Not such a FooI as He Looks.

The above three.act farcicsl drama was
given last evening at the Y. NJ. ii. A. hall
10 rather a slim audience. Notwithstand'
ing this latter fact, however, the partici-
pants seemed to play with ss much care
and attention as though the house
had been much fuller. As
on A previous occasion, the characters were
more than well sust aimed, and the amateur
performers added fresh lsurels TO those al
ready earned. The probable cause Of the
lisht receipts was the heavy price put on
the tickets. The sum OF 81 is excessive at
this season for a dramatic exhibition, even
of the fret order with q popular run. A
smaller admission fee would doubtless have
secured a much larger audience. Enough
has been seen of these amateurs, however,
TO challenge the recognition OF their powers
as artists and their sacrificing cleverness in
the interests Of any deserving charitable en-
terprise and for this they certainly deserve
higb oOmmendation. Following was the
CAST or CHARACTERS:
Sir Simon Simple. Ben hirschberg; MI.

Ike Mass: Fred GraBtley. y Fecbenbach;

He was a big man, with heavy side-whis
kers and military air that betokened long
service under fire and he was one-armed

going through the motions OF the meal with
graceful ease that betokened man

The Greenbackers

Usage CRY, KAs., June ca. J. Uuy,
chairman of the state central committee Of
the national greenback labor party issued
a circular, stating that after consultation
with other members Of the committee
and prominent men in the party, the con-
clusion had been reached that as a party
organization we ought not TO send delegates
TO the approaching Chicago convention,
that convention having been called
by individuals and not by
authority Of party and its avowed object
being the formulation Of new party. The
circular states. however, there is no objec-
ton to Greenbackers as individuals
taking part in that convention, and
suggests that all anti-monopolymen
should unite and hold mass meetings IN
each congressional district and elect four
delegates to the convention, and says il the
convention does what we expect Il 10 do +,
endorse our Chicago platform Of 1881, we as
party will heartily endorse that conven-

The Star-ROute Trial.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Merrick confined
his attack on Dorsey and his defense OF
Reredell in The star-route trial this morn.
ing. Dorsey had debauched Reredell and
then used him for his own criminal purpo-
sea. Scathed and blstered by his treatment,
convicted on the first trial while his master
escaped, Reredell had resolved to tell the
truth and seek safety by throwing himself
on the mercy of the government, and he
had told the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
lIngeisoll, referring to the Chico letter,
said Reredell. the governments own wit,
ness, had sworn it was written in 1878, and
Dorsey was then at Chico Springs.
Merrick exclaimed: THAT is the last
plank of dro wing pirates" Ingersoll,
who had become somewhat excited shook
his finger at Merrick and retorted
"Reredell is your last plank and you will
sink with that plark-a rotten plank"
The court declared the proceedings out Of
order even disorderly.
