"A Soap Bubble"

This is the name of play given
by a company at the opera house
last night. 1t is difficult to see where
they got the name, or why it is called
"a Soap Bubble" unless it be that
1T is so transparently thin that the
object of giving their audiences moth
ing for something can be plainly
seen through it. The company ar
rived late and had to go on the stage
without rest or refreshments, but that
is no excuse for the age of the child
1sh soubrette. She was dressed i'm
regular soubrette fashion, short
skirts, plenty of petticoat rick rack
showing and black stockings galore.
She had flossy hair and fiossy WAYS.
The leading lady was very beanti--
full, If you don't care what YOU saw.
and has very little singing voice
The Irish maid had no brogue, but
she had fine bust. The barber
shop scene was the only part of the
play that approached fun, but it was
TOO long drawn out. Take Connolly
out of the company and it will fail

afternoon, and tonight the company

Tomorrow night "Ingomar, the

A meeting of the local committee of

Der Bowsky.
VIM. Benton, a colored barber who
has been employed in Mr.. E. L.
Bowsky's barber establishment on
Soledad street until last night, when
he was discharged, is now in the
county Jail under bond of 81, 900 to an.
swer the charge of making an assault
to murder Mr.. Bowsky.
Mr.. Bowsky, who is a German and
lives on Lavaca street, was in his
horse lot this morning saddling his
pony preparatory to going to his place
of business, when Benton, climbe the
back fence and suddenly facing Mr.,
Bowsky, asked him if he wanted him
to go to work for him again. Mr..
Bowsky told him no, and that the
money due him was at the shop ready
for him. Without more ado the dar-
key began work on his late employer,
putting a hole in his head over the
right ear with some sharp instru-
ment, MASKING his left ear in to a Jelly.
and laying open the flesh over the
right eye, in front of the temple. He
also split Mr.. Bowsky's hand between
two OF the fingers. After serv-
ing the boss barber in this man
ner the negro escaped, and Mrs,
Bowsky came to her husbands as
sistance and helped him into the
house. A physician was sent for and
attended to his injuries, while Justice
McAllister was summoned and took
Mr.. Bowsky's affidavit against his
assailant. Constable Martinez soon
captured the fellow out near the In
ternational railway depot, where he
was waiting for train, by which to
leave the city.

Soap Bubbles That VIII Last.

Soap Bubbles That VIII Last,
From 'ldeu bays
To make soap bubbles that will
last for several hours is easy enough
if the following liquid be used:
Dissolve one part by weight of
Marselles soap, cut into thin slices,
in forty parts of distilled water, and
filter. Call the filtered liquid A and
mix two parts of pure glycerine with
one part of the solution A, in a tenn
perature of 66o Fahrenheit, and, af-
ter shaking them toge her long and
violently, leave them to rest for some
days. A clear liquid will settle, with
a turbid one above. The lower to be
sucked out from beneath the upper
with slphon, taking the utmost
care not to carry down any of the
latter to mix with the clear fluid.
A bubble blown with this will last
for several hours, even in the open
air. Or the mixed liquid, after stand
ing twenty-four hours, may be filter
ed.

Dressed In aDaY.

From the Canadian Journal of Fabrics.
On June IS, 1911, the quickest work
in tailoring ever known was accom-
plished. Sir John Trockmorton, a
Berkshire Baronet. had offered to lay
wager of 1000 guineas that at 8
O'Clock of particular evening he
could sit down to dinner in we'll
woven, well-dyed, well-made suit,
the wool of which had been on the
backs of the sheep at 5 O'Clock that
morning. Accordingly at 5 a. IN. on
June 2S two SOuthdown sheep were
shorn; the wool washed, carded,
stu obed, roved, spun and woven;
the cloth was secured, fulled, tented
raised, sheared, dyed and dressed,
the tailor was at hand and made up
the finished cloth into garments:
and at 6:15 in the evening the baro-
net sat down to dinner in a complete
damson-colored suit that had been
thus underwriting the wager with
an hour and three-quarters to spare.
or course every possible preparation
had been made beforehand, but still
the achievement was sufficiently re-
markable, and was talked of with
pride by tailors for years afterwards.
