"Jim, Tho yvcsterner.-

Tho Citizen, of Sept. 1, says: In
tho wave of melodrama which struck
this town last night there was no moro
pronounced success than the play of
Jim, the Westerner," produced at
Manager Holmes handsome Star The
atre and before large, pleased and en-
thusiastic audience. 1t is compare
lively q new drama, and was written by
Edward e. Rose, Boston stage man
agcr. Mr.. Rose does not show much
originality in plot, but he has deftly
constructed play that strikes tho pop
ular chord. Old ideas are put in now
and ATTRACTIVE dress and comedy and
sensational scenes arc so nicely bal
anced that an audience is kept inter
estcd and amused all tho time. Mr..
Rose did not aim too high and he has
found an assured constituency
Originally the play was produced last
season as Tho Wcstcrncr" at the
Thalia Theatre in tho Bowcry, and
subsequently Frederick Bryton starred
in it under the tito of Jim" 1t
lacked proper production in tho first
place, and Bryton found tho chief role
too arduous, and the play did not
achieve success. Under tho present
management tho drama is bound to
succeed. 1t is placed on the stage with
attractive scenery and interpreted by a
capable company.

neighborhood. added one more victory
yesterday to all the others he has
achieved.
He was indicted for maintaining a
nuisance. The indictment was obtained
by the Board of Health and the cause of
1t was that Miller kept seventeen can and
paper eating and obnoxious smelling
goats, to the annoyance Of the community
ia which he dwelt. and the detriment to
health and good order. The trial was set
down for today.
When the case was moved Lawyer
Ryerson Told Technicality) asked the
Court on behalf of the goat loving Miller,
that the indictment be quashed. The
learned counsei set forth that
the Indictment was for keep
ing goat stable, but
not for keeping goats and that it did not
allege that goats were kept In the stable.
A man might keep q thousand stables
without goats and not commit nuisance.
The Court ordered the indictment.
