l.a., Performance This Evening.

The Moore x Livingstone company
gave last evening the play OF "Fair VIZ
ginia, the plot being laid in the southern
States during the Rebellion, and has we
think been played here before under an
other name. Be that as il may it gave
Mr.. Newell and Miss De Vernon chance
to again show their histronic talent at
the best. IL is wonderful how one so
Young as Miss De Vernon can so faith-
fully depict the various passions, not
only by voice and manner, but by facial
expression as well. The absence OF many
of the Calumet frequenters OF the opera
house was conspicuous. II this is caused
by the supposition that because the ad-
mission fee is so small the entertainment
is not worth attending, they are greatly
mistaken, for Mr., Newell and Miss DE
Vernon are the equals OF many OF those
who are thought much OF on the metro
polItan boards. The play tonight is one
of Sir Henry Irying's fayorites, and for
those who attend we bespeak an evening
OF rare enjoyment and We do hope that
many who so far have absented
themselves perhaps for the above reason,
will make point OF attending 30 that
they may be in position to agree with
the EDITORS endorsement OF Mr.. Newell
and his highly accomplished wife. In ad
dition to which they might obtain the
$40 gold piece which is to be given to
the holder OF the lucky number.

a Sad Example,

Persons walking down Fifth street OF
an evening after dark are no doubt sur
prised at the number OF young girls pa
radng up and down without any appar-
ent object but that OF seeing and being
seen. Parents should, as far as possible,
put stop to this practice by keeping
the girls at home, as they are very liable
to meet with persons whose companion
ship is far from beneficial to them. Only
yesterday Marshal Beck arrested two
young girls, one only about 16 who had
been absent from home for three days and
three nights. This child could scarcely
know what she was bringing on herself.
but her companion Who was somewhat
older had presumably led her away into
paths which can only end in sinful life,
perhaps followed by the prison, suicide
and death. After being locked up shurt
time the marshal, upon their promise to
behave themselves for the future, let them
out and took the younger one to her
mother who was almost distracted.
There is, we hear, a saloon and some
rooms let to transients in Front street
that the marshal should keep his eyes
upon, and which he ia probably doing.

A Good Story Told BY
a Sewing Machine
Agent.
A Smoking Car Experience
with a Lady VINO Was Very Fond OF
Her Little DOg-COpper COun-
try Notes.

When it comes to peculiar methods OF
advertising, a local sewing machine agen-
cy takes the cake" Their latest ia to
paint the name of the machine they sell
on the back OF pure white dog which is
pet of one of the employees at the
agency. The dog is the same one the
agent tells the story about which he
vouches for. but which may be stretched
point ortwo. According to his story he
was on his way to Marquette few days
ago and when the train stopped at way
station lady with the pet dog boarded
the train, but as the other coaches were
all full. she had to 60 into the smoker
The sewing machine man with some
friends were playing cards in the car and
were smoking pipes. The lady was PLAIN
lyirritated with this and soon demanded
OF the conductor that the men be made
to stop smoking, which they re-
fused to do. What did tie lady do but
snatch our agents pipe, which was
fine one and greatly valued, from his
mouth and throw it out OF the car win
dow. The sewing machine man without
a word snatched the lady's pet canine
from her lap and threw it out OF the win
dow also. For a moment the air was
warm, but the lady soon resumed COM
posure and said nothing until they
reached the next station when she hand
ed the conductor telegram to send to
the sheriff at Marquette. Now. the con-
ductor was friend OF the sewing ma
chine man, and, reading the message,
which asked the officer OF the law to be at
the Marquette depot to arrest the man
who had taken her dog. he told the agent
of the telegram, but that individual
wasn't going to be bluffed and stayed
on the train until they got to Marquette
where the sheriff was the first man to
meet him. He demonstrated, but all in
vain, the warrant was out and he had to
arrest him. The lady came up and they
both told their story to the sheriff, the
sewing machine man saying that she
threw his pipe way and he was justified
in throwing the dog out of the window.
When the argument was at its hottest
what do they see but the dog coming up
the railroad track at full speed smoking
the pipe. ~
That is the way the story is told by the
agent himself, but, as said before. NAV
be stretched few points.
