says OF iIer and the play: AT the Standard
Theater last evening a new star appeared,
in the person of Miss Flora Walsh, who in
troduceG play-new here-entitled Our
Married Men,. 1t is a comedy in three
acts, full of farcical fun, with musical ac
compartments. There are local illusions,
merry dialogues, songs and dances, making
q medley OF merrimeut. The play is a
patch work of several old things, the old
farce OF \ Pleasant Neighbor being the
basis of 4 structure of new combinations.
But there are really few original things
now days. There's fun in this perform
ance, however. Miss Flora Walsh is a
pleasing, bright young lady. who has re
sources and adaptability for stage-work.
She is especially good in her specialties of
songs and dances, and. altogether, she
made a good impression. OF the company,
there are Messrs. j. Mari, John Fielding.
Ed. Hanley, Frank Johnson, Master
Charles Reed and Misses Alice Walsh and
Maggie Fielding

street, near Seventh, was entered by
a burglar Wednesday night and robbed of
about 81 30 in small change. The thief
climbed over an old building in the alley,
and thus gained access to the yard and rear
door of the saloon, which has q sash upper
portion, and is protected by inside blinds.
He endeayorcd 10 take out pane Of glass
by cutting away the putty. but broke the
glass while operating upon it. Passing his
fingers through the opening, he was able to
push aside the blind sufficiently to get hold
Of the bar fastening the door and remove il.
Evidently the fellow had been in the saloon
frequently. else the dog belonging there
would have created an uproar. So far as
can be ascertained. the only property taken
besides the money was 4 quantity of bread
and cheese and other lunch articles and
portions of these were found in the yard
and on the roof of the building in the rear
yesterday morning. The style Of the
burglary would indicate that the person
committing 1t was the same one that re-
Gently operated at the Turner Hall saloon
and the saloon next door.
