cal way. The only attraction at the
Opera House was Land oil the Mo-
night SUM-" pretty coed attraction.

MIR. Field has been doinga biz business

Out il Los Angeles, Cal, they think
Thomas keeue Is tine only tragedlsn
now living. A writer out there remarks
that after Keene shall 90 down TO
dusty death there will be 70 melan-
cnolly Dane TO pace the gloomy halls OF
Elsnore; no dusky Moore TO doubt the
fealty Of women; no crook backed
Richard TO mock the hopes aud fears OF
those who oppose an am oltlon, STRIKING
through treachery to A blood stained
throne" This is a clever contribution,
ond 'twere sad indeed II 'twere so. Our
own Bobby Downing should learn OF
this.
A snake charmer who came to this
country some weeks aso with twenty
eight snakes was charged duty on the
reptiles by the customs officers. The
case was appealed and won. The charm
er claimed the snakes were tools OF
trade" and should not pay duty as ami
mails. 1t is a case where the American
snake charmer is compelled by VERDI
age Of the law to submit TO competition
from abroad The tariff should be
amended so that the American snake
and those engaged in its cultivation
should be protected. We have snakes
here, and shall frown upon serpentine
immigration under any guise.
Sadie Hasson, in ga Kentucky Girl"
who appeared at the Grand some time
since, is back in this section again, ana
last night appeared In SisterSviie, and
tomorrow night is billed for Belalre.
The Burglar" Company, that closed a
few DAYS since, is not A. q. Scammons',
but one that was managed by Z. Win

what he is talking about.

appeared at the Opera House.
Frohman's company will present the
great comedy, Jane, az the Opera House
on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Jane is sure TO draw well.
Those fresh serio-comics who pick out
some one ia the audience and sing their
"Georgie" and other tough songs at. aud
make a guy Of, him, should be sup
pressed. Some men will not have 1t. Ia
Toronto recently the man picked out
pulled an orange out OF his pocket and
caught the S. c. between the eyes,
knocking her senseless.
The talk about a new theatre for
Wheeling is talk only The city needs
a pew play house as badly as it needs a
new city prison. So far no person can
be found who is willing TO back such
venture financially. Ii is q mistake e.
