Last evening all audience that filled
every seat in the Opera House wit
messed the presentation Of VIM. Gill
let's masterpiece of modern comedy,
"The Private Secretary" by the COM
pany under the direction of Mr.. Ed
win Travers. The cast-Was in every
way worthy the hearty reception
given them by our best theatre-goers
last night. The play is one that has
been presented before in Oil City, but
seems to grow in popularity with
each representation. 1t is bright,
quick and enormously funny, holding
closely the attention of the audience
throughout its entire length. 1t is
difficult to give praise impartially
where the cast is so evenly balanced
as the Travers company, but the Rev.
Robert Spaulding of Mr.. VIM. Fair
banks, certainly merited special COM
mendation while the Cattermole OF
Harry Eytinge, the Gibson of e. j.
Mack, the Douglas of Edwin Travers.
the Miss Ashford of Bertha Livings-
ton, and the Edith of Miss Violet
Black, won great favor with the audi
ence; in fact the entire cast was ex-
cellent.-Oil City Blizzard.

A Cats Toes.

Chow many toes has q cat?" This
was question asked of class in one of
the schools last week. 1t appears simple
enough, but difficulty was found answer
ing it. For a while everyone in the
school was stumped, when one of the
teachers, determined not to be beaten
by so simple question, hit on the idea
of sending out a delegation of boys to
scour the neighborhood for cat. When
this idea was announced the whole class
wanted to join in the hunt. Several
boys went out and soon returned sue
cessfnl. A returning board was at once
appointed, and the toes counted, when,
to the relief of all, it was found that a
cat possesses eighteen toes, ten on the
front and eight on the hind feet.-Astor-
