PACK THE HOUSE.
The Charity Performance at the
Grove Street Theafer.

Inc Snarity performance at INC
Grove-Street Theafer.
This afternoon the special performance
rendered by the management OF the Grove
street Theater in aid of the fund for the
widows and orphans of the firemen who
surrendered their lives in the attempt to
save property at Ashbury Heights will
take place.
The stirring spectacular melodrama.
THE Phoenix" that added so much to the
artistic and financial success of Milton
Mobiles will be the special attraction, and
as the individual members of the company
are as one with the sympathetic endeavor
of the management TO swell the relief
fund with very handsome donation IL is
certain that the play will be rendered
with vim and vigor that will well reward
everybody who invests in ticket OF ad-
mission.
While the object of this special per-
Torrance ought to be sutfici ent TO unloose
the purse-strings of the public and liter
ally pack the house, it is OF additional in
terest to know that the spectacular effects
have been arranged and elaborated in
manner surprising all previous efforts IN
this direction at this theater.
While many people have already con-
tributed to the most worthy cause for
which the performance will be given, no
one need stay away on tnat account.
To-day excellent value will be given for
the trifing amount invested. and it is not
Of frequent occurrence that one can do
kindly action and reap material benefit
at the same time.
The loss of a famiIy's bread-winner
cannot be compensated for, or actually
computed in dollars and cents, but at
least some recognition may be made of the
fact that the firemen who so unfortunately
lost their lives did SO while working in
behalf of the public. 1t is we'll that the
public be neither grudging nor penurious.
so let the theater this afternoon be packed
from floor to dome.

A Delinquent Attorney.

The divorce suit of Mateo de Sante
against Eesia de Sante was set for hearing
in Judge Hebbard's court yesterday. But
some difficulty arose through the non-ap-
peatance of Attorney Splivalo. who rep
resented the plaintiff.
The suit was brought by De Sante on
the ground that his wife was subject to
epileptic fits and that he was afraid TO live
with her. At the special request of At
torney Splivalo the case has been postponed
from time to time, and when Judge Heb
bard held court yesterday the attorney waG
not forthcoming. The Judge waited rea.
sonable time, and, finding that the attorney
had not appeared, he ordered the case struck
off the calendar.
Splivalo arrived a few minutes afterward
and the Judge read him severe lecture,
saying that he had half mind to commit
him for contempt of court

The millennium is here The managers
of the Shenandoah and Pottsville base ball
clubs have come together and have agreed to
decide the superiority of the respective clubs
at Lakeside on August 18th.
Let the eagle scream, for Shenandoah is to
have an opportunity to show the champions
of the county seat that they can play ball.
Ever since the present base ball manage.
ment has been in existence it has tried every
means to arrange game with the Pottsville
club, but the latter has shrewdly wrggled
out of every overture and proclaimed to the
people that the failure to secure the game has
been due to the timidity of the Shenandoah
team. The interest in the merits of the re-
spective clubs has become so great that even
people who know nothing of the game and
rarely see one played have been urging the
Shenandoah management to offer the Potts
vile club anything and everything to play a
game; and there is not the slightest doubt
that the contest will draw thousands of peo-
pie from all parts of the county. 1t has been
frequently stated during the past weeks that
no two clubs outside of the Boston and Phil.
adelphias could draw a crowd to any place in
Schuylkill county than the Shenandoah and
Pottsville clubs.
1t will be the greatest card in the history
of schuylkill county base ball and both teams
will undoubtedly go upon the diamond
stronger than ever before, and the Lakeside
grounds will be packed with professional men,
tradesmen, miners and other admirers of the
respective teams, who will send roars of en-.
thusasm skyward during the game.
Manager Bradigan went to Pottsville to day
to have agreements for the game drawn up
and signed in accordance with preliminary
arrangements made by letter.
Although this game will be great card it
will not be the only feature of August 18th at
Lakeside. 1t is on this day that the Grant
Band will hold its musicale at the resort and
the multitude will have the additional
pleasure of the bands programme.
One week from next Tuesday will bring on
the great battle between the giants of POTTS.
