"Shamus O'Brien," will be presented for
the first time in our city this evening at
the Lyceum theater by the well known
Duff Opera company. This opera was
first presented in London at the Theater
Comique, where it was so well received
that Mr.. Duff Immediately secured the
rights and presented 1t for the first time
in America at the Broadway theater on
January 8, last. The story of the opera
is based upon the well known poem of
the same name, by j. Sheridan lie Fanu
and dramatised by George IL. Jessup, the
Irish playwright, whose popular play,
"Myles AroOn," is so well known in this
city. The music furnished by Professor

KISSED HER ON A BET.
She Was n Salvation Lassie and lie

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
a clever trick was worked 10y walter
Redmond and his wife yesterday morn
ing at Union station by when seNeral
travelling men were duped out of their
money. At the end of a long seat in
the waiting room was a pretty and
modest looking young woman attlred
in a Salvation Army uniform. she
was very intent upon paper Whlch
she was reading and paid little atten-
tiOn to the crowd or travelling lheH
standing near her.
Aside from the crowd was a we'll
dressed young man, who was walking
back and forth by the newsstand puff
ing away at a fragrant cigar. Finally
n member of the crowd of travelling
men remarked upon the beauty of the
little salvation Army worker. All eyes
were fixed on the little woman and
she received many compliments. The
prosperous-looking young man who
had been walking near the group OF
drummers drew near to the crowd. lie,
too. was struck with the appearance
of the woman.
'Ill give any one of you fellows $l0
if YOU kiss that girl" said he.
Those in the crowd took the dare,
One spoke up, however, and said to the
stranger who had offered the money:
I'll bet you $50 that you can't kiss
her"
The stranger hesitated for several
seconds and then said:
I'm just take that bet"
The money was put up and the stran-
ger, who had given his name as Wal
ter Redmond, walked over toward the
little woman in uniform, and, after
bowing profoundly, took a seat by her
side.
At first the woman seemed to be very
indignant. and the travelling man
thought the $40 won. A minute later,
however, Redmond's arm stole around
the woman's waist. The spectators
then began to open their eyes wide.
one of them said: That fellow has a
whole lot of influence over that girl.
II may be that he is a hypnotist. Red
mond talked for probably two minutes,
and then kissed the woman.
Redmond walked over to the stake
holder and received his money. He
then started from the depot. The little
woman quickly arose from her seat,
and taking his arm, walked to Ninth
and Broadway, where the couple took
an East Broadway car Redmond is
tall and handsome. His wife is a
blonde, and is exceptionally pretty.

WORLD OF SPORTS.
Brady wonld Not Sign.

Matchmaking filled the air in the
vicinity Of w. A. Brady's office, on
Broadway, yesterday afternoon, OWNS
to the visit uf Dan Stuart, of sporting
fame, who is anxious to match COrbett
and Fitzsimmuns for another pugilistic
encounter.
Stuart had a memorandum of agree
mcnt which he wanted Brady To sign
on behalf of Corbett. The articles call
ed for fight for purse only, all the
privileges to go to Stuart, who was to
pull off the match in Nevada. 1t was
to take place some time next summer,
and if the fighters or their managers so
desired they could make side bet.
Brady could not see enough money in
it, and told Stuart as much. Besides,
he could not see why Corbett should
acquiesce to any agreement until Fitz
had signed. Brady informed Stuart
that Corbett would sign under any con-
ditions that suited Fit2simmons, but
there must be. incidentally. a side bet
in the five figures, to make the fight
interesting to the principals, managers
and public.
Stuart promised to interview Fitz-
simmons. who is in MilwauKee.--Y
