Wortkington pump is not intended to
pump the Ohio river up as it flows by in
its natural state, and until well is pro-
vided, disaster will follow disaster.

Sweetheart Friday night, Ofthis play, and

above the average OF similar productions.
Tho story is simple pure, and the interest
well sustained. Miss Palmer and Mr. Ora.
ham were repeatedly called before the cur
tain. Miss Palmers dancing is charming,
and her voice has greatly improved since last
here. As rival OF J. X. Emmet, Mr.. r. L.
Graham meets pronounced success.
