Lancashire clogs, etc. The. four

Marcus Meyer, manager of the
Henry Irving company, thinks any
one insane to think that Irving, with
his company of over seventy men,
bers would ever think of playing in
such towns as Helena and Blu. te.
Now that is rough, rather too rough
on Helena. Meyer ought to amend
his statement, and strike out Helena.
