AT O'BRIEN'S.

Never before in the history of O'Brien's
opera house has there been seen such a
performance as that of last night. From
advance notices and "der bicktures on der
valr' it was readily to be seen that the
dishes of delicacies to be served were for
men only and in consequence large
number turned out. There was varied
menu, heavily spiced with "damns'' and
other phrases, the whole closing with the
dance which made the Chicago midway
famous. There were many who enjoyed
the final, but their appetites were whetted
when promised more tonight.
The stage of an opera house is a place
for legitimate theatricals, but the line
should be drawn on such performance
as that of last night.

DID YOU SEE THE BIG RED TRACKS
NO JOKE, WE ALWAYS LEAD.

No matter what we do, dear boys,
The others always follow.
They want to steal our writer's joys,
And try to beat us hollow.
They looked this glorious winter morn
And saw the big red tracks
That pointed out the road forlorn
For those who follow Saks.
Sail in. dear friends, we always lead,
And you can try to follow,
But Saks can tell the public need,
And he will beat you hollow.
No use to say you do not know,
The public will be righted,
They go to Saks and clearly show

was amazed to see the preacher

mounting the platform straightway
began preaching against the evils
