The dramatic entertainment last Satur-

equal to the preceding ones, although

Charles Drury sang 1.-The Vagabond" ex-
ceedingiy well, excelling, We think, amy
previous effort in this line.
The Detroit Evening News accuses
some Of the state papers Ut abductiDg
some of its items. The TRIBUNE pleads
guilty to some extent. 1t is the best pa
per tor that purposs we know of. If the
News doesn't want its state exchanges to
seize upon it's news, it should not pre-
pare the matter in such tempting form.
lr is very difficult to resist temptation,
and the TRIBUNE does not propose to
try.
