"Her Atonement" is to be presented at the
Grand tomorrow evening. This play pos
sesses many elements of popular success, the
military features being made prominent with
excellent stage setting and music by large
and irst-class military band. The special
scenery is fine and elaborate.
The Lowell Times says of Miss Carrie
Swain, who will appear in her new play,
"The Little JOKER" at Blacks next Thursday
evening: Miss Swain is overfiowing with
fun and jollity, and sings, dances and kicks
be ashamed of. In the pathetic portion of
her role the little lady is very effective, and
promises to become one of the bright psrticu-
lar stars in her own peculiar line. Those
who like to laugh have ample incentive, and
those who have tears to shed have good
cause to let them flow"

Supt Gill. of the Western Union op-

MANY mistakes have been traced to the

He will often charge the mistakes to a
defect in the machinery, but in the end
must admit of his inability to work.
When an operator is first attacked he

The Turfmen Talk.

There was a larger attendance than ever at
the meeting, last evening, of the Driving
Park Association and increased interest in
the proposed Summer Meeting. An invita-
ton was received from the Southern Ohio
Association to join the circuit now being
arranged in places in Southern Ohio and Ken
lucky, but the proposition is not favorsbly
regarded at present and the sentiment is
against accepting the invitation. Several
plans were discussed by which ii is believed
something interesting and attractive can be
put before the public in the way of speed
tests on the track, as home enterprise, but
nothing definite was decided upon and the
meeting adjourned until some evening next
week, not yet fixed. Some points of diff
ference with the agricultural board have
arisen and are about to be arranged, as it is
believed they can be with no great difficulty
Probably within the month something def.
mite as to the proposed meeting will be ar
ranged, of which GLoBE-REPUBLIc reader:

All on Account of the Scenery


When the Silver King Company arrived,
yesterday, it was found that their carload OF
scenery had by some mistake been taken from
Louisville to Pittsburg. OF course, it was
useless to attempt to produce the play with
ont the scenery and telegraphic correspon-
depce was at once set up to trace the "wild
car 1t was finally learned TO Ger
tainty that it was at Pittsburg.
The Superintendent at the latter city was no.
titled of this and Immediately answered that
an engine would start at once with the car
at the rate of sixty miles per hour and reach
thie city in time for the play to proceed. 4
later dispatch stated that the special had
starte0 at half-past one. AT fifteen minutes
after eight o'clock last evening it arrived, har-
ing covered the distance of 3l6 miles in
less than seven hours, a rate OF about 46 miles
per hour. Considering the condition of the
roads at this time of year and that the load
was almost too light for rapid travel, the
time made was remarkable and reflects credit
on the road.
As soon as the scenery arrived, the an
nouncement was made from the stage, and at
few minutes after nine the play COM
menced. The large audience, which had waited
so patiently, were more than repaid, howsv-
er, in the performance which they witnessed.

The majority of ornithOloCists agree
in ascribing an erotic character to the
songs of birds; not only the melting
melodies, but also those of their tones
that are discordant to the human ear,
regarded as love notes. Darwin finally,
saving some reserves, came TO accept
this view. To be able to speak crit
ically of the love-sOng. one should pay
especial regard to the love-life OF birds.
1t would be to throw water into the
sea to add what ornithological writers
have advanced concerning the exceed
sIg vital worth and cosmicaf signiti-
canoe of love. Nevertheless, venture
tn opinion that the origin of the song
habit is to be found in other sources as
well as in this important factor. among
which is the joy of life, manifested in
an irresistible determination to an
nounce itself in melody; and that the
song is more perfectly brought out in
proportion as this feeling is more high
ly developed in the organization.
Birds in freedom begin to Jng long be-
fore pairing, and continA it, subject
to tointerruptiOns, long afterward. though
all passion has been eXtinguished; and
domesticated birds sing through the
whole year without regard to breeding
time. though no female or companion
ever be in sight. Such birds, born in
captivity. never feel the loss of free
dom. and, if they are well taken care
of. are always heartya nd in good spir-
its. The bird sings, to a large extent,
for his own pleasure; for he frequently
lets himself out Justify when he knows
he is all alone. In the spring-time of
love, when all life is invigorated, and
the effort to win mate by ardent WOO
ing is crowned with the joy of triumph,
the Joy reaches its highest perfection.
But the male bird also sings to enter
tain his mate during the arduous nest
building and Matching, to cheer the
young, and. if he be a domesticated
bird, to give pleasure to his lord and
the providence that takes care of him,
and in doing so to please himself.
Lastly, the bird sings,-by habit, as
we call it-because the tendency is in
nate in the organs of song to exercise
themselves DR.. PlaczeE, in Popular
