place in the affections of the amusement
public so long. Her jollification is bound
less. Miss McHenry belongs to a school
of merry makers which strictly forbids
the condescensfon to vulgar or coarse
methods. Whatever she undertakes she
does with proper regard for the most
rigid propriety for her audience. 1t is
most commendable of her to recognize a
spirit of refinement even in a gathering
of modern farce comedy admirers, and no
wonder she attracts the class of people
so desirable from box office point of
consideration. Miss McHepry has
strengthened her company, offering many
opportunities for the introduction of
catchy songs, pretty dances, original mu-
sic and new and novel specialties.
SOL SMITH RUSSELL.
Sol Smith Russell has made most elab-
crate preparations for his new comedy,
which he will produce here for his COM
ing engagement, which takes place next
Thursday evening, the 18th.
Martha Morton, the authoress of Mr..
RusselPs play is said to have done her
best work in "A BACHELORS RO-
NANCE" The play is in four acts and
will be produced with complete special
scenery painted by the great artist. Ho-
mer F. Emens, of New York.
Mr. Russell has advanced to that de-
gree where he is able to touch with the
dellcacy of an inspiration the tenderest
and most responsive chords of human
sympathy. The purest and most ennob-
ling emotions are appealed to.

is HE THE RIGHT MAN2

For some time the officials of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad have been
aware that they were losing considerable
brass, but could get no trace of what had
been stolen. The local police officers
were notified of the loss and kept sharp
lookout for the thieves. Yesterday after
noon, after lively chase of three blocks,
Officers Nix, Johnston and Kirkley ar
rested Claude Brown on a charge OF lar
ceny of brass and locked him in the city
prison. If the man proves to be the one
wanted 1t will be quite a feather in these
officers caps as the disappearance of
brass causes the company not a small
loss. For quite while it seemed that a
regularly organized gang were plying
their nefarious trade in thus robbing the
railroads and many efforts are being
made to dislodge them and send them
out of temptations way.

Several of the larger buildings have al

The ground is partly staked off, and the

Thursday afternoon by John Smacker,

AT O'BRIEN'S.

Almost every seat at O'Brien's was oc-
cupied last night, the occasion being the
advent of Cissy Fitzgerald, of national
reputation as a "winker." Cissy was
present and SO was her wink and she
winked at the boys and some of them
were happy. Something on the order of
the sensational was expected owing to
the lavish spread of printers ink every
where as to that wink and Cissy's man
ner of handling her skirts.
Well, she has a peculiar wink, yet there
was little suggestive in it. Her drapery,
as exposed to view, was neat Of design
and ample in its plentitude. She was not
averse to showing it, yet there have been
others at O'Briens who displayed far
more of their neither extremities than
did the much-tallxed of damsel last night.

an early attraction at the opera house,
and the management could not have Sc
lected anything better suited to the
tastes of our people than this popular
artist and his excellent company in the
successful musical spectacular extrava-
ganza "Off the Eearth" The play has
been rewritten and improved by the in
PRODUCTION of new acts and the latest and
most popular songs, many of which were
especially written for Mr.. Foy and his
coadjutors in fun making.
A company of forty well selected people
assist the star, among them being Mary
Marble, Mari de Campi, Oscar Hall, Ger
trude and Agness Sage, and host of the
prettiest and best dressed young ladies
on the stage.
New and elegant scenery has been
painted and the tricks of the trade are
all used to cause that merriment that
theater goers are so anxious for at this
season.
Eddie Foy is whole show in himself,
but Manager Dunno has surrounded him
with the best artists possible to engage,
and a full house should be the rule in
our city as it has been at every point
visited. Tickets now on sale.
