Corner Chat.

People of large cities are apt to
believe that the inhabitants Of small
cities or towns are correspondingly
small in the views they take Of life.
1t was doubtless true at one time
when railroads and newspapers were
few and the intermingling and inter-
changing of people and thought did
not assume the proportions they do
to-day. That period, however, is past,
and moral growth can take place in a
village as we'll as in a metropolis. 1t
is even possible for a more perfect
and splendid development of the
man in a village than in city. In
the latter place, where the prizes of
wealth arethought to be more plenti-
full and easily obtained, the struggle
to secure them bends all the energies
of the man to that one object In the
former, such prizes, while not dis
pissed, are secondary matters of con-

alton of one of Mr.. g. A. Gunter's
powerful novels. AS presented on
/ the stage of the Opera House last
evening it ranked high among the
pieces which have occupied these
boards this season. The characters
are all thoroughly individualized in
the story, it may be said without ex-
ception admirably handled last eve
ming. Mr.. Henry Weaver, jr., as the
bluff, hearty, whole-souled cattle
king, from Texas, is an unqualified
success. His clever acting leaves
nothing to be desired. Mr.. Hugh
Gibson, as the kind-hearted old
peer" is natural and is just the man
for the character, while his inciden-
tai assumption Of the role of "Ralph
Enrol" is no less successful. A word
Of praise is due Mr.. John E. Haynes
for his work in the character of Van
Colt, the Anglo-American "dude,"

withal we'll done. Mr.. Guy Nichols
and "Snapper" are inseperable, and
do extremely we'll. Miss Stella Boni
face carries a difficult role to the
closing scene with power, grace and
finish. Miss Busy as the beautiful
daughter of the big Texan is charm

Wednesday, February 1st, the brill
liant and artistic tragedian, Mr..
Walker Whiteside. A critic writes:
His conception Of character and the
intelligence with which he acts is a
revelation, a surprise, even marvel,
and stamps him as being a man of
remarkable mental strength, indomi-
table will and intensely dramatic
force worthy of any role, and favora-
BILE comparison with Booth, Barrett
and Mccullough. He is natural.
original, artistic, and the glowing
genius that constantly shines forth,
tells that the delineations of the
characters he portrays is his own
work and not perfectly memorized
lesson taught by another. He is
gifted with fine voice over which
he has complete control, and to watch
his mental grasp of meanings which
have puzzled older heads, is in itself
a study to the audiences, which have
everywhere been gratifyingly large.
Mr.. Whiteside will appear as Ham
let, supported by an able company.
