1t would be a splendid idea to hold court
at Corinne for three months in year. Cor
inne, Promontory and vicinity would furnish
the bulk of the cases, and mileage of wit

Aimee in "Mam' zelle'' drew out only a
fair sized audience at the Theatre last
evening, and those present were not over
please with the performance. The p lay Is a
pleasing one and has many good points, but
it loses much by its translation into the
heavier English language "Divorcons'' was
played this afternoon to Il small audience
and was apparently we'll appreciated.
The Home Dramatic Club is working hard

The piece made great hit on the occasion
of its last production, and there is every
reason to believe that the next performance
will be even greater success. Wells and
Spencer will appear in their inimitable

Captain Greenman seems TO have way of
getting up little mutual admiration society
with every family of cohabs he is called
upon to pull. This morning at the close of
the Corbett examination, he stated to Judge
Mckay that the family had treated him very
nicely, and that the old man had come up to
court alone, At this point the defendant

he is treated by the officers in the perform
