When that combination of absurdi-
ties called "A Baggage Check" was
here last season the patrons of the
Avenue Theater pronounced it "a hot
show" It is back at the Avenue for
all this week. and the two big audi
enceS which saw it yesterday afternoon
and evening said it was a hotter"
show than ever All the best people
of last years production have been
retained. and the company has been
improved by Strengthening the weak
parts. The show made a decided hit
yesterday.
"A Baggage Check is merely a
string of amusing incidents put to-
gethsr with just enough conference te
family resemble a plot. Ii is like
other so-called farce comedies in this.
but is unlike many Of them in being
in its way really bright and clever.

GUILELESS TOM GALLAGHER.
A Fake Mahatma Message Sets Him
to Digging.

Three men with pickaxes and spades
were working with feverish haste in
the alley back of Tom Gallagher's sa-
loon on Third street yesterday after
noon.
Every once in while Tom would
come to the rear door of his dispensary
and anxiously inquire of the delivers,
anything YETI"
"None." was the answer always, and
Tom would return to the bar while the
diggers worked harder than ever.
About o'clock the alley looked like
prospect hole, and still the men dug.
James r. Kelly, good friend of Gal
lagher's, disappeared mysteriously two
years ago. Hearing of the wonderful
faculties of Mrs. Baldwin, the "mahat-
ma" Gallagher wrote to her for infor.
nation as to Kelly's whereabouts.
Back came the answer, under a
special delivery stamp: "Your friend
Kelly was murdered the same day he
disappeared. He is buried in the alley
back of your saloon, five feet from the
! door,
Astounded by this startling intelli.
gence, Gallagher sent for Chief OF Pc
lice Smith and put the men to work
looking for Kelly's bones.
After they had worked to no purpose
for several hours, Gallagher called then
off, roundly denouncing all white ma
hatmas.
Gallagher was still tuning when hi
was made acquainted with the fact tina
the answer was counterfeit perpetra
ted by some of his friends.
There was very small cash bust
ness done at Toms saloon last night
but a great many drinks were disposed
of for all that.
[The above from Minneapolis pa
per will interest many of our readers
as Tom is well known here. EDS

LITERARY NOTES.

Mark Hanna, the most talked about
man in the country, is really little
known, and little is actually known of
his family. Mrs. e. f. Mclean of Gin
cinnati, who contributed 1.-The Coming
First Lady of the Land" to the De-
cember Midland Monthly, Des Moines,
Iowa. will haze in the January issue
Of the magazine non-political sketch
of"Mark Hanna and his family" with
fourteen large portraits and views.
Mrs. Mclean is the only writer who
has been able to obtain the portraits of
Mark Hanna's charming family, and
her sketch is enriched by a personal ac-
quaintance with the subject. The
anthor of Ben Bolt" with family por-
traits, and the original song loaned by
the poets daughter, is another feature
of the number. A drawing by Rossetti,
hitherto unpublished, with portraits OF
the artist poet, presented 10y the poets
brother, w. Nj. Rossetti, accompany
an able paper by j. G. Hume. Grant:
