deeply stirring kind, full of homely pathos

deeply stirring kind, full of homely pathos
and melodramatic fire, ought to catch the
popular fancy Such a drama is Elmer E.
Vance's realistic railroad comedy drama,
''The Limited Mall" which has for the past
season met with phenomenal success else
where. Unlike many other plays, "The
Limited Mail' was written and produced by
a thoroughly practical man, who knew ex-
actly what he wanted and what he was writ
ing about, and his lifelong experience as
night telegraph operator and train dis
patcher in the employ of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad depot at Columbus o., has
shown itself in every line and in every &C
ton of the play. The engagement at the
Bijou, commencing tomorrow night, will be
the 5lst consecutive week of this company,
they having just returned from the Pacific
coast, where their Eastern success has every
where been duplicated. A four weeks en-
gagement at the Bush Street Theater,
San francisco, aggregating over s2s,ooo
house. The following is taken from the
Portland Oregonia,s of July 23 MANY of the
scenes are startlingly realistic. The tele-
graph scene in the third act where the "AIn-
bilious Kid'' taps the wires and sends the
wrong message which the audience eids in
flaming letters on the wires was of thrilling
interest. The great engine, putting live
sparks as it crashed over the warming tor
pedo, the clang of the bell, the hiss of steam,
the puff and glare and rusl and clatter fol-
lowing the dash of full-sized lightning ex-
press train, were given with q realism that
dumfounded the audience. The sawmlll
scene, in which the heroine comes within
hairs breadth of being cut in two by
wicked-looking "buZz saw" is intensely ex-
citing. In the last act handcar, on which
the two villains were trying to escape,
jumps the track, tips over and throws the
villains into the footlights, as though they
were fired from Krupp gun. The perform
ance had very commendable cast.

Grand Opera House.

This theater, practically new IN many
essential particulars, will open for the season
on Monday, August 81, with a revival of old
English comedy that ought to be Of great in
terest. The plays will include "she stoops
to Conquer" Tom Taylor's Runaway
Match" Married Life" by Blackstone,
and paul Pry," Poole's memorable
old play. The company fs new
one, including Wflfred Clarke, son
of J. s. Clarke, the great comedian and
grandson of Junius Brutus Booth, and Miss
Martha Ford, daughter of the veteran man
ager, whose debut this performance will be.
1t is promised that these plays shall be
staged and acted in manner commensurate
with their worth, and it will be favorable
opportunity for theatergoers to compare the
oid-style comedy with the modern article.
Moreover, the first appearance OF Miss Ford,
of whose beauty and ability great things are
promised, beside young Mr.. Clarke, whose
performance has already shown much prom
Use, must surely excite attention.

The time is drawing very near when the

leader OF society must possess at least one of
these tauoT-made silk affairs. The cut will

a Timely Philanthropy.

That is a glorious idea of the Society for
the Improvement of the Poor to send work
ing women and girls away for short time
every summer. 1t should be remembered
that people of this class are not likely to live
in the healthful suburbs of the city, but
rather IN close streets and alleys. To them
a week or two in the country may mean the
saving Of their lives. The society asks for the
theaddresses Of people in the country who
are willing to take respectable girls or
women to board with them at u reasonable
figure. There must he plenty such, and it
Will only be necessary Tor them to know that
tney cal thus give life to some of the poor
workers of the CITY to insure their coming
forward with offers OF succor.
The society needs pecuniary help in carry
ing out its benefcent plan. 1t will defray
the expenses of the girls who are unable to
pay board in the country for themselves,
but there are great many demands upon
tine treasury of the society and it is neces-
saTy for the philanthropists of the city to
assist il the good work is to be carried on
successfully, There SHOULD and will be an
immediate and generous response to the ap
peal OF the society.

