An Adrnnce in Estahlcs-

New YORK, February 1S.-An early rise
in the price of most camel goods will be
one of the first results of the national con-
vention of representatives of that industry,
to be held in Indianapolis. Already the
largest grocery houses of this city are be-
ginning to revi their price lists and it Is
said that upon many products which are in
active demand the ad ance will be as much
az 20 per cent. In justification it is con-
tended that present prices are ruinously
low. 1t is not probable, however, that the
advance will go into effect until the trust
has been completed.

Fun In Bakery by n Miserably Poor
Company.
some days ago one of our contemporaries
stated that the management of the opera
house had secured a good attraction for
primary election night so that persons who
wished to wait for the returns could he
entertained for couple of hours. This
attraction was billed to play "Fun in
Bakery" aud last week they had
posted lot of cheap looking printing
with stock Autographs and three sheets o:
"The Masc0tte" aud other operas. There
was very small audience at the opera
house TO see the attraction which had been
secured, after 10 much trouble, but those
who were there became sick and disgusted
with the play and company. There were
one or two people in the lot who could act,
while the others were miserable lot OF
sticks who should have been driven from
tho town by tho police instead of being
allowed TO perform in q first -class theatre.
II was one OF the poorest shows of the sea-
son, and as they are billed to appear in
Columbia tonight the citizens of that tow n
are warned of their approach. The amuse
lnents In the big borough have nearly all
been bad this year, but this one is a prize
taker in that line. The company look s
very much like u " snap" organization to
do small towns.
