The programs for the thrilling dra-
ma "Colleen Bawn" are being circu-
lated through the city. On the first
page is published the special music
for the opening of the opera house,
the second page gives the cast of the
feals assured that the play will be
presented with unusual dramatic
talent, as tits composed of some of the
young ladies and gentlemen in the
city; the third page contains the sy-
nopsis from which anyone can see
that it is beautiful play, containing
much merit and quite thrilling, being
at the same time mingled with pathos
and humor. Everyone should 90, for
it will be we'll worth the cost of ad-
mission fully as good as the average
drama which will be presented here
this season.
On Saturday last, Yom Kippur day

the custom according to the Hebrew
faith, at this age the boys are con-
firmed, and are supposed afterwards
to make their own way in the world,

downs of life. On yesterday there
was delightful party given at the
family residence by Mrs. G. Lachman
in honor Of her sons confirma ton
A large number of the young mans

Waco Curiosity Shop.
Where is What is What has dme and What il is Gdnr to do!

The Waco Curiosity Shop is at 707
and III Austin street. The Waco Gu
rlosity Shop is the place to buy and
sell all kinds of midland goods.
They carry full and complete stock
of furniture, stoves, lamps glassware,
trunks, sewing machines, and nearly
every al ticle needed for housekeeping.
1t is the place that never tries to hum
bug the people with so-called Cost
Sales, Moving Sales, or other devices
to deceive. 1t is the place where they
can and do sell goods at fair profit
so that there is no accumulation of old
time-worn goods. 1t is the poor mans
friend. The Curiosity Shop was start
ed less than three years ago with less
than small fortune, and good name.
Since then it has sold nearly $4,000
worth Of goods. 1t has helped hum
dreds of people to furnish their homes
when they could not do so in any 9TH
or way. It has continued to grow,
make friends and prosper as no other
house in Waco ever did with same
capital.
Now let me tell you what the Curl
osity Shop is going to do. 1t Is going
to have the best stock of new stoves,
furniture, trunks and general house,
hold goods it ever had. 1t is going to
meet all competition and lead it when
we can. 1t will make special low
prices in new cook and heating stoves
and in the future as in the past, try
to make as many friends as possible,
realizing that it is by our friends we
live. Thanking all for past favors
and our prosperity, we are as ever,
Waco Curiosity Shop.

LEFT FIELDER REILLY.

Charles T. Reilly began his career as
a ball player with the Princeton, N. j.,
Brown Stockings in 1888 and continued
with them until 1886. His first profess
sional engagement was with the Savan-
nah Southern league club in 1887. That
aggregation disbanded in June and
Reilly went to the Eau Claire team, in
which he covered third base. His field
ing is at times marvellous. as many who
attended games in which he played on
the St. Paul grounds last year will tes-
tify. His batting, too, is not one of his
weaknesses by any means. He yields
the willow ferociously. If he hits the
ball it literally cuts the daisies. In a
game last season he hit ball which
struck the ground in the diamond near
Cleveland at third, but it went so fast
that it passed Cleveland, moved down
the grass as itpassed Wilmot in left and
knocked hole in the fence. Reilly is a
young professional player who seems to
have great future before him. 1t is
understood the st. Paul management
will first try him as left fielder.

pitched two seasons for one of the
Waltham, Mass, Watch factory league
clubs, winning every game in which he
played for two years. In 1886 he Offici-
ated in the box for the Rockford, ILL.,,
club, pitching twenty-five games and
losing but four of them. His success at
Milwaukee last year was pronounced,
and, his word for it, he is going to do
much better in 1888. He has been in
training since the holidays, and writes
derson, besides being fair pitcher, is a
good fielder, strong batter, and man
of extra good Judgment on the bases.

THIRD BASEMAN PICKETT.

