MILE RHEA.
Her Engagement at the Opera House,
Friday and Saturday.

Her Engagement at the Opera House,
Friday and Saturday.
The play selected by Mile Rhea for her
opening performance at the Opera House,
Friday evening, is, 1.-The Country Girl" a
most charming production. The play
was originally THE Country Wife" by
Wycherly, and had a latitude that suited
the taste of the ages of Charles H., but not
that of to-day. 1t was altered by David
Garrick, and is still further modernized by
Augustin Daily. In its resent form it has
a great deal of the sparkle of the original,
something of its cynicism and levity, but
vet it is un~obiectionable to a modest and
refined taste. In this comedy Rhea has the
part of an unsophisticated country girl,
who is betrothed to n jealous fellow
| thirty years her senior who watches over
her like a hawk. Yet the young thing
falls in love, and with her wits sharpened
thereby. cOntrives not merely to elude the
| vigilance of her guardian, but even to
make him bear her messages TO her lover.
Some OF the situations are exceedingly
good, and the dialogue Is very clever.
Rhea is in this role rather vivaCiOuS and
full of caprice for an English country
lass. She is more n French than IN
English girl, get by no means Injuries the
effect of the comedy. Her %RGjrete, limo
cence and her ignorance in the first scenes
are phenomenal, but her arch deceitfulneSs
in the last act is said to be delicious. The
Country Girl" was the principle success at
Daily's Theatre, New York, last season. 1t
was also the chief hit of his London season
the past summer. Mile Rhea possesses
the sole American right to the piece, out
side of Daily's Theatre.

ers beingfemales. The remaining twenty
one were males, ranging in age from
two boys of sixteen or seventeen to grey
berded and broken down vags of sixty. A
REGISTER reporter made n tour of the cells
about midnight, glanced at the prisoners
and shifted the extremely ancient and fish
like smell with which the atmosphere was
saturated. The noises emitted from the
cages were veried in their nature, hut uni
formily diSagreeable. Some of the unfor-
tunates were singing, some snoring, some
yelling in an aimleSs but vociferOus way,
some pleasantly killing time in cursing
each other, while Others laughed at out
bursts of obscenity or howledf for water. In
one cell a whisky-soaked woman lay on the
broad of her back on the plank bunk, while
a young girl, attired In Il jaunty red sack
paced up and down the stone floor like an
amateur pedestrian. In the next cell a
woman of thirty and a girl of eighteen
were stretched out on the floor, pounding
their heels against the iron partition and
seemingly happy as clans. In the next
cell a dissipated loo King vag stepped over
the PROSTATE forms of two room-mates to
beg a chew of tobacco from the reporter,
and accepted a stogie with a grunt Ofsatis-
faction. This favor was observed by sew
eral Others, and the demand for stogies was
brisk, and the reporters stock was soon
exhausted. The round was made as speed
lily as possible, and the reporter emerged
into the purer air of Jack Arthur's office
with the question OF how the prisoners
evaded sickness in such an atmosphere
revolving in his head.

TRAINED ANIMALS.

An Unique Amusement Booked for the

Prof. Morris Equine and Canine Para
dox entertainments, announced to be at
the Opera Rouse, Wednesday and Thurs
day, are such as all classes ofpeople, regard
less of taste or belief, can attend. The
performances of the ponies and dogs are
truly wonderful, often displaying an in
telligence of reasoning powers. Prot. Nor
ris, whose name is Morris Lewis in private
conversation, gives the following account
of his experience in the training and exhi-
bition of animals: He was born thirty
n wears ago near Indianapolis, Ind, Of
Quaker parents.
II was born au animal trainer" said he.
81 began training cats when | was hye
years old. l had twenty-four cats broken to
harness, and 1 used to haul loads with them.
l always loved stock, and it is a pleasure for
me to work with animals. had q blind
mare that | trained to do many tricks. Then
l broke colts, and made money at it, too.
SAT the age of II my parents died and
then nv knowledge of animals and my
natural power over them stood me in hand.
l was forced to follow training for aliving
and | have done well at it too. / have been
at it ever since, and for eleven years have
travelled. 1 first went on the road with
trick horses, and have travelled with both
Barnum and ~FOrepaugh.
''Since running my own show | have
always exhibited in halls. After | had
travelled with the horses for some time
dropped them and took up the training OF
dogs. Then added ponies to my troupe
and here 1 am.
This is my first trip through the east
in many years. have travelled all through
the west and south. Firmness, kindness
and patience are the three great requisites
in training. l think that ponies are hard
er to train than-horses. They have fully
as much sense as horses but are more in
clined to be petted, and have more stub
born dispositions. / like to work
with them better. They are hand
some and cute, and the children are
always attracted by them. Besides, mine
is the only pony show in the country
while there are half a dozen regular horse
shows, all copied after Bartholomew. BY
the way Bartholomew has retired to his
farm in California with halfa million, the
proceeds of his show.
Dogs are easier to work with and train
than horses. Do you know that dogs are
natural comedians? A dog has several eX-
pressions to his face, and he delights in
making fun for you. A horse can go
through a wonderful performance but he
can't make you laugh. He has but one
expression. The Russian poodle and the
water spaniel are the easier dogs to train.
| travel with my show the year round and
do a good business all the time"