The summer is beginning to wane. When
.he dog davs are over and the theaters show
a disposition to open their doors, the ire
Quenters of the seashore and mountains
think 1t is time to turn their faces toward
home. They think that those faces are
tanned enough, and that they are almost
ready for the social whirl that lasts from
November 20 April almost without break
But they do not consider-or, at least, some
or them do not-that the pleasantest time of
the whole summer vacation is comprised
within the six weeks or so from this date.
rs soon as the sun begins to shine with
added strength they want to get out of town,
and the consequence is that by the middle
of August they are tired of everything per
tanning to country life, and long for the
dingy city with q longing that can only be
accounted for on the theory that There is
nc place like home" So they come home
and try to force the winter gaiety into life,
ignoring the fact that those who have put
Of their vacation TO this sensible time are
enjoying themselves at the seashore or in
the mountains to n greater extent than was
possible to their predecessors.
And vet there is something TO be said in
favor Of PittSburg in August and Septem-
Oer, too Although the heart of the city is
not the most desirable place in which to
spend warm days and sultry evenings,
there are suca miles of suburbs where ma
ture has full sway that the stay-at-homes
nre rather 10 be envied than pitied. A few
years ago, no one who could get away would
think of staying at home throughout the
summer. To-day there are many sensible
people who will not go away at all, save,
perhaps, for n fortnight, to take dip in the
briny, Fastening back as soon as this duty
Is performed to rest under their own vine
and 1lgtree. Pittsburgers are not to be
found who will say that they have never
had such good time away as they have in
this same "smoky Pittsburg." They talk
about the hammock swung on the porch or
in the lawn, and think with Il serene
sense OF comfort of the many hours they
have spent thus in neglige costume, with no
hotel versndah TO dress for, and no dress
pa-ade on the pier or beach TO disturb them.
These are the people to whom all seasons
are alike. In the winter they enjoy their
own 1ireside, and in the summer they keep
cool on their own property. Why should
they 20 awayP
still, it is impossible TO persuade people
that it Is not TO their advantage to take what
is called summer vacation some time IN
the year and the accepted idea of that sum
meT vacation will always be a departure
from the city.

A Sad Scene Turned Into Joy.

Judge Porter yesterday discharged Matt
Tombey from the workhouse on q writ of
habeas corpus. Tombey was arrested for
refusing to pay toll on the Forty-third street
bridge He was charged with disorderly
conduct and Magistrate Leslie fined him IS
and costs and in default of payment sent
him 80 days to the workhouse. When
brought into court yesterday Tombey wept
Henry Meyer, his attorney, having bad
cold also produced tears. The scene was
affecting, but turned into one of joy when
Tombey was discharged on defective COM
mitmene.

Worlds nIuseum-Theater,

This popular house, freshened up for new
season of activity, offers pretty big bill of
attrac tions for the coming week. The lead
ing wonders will be Minerva and Charles P.
Blatt, two imm ensely strong athletes. OF
Minerva it is said that she has lifted s3S
pounds of iron, dead weight, from the floor,
and the eminent sport, Richard X. Fox, OF
the Police Gazette is willing to bet anyone
81, 600 that she is the strongest woman in the
world lifting weights. Moreover, she is a
handsome and comely woman, in the
perfect development of whose muscles
much may be found to admire.
Mr.. Blatt is usually called the iron-muscled
Hercules, and his sensational feats Of
strength justify the title. He has caught
recently cannon ball fired with six ounces
of gunpowder from large cannon, and will
do it again. He also proposes to take solid
iron horse shoe weighing couple of pounds
and with a steady pull tear it apart
which is beyond doubt wonder
full piece of muscular accomplish
ment. Five thousand dollars will be paid
to anyone who can rival Mr.. Blatt in his
feats of strength. There will be three gen.
uine curiosities, and in the theater Daly's
Specially Company will give strictly first
performance. Comedy sketches, dancing
and songs will be included in this entertain
ment, Of the excellence of which the presence
of Mr.. Tom Mcintosh, the great colored
comedian, is sufficient guarantee.

Harris Theater.

Harris, Brftton & Dean open their season
tomorrow afternoon when Will E. Burton,
a rising young comedian, will appear in q
rattling tarce-comedy entitled tom Saw
yer" The performance is just the kind of a
one to suit summer night audience, drive
away the blues and make one extremely
happy. The show has never been seen here
before, but comes highly praised
by such competent authority as
the Chicago Inter Ocean, which recently
contained the following criticism:
"Of Mr.. Will E. Burton we can simply say
that he is phenomenon, and has in Tom
Sawyer created q role, the equal of which,
in all its varied phases, American theater
goer5 have never seen equalled. The sup
port is remarkably strong"

Little Loss of Time.

The loss of time in cases of sickness Is no
small item to working people. A Pennsyl-
vania minister tells how an attack of collie
or diarrhea may be cured in the least posi-
BILE time. sT had no occasion to use Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy
in my own family, but have tried it on
other parties. With one for collie; one dose
cured. With another for diarrhea, and two
doses cured him. From the satisfaction it
gave in the cases tried must say believe
it is all the manufacturers claim for it. Rev.
