PRINCE KARL.

This meritorious drama was repeated at
the matinee yesterday aud again last even
ing to large audiences, and with the same
satisfactory result which marked its first
production, Friday evening. The features
Of German life portrayed through its four
acts are very unusual ones TO those whose
only knowledge has been derived from the
usual burlesqUe of the American stage, and
the role essayed by Dir. Mansfield Was a
revelation to nine-teDths Of his audience.
The play, aside from the feature just men
toned, is an interesting one, the love story
running through it being well calculated
to excite the attention of all, and no pro-
duction of recent years has achieved the
celebrity the future seems to hold for IL.

Among her other sources of pride Spring

Among the best known contributions TO

Beadle's Half Dime Library. and the title
OF it is The Rival Giants of Nowhar or the
Brothers League" by John W. Osbon,
author of innumerable other works of sim
liar character. On the cover of the novel
was picture of two gloomy looking des-
psrados, with moustaches waxed to within
al inch Of their lives. and whose fac, S
showed them TO be possessed with an utter
ly impossible amount Of hate for each other.
The lip of one desperate is curled around
like cornucopia with scOrn, as he Kisses out
the sentence under the picture: $50 you
are Gold Gabe, king Of the Mowhar, are
yOu,' said he as he grated his teeth, his
burning eyes never wsvering in their hate
ful stare" Gold Gabe evidently acknowl-
rdged the corn for he is represented as glsr-
ing at his defied with a look calculated TO
utterly annihilate him. The picture leaves
them in this uncomfortable attitude of NOR
tally defying each other, probably in
the hope of inducing small boys
to invest their pennies to see how Gold
Gabe and his rival kissed and made up, on
the last page Of the book. The story opens
in thrilling style, and in order that the pub
lie may form a Just estimate of their fellow
citizens literary style, it may be well to
note this opening. 1t is as follows:
''Heur me pilgrims. vile my royal trump
does sound; list ye to tn kingly edictI
| Il Shasta Sam, pr claim myself King of
NOwhar."
The huge form of the speaker loomed up
in the doorway of the Fair Play, the prin-
cipal saloon and gambling hell of the iso-
lated Idaho mining camp of Nowhar. Each
Of his brawny hands clasped the shining
butt Of heavy self-cocking revolver.

ries sell well and that he is popular writer

man and no one would suspect his abilities

All this bitterness which has grown ont
of the Murphy meetings in this city is not
only unfortunate but it will exert vast in
jury TO the temperance cause. am sorry
to say that it seems to be the prohibition
lists who have stirred up the trouble. Muir
ply came to Springfield and held what all
admit to have been ten of the most remark
able temperance meetings in the history of
this city. You were there, prohibitionist.
Did you hear the word ''prohibitionist," :"
democrat" or republican" fall from Mr..
Murphy's lips during the course of the
meetings? Did he reyile you or your party?
Did he revile any pat;? Did he not de-
vote himself entirely to inducing his audi
ences to sign the pledge?
The movement was wonderfully success
full. Several men VINO everyone IN Spring
field knows were drifting to destruction
signed the, pledge and are keeping it. DIR.
Leonard himself endorsed the meetings and
said he was profoundly interested in the
work. Other prohibtionists teok active
part in it and helped tie the blue ribbons
on the coat lappels of pledge signers. As
soon as Mr.. Murphys back was turned and
his powerful presence gone from among us,
we find these prohibitionists engaged in a
TRADE against Murphy's work. Is not this
inconsistent?
