The dramatization of Mr.. Townsend's
entertaining stories by the we'll known
dramatic author, Augustus Thomas has
been exceedingly well done. and Manager
Jacob Lift has provided a lot of new
scenery.
Tie innumerable friends and acquaint

The Deaf Heart.

"The Dead Heart" the play In which

that has been infrequently seen in this
city. It's first presentation here was in
1868. aud Edwin Adams, one OF the most
promising and versatile actors Of the

hero of the drama. the same part that
Mr.. O'Ncill interpreted last evening. 10
was never popular play although the
principal character was regarded as n
strong avenue through which to illus
trate the strength OF "star. Probably
that is the reason why Mr.. O'Neili auded
IL to his repertoire this season. 1t cannot
be regarded as much of an addition, at
least not In its present state, and II will
only afford Mr.. O'Neill n respite from
the other plays he has been seen in so
frequently.
1t is gloomy play and embodies the
ideas contained in Dickens world fam mous

Boston, Oct. l6 Tho opposition Of

magnates proposition that each league
club should put up $1,000 in cash
toward fund TO be divided among the
first three teams. He thinks that $1,000 TO
the winners of tho pcnnant 5000 TO the
second team and $1,000 to the third team
would be of sufficient inducement to
make the teams hustle even harder than
