A. schoolboy once wrote an essay in
which he said: "A horse is an animal
with four corners, and leg at each cor

eombinati ton on two of his legs at a time;

one, but a racer keeps 'em all a goin

Primrose 6 VESTS New Big Minstrers

Primrose g. Vests New Big MinstreIs.

lead in the minstrel business. 1t takes
two cars to transport the special scenery
and accessories used by Primrose & West
in producing their entertainment entitled
"Minstrelsy Past and Present" Regard
ing novelty character and magnitude.
no minstrel organization ever announced
has such decided advantage as Prim-
rose e. Vests latest venture. 1t Is a
most pronounced innovation, to begin
with, as the Introduction of whites and
blacks is in itself a novel scheme, and
then, when taken into consideration that
the company thus arranged is the largest
in the world, some idea may be obtained
as to the real strength of the entertain
ment afforded. The object of such a COM
binatlon of white and colored talent is
to illustrate, as far as practicable, the
advancement made in negro minstrelsy
since the original band of so-cailed sere-
naders introduced that pleasing form of
wholesome entertainment. The costum-
ing and scenic details for the new big
show this year are said to outrival the
most extravagant investment in that d.
rection ever made.
George Wilson, the greatest Of the
great MINISTRIES, is with this combination.
The date for their appearance here Is

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.

Though the audience at O'Brien's was
small last night patriotism was large.
| The attraction, 1.-The American Girl, has
many strong lines, and they were
| brought out with so much emphasis as
| to evoke hearty applause from those
present endowed with national love for
| things American.
1.-THE American Girl' is a comedy, the
scenes of which are laid on both sides of
| the ocean. A second son of an English
earl, an artist, meets a beautiful Vir-
gilman and under an assumed name mar
ries her. His father dies and his elder
brother comes to America in search of
him. Learning that he is in New York
he hastens thither and finds him about to
embark for home, though in a very pre-
carious condition. He writes his wife
| that he is going to England with his
brother, but will return at once. The
letter is returned and he comes back
in search of her. She is gone and her
whereabouts are unknown.
A villain looms up and tries to marry
the girl but she keeps her secret, refus-
ing him at the same time She comes to
England in hopes of finding her husband,
whom she believes true to her.
The villain again appears in the shape
OF agent IOr an dQNenluTeSS, the lIduy
Georgiana Derwent, who is fighting the
American girls husband in court for til
tie to the property of his father
An English lord figures conspicuously,
and with the assistance of an American
hustler, theatrical manager and an
American actress, brings the missing
husband and wife together and all ends
happily.
Two little maidenS, one assuming the
role of a boy, appear conspicuously and
prove themselves adopts on the stage.
They are cute, attractive and at home in
their roles, and sing some very pretty
songs in manner to win much applause.
1.-THE American Girl will be repeated
at matinee and tonight and should draw
large audiences.

A MATTER OF FAIRNESS.

Judge Burnett's objection to the
GAzETTE's criticism of his arti-
Gle cannot be sustained. The
Judge says the following state
ment he made "the aggregate of
all the money in the U. S. is the
true measure of normal values of
commodities here" was unfairly
criticised for the following por-
ton was omitted:
"The aggregate of all the
money of nations trading inter-
nationally is the true measure of
normal values of commodities
consumed by them"
The second proposition does
not modify nor explain the first.
It possibly contradicts the first
and that is only what this paper
did. However, both statements
re . essentially wrong. Were
.ither true, prices would continu-
lily rise, for the amount of money
is continually increasing.
Again, Judge Burnett calls
our statement "that the law of
1873 was not a free silver law
and has never been repealed" an
astounding error,'' and invites
attention to the following section
of the Sherman law of 1890:
"Sec. 5.-That SO much of the
act of Feb. 28, 1873, entitled,
An act to authorize the coinage
of the standard silver dollar and
to restore its legal tender charac-
ter as requires the monthly pur-
chase and coinage of not less than
two million dollars, nor more
than four million dollars worth
of silver bullion, is hereby re-
rea1ed. ("
Judge Burnett is all able law
yer and certainly understands that
the repeal of part, SO muth, of
law does not repeal the law.
The judge does not quote the
section in question correctly. 1t
"That so much of the

in 1893. The law of 1878 has
