1t is very probable that the case of the
state against Mary Tight will not be
tired. Some years ago the woman was
accused Of stealing a cloak, and she was
indicted for the alleged theft. Bonds were
given for her appearance, but in some
way the case drifted by, and was never
more thought of until the action was
brought on the bonds, Then the bonds
men brought her into court and had her
arra.gned. AS she has married since the
trouble, and is much respected in the
small circle in which she moves, it is
probable that the case will be dropped.
It was continued in court on Tuesday.
1t will be good news to our musical
readers to know that the great and much
talked of Sousa's Grand Concert Band
is soon to be heard here in concert. There
is hardly question as to the superiority
of this organization and it Is in great de-
mand everywhere. Sousa has made his
really superior band popular with all
classes by playing classic music as it vas
never before treated by band, and by
giving with this same elevated style also
the simplest airs superbly set and many
OF his own justly famous marches, which
are now played by all bands and most
pianists all over America and Europe.

Spectacular pantomime performances
aro rare in this country, and the Hanlons
are easily the leaders in this famous
form of entertainment One of their
first successes in this country was Fan
tasma," which is to be the attraction at
the Bijou following "a Railroad Ticket"
Before the Hanlons produced this now
famous pantomime, they We're advised by
critics and no doubt we'll meaning
friends, against the venture, being told
that American audiences would not care
for nor understand this style of enter
tainment. But the Han.ons were not to
be convinced by this argument, but ESQ
lutely went to work with both brains and
capital as goodly amount OF each is re-
quired for undertakings of this kind, and
the result was sFantasma." That their
Judgment was correct is evinced by the
almost unprecedented success and lon
geyity that. has befalen this spectacle.
That "Fantasma" has been SO long liy-
ed is attributed by the management, not
alone from the fact that it is always be-
ing added to and changed, until now
there is scarcely any vestige of the orig
inal remaining. In fact, each season is
practically a new performance. It is
promised that this time will. be no excep-
ton TO the rule. and that new features
abound throughout
