AT THE THEATER.
Primrose and Vests MInstreIs This
Afternoon and Tonight.

Primrose & Vests Minstrels will be
the attraction to-day at a matinee and
night performance 1t was very evident
that Primrose & West experienced none
of the financial drawbacks and disastrous
results last season which many travel
ing combinations experienced. 1t was the
encouragement that their efforts were re-
warded with. which induced them to
make an extraordinary Investment the
result of which is without doubt the
greatest venture attempted in the min
Strel line. Two distinct organizati ons
are rolled into one. Three military bands.
one pickaninny band under the able
dictatorship of a European conductor is
an especial feature. All are uniformed.
Two distinct first parts are a. few of the
features promised and the promises of
with that degree of faith which means
crowded houses.
Monday night Charley's Aunt will be
presented for the second time here. There
has been so much written about this lively
play that most theater-goers are familiar
with it's story. The old lady wears well

thousand. She is making her second tour
of America, drawing the same large
houses and causing all who see her to
forget their troubles
The Daughtersaof the Confederacy will
give a southern entertainment at Masonic
temple April T. The ladies will endeavor
to reproduce the days of the sixties, both
in the camps and in the homes. MessrS.
Blois and Reeves, Mrs. Wickenburg and
Miss Howard will aid in making the even
ing a success. The Daughters of the Con-
federacy have already established rep
utation as entertainers. The cause is one
that appeals to every loyal heart.
Mr.. Clarence w. Murphy, travelling pas
senger agent of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, entertained a number of his friends
at Ludden q Bates piano warehouse
yesterday with piano recital. The ar
fair was entirely impromptu. Mr. Bates

night before last from Pittsburg, Pa, con-
corning criminal badly wanted there,
who was supposed to be under arrest here

The telegram was referred to Chief Nc
Dermott He knew of no such party hav-

Ashe some time ago here, on the request
of Chief Detective O'Brien of New York
who probably sent photograph to Pitts
burg also. Ashe was released, however
as the New York people did not make out
their case. Chief McDermott is satisfied
that there is some mistake, as he knows
Pittsburg's chief well, and would GER
