score Of three goals to three. Sew

Creditable appearances, and prom

1t is noteworthy fact that dur

be in demand.

Graham After the Ball.

The Chicago Mail describes "Af-
ter the Ball." as follows: There is.
a miniature temperance sermon in
"After the Ball." the farce that re-
ceived it's first presentation in Chi
cago last Sunday at Havlin's thea
ter. The hero, Paul Gibbs, a bro
ker imbibeS too much champagne
at a fashionable ball, and it results
in great deal of trouble for him.
In his intoxicated condition he
wanderS back to the apartments he,
had vacated in the morning, and
which had been taken possession
of in the afternoon by an Oldham
and his daughter. Gibbs does
not know this and goes into
his old room. He is surprised to.
see the daughter, who is making
preparations to retire. He admires
her neck and tells her so. OF
course she is terrified and orders
him to go at once, and he promises
to do so if she will kiss him. Fear
ing her fathers anger she consents,
and then the old man, who has
heard the sound of the OSCILLATION,
enters the room, the result being
that the young man agree to mar
ry the girl, the father thinking the
intruder is the young man whom
he has forbidden to see his child.
As Gibbs is about to marry another
girl his predicament can be readily
understood. The fun begins with
this scene and continues uninter-
ruptedly until the final cur
tain. Gibbs prospective wives
and father-in-law live in adjoining
villas, and it keeps Gibbs busy
calling on the girls and making
himself solid with their fathers.
He gives one family presents and
then steals them and presents
them to the other. But all comes
out right in the end. The role of
Gibbs is assumed by Robert f.
Graham, and in his first legitimate
star part. He plays it in a breezy,
lively, and realistic manner, his
drunken scene is very modestly
done, and cannot shock or offend
any one. The company is first
class. Havlin's was packed Sunday
night with an audience that
laughed necessarily for over two
hours"

Honor to Whom Honor.

The LIGHT congratulates the
teachers of this city on the pay
ment of their salaries in full to date
of the close of November, while so
many of the teachers throughout
the state are without the funds so
justly their due. This favor is
directly owing to the forethought
and liberality of City Treasurer
Herff, who advanced without inter
est, the eight thousand and odd
dollars necessary to meet these sal
aries. The credit has been placed
to the account of another, but the
LIGHT, knowing the facts, prefers
to place it where it is due. 1t is as
we'll in municipal affairs as in
equestrian to place the saddle on

The afternoon was then devoted to
reading the laws of pharmacy and
discussing the various points. 1t
was agreed that hereafter all laws
must be enforced strictly.
There is law compelling all
pharmacists to register the names
of persons purchasing poisonous
drugs, with their occupation and
place of residence, in order that a
case of suicide or poisoning may
be detected readily. This law, so
it is claimed by members Of the
board, has not been complied with,
and one of their endeavOrs will be
to compel each clerk to register a
purchasers name in accordance
with the law.
