erected on a foundation of funny situations,
and built for nothing on earth but to make
people laugh." And it succeeds in its mission
when presented by company of such first

Maley, Jeppe Delano, Charles K. French and
Harry c. Talbot, and such soubrettes and
sonesters as Fannie Delano, May Gennell and
Ruby Lytton. The medleys, solos, duets, quar-

M R. SULLIVAN is very handy man to have
around in a dramatic company that is
bothered by sheriffs and other legal torments.
Five or six years ago when Sullivan was
playing with Lester and Aliens minstrels. in
New London, Conn.,, the company had trouble
with man from whom bale of hay used in
the performance as property had been bor-
rowed. The hay had not been injured at all-it
was employed to lend realism to plantation
scene-and the owner could have taken 1t back
at the close OF the engagement had he been so
inclined. He had been paid for his trouble in
tickets for the show. but in addition he de-
manded the value of the bale in cash. This was
refused him, and he threatened to attach the
company's effects.
He made good his threat by appearing at the
depot just as the company was getting aboard
the train, breathing all kinds of fearful things.
With him was deputy sheriff, who was noted
in New London as its biggest and ugliest man.
The deputy had the name of being bruiser
as we'll
Sullivan was on the platform when the pair
came up, aud the hay merchant told the
deputy to arrest the big pugilist, rightly deem
ing him to be the most valuable piece of
property belonging to the company. The
deputy walked up to Sullivan and got out the
monosyllable 81" before a remarkably calous
left hand smote him near the jugular and he
fell stunned to the ground. In the subsequent
excitement the train moved out and the hay
man was baked of his prey.
7 T seems to be definitely settled that the work
on the Duquesne Theater is to begin this
week. Mr.. Henderson will arrive on Wednes-
day and the plans will be ihen finally approved.
There is no reason to believe that the actual
erection of the theater will be delayed longer
than is consonant with the opening Of the
house IN October next.

counters ever witnessed in Kentucky.
man from Irvine, the county seat,
yesterday told the following story of
the duel: The principals were Or. Lily
on the one side and John Wilson. a
school commissioner, on the other.
Lily was Republican and Wilson
Democrat. Lily brought a negro
to the polls to vote him, but
Wilson challenged the vote, which was
sustained by the judges. This angered
Lily, and hot words ensued, which re-
suited in both men drawing pistols Lily
was the quickest, and had shot Wilson
twice near the heart before the latter
could get his weapon. Wilson then got
his pistol out and fred two shots, one of
which struck Lilly in the region of the
heart. About this time Wilson's brother
interferred and succeeded in wrestling
Lily's weapon from his hand. Nothing
daunted him, however, and almost in
the throes Of death, Lily drew his knife
and made several stabs at his enemy.
Both fell to the ground, but the terrible
duel was not over. With the last
