 AT PROCTOR'S.
 "The Two Sisters" will make it's third
 appearance at Proctor's opera house on
 Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday even-
 ings, 18th, 10th and 2Oth, with matinee
 Wednesday afternoon. The Bridgeport
 Post said of it: It is a play which con-
 veys moral and is destined to become
 success, for it is one of the kind that ap-
 peals strongly to the noble nature of
 man and teaches him lesson for good.
 It is novel play, reversing the order of
 things. There has been nothing pirated
 into the four acts from sensatiOnalism
 It is story of home, is interesting, in-
 structive and satisfactory. The Stand
 ard said, There never has been seen in
 this city cleaner dramatic performance,
 nor one which conveys a more whole some lesson to young men and women
 than that of "The Two Sisters There
 is no effort to produce sensation of any kind In this piece, but simply to portray life as it is in way that shall seem nat ural and realistic.'' To which the New York Graphic added, ''The story gives etchings of city life and the doings of plain everyday people whose very home Illness makes them interesting. The and itor forgets that it is make believe af- fair and enters into the spirit as though all that transpired was actual and of per sonal interest. This secret charm is sure to make friends and keep them and will tide the play to distinguished success. It ranks among the most beautiful and healthy productions ever introduced
 Of Ellis, whose Casper is produced at Proctor's, this week Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, the New York Union said, "Fhe audience crowded eve ry part of the house. The performance of the role of Casper (which in it's gener- al style resembles Emmet's Fritz) by Charles T. Ellis was eminently satisfac- tory. Natural, easy and sympathetic,
 the clever and versatile actor wins upon
 his audience through the perfect devel-
 opment of the sentiment of the play,
 which is crystallized in one of Casper's
 lines, 'I vos at home init der schildrens. ain't it?"
 Thursday evening, 2lst, grand con- cert will be given under the personal su- pervision of Miss Hoyey, daughter of
 Rev pr Hovey. A grand bill has been secured for the event and it promises to be the social hit of the season.
 Friday and Saturday, 22d and 23d, the
 popular musical comedy, "A Lucky Pen- n.y." will be given at Proctor's.
 Roundsman Anderson and Officer Dali ley pleaded not guilty to the charges against them, at the hearing, last week and laid their animus to the spite of Ed

 A three-story factory, some 30x75 feet, is being built by the Thomson-Langdon Corset Co.,, which will be used for the manufacture of corset steels. It is to be independent of the main factory and will have n separate engine, though steam is brought from the large new
 boilers in the main engine room. New engines are also being placed in the old
 factory. II. H. Nettlehon is doing the work.
 . In order to make room for it's inereas-
 ing trade, the Burns Silver Co. has been
 compelled to remove the stairs from the
 center of the factory to one end, utilizing the space for more machinery. II. H. Nettleton has nearly finished the job. An lsx60 addition to the factory of the Glines & Holmes Manufacturing Co. has been demanded by the increasing orders of the firm. The new room is in the real of the old shop and is used partly fol f storage, at present. The office has beer moved to this part, where 10x18 cherry , there Is private entrance from Soutf , avenue. The firm is running with 12 te IA men and is crowded with work. Tn, , ssBossr shoe stretcher, invented and pat r ented by Horace Glines, senior membe q of the firm, Is manufactured here ant

 that six more punches were to be adde ,r and concluded by saying. "How's tha B. for man GO years old?''
