At Kernan's Lyceum Theater this week
straight variety holds the boards, the attrac
tion which opened last evening being John
T. Fields Drawing Cards. The combination
is headed by Fields and Hanson, the origna-
tors of instrumental comedy, who were
cordially received and proved to be as versa
tile as ever. The KafTa brothers, Arabian
acrobats and tumbiers, made their first ap-
pearance IN this city and performed a num-
ber of novel and difficult feats. Maude Bev-
erly in her budget of songs was clever. while
Huested and Guyer sang and danced in pleas
ing manner. The latter pair presented new
feature in the shape of dancing monkey
which made a decided hit. John and Harry
Dillon, Charley Case. George A. Austin, Ed
gar and Curran. Johnnie Carroll, and Mazuz
and Abacco gave their several specialties in
good shape A comedy skit entitled 1.-The
Busy Hotel, . brought the entertainment to a
close The same attractions will be given
every evening during the week, with the
usual matinees to-day Thursday, and Satur-
day.
Messrs. Fields and Hansen announce that
Miss Adele WeItenberg will open a special
engagement Wednesday night. This young
lady is n Hungarian dansuese, and her gypsy
dances have been most favorably criticisedSby
European critics.

tary burlesoue, "a Milk White Flag 1t is
only necessary to mention the name OF Hoyt

Since the Flag was last here it has been
materially changed. The funeral prepara-
tions, which caused considerable adverse
comment. have been modified so as to leave
no room for objection among the most exact
ing.
Another notable change is. the music is all
new. The same gorgeous costumes and
scenery are seen, and that vein of efferves-
cent fun and good-natured satire on the citi-
zen soldiery is there as in the original pro-
duction. There are few changes in the cast

simply outrageous and cannot be
justified by any fair-mlnded man.
We are glad that our citizens, gen.

notwithstanding the act and have
assured the company that their men
will be protected and provided with
accommodations while in our city.
Hotels and restaurants may ascertain
that boycotting can play both ways
hardly any of them can afford to
defy public opinion. 1t was an HID.
eral and ungenerous act on the part
of the railroad men, to say the least,
to ask parties to refuse accommoda-

landlords will not be further bull.
