The Programme.

THE dramatization of that very popular
novel, "Mr. Barnes of New York" by Mr. A.
Z. Gunter, is taking with the American public.
The great success attending the publication of
the foreign toned, highly colored romance, is
sure to turn the public in favor of its stage
production, which comes from New York, and
will be the attraction at the Bijou the coming
week. The piece is said to be all that is prom
ised for it in the story, and more, it is pictur-
esque, romantic, full of comedy and possessed
of strong dramatic interest which holds the
attention of the spectator from the rise of the
curtain on the first act till its final fall upon the
last scene. The plot in the drama follows that
of the story very closely naturally enough in
asmuch as it is claimed that Mr.. Gunter wrote
the drama first. Be this as IL may the corela-
tionship is pleasant one. His first story as
novel was the most successful Of recent years.
and the drama, the essence Of the story por-
trayed in living action and surrounded by
every perfection of detail which skill and capi-
tai can secure, must please in its way as well if
not better. As a drama. the plot in its course of
action Is shown in four acts after the first cur
tain rises upon Adrind's Corsican home where
Mr.. Barnes Is introduced to Count Ddnelld,
Mdrinds scoundrelly guardian, and the prelim-
inaries upon which depend the subsequent
course of the play. The company presenting
''Mr. Barnesi of New York, is headed by Miss
Emily Rigl, competent actress, whose power
full emotional work has received the indorse-
ment of Pittsburg rheater goers upon several
previous occasions. Mr.. Robert billiard a
young actor known for good and artistic effort
= -
as well as by reason of his rather heroic reputa-
tion as a fighter, and his face and elegance of
ATTIRE is well calculated to assume the role of
Mr. Barnes. The rest of the company includ-
ing Horace Lewis. Miss Effie Germon, Annie
Blanke and Emma Field would seem adequate
to the histrionic representation of the charac-
ters given them, and in keeping with the mag
nifcent environment which is promised.
"THE SHAETY QUEEN" sensational musical
comedy, will be produced for the first time in
Pittsburg at Harris Theater on Monday The
play treats of life in New York some years ago
in the district known as Shanty Town The
heroine prosecuted by the attentions of not
acceptable lover, whose suit is favored by her
uncle and guardian. fees from her home to
reside with Mike Brdnpi0un IT. ]. Farron)
and his mother in Shanty Town, where she is
known as The Shdnty Queen. Here she be-
comes instrumental, with the aid of her uncle's
old retainers, in unearthing a riot which has
implicated her lover in the robbery of her un-
cle's safe. The cast of the company is a good
one. and includes MIR. 7. ]. Farron who will be
remembered by all as the partner of the ia
nous comedians Baker & Farron has a part
which enables him to introduce his well known
speciality songs, dances, etc. Miss Amy Lee in
the character of The Shdnty Queen, is as bright
and fascinating as ever.

Circle Ladies of the G.. A. R., on Wednesday
night was q pronounced success. Addresses
were made by Comrade @. r. Shepler, Com
mander of Post los: H Hon. Alfred Marland, who
said that in the field of Gettysburg he had seen
monuments to cavalry, artillery and infantry,
but not one to the women of the war who suf-
fered more in their Loneliness than their hus-
bands and brothers did in the field. The trio
of Duquesne Heights, George Holiday Henry
Kelly and William Hoffman. gave some agree
able music, and the recitation OF little Sadie
Pare, a 3-year-old elocutionist was warmly ap-
plauded. The duet by Robbie and Nettie
Naysmith, accompanied by Miss Jennie Nay
smith, was one Of the choice pieces of the occa-
sion.
The results of the entertainment were SIG to-
ward the support of the Widows Home at
Hawkins station, the circle having already con-
tributed $40 to that meritorious undertaking.

AIaer,s Memorial Day Order.

Commander-in-Chie Alger's Memorial Day
order is full of an earnest mans patriotic sen
timent. From it is taken the appended:
Better by far that this country have nc
granite shafts than to forget this sacred day,
1t is a living, breathing patriotism, renewed
each year. 1t is monument rebuilt annually
in the hearts of the people. Granite or bronze
monuments are erected but once. IL Is oy Iar
the best lesson of loyalty that could be taught
to the children who are so soon to be the men
and women of the Nation.
BETTER for the Nation that its children and
youth remember this day than that it have
armies as large as those of all Europe.
mo war of disunlon will come to this coun-
try so long as it observes Memorial Day, which,
securely intrenched in the hearts OF the people,
will make the Government safer than a myriad
of forts bristling with cannon.

except that produced by scratching. This dis
ease is always worse at nights increased BY

scratch and tear the parts, frequently causing
a free flow of blood and after restless night
will awaken unrefreshed and mentally de-

all seem disposed to do the square act. Many
national celebrities will witness the parade on
August II. the President and his wife, Cen
erals, the widows of Generals, Gov
ernors, and many distinguished wearers
of the Grand Army badge. Accom-
modations during the festive week at
Boston town will be a scarce article. Large
parts of hotels have already been engaged in
the interest of the coming battle SCARED
veteran. The hotel and restaurant men have
agreed to not raise their rates. The week will
be gala one; receptions. banquets. camp fires,
reunions, excursions and many entertainments
will delight the visitors. A handsome memento
of the occasion will be presented to every mem