John Pickett has been professional
ball player for several years, generally
as an infielder. In 1884, when the old
twelve-club Northwestern league was
in existence, he played third base for
the Saltwater team. When Ted Sulli-
van put his Milwaukee club in the field
in 1886, Pickett was member OF it, but
was released to Minneapolis late in the
season. In 1887 he joined st. Paul and
appeared in almost every game during
the year, starting in at first base, going
thence to third, thence to short, and
after Cleveland's injury, back to third.
Early in the year his playing was very
Indifferent, and the management was
once on the eve of releasing him. Sick
ness in his family caused the lapse.
Later OH he became himself again, and
did some very brilliant fielding. Oc-
casionally his pick-ups at short were
phenomenal and won him much hearty
applause. His base running, too, was
timely, speedy and tricky. At the bat
he is but an average man. He hits the
bail almost always, but usually strikes
little low, sending it high into the air
and giving the fielder ample time to get
under it. Pickett's marked characteriS
tics on the field are his watchfulness Of
the umpire and constant attempts to in
fuence his opinions in the home teams
favor by show of great surprise and
Indignation at his decisions.

KANSAS CITY, March 10.-A most sig

Locomotive Engineers and Firemen
was held this afternoon. A reporter
was allowed to attend and report it,.
The principal guest of the brotherhood
was Grand Master G. E. Wilkinson, of
the Brotherhood of Brakemen, who had
come to this city from his home at Pc
oria, Ill. He was introduced by S. NJ.
Stevens, of the fremen's organization.
In his remarks Mr.. Wilkinson said that
the bakemen's brotherhood was COM
paratively young organization, but they
had determined to give their might to
the cause of the engineers and
fremen. The interests OF the
brakemen were identical with
those of the men who have left

the bleaching boards immensely. Joe
was not born. He was found in the ark
under pile of bats, masks and chest
protectors, and helped to introduce base
ball in America as soon as the red men
were cleared off spot large enough for
diamond. He has been playing ever
since, and is one of the best known base
ballists in the country. For many years
he played infeld positions in National
league clubs, finally degenerating into
an umpire. Along in the summer of
1887 he got tired of lodging the cabbage
and carrot bouquets of the sports of the
effete East and accepted an urgent call
to Eau Claire The nine young men
representing the Lumber City had firm
grip on last place, and Joe's hard work
availed not in the attempt to force them
even little way toward the front.
Manager Barnes engaged Quest to
handle the st. Paul men on the field,
and he will begin the season at second
base, where he is entirely at home.

PITCHER VOGEL.

Peter Vogel, who will occupy the box
a portion of the time for the home club
during the coming season, enjoys the
distinction of being the only st. Paul
boy in the team. He is tall, strapping
young fellow, six feet in height and
twenty-three years of age. He was
born in st. Paul and commenced ball
playing when mere boy. He first at
tracted attention as ''twirler'' in the
Reserves, an amateur club of this city,
which never suffered defeat, although
it competed with many of the strongest
clubs throughout the state. This will
be his first year as professional
pitcher, and if he doesn't do well it will
be from nervousness or lack of conf
dence. He has excellent command of
the ball and never loses his head.
Though he makes use of all the curves.
his most effective and deceptive ball is
quick "in-shoot," which has caused
many slugger to retire to his seat after

"Celts VS.. Sasenachs. |"

On Monday evening very close and
interesting game of curling was played
at the Jackson street rink between a
rink of Highlanders and Lowlanders of
the st. Paul Curling club. The match
was for two turkeys, to be given to St.
Luke's hospital, the losing skip to pro-
vide the turkeys. The game was very
exciting throughout. resulting in vic
tory for the ''Hielanmen'' by one point.
Following were the players:
Highlanders- Lowlanders-
Donald Ross, Clarence Smith,
Frank Horn, Allan Black,
e. C. Myron, William Todd,
W. S. Rodger, skip, Is. W.W.Lorimer,skip,1 II.
If there are any other aspirants de-
string to take crack at the "Hielan-

now is their chance. st. Luke's hosp
tai, no doubt, would appreciate another
pair of turkeys.

st. Paul. During his short stay here he
made many friends by his steady
back-stop work. His strength is in his
catching and accurate throwing. He
stands close behind the bat, catches the
ball squarely, straightens up quickly,
and, without moving his feet, sends the
ball on direct line to second base, and
generally in ample time to cut off the
runner. "Baron" Rudolph is charac-
ter on the field. He talks to the UNI
pire with regularity which eXasperates
the latter, but the even-tempered
catcher never forgets to tell him when
a batsman becomes base runner to
''look at that man running inside the
line" Kemmler is about five feet ten
inches high and weighs 40 pounds.
