Opera Hat in Court.

A novel suit has been brought against
the management of the Berwick Opera
House by Henry Hilbert of that town.
Mr.. Hilbert purchased ticket for a
performance held there, but was pre-
vented from witnessing the show by the
immense hats worn by two ladies sitting
directly in front of him. He politely
asked the young ladies' to remove their
hats which was refused and his appeal
to the usher met with no better success.
He then went to the box office and
demanded the return of the money but
was informed that settlement had been
made for the performance with the
company and his money could not be
refunded. Thereupon Hilbert brought
suit against the manager to test his
rights. The outcome will be watched by
theatrical managers, as this is the irst
ase in which the opera hat has reached
the courts, though it has frequently
lessened mems chances of salvation.

were Mercer and Mcclellan, for the

The game between the JeaRnetteS

Wheeling still can play ball. The Jean
nettes claim the amateur championship
Of Pennsylvania, and had been winning
games from crack teams without inter-
ruptiOn until they struck Wheeling.
They were very sore over their defeat.
1t is the opinion Of good judges that
the management Of the local teams
should combine them under one head.
Taking the strongest players and plac-
ing them properly Wheeling could have
a team she would be proud of. With
Hydinger, Davis, Henry and Reiver as
pitchers, Fisher, Flnnegan and Miller
catchers, with the other talent at hand,
the Ohio Valley League pennant would
soon be in sight.
The electric motor operators aud con-
ductOrs crossed bats yesterday after
noon, on the brickyard grounds for the
third time, and the operators scored
their third successive defeat. They
went into the game, slightly disfgur-

ductors were again victorious. They
are beginning to think they know a
thing or two about the game, and now
want TO meet the policemen.
