Appears at the BijOu i'm New York i'm
'sThe Widow JoneS.''
NEW YORK, March 23.-May Irwin
appeared at the Bijou last night and a
big audience yelled itself hoarse to hear
"The Widow Jones'"
It was the same May Irwin, but not
the same Widow Jones. With the ex-
ception of one or two old favorites that
Miss Irwin's friends must hear or raise a
riot, the specialties are all new, and the
performance, on its return to town, goes
with more snap and sparkle than ever.
OF course May Irwin, who is tre-
mendous favorite here, was magnetic
and pleasing. The house went wild over
her,ripped its gloves and strained its voice.
She got bouquets bigger than herself,
which means a tolerable size. and had to
make speech.
Living pictures illustrated some of her
darky songs, which is an innovation.

Reading VIII Mourn the Loss of Its
, Peculiar Saloon FeaHIs.
READING, Pa. March 23.-Judge
Endlich has delivered q powerful blow
to the local saloonkeepers. He decided
that lunches dare not be served in the
future. He says that it is violation of
the law, and proprietors who do not obey
the order will be refused licenses next
year.
Lunches, especially on Saturday
nights, are feature of almost every sa-
loon in town. One of the local papers
every Saturday prints cards from dozens
of saloons, all of which read about alike
and are as follows:
"Don't fail to call at tonight.
SRuerkrout and pigs feet. Biggest

Court to Complain.

The case against Col. F. L. Jeltz, the
colored editor, has been dis missed by re-
quest of the prosecuting witness, Mrs.
VIM. Grubbs. The reason given is that
she did not wish to appear in police

she was allowed to follow her own incli-

and Miss Jennie Newcomb she spoke be-
fore the students. Thee three girls are
now in the Army as the collegiate dele

on old Bryan Mawr student, was allowed
to stay in the college building over

persuaded her to put on her college
gown and go to q recitation. She did,
and when the German professor thought
she was a now student ana called on her
