Brown's in Town.
'BROWN'S IN
Town," will be
the attraction at
Lloyd's opera
bouse next Fri
day evening.
September 7th.
It has for its
btory .a the m e
that is entirely
new. It is woven
around eleven
character?, each
one of which has a distinct reason
for being there. Abel Preston and
his son Dick are not of the same
opinion concerning1 the subject of
marriage. Abel contends that a
man is infinitely better off in a
state of single blessedness while
his .son demonstrates his position
by marrying. This action on the
part of Dick means disinheritance
and the situations and complica-;
lions that arise for the older Pres
ton are too farcical for, explanation.
Brown is an assumed name, and
there are no less that three women
figuring as Mrs. Brown. These
complications arise from a call of
the elder Preston upon the scene
ot the son's honeymoon. Humorous
attractions are brought about by
the sou's anxiety to hide his mar
riage from his father. Its ingenius
construction and witty dialogues,
together with the swittness of its
. action bring many surprises. The
music and songs incidental to the
farce are all original and do not
mar the action of the play. The
company inc'udes such capable peo
ple as ChaB. Horn, Geo. T. Welch,
Emmet Whitney, Geo. Ebner,
Jessie Mae Hall, Maude Knowlton,
Fanny Midgeley, Edith Weil and
others,
A Letter From Ckas. Bamelson.
Will Rowland is in receipt of a
letter from Chas. Samchon, Co. C,
Ninth Regiment, written at Tien
Tsin, July 23d, ten days after the
fight. In speaking of the battle he
says: "I thought my time had
come sure; not a man had any hope
of getting out alive. We were com
pletely hemmed in and retreat was
impossible. If you stuck your hat
over the trenches it would immed
iately be pierced full of bullet holes.
Many of the boys of the Ninth were
killed while peeping over the em
bankments. Some of the officers
said the day reminded them of the
Custer massacre and that it would
be a repeater of it. The Chinamen,
or at least some of them, are as fine
sharpshooters as there arc in the
world, and can pick oil a man on
the run rvcry time. I saw this
occur a number of times dining the
fight; the man who attempted to
run from one cover to another
seldom made a bucccss of it. Many
deeds of daring were done by men
of different nations and two men of
my company have been recommend
ed for medals of honor.
The water we drink ib from Pei
Ho tiver and is always muddy, and
besides there are hundreds of
bodies of dead Chinamen Moating
around in it. The entire country
around Jiere smells like a dirty
slaughter house, and it is really
strange that we do not have more
sick men. At inspection yesterday
there were twelve men in the com
pany. Our company had three
killed and twelve wounded in battle.
The climate is hotter than it was
in the Philippines and we are
quartered in store houses where we
get but little fresh air, Our
quarters are worse than those of
any other nationality.
To-morrow our company takci
its. turn at guard in the walled city.
The city is divided into four sec
tions, one of which is controlled by
the United States. It is the section
containing the arsenal and mint.
The silver is in bricks and an at
tempt will be made to have it
turned into prize money and divided
among the boys who were in the
fight'. Some of our boys helped
themselves to the silver bricks
when they were hauling it to a Bafe
place, some of them getting as high
as six hundred dollars worth. I
was sick that day and didn't get a
hand in the "pie." The arsenal
a sight to see. There are thous
ands of guns and millions of rounds
of ammunition, There are guns of
all sizes and shapes from the kind
which were made before Christ
came upon earth down to the most
modem fnakf. In this arsenal
there are guns enough to arm the
whole United States, so you see the
heathen Chinee is not short on
fighting material, and worst of all
know how to use- it."
At the time Samelsoii wroto the
letter the advance on Pekin was
being made" ready and he expected
a "hot time."' Events have since
proven that his expectations were,
fortunately, not realized.
