A Full House.

j. X. Emmett, in the famous play,
"Our Fritz last night, played to a
very full house, fully justifying his we'll
established reputation as the prince Of
comedians. He was received with
enthusiasm and the play has lost none
of its old attractions. The large au-
dience was delighted beyond measure.
A novel feature was the introduction
in the play of a massive St. Bernard
dog, one of the finest OF that famous
breed. The big crowd on such night
as last night, is tattering testimonial
to the actor and play, and showed what
hold both have on public favor. The
play will be repeated tonight and it is
safe to say the audience will be re-
peated and most likely greatly aug.
mented.

their unequaled energy, contemplate

fered by Philo talent, while each NON.

Invitations will be issued for same.
The massive St. Bernard dog, Pin.
limmon, a prominent feature of the
play of Our Fritz, was taken an airing
on the streets this morning and excit-
cd great attention. An idea of the
massive size of the animal may be
gathered from the fact that several OK.
cited boys asked what animal it was
and were incredulous when told it was
a dog. The superb animal has a re-
markably gentle and intelligent look
and to see him is treat to those who
never saw one Of this rare breed, famed
the world over in song and story.

Col. r. j. Sledge and the Sugar
Factory.


l fear our citizens do not fully realize
the Importance Of the sugar factory
proposed by Col. r. j. Sledge. l
claim no special knowledge Of the
plan of making sugar out Of sorghum
beyond the ell.known fact that siml-
lar factories in other places have prov
en- to be splendid investments.
But do know Col. Sledge intimate
ly as a man, a citizen and fnancier,
and he is success. He has, more than
any other man, built up the beautiful
village Of Kyle, with its churches and
schools. No man in Texas has the
confidence of more farmers than Col.
Sledge. He is man of fortune, and
knows how to make and invest money.
If the sugar factory is located here he
will probably become citizen Of Waco.
One such man as Col. Sledge is worth
100000 to Waco. He would at
once BECOME co-laborer Of such noble
public spirited men as Jas. B. Baker,
Ed. Rotan, VIM. NJ. Cameron and 9th
ers to whom Waco owes her present
prosperity.
Then trust every man who feels
an interest in the future prosperity Of
Waco will lend a helping hand to the
Waco Sugar Factory.

WEDDING BELLS.
The Marriage Of Mr.. Early and

brated.

At Christ church last evening was
solemnized one of the most fashionable
weddings that has occurred in that
sacred edi6ce for years, the contracting
parties being Mr.. a. J. Early, of Waco,
and Miss Cora p. Morris, of Houston.
The church was filled to its utmost ca.
pacity, there being many who could not
gain admittance to witness the nuptial
ceremony. A canopy stretched from
the street to the main entrance, under
which carpet was laid along the entire
walk. The interior of the building
was beautifully decorated with flowers
and evergreens, furnished and design
ed under the supervision of Mr.. Wright
The bride and groom stood under a
large and handsome floral bell, which
was composed of the choicest Gala ILL.,
les, camelia japonicas, while the tongue
was one solid ball Of sweet viOlets.
The bridal party reached the church at
1870 o'clock in the following order, the
ushers leading: Messrs. Spencer
Hutchins and L. T. Tune, H. R. Dupre
and Paul Tlmpson, DR.. r. w. Knox
and B. r. Latham. Then came Mr..
A. G. Riffel and Miss H. Perl, Mr.. B.
P. Morris and Miss Abbie Hill, Mr.. 81
Packard and Miss Kate Bolts, Mr.. Lee
Wilson and Miss Wettermark, Mr.. VIM.
L. Hallpike and Miss Libbie Shearn,
and Mr.. Robert Brooks and Miss
frankie Graham, Of Waco. Mr.. Early
followed with Mrs. J. r. Morris, the
mother of the bride, leaning on his
arm, and last came the bride resting
on the arm of her brother, Mr.. Robert
Morris. Arriving at the altar she took
the arm of her future husband, and Rev.
G. M. Beckwith in an impressive man
ner read the beautiful marriage core
mony Of the Episcopal church, and
pronounced them man and wife. On
retiring the bridal party came out in
reverse order, and the following young
ladies joined in the joyous procession
Misses Lucy Morris, Bessie Hill, Rosa
Cave, Lille Rice, Jennie McAshar
and Mary Caldwell. The occasion was
appropriately observed at the house OIL
the bride, which was also beautifully
decorated. Mr.. and Mrs. Early left
on the 1885 a. m. train for New Or
leans, where they will remain sevcra
days.

She Looked Distinguished.

NeWsbOys naturally develop q quick
ness at reading faces as well as free
dom in asking and answering questions.
One of this class was pedding his
wares In a railway train, and in pass
ing back and forth was struck with the
appearance of a woman. She looked
distinguished, and as he dumped his
paper-cOvered novels into the laps of
the other passengers, he passed her
by.
At last his curiosity got the better
of all other considerations. He found
among his books one by Mrs. Stowe,
and on his next trip he proffered it to
the very dignifed lady, but she de-
clined it.
Excuse me, said the boy, "but aim
you Mrs. Stowe?"
The stranger shook her head and dis
claimed the compliment. The boy
went down the aisle, but on his return
he stopped again.
"Then perhaps you're Mrs. Stanton %
The woman smiled, and again shook
