manager, made a brief address from
the stage Saturday evening thanking
the people for their support and
promising a return engagement in
the Spring. No troupe has laid a
better foundation for Il secoud en-

houses await them.

much more than ordinary merit,
and has a good support. Mr.. Drew,
the excellent manager, is a gentle
manly business man, pays his bills

ny a very favorable impression. His
emphatic suppression of improper
conduct in the hall is commendable,
and receives hearty endorsement.

How 20 Live Lone.

Some curious figures have lately been
shade public by celebrated Berlin
physician, which seem to point to the
fact that II a man wants to live long
and preserve his health ana strength
he ought to marry. Among unmarried
men between the ages of 30 and 40
the death rate Is q per cent. Among
married men between the same ages
1t Is only Is per cent. For fOrty-One
bachelors who live to be 40 years of
age. seventy-eight married men trium-
phantly arrive ut the same period. The
difference gets all the more marked as
