O'FLARITY'S VACATION.

Audience Last Night.

A good speciality performance was
given at the Academy of Music last
evening by the Conroy & Fox combina-
ton which appeared in F'larity's
Vacation" before a good sized audience.
The play which was written especially
for these clever comedians can boast of
a fairly good plot and one that is eX-
ceeedingly funny. abounding in the
most complicated situations, creating
much merriment among the audience.
1t Is not often that a performance of
this kind Is SO well balanced. where
each of the east Is equal to the require
ments. but in "O'Flarity's Vacation"
there was not weak performer among
them, all being alive and up to date in
their particular line.
The two stars. COnroy & Fox are too
well known to require much comment
They are the same laugh provoking.
inimitable fun-makers they always
were and kept the audience in roar
all the time they were on the stage.
The many new and catchy songs which
they sang were encored again and
again. Equally entertaining were the
speclalties of Harry o. HAYES and
Ralph NJ. Post. assisted by Miss Kate
Allen. The acrObatic feats of the for

programme was the singing of Miss

VERY SERIOUS JOKING.
II Induced Ja cob Bsddcrs, Of Green Ridge
TO Commit Suicide.

Jacob Badders, As years of age. of
Ross avenue. committed suicide Mon
day night by swallowing strychnine
An inquest by Coroner Longstreet yes
terday revealed the fact that Badders
was prompted to the deed by the taunts
of friends about his part In case in
court on Monday. He was the defend
ant and the charge was assault and
battery. The jury returned a verdict
OF guilty yesterday.
After the trial several of his friends
joked Badders and told him he had
been found not guilty but was directed
to pay half the costs. 1t preyed upon
his mind, and after supper he took the
fatal dose. He fought the efforts of his
relatives and DIR. d. II. jenkins to save
him. and died at IL o'clock.
Coroner Longs!reet visited the dead
mans home yesterday morning and
impanneled jury. A post-mortem ex-
animation revealed the presence of the
strychnine taken the night before which

poison was taken with suicidal intent.

NICHOLS MADE AN ASSAULT.
Used u Eiat-1ron with Serious Effect on
Constable Miller.

An assault was made on Constable
]. S. Miller Saturday by Lee w.
Nichols, at the iatter's home on Vine
street. between Wyoming and WASH
lngtOn avenues. The constable was
seriously injured. Nichols has not been
arrested.
Constable Miller says he went to
Nichols residence to serve q land
lords warrant at the instance of Mr.
prendergast. who lives on the oppo-
site side of the street and sub
lets the house to Nichols The
could not be deferred until Monday,
and had seated himself at the kitchen
liable to make memorandum ON the
warrant, when Nichols seized fiat
Iron and struck him "a blow on the head.
lie struck the constable with the iron
three times breaking his arm and jaw
bone, cutting his ear and ripping his
scalp open.
Miller managed to escape from the
house. Dr. Fulton was summoned to
attend him at his home. He is badly
but not fatally injured.
MIR. Nichols version of the affray is
somewhat different than the consta-
bles. He says than when Mr.. Miller
came into the house he acted in q very
gentlemanly way. Nichols protested
and Miller took an iron from the stove
and in his attempt to strike Nichols
burned the latter's hand severely
Nichols says he thereupon knocked the
coustable down and the latter in his
descent struck the stove and sustained
some burns and bruises.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

This evening at the Academy OF Mnsic
Paradise Alley" the. very newest up-to-
date musical comedy, will DE presented
with the aid of special scenery ana some
OF the most extraordinary effects ever
seen on a stage in this country. With
such u company of star artists as Is an
nounced the piece cannot fail TO make a
deep impression on all Intelligent theater-
goers. 1t Is seldom indeed that such a
galaxy of talent is engaged In a single
play as Barney Fagen, Sam j. Ryan, Lily
Post, Frank VI. wills. lola Pomeroy. John
Queen and Henrietta Byron. The piece
abOunds in the latest songs. catchy melo.
dies, bright dialogues. curious mechanical
and electrical effects and side-splittins
scenes. The favorite song, 1.-The Sunshine
of Paradise Alley" which was suggested
by this play. will be grandly sung BY the
finest chorus ever heard in a musical COM
edy.
Bidding for actors is guarded by their
supply Of public favor. Stage talent Is
bough; and sold like everything else; the
manager looking for talent, deals in his
peculiar commodity with a similarity OF
the average Wall street speculator. The
talent that usually pleases the average
theater-goer, eventually bears the fruit
of distinction. Probably few comedians
upon the stage are better known and liked
than that inmitabl king of buffoOnery,
Joe OFT, who will initiate his audience into
the diversified secrets of astronomy in
his new play 1.-The Star GaZer.' to be
presented at the Academy Thursday even
ing. MIR. OFT is an accentric character
creator of the very highest type. His
name probably has done as much toward
the assembly of large audiences as any
recent year entertainer. He has sold his
talent to the highest bidder. at extrava-
CANT figures and yet large profits have al
ways been the outcome for his manager.
