ADJUSTMENTS.
"TRILBY."

"Trilbv." the most successful play
written in fifty years, which is now the
reigning success in New York and Chi
cago. will be brought here for two per-
formances next Saturday, December
18th. matinee and evening, at the Opera
House This will be the only visit mere,
as the great company playing IrllDy IS
to make an extensive tour throughout
the Western cities in September. All
the beautiful scenery, costumes ana or
iginal music will be brought direct from
New York and the company will be IN
der the direction of William A. Brady.
There was no difference OF opinion
among the members of large audience
gathered together to witness the first
representation on the stage OF Du Maur-
ier's famous novel. The favorable YER
dict was unanimous. The play "Tril-
nv" is n grand success, and will become
as Dopular as the novel. The attention
Of the audience was won at the begin
ming. and the interest kept up till the
end Mr.. Potter has made . play that
fairly teens with action and dramatic
effect. Every situation is reasonable
and natural. There are no anu-cil-
makes. no repetition, no theatre de-
vices. and the development Of the story
is logical and consistent at all times.
"a BAGGAGE CHECK"
The attraction at the Grand Opera
House next Friday and Saturday will
be Charles E. Blaney's furiously funny
farce comedy. "a Baggage Check" now
in its second season of success. Mr..
BIaney has given us three funny farces
under such absurd titles as "a Railroad
Ticket" "a Summer Blizzard" and "A
Run on the Bank" We can rest as
sured that "a Baggage Check" will be
I'D to the standard. This piece has
been entirely revised and reconstruct
ed. leaving nothing to be desired in the
way of funny situations and good spe-
cialtfes. Being well aware of the fact
that the theatre going public of to-day
demand something besides the usual
singing and dancing, the cast of this
company has been engaged chiefly for
the individual specialties. First comes
the funny little comedian, James T.
Kelly. seen here before in Mr.. Blaney's
"A Railroad Ticket" who has made
many friends by his quaint Irish say
lQSS. supporting MI. Ntllg Will NC
found w. J. Sully, Louise Martinetti,
Charles Morgan, Lizzie MelrOse, Ida
Clark and the famous Nicholas sisters,
in their famous acrobatic dance.
JAMES REILLY TONIGHT.
The attraction at the Grand Opera
House the first three nights of this
week is one that should crowd the house
at every performance. James A. Reilly
is an actor and vocalist of no mean abil-
ity. and is a general favOrite with the
Wheeling theatre goers, who have many
times listened to his sweet singing and
saw his antics on the stage. In the
character of the happy German lad,
Reilly is the only actor who can accept
ably fill the place left vacant by the
death Of the elder Emmett. The COM
pany supporting Mr.. Reilly this season
is an excellent one, and has been the
object of many complimentary notices
from the press wherever it has ap-
peared.

THIRD PRESBYTERIAN CHOIR.

THIRD PRESBYTERIAN CHOIR.
The choir of the Third Presbyterian
Church is certainly worthy of much
praise. Prof. Clemens has been the di-
rector of this choir for the past few
months, and his work is most efficient
and is highly appreciated by the mem
bers of the congregation and the people
of the South Side. Mrs. Williams. Mrs
Fulton and Mrs. Sonderman are the
soprano singers; Miss Lulu Ferguson
and Miss Rosenberg, alto; Messrs. Cor
don and Bentz, bassO; Mr.. Arthur Dunn,
tenor The new organ gives perfect
satisfaction, and is played by Miss Liz
zie Bickerton. Her playing is in every
way satisfactory and greatly appre-
ciated by all.

1t is funny to see Republican
merchants advertising in the Jour.

sugar for 81. We hardly thought
the Journal would do it. Last fall,
just before the election, when some
Democratic merchants around here
were selling 20 pounds for dollar,
the Journal had an awful spell
about 1T and charged that the Dem
ocratic Committee were paying
them TO do it, and made the proph
ecy that sixty days after the election
these same merchants would be
charging seven and eight cents per
pound for it, but instead it is lower

A SHEEPISH FELLOW.

There was an interesting case in
the Justice Court of Squire God.
win last Monday. The facts were
about as follows: j. Allen Faw.
cett had Nelson Manear, q son of
@. W. Manear arrested for stealing
a sheep. The evidence was that
young Manear stole the sheep one
night last fall and took it to the
house OF man named Hartley, his
father-in-law and got him to help
Elm kill and dress it, between
eleven and one o'clock at night.
lie told Hartley that he had bought
the sheep. The head was cut off
and hung up in a bush and found
there by Fawcett, who recognized
his ear marks on it. He also found
one OF Hartley's boys with the pelt,
using it to ride on and the boy con-
fessed to where he had gotten it. The
prisoner told several different
stories about it and was wound up
in them all and almost convicted
himself. The Justice sentenced
him to pay a fine OF $40 and the
cost and thirty days in jail, where
ne is now serving out his sentence
and boarding off Of the county, but
getting no mutton to eat. 1t was
a very sheepish thing for him to do
and it will be a lesson to others who
are too fond Of mutton.

When it is considered that an
alleged Republican newspaper at

books for the pee pie, doing this

to which it pretends to belong. the
query becomes, what is the motive
that is behind its conduct? It is
an absurd, indecent and illogical

The Republicans of the State are
lighting and quarreling among
themselves like Kilkenny kats, over
the session of the late lamented
Legislature. The leaders accusing
each other of being bought by rival
book concerns and making ugly
faces in manner very amusing to
the Democrats. 1t is an old adage
that "when thieves fall out and
fight, honest men get their dues, !"
and we say con with the dance. let
JOY be unconfned." We have al
ways claimed that if the Repub-
lican party of the State could get
rope enough it would hang itself.
