"McCarty's Mishaps."

Farce comedy In Its best ex'
preston will be the initial attrac-
tion at the Grand Opera house,
commencing Wednesday April %,
for one night when that "funny
little woman" Miss st. George
Hussey will make her re-appear-
ance in an up to date version OF
the ever popular "McCarthy's
Mishaps" farce comedy, when well
presented is always an apprecia-
tive entertainment. Lively tunes,
spirited dancing, humorous songs,
good natured and fresh nonsense
form a very palatable dish. Nc
Carthy's Mishaps is a model affair
of its kind, and it's revival will
be agreeable news to theatre
goers here. Everything in the
modernized version of Mgr. Lor-
raine offers it, is said to be brisk,
lively and particularly interesting.
The entertainment depends solely
upon the individuality Of the per-
formers, therefore the cast has
been selected with great amount
of care. McCarthy's Mishaps is
conceded and undoubtedly is one
of the funniest comedies ever pro-
duced. Its continued success for
the past seven seasons with a most
excellent cast, has made it one of
the most popular and thoroughly
liked road attractions throughout
the United States. The strength
of the organization has always
been one which is accountable for
its tremendous success that the
play has obtained. Big business
should be the rule during this en-

BUY YOUR PIANOS AT HOME.

Why buy pianos from strangers
and commission agents whom you
do not know, and whose guarantee
is not worth the paper upon which
it lis written? Why give notes
when you purchase piaEo. bear.
ing "interest" and a lien besi5eSe
When you buy from strangers or
commission houses, the notes you
give are sent to the dealers and
When not discounted to banks or
money lenders by them, are trans
ferred to the manufacturers, who
use them for collateral. Hence
you do not know who holds these
notes and can get no extension
when they fall due.
We do not ask for notes bearing
interest. We are to be found at
home when you want an extension ;
besides we are here and keep your
piano in tune free of charge,
whilst you are paying for it.
Furthermore we will sell you a
better piano for less money and
upon easier terms, than you can
get from strangers, "who are here
today and away tomorrow"
1t will pay everybody contem-
plating the purchase of a piano to
call on US and get terms and prices
before placing their order. We
carry the largest stock and variety
of pianos in the south.
We have few bargains in Sec
ond hand uprights that we will
sell the coming week very low and
on easy payments.

In newspaper work, es in most
professional careers, men go on re-
peating themselves day after day,
week after week, year after year.
II they are in correspondence with
their environment, in other words,
il they keep pace with the times,
they succeed: II not, they soon
drift into Oblivion. The revolution
in journalism has changed all the
old order OF things. The days of
oracles have gone by, and a new
journalism has sprung up. 1t Is a
fact that much Of the change and
improvement is due to those who
started In life upon a country

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

The finest suburb in the city has
been crowded, pleased and adj
mired by hundreds and hundreds
OF visitors, who began to arrive on
Monday, increased in numbers on
Tuesday and came in masses yet
onWednesday, some with a firm set
purpose of advancing only the
aims of the Epworth league, and
others with the decided purpose of
sight seeing and leagueing, and
"Echoes" is proud to be able to say
that all who came among us de-
clare that they were highly pleased
with the people of West End and
the lovely suburb wherein they
found their homes.
Some credit is due to the West
End Street Car company for hav-
ing been ready to handle the large
crowds, on mornings and evenings,
throughout the week. The old half
hour schedule service was resumed
and maintained the large combi-
nation car was continually on the
track and on Friday morning,
when the crowds seemed to be the
thickest, extra cars afforded relief
to the regular runs, and though the
cars were densely packed, Gan an
noyance more to the traveller than
to the car company ITSELF, no jar or
accident marred the good humor
OF the crowds, and our street car
conductors and motormen still
speak wonderingly that some Of
our former churlish San Antonio
Doors, who could afford compla-
Gently to keep their seats, while
ladies were intented to be kept
standing, were SO much struck
with the grace and beauty of the
young Texas ladies, who made the
greatest number among the wish
tors, that they actually stood up
with hundreds of others without
grumbling, and could, without sore
ness, see most of the seats given
up to the fair sex.
"Echoes" learns with regret
that there is some dissatisfaction
on the part Of some of those who
were struck under recent order
of 1.-THE street car company at West
End, to issue no more school
tickets and call in all passes; they
ought to be glad that by so doing
the street car company feels itself
enabled to give US better service,
beside the blame rests mostly with
those who consider themselves
sufferers now. In majority OF
cases there was no proper use, but
an improper abuse Of 'passes,' and
West End having a public school
/ for the smaller grades-whlch
ought to still be, and no doubt will
be, enlarged to more grades after
school vacation those is at the
worst now only q hardship on a
few who never tried '!to ride a
borrowed horse to DEATH" and
these feel glad that the service has
improved.
