by appointment at o'clock in the
morning and boarded locomotive for

An English sarma,d's Prank.

1t will be remembered by newspa
per readers SAYS the Washington i25t.
that within the last year Il certain Mary
land millionaire named Dupont mar
ried barmaid in the city of Queens
town who was popularity known as
''Tottie." This young woman was
not strikingly handsome. but she was
generally credited N Queenstown with
possessing one of the sharpest tongues
In ireland.
When ''Tottie" was taken away from
the Queens hotel by her American
husband she was succeeded by young
woman named Miss White. who was
scarcely less original in her remarks
than her predecessor had been. 1t
must he borne in mind that 4 young
woman loses nothing in social caste by
by being barmaid in Ireland. Not
long since an Engiishman who was
stopping ut the Queens hotel presumed
on Miss Whites freedom of speech.
He stood leaning upon the bar and
gradually moved his f,ce closer to
Miss Whites ruddy cheek. By the
merry twinkle in the barmaid's eye it
could readily be seen that she dis
cerned that he wanted to kiss her. His
lips were slowly but surely approach
ing the barmaid's rounded cheek. while
her right hand as slowly and as surely
encircled the neck of a decanter which
stood on the bar. When his lips had
approached to within one inch of her
cheek she suddenly raised the bottle
and poured its cold contents down the
back of his neck. Then springiDg
lightly backward she exclaimed with .
merry laugh:
Il though. ye were gettin' tribe
WarEum. sir. and I'd cool yer ardor."

and comedy are nicely bound together by
the author. Phil Gordon, the simple

the flower of early womanhood, and
Will Dawson, the scheming villain COM

and is one of the best characters on the
stage. Miss Coleman is a bright, pretty
little actress attractive and conscien.
tious in her playing of part that is
easily made fiat and silly. Her rendi
tion of the Colonel's niece, half grown
girl, brought up without the advantages

pulsive and warm hearted, is very nicely
done. Mr. Wood. as the villain, plays
the part very well. Miss Jennie Ward
Is good as the bugler and sings several
bright little songs. She has rather
thankless part and handles it very
nicely. Beacon Lights is an enjoyable
performance and will undoubtedly do a
good business. Much praise should be
