AMUSEMENT NOTES.

1.-The Rajah" drew another excellent audience
at the Grand last night, and the performance
was received with every Indication of favor. 1t
| is bright entertaining comedy, put on the
stage in good style, and exeeHently acted. The
concluding performances will be given this after
noon and evening, and they should be gener-
ously attended.
| 1t should be matter of general eongratulation
that Our Summer Boarders" will be seen for
the last time, here tonight, at Engish's. If Mr.
Barnes has any more new plays this would be a
good place to produce them.
''The worst of the season." Brief but explicit
criticism of the Evening News on Our Summer
| Boarders"
George Bruening, who plays Buttons in "The
Rajah, and plays it we'll at that, is twenty-three
years old, and has been in the profession several
| years, having been member of Haverly's Juve-
nile Pinafore Company and Deakin's Lilliputian
| Opera Company Besides his comical personal
| appearance, he is an actor of no mean preten-
| sions.
| 1t is probable that when Miss Maude Stuart
retires from the Young Mrs Winthrop com
pany, as she is likely to do on account of i'll
health she will be succeeded by Miss Ened Les
lie, who is one of the most promising young
actresses before the public.

London Truth: An eminent finaneialist of so
| cial proclviteS lately wrote to Mr.. Mitchell to
request him to inform Miss Mary Anderson that
| her presence would be welcome, either att din
ner party or as guest later in the evening after
| it, and to request to be informed what the charge
| would De. upon submitting the proposition to
Miss Anderson, this young lady very rightly re-
piled that she was not on hire for dining or
evening party purposes. Never was a
snub more deserved. What would the financial
list have thought if Miss Anderson had asked him
to come to her house to be stared at in consider
alton of food and checkl This sort of purse
| proud, vulgar snobbishness must be put down.
! st. Louis Globe Democrat: AS we have here
tofore remarked, the Shakspearean drama is
''cavaire to the general" in Kansas City Edwin

ness and Mary Anderson is fatigue in that high
lyeultured metropolis. We are glad to note,
however, that there is something in the drama of
the time that suits the Kansas City taste, and
we infer this much from the announcement that
the Bandit King" as performed by the Jesse
James Combination; is now drawing immense
audiences to Coatess Opera house every night.
