When the boys get full in Streator and are
bent on "fun," they handle man somewhat In
this style: Orgies in which printer and ply
stefan were leading features-as described in the
Press: The printer was lying on lounge, from
which they took him, stripped hi;n stark naked,
threw him up and let him fall while the poor
man was grooming as II in the last agonies OF
death. But not satisfied they took pair OF
shears, with which they cut Off one side OF his
moustache and eide whiskers. His hair was
served the same way, as was also the private
parts Of his body. His clothes were secreted,
ana on Sunday evening he had not yet been able
to find his shoes or overcoat, though the weather
was bitter cold. While they were performing
their work the printer would sometimes recover
sufficient to expOstuate when he would imme-
dately be doscd with rum, which was also piled
upon his body, and the doctor Of the party, with
his case of surgical instruments at hand, would
tell him to keep still, you -; you've been
shot, and we're dressing your wound" at the
same time gouging his thumb into the printers
cheek to produce pain similar to n bullet

Lltta sang in Streator on last Friday evening.
The Press sums up the effect thusly; "Litta
isn't so much superior to other singers that she
should have all the credit at least with plain
folks who have not enjoyed the benefits OF supe-
rior musical culture. or course Litta must have
great talent or she would not have the reputation
she has already achieved, but to the greater
number OF the audience last Friday night the
singing of Miss McIain was more satisfactory.
Perhaps that is the misfortune OF the audience,
but it is a fact. Bat they saw Lita They en-
loved an evening Of high art music and are
satisfied

which the following is an extract:
That we hold these propositions to be self-evi
dent truths; God made the world for mans use

necessities, He likewise created them with equal
rights to His free gifts; that the land, the air,
The light and the water are equally necessary TO
mans life and proper action; and
WHEREAS, Ireland suffering for ages from
wicked and unnatural land system, has at last
risen in its manhood, and under the banner OF
Natural Rights seeks to demolish for ever the
conee that haze borne down its people; and
WHEREAS, Holding it to be the duty of every
one without istinction of nationality or creed to
send substantial aid to them in this hour OF their
trial; therefore be it
Resol,ed, That we do herein and now form our
selves into an auxiliary branch Of the Irish Ma
tiona Land League, with THE Land for the Peo-
pie and no Compromise" for our motto.

What We shall Have,

The concert of the season, par excellence, will be
that of the Rive King party, on next Wednesday
evening, Jan. 10Th. The company is a particu-
Iarly strong one, consisting of the following
artists: Mime. King unquestionably Americas
first pianist; Laura Bellini, soprano first season
in America; K. Richter, vionist late concert
mester of the Russian Imperial Opera; Emma
Mabela, whom we all knew as Emma Baker,
and Geo II. Broderick, of the Madrigal Club
Bellini made her debut IN America on Oct. 18th In
Boston, exhibiting marked abilities This is her
FIRST season in America for, though an American
by birth, she has spent the past eight years in
Italy and other parts Of Europe. The Boston
Herald tells US that while her voice may be
classed as soprano, her lower register is fuller
than is usual, but is of admirable quality through
out Richter as violinist is ranked with the first
in the world. The rest of the party have been
here before, 30 that comment is unnecessary.
We might remind the reader, however, that
since we have heard Broderick, he has filed an
engagement with Mapleson, Of "Her Majesty's
Opera" Mr.. Quicken will act as accompanst.

at one concert in Ottawa-music by Donizetti,
