A large audience witnessed the opening
performance of Goodyear, Elitch "
Schilling's Ministries at the Metropolitan
Theater last night. The troupe is thor
oughly good one; it gives q clean, whole
some and every way enjoyable minstrel
and variety entertainment, with of
course some old jokes and witticisris, but
much that is new. The four Bentley

as soloists are good ballad-singers. Schi!-

of high merit. Al Leech is a good dancer,

and Everett, Hughes and Lambert are
good support to the end men. The cos

tleshings. The first part is set in the
midst of heavy plush hanGings, damasi<
curtains and handsome scenery, and is
something novel in such shows, and GER

WARRING WATERS.
Frank Kelly Slashes Dan Jacobs With

His Knife.
There was war among the walters last
evening, and as a result three of them
slept in the city Jail last night, and
another held down cot in the Receiving
Hospital, with couple Of gaping wounds
on his body.
1t appears that the party We're holding
sort of revel in what is known as the
Fountain Saloon, on the south side of X
street, near Sixth, during which-accord-
ing to the story of a bystander-a quarrel
arose between Frank Kelly and fellow
waiter named Thomas Sweeny
While they were at it Dan Jacobs inter
fered in Sweeny's behalf, and urged him
to punch Kelly. The latter then turned
on Jacobs, but received lefthander on
the nose, and he groyeled in the sawdust.
There was no referee, and he wasn't
counted out, but getting on his pins
again resumed the battle. Jacobs then
grabbed billiard cue and chased Kelly
out upon the sidewalk, followed by the
rest OF the walters.
There was further scuffiing outside.
and the commotion attracted the atten-
ton of special officer Goods and regular
officer Franks, who ran to the spot. As
they did so Kelly ran out into the street,
and returning dashed up stairs over the
saloon, where he lodged.
The officers first secured Jacobs,
Sweeny and Dick Meyer, and found that
Jacobs was bleeding from two bad knife
wounds, which he said Kelly had infiict-
ed. The officers then went to Kelly's
room and arrested him, and all the men
were taken to the police station.
Jacobs had gaping wound on his left
forearm, near the elbow, received by
warding off knife-blow aimed at his left
breast. The other wound was in his right
thigh, about midway between the knee
and hip, and had the appearance of being
a clean stab.
The only weapon found on Kelly was a
large jack-lSnife, and he denied having
used it or any other during the row. Kelly
is the man who was arrested on the 9th of
January for cutting one Peter Yost, alias
Arkansas Pete," but escaped being
prosecuted because of the complaining
witness leaving the city.I

SOUTHERN oITRus FAIR
a Winter Exhibit That VIII Astonish
Eastern VISITORS

The orange growers of Southern Cali
fornia are working enthusiastically in the
matter OF preparing for the State Citrus
T'air. which is to be held at Los Angeles
commencing on the Sd of next month.
In all the counties composing the south
ern citrus belt, committees have been ap-
pointed to collect and prepare exhibits of
the citrus and other products of their To-
calities, and the result will doubtless be
the grandest winter exhibition ever held
in the State.
The Northern California Citrus Fair.
held at Marysville several weeks ago, was
under the same auspices as will govern
that of Southern California, and it was a
revelation to all-eyen to the residents of
this section of the State, who had not
given their attention to the matter of
citrus culture The industry is but in its
infancy here, but has already made Won
derful advancement. In the southern
counties it is the chief industry of the
people, and that portion of the State has
achieved national celebrity for its citrus
products. Hence there is no reason why

A Great Place for Trout.

In the western corner of South Caro-
lima, among the foothills of the Blue
Ridge mountains, is said to be the best
trout fishing region in the east. Until
recently the streams never had any
trout or fish of any sort in them. Yet
on the other side of the mountains all
the waters were richly stocked. Gen.
Wade Hampton, who had summered
there from boyhood, took barrel in
wagon and went over the mountains to
get as many trout as he could. He
came back with plenty, and whenever
he crossed the stream on the east side
of the range he threw handful of
young trout in and passed along. In a
year or two he went again and fshed
surreptitiously in the waters that were
supposed never to have known a fish.
He caught plenty. The next year the
sparse population discovered their ex-
istence. Now the streams abound with
splendid trout. Chicago Journal.

CHRISTIAN WRANGLERS.


"A Stronger Guard Stationed at the Grotto
at Bethlehem.
LONDON, July 20.-The decision of the
Sultan to station larger guard at the
Grotto at Beth lehem, owing to the large
number of deaths which have occurred
there through the frequent fl ghts between
Greeks and Catholics for possession or
control of that sacred spot has created a
feeling of disgust in the more civilized
countries.
The disputes which have in many cases
ended SO fatally. have mortified the Turk
ish authorities, who cannot understand
the feeling which should actaate two
Christian scots to deeds of violence for
the possession of sacred spot to which
neither has any right that is recognized
by any laws or treaties extant.
One of the strict observances OF the
holy place is the rigid requirement that
any person who enters shall do so in his
bare fest. Recently q Greek seeking en-
trance removed his shoes, but neglected
to take off his stockings. This sacrilege
80 shocked a Catholic devotee that he
drew knife and attacked the Greek,
who in the ensuing fight was killed.
There have since been q number of san
culinary encounters, and the warfare has
grown SO fierce that the Mohammedan
Sultan has found himself at last COM
PEELED to station a guard at the Croft o
sufficiently strong to keep the Christian
wranglers from flying at each others
throats and further desecrating the pla ce
they both profess to hold sacred.
