The Grand Opera House this week will have
. novelty of a most amusing nature in the nrst
production in this city of the latest farce
comedy success, "The U. s. Mail" George O.
Jenks. the wel-known Pittsburg journalist. in
spirit of revenge for the careless delivery Of
a letter addressed to him, wrote short skit on
the possibilities of postal mismanagement.
This he quickly adopted to the popular demands
of a farce comedy, and In ~. s. Mail" are said
to be some OF the most laughable features to be
found in his form Of entertainment.
"The O. =. Maip' has made prodigious sue
cess wherever 1t has been presented, and as the
company which will be seen at the Grand
Opera House this week is composed OF the
best of comedians and vaudeville artists. q
week Of light. breezy and most enjoyable en-
tertainmeLt is promised. The nature of this
piece is an amiable satire on the postal service,
and has for one of its leading characters a
fourth-class postmaster, John Moneyn'dker. Of
Name.
This is a play which is said to be replete wi tn
roaring comedy. light music and lively dances
Gergie Parker, who takes the part of Jack the
poetmaster's daughter. is one Of the most YER
satile of soubrettes. and is already favOrite
here through her Venus in the Rag Baby"
delicious Spanish dance with castanet accom-
paniments. This ''cachuca' is not modelled on
any OF Carmencita's dances, but is said to be
original, and to be one of those things that
must be seen to be appreciated. Prominent in
the fun-making is Frank David, the well-known
comedian.

Barrett and Hall Caine. will be produced at
the Grand Opera House week of February 2

The Duquesne Theater.


Following the successful Midnight Bell"
the Duquesne announces for next week farce
comedy of the broadest order. The attraction
is II. Grattan Donnelly's humorous skit Later
On" and 1t will be illustrated by those two most
amusing comedians, Fred Hallen and Joe Hart,
assisted by a number of clever laughmakers,
with Molly Fuller, Annie Lewis, Ada Somers
and half a dozen more pretty girls, with sweet
voices and nimble feet.
Later On" is said to be a satire on Anglo
mania. but 1t really isn't satire on anything.
satire must Of necessity follow some line OF
plot-"Later On" doesn't. 1t is q conglomer-
ate mass of incidents heaped one upon an
other without any further regard to coherency
or legitimacy of succession than the very lax
and elastic laws of laughter demand, but
Later On Is very funny. 1t Is one of the
best slap bang. catch-as-catch-can mixtures OF
froth and nonsense which constitutes the anom-
alous quantity known as farce comedy. The
company is chosen with due regard to the re-
auirements Of the piece, and includes num-
Der of people well calculated to
make the flying moments speed in Joy.
baritone, Harry Hilton and Annie Lewis are
people who might have been made for farce
comedy. The musical features Of Later On"
are Of particular excellence; the singing is said
to be particularly good, and the interpolated
solos, duets and choruses are chosen from the
very latest operaiic successes. The regular
Saturday matinee will be given, and also the
popular Wednesday function, at which the re-
duced prices have proven 30 acceptable IN the
past
Hoyps very latest farcical success. "a Trip
to Chinatown" follows Hallen 4 Hart at the
Duquesne. The piece has proven very success
full in New York. where it has been running TOR
several weeks past, and is said to be more than
up to the mark of the authors previous bolster
Gus nonsensical successes.

claims to enjoy health. HIS existence is as dear
To him as 1t is TO an ordinary mortal who walks
about and uses all his faculties. He reclines on
the same couch as when he first began to turn
into stone over S3 years ago. His memory is not
impaired and his command Of language Is good
He is we'll posted on most any subject, Is happy
and cheerful in disposition, and takes lively
interest in politics. His years of confinement,
during which he has become more and more

cheerful disposition. He Is native of Niagara

School Notes.

In his lecture to the High School teachers
Monday afternoon, Superintendent Powell
drew attention to the careless and even un-
grammatical manner in which, through lack
OF thought, many teachers speak in the class
room. He also alluded to the frequency with
which badly constructed sentences are heard
from the lips Of teachers who do not consider
what they wish to say before beginning to
speak.
The High School library is extensively used
by the pupils. One day last week nearly
every available seat was occupied by students
who were reading up on various topics.
Tn school trustees have recommended to
the Com. .'1issioners the purchase for 81, 600 of
