RIGHT OUT Of THE GROUND.

"Natural Gas" is an Unfaiing Well of
Natural Humor.
There was fun at the Academy of Music
last night. "Natural Gas' was the cause
The fun began with the rising OF the
curtain on the first scene aud contin ued
throughout the eutire performance.
The leading comedians, Donnelly and
Girard, are well known AMI their ability
as fun makers WAS well established In
the minds of an audience that filled everv
seat in the orchestra and orchestra circle,
crowded the balcony and packed the
gallery. Natural Cas-" the greatest of
all farce comedies, was the attraction.
Donnelly and Girard assuming the two
prominent male roles, assisted by May
Howard, the burlesque queen, and bevy
of pretty girls and several other accomp-
lished artists. Mr.. Henry Y. Donnelly
as Christopher Bluff, a natural gas specu-
lator, is all that the name implies.
Edward Grard, AS Whirlem ORourke,
one OF the finest, has u supply of funny
sayings which keep the audience In u
continuous roar of laughter.
The first scene Is in BLUFFS" stock
office. Bluff" has no money, but has in
his employ half dozen pretty type
writers, by whom he Is assisted in entic-
ing customers to purchase stocks i'll the
"Natural Gas" speculation. A customer

this time on bluff" plays a great game
endeavoring, by flashing roll of money
and calling continual attention to his
farm, to mash" every lady he. chances
to meet. His failures are stupendous and
his actions ridiculous, but warranted TO
cause nlirth.
Miss Annie Mack Berlein as Kitty Ma
lone, a servantwoman, is perhaps the
most amusing lady In the company. She
falls heir to the neat sum or three million
dollars, and Bluff loses no time In try
ing to secure her for q wife. kitty"
however, casts all her smiles upon
"Wnirlem O'Ronrke." She is finally In.
duced to enter society. and as result
"Whirlem" is laid away for future REFER
ence. A struggle for "kitty's" favo RS
ensues between bluff" and "O'Rourke, :"
which is indescribably amusing. The
farce concludes by 'Kitty's" deciding IN
'.O'Rourke's" favor, while Bluff loses
no time In marrying 'Daisy," his type

The piece is replete with funny sayings
ana doings, topical songs ana dances OF
every description, in which the entire
company participate.

week, with matinees on Wednesday and

Coroners on Toast.

The Coroners of New Jersey should
look after that bill introduced by Mr..
Barrett last week or they will ali be
consigned to Tophet. They will live
amid flame and may occasionally rise
from their ashes-like the fiery
ph@nix and the less inhammable and
more prosperous soap man. The
average Coroner sitting on corpse is
funny enough at times for side
show. but when he comes to sit on a
fire he will certainly be a spectacle for
the gods. A monkey dancing on hot
griddle wouldn't be u circumstance.
1t may be that Mr.. Barrett only in

Somo Curious Truths.

There are a number of societies ia the
world that bear strange names. but
probably one of the most curious was n
club founded in 1875 by an English actor.
1t was called "The Sublime Society of
Beefsteaks." and had among its members
the Prince of Wales and other royal per-
sonages. They met in the painting-roon
of the Covent Garden Theatre, aud dined
upon beefsteaks. The club was in exis-
teuce for more than hundred years. and
became quite noted because of its odd
customs. Another strange name was
that of the "Scriblerus Club" which
Swift founded in 1714. and TO which
Pope, Gay. and other literary men be-
longed.

FROZEN TO DEATH.
John Manley Perishes IN a Drunken
Stupor.

Stupor.
On Saturday morning John Manley
was found in dying condition on the
river bank at Bellaire. He was frozen
stiff, and lived but a few minutes after
being found He had been drinking
heavily on Friday night, and it is sup
posed he started to walk to the wharf
boat and fell in drunken stupor, and in
that condition froze to death. He was q
years of age, was brawny and muscular,
and wher sober was a great worker.
Recently he had been on his good behavior
and had not been drinking, but broke
over on Friday night, and thus met his
death He is brother of James Manley
who is now in Jail in this place on a
felonious charge. Peter Manley, the
father, is proprietor of the lower wharf
boat. Concerning the family, the Wheel
ing Register says:
1.-The tragic death of members of this
family is somewhat remarkable. Shortly
before the family moved to Bellaire their
residence was destroyed by fire and a
daughter was burned to death. Several
years later son was crushed to death by
the cars in the. B. s. o. yards in the same
city, Soon after another son received
injuries by the cars, which proved fatal.
The third son was drowned in the Ohio
river. Thus the death of John makes
five members of the family who have met
deaths.
