peare.
The Chicago Church Choir PInafore company
is meeting with good success in the far West.

please the people who have never experienced
the aggravation under more favorable auspices.
More than a score of promising and good
actresses have killed themselves during the
present season in attempting to star in plays
written expressly for them. If woman can
not achieve success IN the legitimate drama,
she need hope for but poor encouragement
when she enters the speciality field.
The lbeller of the Boston Post says Bart
ey Campbell has written three more plays, all
of which will first be presented in Pittsburgh.
It is well-known that Pittsburghers are not
tempered and quick to start riots, and if they
can stand seeing the plays and not break up
the theater seats, the pieces will be considered
safe to go on the road with.
st. Paul is not likely to languish for want of
circus SPORTS Coup's great show is already
announced, Coles greatest" show will follow
shortly afterwards, the Interocean circus, "the
grandest in existence" will come along soon

July. Tickets for all are cheap and it will not
be necessary to crawl under the canvass.
