and flowers under his feet. Now at
this beautiful manor he faces, for the
first time, the worlds bitterness. He
learns that Of all he and his mother
possessed only a few thousand dollars
remain. Worse than that, the mother
of the girl he loves spurns him because
he is penniless, insults him and his
! mother, and haughtily admonishes the
young man that any attempt on his
part ito make the acquaintance of her
daughter" will be regarded as impeI-
tinent and obnoxious. There is sit

face. Dodging tailors who want their
bills paid is picnic compared with
this. Frederick has rescued the girl
! from drowning, but because he pulled
: her out of the water by the foot her
mother is grievously offended and de-
nounces the familiarity instead of
her daughters life. The daughter
does not share her mammals dislike of
the gallant Bostonian, so, of course,

Edward Harrigan is by no means a
stranger among us, having played here
several times, but much interest is felt
in his forthcoming engagement and he
is sure to be greeted with large audi
ences. There is something very near
akin to genius in his combined talents

thing he has done is Reilly and the
600, which will be played here on
tuesday and Wednesday, August %
