mrs. Rnncie in our city they
have contentedly left minstrelsy to the
male portion of the community. But
his dominion in this, as well as other de
partments, has been invaded, and last
night the lady coons were on parade,
and to such an extent that they fairly
carried tbe city by storm. We may be
said to live in a country town, but
Dalles people are critical when it comes
to shows and know when then see a
good one. They were not fooled laet
nigbt, and they attested that fact by
the loud and continued applause given.
Our ladies are all right. Indeed their
minstrel performance was wonderful.
With but ten days in which to practice
what was to them an entirely new
departure, the success attained, was
remarkable.
' Truly Mrs. Runcie must be a magi
cian to accomplish so much in so short a
time. However, her appearance on the
stage showed the artist she is, for we
have never seen a better female darkey
character. Then her ladylike manner
throughout the entire rehearsals and
performance was very apparent and won
her tbe esteem of all.
When tbe curtain arose last night it
disclosed fifty coons, black aa the ace of
spades. There were big .coons, litt
coons, fat coons,' lean coons, eancy
coons, modest coons and kid coons, all
arrayed in coon style. 'Their overture
was immense, and tbe way those six
end men (?) manipulated the bones and
tamborines was a caution.
After the overture came a quartet,
'Ben Bolt," splendidly rendered. Then
five coon girls, togged regardless, ren
dered "The Whistling Girl," and gave
the audience a bint of the splendid danc-
ng they were to witness.
Everybody applauded when the little
nightingales came out and sang "I
Loves Ma Honey," and well they might,
for their acting was so. cunning and
their dancing perfect. Inky White be
ing indisposed, Seraphina Appetite and
Ike Razzors introduced their selection,
"My African King," which showed to
advantage the sweetness of their voices
aiid was acted well. Then out came the
Snowball Twins in costumes so nobby
and sang "Hesitate, Mr. Nigger," but
no one hesitated to applaud, for they
couldn't help ehowing their apprecia
tion. Smoky Ham may have disguised
her featuree, but she couldn't her voice,
and wheq ebe struck the first notes of
I Loves You Ma Babe," all recognized
its sweetness and knew they'd iave a
treat, sorry lsernnart naa a most aim-
cult selection in "Fiy Ye Blackbirds,"
but she was equal to, it. In fact there's
no such word as fail applied to that
coon; she s a bird, a blackbird sure.
Clemintina Bigfoot was late, but she(?)
got there just the same and warmed the
company up with a "Watermelon Party"
song.
Tbe grand finale was grand, and how
the audience did applaud as the Stars
and Stripes were unfurled and the
entire company sang "Columbia the
Gem of the Ocean." The dancing by
one of the young ladies, dressed in red
white and blue, added much to the
effect, and she's a dancer there's no
mistake.
Part second opened with an overture j
by the orchestra, which it ' eeemed was
imbued with the spirit of tbe occasion
and played extra well. Six black birder
Bix young girls, part of whom took the
part of boys, gave a song and dance
which was graceful in the extreme.
Madam De Kankie De Koko made her
appearance and eang in true coon style
a song which, when 'encored, called
forth the Pumpkin Colored Coons, who
sure enongh made their appearance, the
little girl in a night gown and the tiny
boy in a little night shirt. The audience
was wild over them, and when they
gigged everybody fairly yelled with de
light. Company L. was composed- of
eight girls, in fitting costumes and
carrying , red white and blue canes.
This was a very taking feature of the
program, so perfectly did the girls exe
cute the movements. Bat what brought
the house down was when the seventeen
little ones, from 4 to 12 years of age,
came out and eang "Hannah, Go Hide
Your Bloomers." It was just too cute,
In fact it couldn't be beat.
' Tbe last number was a fitting finale,
when everybody came out and a regular
darkey jubilee was held. No one could
imagine we bad so many graceful
dancers in our midst as one by one they
did their little jig. It was a revelation
Bat the cake walk "took the cake."
We have never seen more agility and
grace displayed even among profession
als. Four couples arrayed in beautiful
costumes, elided across the stage form
ing all sorts of figures, and surprising
tbe audience, until it was almost im
possible to tell which should have the
cake. It was, however, evident that
the second and third couple were favor
ites and they were presented with the
prize. We must not forget the young
men who so gracefully assisted their
partners in this part of the program,
for they share equally in the honors.
We cannot do it justice. You must
see the performance to appreciate it, and
will be given another opportunity to
night. The roster was as follows : Mesdamea
