And drink the wine Of life and have no fear;

told her he wasn't, he must have been.

THE STILL ALARM.
Old Time Enthusiasm Stirred Up
BY II at the Academy
Last Night.

'sThe Still Alarm" opened at the
Academy of Music last night to a good
house, that received the fire engine scene
with the usual frantic applause. The cast
has undergone several important changes,
but William S. Harkins remains in his
character of Jack Manly. fortunately
for the play. Although suffering from
such a severe cold, that it was evident
pain to speak a word, he went through
his part with the sam fidelity which he
always gives it. In all the play there is
no better scene than his seliloquy over
backing his boots. as he tries hard TO
persuade himself that he is really glad
that his sweetheart has thrown him over.
X. i. Suader threw a new light on the
character of John Bird. Up to this time
he has been black haired, gloomy and
sardonic; now he is simply a n ad~venturer,
who doesn't murder people for the love
of 1t, but because they unfortunately in
terfere with his good time. Mabel Bert
