A very amusing incident occurred at
the Opera House last night which was
heartily enjoyed ny all present Nine
Rentz's MinstreIs-thc new company,
VIII oh visited our city twice last season,
and has won splendid reputation here -
gave one of its refined entertainments to a
large audience. A number of our pro mi
nent business men, after infor ming their
wives that it was not proper place for
women, went to the show. All were en-
joyng themselves quietly, when the door
opened anu long line of elegantly dressed
lndies came tripping down the aisle-thcy
numbered about fifty and as they passed
different rows of seats, heads would pop
up, wives would be recognized, and Il
smile would reluctantly app ear then, all
al once, the men discovered the scheme,
aud a loud round of applause greeted the
incoming ladies. They knew that Nine
Rentz's Ministries aoaS q fit place for ladies',
and quietly arranging to meet at the Rath-
bun House at fifteen minutes past eight
o'clock, they moyed to the Opera House
in body, occupied the best seats, and sat
out and thoroughly enjoyed most adj
mirable entertainment. Thi scores "one'
for our ladies, and W. wonder If any Ice
lures were read to the gentlemen in the

We attended the entertain m emit
given by Prof. L. Porter, Of Eckhart,
for the benefit of the German Luth-
eran Church, in Paul's Opera House,
Monday evening, and found quite a
large audience. The illusion of the
Sphinx was excellent as was also the
hat trick in the others the young
magician will no doubt become more
expert by experience. A fair sum of
the needful cash was realized.