XMAS AT THE ARION.
A Very Pleasant Celebration Last
Evening,

A Very Pleasant Celebration Last
Evening,
The Arion Society gave its usual Christ
mas entertainment last evening at the
club house, which was brilliantly illumln-
ated from top to bottom. The hall was
well filled with the members and their
families and presented a happy appearance,
while waiting for the commencement
of the entertainment. A telegraph In
strument had been placed on the stage
and dispatches were received every few
moments from Santa Claus, who was COM
ing. The first was from the office OF the
Atlantic cable, New York, and was signed
BY st. Nick. 1t said: KRIS klngle Will
arrive in a few minutes. Just passing the
statue of liberty enlightening the world.

President Cleveland and ask Commissioner
Hon. Joseph Miller about the shortest road
to Wheeling. He will ar. i've arrive at the

Presently Pittsburg was heard frOIl,

said: "Just met Kris kingle on Smith
field street. He said he had to lay over
for a few minutes, as he had forgotten the
wigs" This had reference to two well
known bald-headed members.
The last was from Fulton, signed by
Santa Claus, and read: THE Mayor Of
Fulton has insisted that / accept the
hospitality of this borough, and | will there
fore be detained for a short while. l
drink to health of the AriOn.'
There were many other dispatches en-
route and the reading of them kept the
audience in good humor till 9 O'Clock
when Santa Claus appeared and went on
to the stage. Rev. Bahr, of the South
Side, made a very eloquent Christmas adj
dress after which the Arion sang a
Christmas song, followed by the children
who also sang. Then the curtain went up
and a beautiful Christmas tree laden with
presents and Illuminated by many tapers
was disclosed. Santa Claus then dis
tributed two hundred special packages and
three hundred general packages. The
whole affair was very delightful, and many
hearts were made glad.

A CHANCE FOR CAPITALISTS.
Attention Called to the Short supply of
BesSemer Blooms and Slabs.


BesSemer Blooms and Slabs.
"COld Snort" in his last letter to the
Age Of Steel, after calling attention to the
recent advances in Bessemer pig, foundry
and bar irons, and muck, says:
al must give credit TO another depart
ment, the nail trade. l have not been
slow to find fault with them, and | am
just rs well disposed to pat them on the
back, to use a late BeecheriSm, when they
exhibit proofs of regeneration. They are
holding firmly TO the recent advance to
$2.40 and are getting it. | believe they
are somewhat surprised at their own tidel-
ity-but sinners do not jump into grace
headlOng without experiencing some con-
fused feeling of unfamiliarity with the
ways of the sanctified. The reluctance of
capital anC its stimulatOr, enterprise, to
expand the production of Bessemer steel
blooms, Iillets and slabs, is peculiar.
Capital has been made unnaturally timid
by the aggressive and selfish spirit mani
tested by labor, but the influence of that
unwise sentiment is passing off, organized
labor is in danger of d~iSintegration from its
own pOnderous gravity and it is becoming
more conciliatOry, better disposed towards
reciprocity as it learns that capital is not
seeking to impose upon it.
There is IN actual scantineSs in the
supply of Bessemer blooms and slabs, and
unless figures deceive, there is an extra
good margin in the business OF manufactur-
ing. Good sitesi in advantageous proximity
TO the center of the trade, Pittsburg, are
not plenty, as the space requirements OF
BesSemer plants are materially greater
than for mills and factories. or even fur
naces.
wheeling, though sluggish in respond

miles from Pittsburg, with three lines OF

closer and more direct connection than
Pittsburg with the East, West and South

nearly completed Ohio river railroad.
Then another feature in favor of Wheel
ing, not being so thoroughly built up
and developed as Pittsburg-her posi-
bilities for future development and adj
vancement, aided and embellished by all
the improved accessories and accomplish
ments of modern progress are far greater.
