in the person of the 'Cadi."
Mr.. Nye has evidently written with tho in.
tent of producing play which shall be i'm

marks are all funny. and are so artistically
disconnected that when one wears out it

sented by Mr. r. }. Dustan. who makes mp
in exact imitation of the author. as repre-
sented in the familiar cuts of him. The
other characters in the play are well cared
for by such capable people as Jennie
F. Mack. Miss Goldthwaite is an an
indianapolis girl and general favorite
with the theater-goers of the city. During
the intermission between the second and
third acts she was presented with
lists art. Altogether, the play is
we'll worth hearing. if the audi
tor will put aside his preconceived notions
of the drama and throw himself into q
Christian science state of passive recep-
tivlty as 1t were.
ENGLIsH'S-HOwARD ATHENEUM.
Unquestionably the Howard Atheneum
Company, of Boston. is the best vaudeville
speciality show that has been seen here for
years and the performance given at En-
glish's last evening deserved the large au-
dience that enjoyed every feature. The
entertainment embraced many novelties
in dances and songs. and nothing was
old. The sketches We're all bright,
the singing passable and the acrobatie
performed some almost incredible acts OF
equilibrism and the Braarz brothers hat
to hat balancing was phenomenal. Every
individual performance was praisewOrthy
and encores numerous. Same bill tonight.

NOTES.
Margaret Mather will begin her engage
ment at the Grand next Monday might.
with THE Honeymoon" In the character
of Juliana-(the petted, spoiled woman of
family and breeding with the temper of q
virago when aroused. but q sweet and
obedient wife when tanned by her husband)
Mics Mather has one that is entirely
within her scope and at the same time
pleasing in Its rendition. While her first
great success was made in tragedy, and
work of more exacting nature, she seems to
have surpassed that triumph and given the
stage a JulIana to be remembered aud
boasted of in after years. Seats are now
on sale for her engagement.
That perennial comic opera success, "The
Little Tycoon with X. L. Graham, in his
original role of General Kniekerbocker,
and company of forty singers. Will be
seen at Englishs next Monday and Tues
day evenings the advance sale begin ming
to-day. This opera is well liked here on
account of it's melodious numbers and
comedy features. and is likely to draw
large audiences. The company includes
various well-known people.
This evening Prof. Bailey. of Nebraska
State University. will deliver his lecture
on Central America at Plymouth Church.
As Prof. Bailey speaks from personal ex-
perience his story of the customs of the
people. their government and peculiarities
will be interesting and instructive
