ADJUSTMENTS
"Tho EditOr.o

EO1COf.'
Louis Aldrich in ''The Editor" is the
legend that will doubtless attract theatre
goers to the opera house on next Mon
day evening. Mr. Aldrich whose imper-
sonation of Joe Sanders in my Part
mel" has become a matter of record of
the American stage, will play the title
role of 1.-The Editor" impersonating Col
Hawkins of Arizona, the publisher and
editor of 1.-The American Eagle, broad
shouldered, of rugged habits and
brusque exterior, but with a heart as
as brave as lion. The comedy is said
to be one of the cleverest of the day.
ga Little Busybody.'
So great is the clamor from all parts of
the country for the services of the talent
ed little actress Ullie Akerstrom, that her
annual engagement in this city will be
| for one day only instead of a week as
formerly. She will be seen at Jacques
opera house, Saturday next at both u
matinee and evening performance, when
her latest success "A Little Busybody''
will be given.
Gilmore's Band.
| Gilmore's band, with all the custom
airy fine music and popular surprises of
at the opera house last evening by a
large audience. 1t takes somebody like
Gilmore to drop in occasionally and
stir up the musical forces and he always
does it efectually. Besides the ensemble
playing many of his famous instrument
alists were heard in solo numbers and
the vocal contingent received well
merited applause. Miss Ida Klein is a
remarkably. pure and fiery soprano
Henri Koeke, tenor. possesses pure
strong and sympathetic voice of good
range. Edward O'Mahony, the basso
was recalled twice by the delighted au
dience.
Sacred Heart Choir.
Another large audience were enter
tanned by the members of the SacreC
Heart church choir, at City hall las
evening. The drama kathleen Ma
vourneen" was produced in a very
creditable manner and the laughable
farce, "At School with OToole" kept al
hands in good humor. The singing was
of course, a leading feature of the enter
tainnlent.

AT A MASQUERADE.
How MIR. Blank Fooled His Bett Half
to His Own Satisfaction.


to His Own Satisfaction.
It was in a town not a thousand miles
from Boston that there were recently
given a couple Of masque parties
at private houses, says the Boston Cour-
Ter. At the second of these tho hostess
Of the first party found herself talking
very amiably with mask in whom she
supposed herself to recognize a gentle
man who had como to the town just
after her own entertainment. Simply
for the sake Of making conversation,
and Of throwing the gentleman off the
scent of her own identity, she asked:
"Were you at Mrs. Blanks masque
party?"
mo" he answered, 81 was not on
ored with an invitation"
"Were you here at the timc? ,he
asked.
YES" he answered, "but Mrs. Blank
does not like me-"
CONSERVATION seized upon Mrs. Blank,
but she instantly determined not to be-
tray herself.
doesn't she?" she returned careless
ly. Probably that is one Of the things
which you imagine. Some people are
always supposing that others do not like
them, you know"
Her companion seemed triflo an
noyed.
81 am not one Of that Sort" he retort-
ed. rather brusquely. Besides, she
has intimated to me that she did not
like me-"
sis it fair to ask how?" Mrs. Blank
asked. entirely mystified in regard to
the identity Of her interlocutor.
"Why, should not mind telling you
If I were sure that you wouldn't repeat
it."
"Oh, l never betray confidence" the
lady said eagerly.
The gentleman leaned over until his
face under its mask was near to hers.
~ asked her to marry me-"
Mrs. Blank was moro startled than
ever. The train Of her old suitors, and
in her day she had had not few, came
up before her mental vision, and she
wondered which one Of them chance had
brought to her side tonight, but in vain.
But" she said, slowly, "because a
lady refused you it need not follow that
she disliked you. am sure q woman is
not to be supposed to dislike every man
she does not wish to marry. That would
be most absurd assumption"
ITO be sure it would" he assented,
cheerfully; "but in this particular case
she did not refuse me-"
Ibid not refuse your echoed Mrs.
Blank in establishment. "She certainly
did not accept your"
THAT is precisely what she did do"
''It is not" Mrs. Blank began; and
then considering that if she said true 1t
would be showing more knowledge OF
Mrs. Blanks affairs than was compati-
BILE with pretending to be another per-
son. she changed her sentence and said:
''creditable that she should accept you
and then marry another man."
"She didn't, Kate" her husband said
in his own voice, "she married me-"
"Tom!' she cried.
Eyes, my DEAR" Tom answered, "you
told me at our party that couldn't fool
you"
You are q wretch and a monsterl'
she declared, land l will never forgive
you"
But she did, and told the joke at her
own expense before the evening was
over.
