OPERA HousE.-"The Clemenceau
Case with the company that played
to packed houses in Washington last
season, headed by Miss Emma Bell, a
gifted and beautiful woman, will be
given at the Opera House tonight and
tomorrow night. The manager wishes
to have it understood that while the
play is a remarkably powerful one,
there is nothing in it TO offend. The
French novelty dancers are also with
this company.
"Thc Confederate Spy" to be pre-
scented at the Opera House on Wedncs-
day, is said to be military drama of
high class. Among the members of
the company are II. W. Weber, the
German dialect comedian, and Harry
Johnson. the well-linown black-face ar
list. The company is a well-balanccd
one throughout and will doubtless draw
a large crowd.

TIE Town OLoGK DuNR.-The
clock in the steeple Of the City Hall
which for twenty-one years has mum
hered life's seconds and tolled the
hours with faithful regularity. about
three o'clock Saturday afternoon grew
ianguid until finally its hands stood
still. Mr.. c. f. Adams, Keeper of the
Town Clock, soon assembled into the
steeple and after some "coaXing' sue
ceeded in starting the timepiece UP
sgain. 1t seemed to have tired feel
ing, however, and showed . desire for
q rest after q ceaseless course of over
two decades, and at twenty-five min
utes past seven o'clock at night the in
tricate machinery came to q halt and
the hands on the four dials once more
stood still and refused to bulge further,
heins unsusceptihle this time to tinker
ing or coaXing. 1t was generally re-
ported that the handspring had broken.
but this is erroneous The fact is that
the clock needs what it is to get a
frst-class cleaning, and will be in run
ming order by tomorrow evening. The
community have no fault to find with
this faithful chronicley OF the flight of
time. it vas placed in its present po-
sition twenty-one years ago, or before
hundreds of voters in our midst were
born. 1t has given no trouble and has
been known to run three months at q
time without varying over nine seconds.
