Charles Arnold. in his great English
success Hans, the Boatman, will be seen
at the opera house Monday evening. Al
ter a three years successful run of this
play in England. where it was first pro
duced, and in Australia. New Zealand
and Tasmania, Mr.. Arnold appeared for
the first time in this country IN Chicago,
Sept. s. The Inter Ocean, of that city.
speaking of the performance says:
Hans, the Bodtman is a very pleasing
comedy drama, and one of the most sat
isfactory PLAYS written by Mr.. Clay M.
Green. Mr.. Charles Arnold, who ap.
pears in the title role, is a yonng actor
in whom it is easy to become interested.
The play Is admirably constructed. is
unusually well balanced in characters, and
is brightly written and plentifully pro-
vided with entertaining incidents.
A remarkable child little May Hannah,
is an important factor of the performance.
She plays several parts, but suggests SO
little Of the coached infant phenomenal
in the Joyful naturalness of her entering
into the work to be done, that customary
objections to child actors are forgotten
and one welcomes her presence into a

THE CASE.
II Ends Favorably for the Defendant
and WITH an Incident.

There was quite a scene in court last
evening when the McNulty trial termin-
ated. The prisoner, a sergeant in the
18th, was arrested seven months ago on
the charge of a bestial assault. A verdict
of guilty of a plain assault was returned
and a fine of $50 imposed and paid. Nc.
Nulty was given some good advice by the
Judge and was warmly congratulated by
about a hundred triends in attendance.
He is a bright, Rentlemanly young fell
10y. very popular with officers and men.
While Col. Rittenhouse, a counsel for
defense, was making his argument sew
eral men in the audience applauded Wig
%orously. One, a soldier. was brought be-
fore Judge VanDevanter and sent to Jail
thirty days for contempt. The testimony
Of II woman who was the chief witness
for the prosecution wal considerably weak

his innocence all along and stood by him
nobly. He has vowed never to drink

A Card.

CHEYENNE, Nov. 20, 18S6.-Dear Boys
and Girls of the Public Schools: Could
your good New England fathers look
down upon you to-day how proud they
would be. The spirit that filed them
with gratitude to Almighty God for His
goodness, has found a warm and true ex-
preston by you. in your generous gifts to
the needy.
We. the ladies of the Relief Associa-
ton have no words in which to thank you
as we would. You have helped us in our
blessed work far beyond our expectations,
and we shall know now where the warm
est hearts are to be found. If this had
been an exhibit for a fair your apples and
potatoes would have taken the premium
SO large and beautiful they were.
There are at least ITO people whose
Thanksgiving day will be frightened by
your gifts. We prophesy everything
good for the Freshman class OF '8e.
Their sack OF -four. SO full of
the most useful of all gifts, shows
their practical sense and united good will.
The little girl who was thoughtful enough
to put the piece of soap in her basket is,
we are sure, a neat little housekeeper.
The Youths Companion will be a
pleasant winter friend for a young boy
who is already the only support of his
mother and sick father. The candy heart
