week, while a good old Irish melo-
drama pleased the audiences at the
Peoples. Mr.. Russell'S new play, "a
Poor Relation" made a decided hit. If
Mr.. Diyey had appeared in fresh role
he would have done better business.

Tuesday evenings, and "A Poor Rela-
ton" Wednesday evening. The re-

One of the most delightful musical
entertainments of the season was Miss
Clara Motifs piano recital at Dyer'S
music rooms last Thursday evening.
The audience was unusually large and
thoroughly appreciative, and the young
who is comparative stranger
in our city, had reason to feel compli-
mented by this popular testimonial to
her musical abilities.

Said well-known manager: "They
say it was paresis that killed John Me
CullOugh, it was pareSIs that killed
Barley Campbell, it is pareSiS that is
killing Tony Hart. that afflicted George
Knight; and now comes the rumOr-God
knows how it Started-that j. NJ. Hill, of
New York, is afflicted in the same man
ner. do not believe that any of these
men were killed or afflicted in the way
that they are said to be. There is en-
tirely too much talk about. this paresis
brought about by questionable dissipa-
ton. There is more mental strain on
the average actor or manager than per
haps the men of most any other profess
sion, and if physicians will take the
trouble TO find out the remedy for over
worked brains, they will be doing the
human race more good than to hide
their complete ignorance of the case by
calling it 'paresis.'

my married life. | met her subse-

'Little Lord Fauntleroy'' has been
dramatIzed, and is having a successful
run in Boston and New York. 1t is a
play that will do great deal of good,
and if stage managers would give more
attention to the production of plays
with sound moral lessons in them the
theaters would be better patronized. A
New York critic, who witnessed the
production Of Little Lord Fauntleroy"
at the Broadway theater, says: 1T
was put before the audience with
realization deeper than any poem could
give il. more intense than any sermon,
more delicate in its appeal to the
hearts most tender emotions than
the echo of any human chord /
ever heard struck upon the stage. We
all know Mrs. Burnett's book, and the
lovely pictures of the Little Lord. But
now he has been born alivel The
sweetheart of the story has walked out
from among its pages, and a period of
childhood is shown us which throbs
with dreamful Renaissance. Every
man who has had good mother will
appreciate this play, and perhaps cry
little. 1t won't hurt him if he doesI
Every loving mother will find memory
that will break away from her with
sob.
The local entertainments arranged

lows: Thursday evening concert by
