Boys Adventures.
The "Great Western" Ministries, com.
posed largely Of Wheeling talent, gave q
very fair show at the Academy Saturday
afternoon aud evening. The boys have
been telling some rosy stories since they
came in of the road but murder will
out" This is the Fairmont WrA VrgniG'S
version Of their collapse:
About two weeks ago q minstrel troupe
was organized in Wheeling and started on
the road. II was composed OF pretty lair
talent and called the Great Western Com
binAtion, but times being hard, and the
manager being . little too economical In
his advertising, it did not draw well. The
troupe Travelled over considerable terri
tory, and, on reaching Greensboro, Greene
county, Pa, the manager deserted II, and
the goods and chattels OF each individual
member were attached for board. Last
Sunday night or early on Monday morn
ing eight or ten members OF the OTganiZa-
tion reached this place, having walk
ed through the mud from Nor
gantoWn, Their penniless condition
was soon ascertained, and they were pre-.
vailed on by some OF our young citizens to
give an entertainment at the rink, it being
supposed that a crowd would be drawn
there by sympathy, Accordingly an en-
tertRinment took place on Monday even
ing, butthey failed to make money enough
to take them home. However, before the
entertainment was concluded they were
relieved Of their embarrassment by re-
celying notice from Wheeling friends that
arrangements had been made for their
transportation home, and on Tuesday
morning they left light.hearted and free.
They may start out on the road Rgain some
time, but 1t will doubtless be under q diff
ferent manager.
1t is only fair to the boys to say that
they have greatly strengthened their be,
fore CreditRble organization, and viii!
again take the road with an unsurpassed
troupe under the name Of Pera, Johnson
Bliss and 0'Keetts's Specially Company,

Au Attractive EagagSmSut his week ut the
Academy,

Au Attractive EnEagSmsut this week ut the
Academy,
This evening Edith Sinclair and a care
fully selected company Will open a weeks
engagement at Charley shay's Academy
in a new musical comedy, "a Box OF
Cash." A Chicago paper says Of it; The
mirth.provoking comedy, "a Box OF
Cash, " drew another large audience at the
Opera House last night, That Chicago
knows q good thing when she sees 1t was
clearly proven by the almost continuous
roars Of laughter and the frequent hearty
applause that greeted 1t, The piece
abounds in comic situations, and each
move made by the inimitable Timothy
0'Hara (Mr. Ed. NJ. Favor Is sufficient to
elicit a round OF applause and ungtinted
laughter. The company is certainly one
OF the best that has appeared at this
theatre since the opening, and the smuse'
mentioning public should certainly not
allow this opportunity to pass without
witnessing "a Box Of Cash" with all its
s~ide.splittIng adiunCts and accessories.
Those who are occasionally troubled with
the blues should take advantage otthe old
maxim, "Laugh and grow lat" Miss
Edith Sinclair is a charming young actress,
prepossessing and pretty with a decided
amount Of clio, and wins her way imme-
diately to public favor. The inevitable
was on hand, and with her ,"PeckiAh'
tricks kept the audience in continued
laughter. II is a pleasant thing 10 be able
to praise, without qualification, any com
pany visiting Chicago, and inthis instance
we can do go with confidence that the pub
lie will endorse our judgment OF the merits
Of the performance, For a clear, we'll
presented, really humorous comedy, In
which there Is a laugh for all, "a Box OF
Cash" 10 far above the average, and, In
addition to the funny business, which Is
the best and freshest Of It's kind, there Is
yocalism that II does n good to liBten to.

TO The Editor Cttht IN 'tllVeNeer.
Sin: The series OF Lsnten discourses
on Science and Revelation which are
being delivered by Bishop Kahn at the Ca.
thedral evsry Sunday afternoon, should,
| think, awaken o deep interest among
both Christians and earnest inquirers gen.
orally.
A new Gospel is being promulgated in
our day by certain eminent advanced
thinkers" and scientists, who, by specious
arguments, would iain convince the world
that the Mosaic narration Of creation is q
fable, that matter is eternal, and that
even the very existence Of God himself
can be dlsproved with q box Of chemicals.
The leading periodicals, both In this Coun.
try and In Europe, TEEN with articles
from these apostles Of modern thought,
and the sCepticism produced thereby Is
much greater than many would suppose.
To be all "exaCt thinker" under this
new theory, one must bold, among other
things, that humanity Ia adorable and O
belief In an all holy Colds a degrading 81.
perstltion.
The design OF the Bishop, as l take II, Is
To fortify the Christian by 4 refutation OF
the dangerous and perniCious assumptions
Of these modern teachers, and 10 prove
that the Biblical cosmogony Is perfectly
|reconCilable with the teachings OF true
science. The writer cannot but feel that
the Bishop iB engaged In q grand work,
and that those who may be fortunate
enough to hear these learned lectures will
be amply repaid for their attendance. Z.

The Canton Way.

A year or two ago, Chi Whang, a
a rustler of Canton, China, organized
a steamboat line and induced several
American residents of Canton to in
vest in stock, promising dividend
of fifteen per cent. per annum.
Last fall, when the year expired,
there was an inquire about dividends,
but Chi Whang pleaded unlocked for
expenses, unthought of accidents,
and the general depression of bust
ness. In fact, it was regular Jay
Gould report, but the stockholders
refused to swallow it. An appeal
was taken to the courts, Chi-Whang
convicted of securing money under
false pretenses, and in the course Of
week the stockholders were notified
to turn out and see the gentleman
beheaded.
"You no gette dividends he no
keepee his head !" grinned the execu-
tianer as he held up the CORY orna-
ment.
We hope the rule won't be appli-
ed in this country. Heads would be
80 thick after few months that night
pedestrianism would become dan
gerous.
