LEONE LOCAL CHAT.
As the advent of first-class ORA
matte Company In this CITY may 5
likened to Angels vi6its IL seldom
ness, 1t has been surprise and
delight to this community to hav,
such an excellent Company IS Wi
bur's stop here and favor us with ii,
most popular and attractive PLAYS o
the season and at such merel,
nominal figures that everybody ma!
enjoy it, when it Is deservedli
worth the regular city admission
prices.
Some Of the company have playe,
here before, and are favorftes will
the Martinsburg people. The face
among them that were new to us hay,
SO Won popular favor that we shall
remember them with pleasure ana
part from them with the sinceres
regret. We hope to have them witt
us again next season. They give
Matinee this afternoon, "Eas
Lynne;n and tonight play eth,
Hidden Hand.p
In behalf Of long suffering publ,
l hope we may have q more fittins
house for entertainments another
season. The scarcity of scenery anC
its quality can hardly be remedied sc
long as actors are compelled to PLAY
on an 8 by Hostage, with no room al
all to use the scenery the company
carry with them. We are deprived O.
seeing one of the most popular and
fascinating plays, "Under the Gas
Light" simply for lack of stage room
The discomfort that the audience are
subjected to, is painfully patent te
everybody. Towns not half the size
of Martinsburg have Halls that are
furnished with comfortable chairs,
while we sit on break back benches
that country school boys would rebel
against using.
There is capital here for Kinks,
plenty of it. The Central Hall Rink
Company could with little addition
al expenditure change their Rink
into Hall in central location, and
one that as city we need not be
ashamed of.
Thanks ale due policeman Poisal
For his promptness in suppressing the
usual disorderly tendency at Feller's
Hall.

Leather is getting scarce and
everybody wonders why. You
needn't attribute it to Cleveland's
free trade policy, and you needn't
las some people are mean
to insinuate-that the Mar
tinsburg women are adopting the
Chicago standard of feet. It's all due
to Frank Williams. The leather
supply is being worked up into med.
ais for him. The Judges of the Zou-
ave display at the Central Rink on
Monday night, donated him another
one. We rise to suggest that he
utilize them (if he means to give
very many exhibits of his skill in
denting the floor, as clothes protec-
tor, something like that which the
prudent mother fastens on to the
small boy when the charlottesville
ing mania is abroad in the land.

The Zouaves looked awful nice and
gave an excellent specimen of drill
under command of p. A. Rohrbaugh,
Esq. They could have played foot
ball with more comfort if they had
stuffed the vacancy in their uniforms
with feathers or sawdust.

The Bicycle race at the Central
Rink on Friday night was pleasant
rivalry between Adam Fitz and Ed.
Wilt. Mr.. Fitz captured the gold
medal.
On Saturday night the cake was
won by Clifford Moore. He cut it
md had a picnic by distributing it
around among the ladies and gentle
men.
The Raleigh St. Rink has another
Carnival on Easter Monday night.

President Cleveland is real nice
lfter all if he is democrat, and like
Ill bachelors, is fond of and thought
'ul for the quite young ladies, as is
evidenced by an instance in this city.
Miss Mida Chambers celebrated the
birthday and her own,
both occurring on the same day, by
sending him letter of congratulatiOn

it by sending her in
'eturn his card and autograph, of
which the little lady is justly proud.
