Mr.. c. G. knell lnaugurates his season
at Harper's theatre with a rare attraction,
Dan Sully's Corner Grocery" next Nor
day evening. The st. Louis Globe Demo
crat says of the play:
People laughed until they cried at the
Standard last night. The upper part of
the house was jammed, and the down
stairs crowd was large. Sully's Corner
Grocery" an uproarious comedy, with an
occasional touch of nature and a pathetic
love episode underlying, was greeted with
tremendous manifestations of approval.
The leading role, Daddy Nolan, is por-
traved by Mr.. Sam E. Ryan, and, witt
the assistance of pleasing company, an
audience is RECALLED with constant round
of amusement. A very pretty picture o.
domestic life is presented in the play, ano
there is an appeal not only to the risibles
but the purer and nobler emotions. ant
little tender episodes check the laughtel
of the audience, and remind them tina
there is serious side, even to the happi
est and most mirthful souls. Sully'
Corner Grocery is of course, ridicu
lousy funny. and it is all that has beef
represented immensely amusing, alb
sorbing in situation, and as clean in Ian

A card received from Oakland, H.,
brings the information that MIKE Year
gin, of that place, who spent few weeks

man. He became the husband OF Miss
Minnie + Lamb at Charlottesville, Ind,
on Saturday, Dec PC. They will be at
home" in Oakland after January 10
Mike" is the quill driver OF the Oak
land Ledger, which he fills with spice, all
varieties, every week. 1t is wonder he
was not married long ago, as he claims to
have been engaged TO rs many as five DIT
ferent girls at one time. He made it a
rule the last year to go prepared fol
matrimony on all occasions. BEING bet'
on marrying somebody he finally found 1
maiden so Lamb>like that she could moi
refuse his entreaties and they were
'hitched" There will doubtless bt
mourning among the members OF the fem
mime gender in Freeport upon whom ht
smiled SO sweetly during his stay in The
city, when ii is learned that he has really
gone.
"Nixie" drove quill on the ARGUs 10
some time, and there will probably bt
mourning among the fair sex in this city
as elsewhere, over his matrimonial es'
capade. 1t Isn't Mixes nature to set
tie down and keep quiet, but as there is
string to him now, he will undoubtedly b
more subdued than formerly.

HAPPY KEW YEAR.
A Generally oiiet Observance Of the
First Day Of the Year...Ladies'
Day at IN Y. M. G. Az A
Reception.

The new wear WAS inaugurated on the
whole in an unrt ually quiet manner in
Rock Island. The general impression
seemed to prevail about town that the
ladies would mol, as a rule, keep open
house, and accordingly they did not pre-,
mare for the usual humber of calls. A
walk around thesnhore fashionable por-
tons of the city 4howed that there were
not, perhaps, as Hany card baskets hang>
ing from bell knobs as in previous years,
but il is certain Mat not nearly as many
calls were made as usual. That the
custom of making New Years calls is
gradually falling into disuse would seem
to be a natural inference, and it is proba>
able that the mere empty form OF making
miscellaneous calls Is becoming unpopu-
lar
The day was generally celebrated,
however, in quiet way Business was
practically suspended, ell of the leading
houses. both wholesale and retail as vel
as all public houses, being closed for the
day. Appropriate services were held al
| Trinity church in the forenoon. The
Y. NJ. C. A. ROOMS
were thronged all day; fully two hundred
persons did themselves the honor of &C
ceptiug an invitation to paitake of al
elegant collation. which had been spread
and which was accessible to all. The

Mrs. Kaupke, Mrs. j. H. Wilson, Mrs. r
Champion, Mrs. j. d. Warnock, Mrs. A
IL. Morris. and the Misses Ada M. Cooke

rie NJ. Gregg.
