"The Westerner."

The Thalia Theatre held an audience
OF the usual demi- professional special
matinee quality last evening, the occa-
sion being the first and authors per
1ormance of The Westerner," by Mr..
Edward E. Rose, Of Boston, an excellent
character actor. who was one of the

1.-The Westerner" was a decided sue
cess, and was received with most ener.
getic expressions of approval by the
audience, which called the players be-
fore the curtain at the end OF the acts
and had the author out after the third
one.
The Westerner," which is in four
acts, is a simple, wholesome plav of
American life of to-day. 1t is brightly
written, abounds in "fat lines and tells
we'll rather conventional story.
Tho comedy of 1.-The Westerner" is
found in the second act, where Enrol
and the discarded son are hard up in a
garnet, and in Maine deacon and his
wife, capitally pictured by Mr.. Rose and
Mrs. Hattie Neflin, who on their visit to
the city are both attacked with tho bet
ting maniG-he on races and she on
baseball.
Miss Pauline Willard looked pretty
and acted we'll as Errol's love, Mary
Lawton; and Miss Lillian Owen was
natural rs Jessie Deans. Very good,
also, was Mr.. Charles Charters, as Harry
Lawton; while Mr.. Frank Hatch, who
had scene call, was admirable as Mar
tin Ferris, q successful Arizona miner.

p Many persons begin TO show gray hairs

some while in their teens This does not by
any means argue premature decay OF the

Ia the United States sex appears to make
little difference. Men and women grow gray
about the same period in life.

the other for several years, but there seems

THE STORY OF A HAT.
How an Important Invention Was
First Made Known

First Made Known.
An English technical paper relates the
following story of one of the most noted
British mechanics: Somewhere about 1777.
a travelling mllwright, footsore, and with
the broadcast Northern Doric accent, stopped
at Soho, the engine factory OF Bolton 81
Watt and asked for work His aspect was
little better than that of beggary. and the
proprietoIs OF the place had hidden him
godspeed to some other shop, when. as he
was turning away sorrowfulv, Bolton snd-
denly called him back.

BY his native ingenuity the man had in
vented an oval lathe to make his hat, and
the hat made his fortune. Boulton was not
the man to lose so valuable helper, and so

originator of gas lighting, entered the SER

noticeable inventions which he subse-
Quently made was that of the locomotive.
for In 1884 he made the first small model of
q carriage driven by steam.
