Davis, nInsanm.rheater.

A good entertainment is that given at
the Harry Davis Fifth Avenue Museum
Theater. Perhaps the most interesting
feature is Prof Wallace's silk industry in
the main curio hall. The whole manufacture
of silk is shown, from the time it is taken
from the silkworm to that when it is s0un,
ready for weaving into cloth. Prof. Wallace
delivers a most entertaining lecture upon
the various processes. Prot. Milton executes
q series of daring and hair-raising maneu-
vers with razor-edged sword, and with
the assistance of Miss Annetta Ayers ex-
cites the wonder of his audience in an
illusion entitled ga Mysterious Creation. !"
The Bedouin Arabs continne to play and
sing, and show their magnificent costumes,
and Miss Annetta Lake produces sweet
music from fifteen different instruments.
The menagerie is enjoyed by children of
large and small growth while in the thea
toripm a full vaudeville performance is
given Altogether the entertainment is
most enjoyable. The audiences were large
at every performance yesterday.

Duquesne Theater.

Two years ago "The Stowaway" burst
upon Pittsburg's astonished gaze with two
real burglars and very clever imitation of
q yacht To tell the truth the thought that
this sensational drama would return to Pitts
burg did not occur to us. But it came back
last night at the Duquesne, burglars, cold
blooded villain, yacht and all, and received
q warm welcome from its old admirers
to expatiate ON the burdensome
folly of putting such an outrageous
burlesque of life upon the stage, and
calling it realism. The burglars are real
enough, the safe-cracking scene is thrilling,
and the picturesqueness of the yacht may be
granted. Messrs Lynch and Slayton still
divide the honors of the play, assisted by
newsboy, and Miss Leonora Bradley. The
audience evinced deep interest in the CORY
and grewsome episodes, and Missed the vii
lain and cheered the hero with fervor.

Wants to Be q Lawyer.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In what branches must one be examined
before being permitted to study law? How
long after such examination must he study
before being admitted to practice? Is q
classical education necessary? s. HI.
PtrTsBURG, August 81.
A person may study law without being
examined in any branch, but he should at
least have good common school educa tion,
and, if possible, should graduate from a col
lege. A classical education is not necessary,
but 1t is useful to have a knowledge of the
classics. The rules of the courts in various
counties and States differ, and wha5 will
satisfy some will not pass with others. In
some States all that is required is the pass
age of an applicant in law points alone. In
this county the courts are very strict and
require the embryo lawyer to register and
pass preliminary examination in several
studies, a list of which may be obtained
upon application to the courts. These K
aminations take place every three months.
