 Might and Morning."
 The Zanesville Star says of "Night and Morning." which will be seen here Wednesday evening: The situations are strong and the dialogue smooth. The comedy scene between Col Slaughter and Smoole of the prohibition party, is worthy of Brinsley Sheridan. Mir Arden improves on acquaintance. He is the coming actor.
 Henry Burlesque Co.
 To say that the Henry Burlesque Cc crowded the Star theatre Sunday even ing would be merely mentioning it. The house was jammed and hundreds of people were turned away unable tC gain admission. It is the finest show of the kind that has visited Cleveland foI many seasons.-Cleveland Plaindealer At the opera house Thursday evening.

WHAT THIS ROOSTER OVERHEARD IN A FACTORY YESTERDAY. Harry-"I say, Joe, where do you get that flour that makes such nice flaky bread as see in your pail this morningg" Joe-"My wife buys that from Kelly. It is one of Kelly's famous brands. for got the name."
 Harry-"Well, my wife buys one of those famous brands that Kelly handles from groceryman, but it don't make bread like that"
 Joe-"That is easily explained. You know Kelly don't bake or sell any flour unless it is in his storeroom at least three months. This gives the flour 8 chance to cure, which like all grain requires cer- tain amount of time before it is fit to make good bread" This is also the reason why Kelly's flour takes more water, makes more bread and of course the natural consequence is it keeps moist longer.
 Kelly says that old flour is now quoted in New. York market 40 cents a barrel higher than new. Watch the drop in eggs. Flour quotations same as before. Flour delivered to all parts of the city at quotation prices and if not satisfactory taken book and no charge for the baking.

rsPFC1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
COLUMBUS, Feb 16-President Williams
| was interviewed to-day on how the new
Western League was progressing in the
matter of signing players. He gave re-
view of the work done by the committee
and the names of the players who have been
signed. He said:
''The Western League is negotiating with
a good many players The players COM
mittee to whom all applications are re-
ferred instructs the secretary who to sign
and how much to pay them. In case the
terms offered by the League are not such as
have been offered by the players,
little dickering has to ensue.
The e'committee has already refused good
many applications Of unknown amateurs
and young professionals because they have
no use for such players. The Western
League is not kindergarten for the train
ing of young men, they must get their train
ing in the State lesges. The Western
League wants none but the best talent, and
from the applications they are receiving
there is certainty there will be no lack of
it. The applications of all buns and dissi-
pated men so far as known are thrown out
without consideration. There is no room
for such men in the new League.
The Committee ON National Agreement
of the National League and American As
sociation will meet at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel in New York on Tuesday, March l,
and the committee on that subject of the
Western League have been invited to meet
with them. The Western League commit
tee will be present and hope to have such
an agreement formed as will preserve the
rights of all parties. The players who have
already been signed are all good men.
Frank Pears, pitcher, played with Kansas
City last season; Nick Ivory was a catcher
for indianapolis and is very promising
Young man and was recommended by Amos
Rusie; Willard A. Holland was a short
stop for Kansas City last year;
James Sullivan, pitcher, was with
Boston awhile last season, and
with several New England clubs. He is
considered a very promising man. He
pitched for Columbus LAST season on theft
last trip East. L. G. Stockwell, catcher,
played with Cleveland in 1890, and in the
Western League last season. He Is also
good outfielder The first three we're signed
by Kansas City and the contracts turned
over to and approved by the League. Sew
eral other contracts were turned over by the
same club. But they were not approved"
Secretary Williams has established an

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 16.-As the time for the

March 2, interest in the event increases
Billy Madden writes from Maher's training
quarters that his charge is improving every

reaches New Orleans next week Maher will
be in as fine condition as any man well can
be.

cordwood, with breathing up a hundred
pound weight on his chest thrown in by way
of novelty in the matter of training. All
OF which shows that Bob Is taking a very
lively interest in his little transaction with
Maher, which will make him a very great
man in the pugilistic world If he wins, with
out any risk to his reputation If he loses, in
asmuch as Bob as middle-weight, is going
out of his class to meet a heavyweight, not
withstand1ng heavy-weight figures suit him
best and should properly be his class Bob
is piling on flesh, while Maher is taking it
OF. and there will probably not be more
than few pounds, if any, difference in their
weight as Maher will go in at less than 10
pounds.
The Olympic Club people now regret that

on the night of March Q before the Metro

undone to be in as perfect physical condf-

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.l
MEADvILLE, Feb. 16.-The sixth day OF
the Delamater trial was devoted by the
prosecution to seeking to prove that the
Delamaters were aware of their insolvency,
and in proof of this position the prosecu-
tion placed different members of the Cred
itors' Committee on the stand to prove the
admissions of G. W. Delamater as to the
amount of the banks Indebtedness, which
was claimed by the prosecution to be in the
neichborhood of 81, 100, 900. The next move
was to prove the value of the assets, and
finally to offer the books of the bank In evil
dence.
The Court, after long legal battle between
the counsel for the defense and the prosecu-
tlon, decided TO rule the books out on the
ground that it was contrary to the bill of
rights to permit the defendants to incrim-
mate themselves. The court held that the
books were practically the admission OF the
defendants and such evidence would not be
admitted. The Courts charge upon TINS
point was q decided advantage to the &C.

A Slick Powder Legislative Scheme.

COLUMBUS, Feb. l6.-[SpeciaL lin the
House to-day Nj. Reeve made d noble effort,
but was unsuccessful, and his bill to reduce
the legal rate of interest to per cent was
defeated. Senator Rawlings introduced a
bill which is likely to create a stir among
the manufacturers of baking powder. 1t is
introduced by request. and, as it affects a
well-known baking powder, it is likely to
precipitate lively fight between the rival
companies. 1t provides that manufacturers
of baking powder whose goods are sold in
Ohio shall denote whether alum is used as
an ingredient If alum is used the bill re-
Quires that packages containing such bak-
ing powder shall have on them label con-
tanning the printed words: ''This baking
powder contains alum"
