Sam Jones' Lecture.-The lecture in

Sam Jones' Lecture.-The lecture in
Music Hall on Tuesday evening on "Char-
acter and Characters" was very much
like the little girl, who when she was
good she was very good and when she
was bad she was horrid" Some of his
ideas were grandly expressed and some
of his illustrations were exceptionally
apt, but in a few minutes he would wan
der off into coarse jest or cheap talk
that would not be tolerated in any other
man except Sam Jones. But as he him
self said he did not want people to agree
with him but only to understand him
and there was no difficulty in finding out
his views on the temperance question or
any of the rest of he public questions OF
the day. The lecture furnished plenty of
entertainment with good deal OF gospel
and temperance sandwiched in and the
majority of his hearers enjoved it but
would hardly choose it for steady diet.
From financial point the lecture was a
great success as over 500 worth OF sim
gle tickets were sold.

Splendid Performance. - NJ

A Splendid Performance. - Mr..
Charles Cowles, who presents Mckee
Rankin's comedy.drama success, IA
Country Merchant" at the Howe Opera
House, Saturday evening, as character
performer stands unequalled. The story
of the play is of an old rural postmaster
and his friends, family and neighbors,
such as are met with every day in any
New England village. Eben Baxter, the
postmaster and merchant, is man of
Importance in the circle in which he
moves, and around him cluster the many
exciting and amusing incidents oI the
play. A strong comedy element per-
vades this pastoral drama, and fun and
sentiment, pathos, music and song are
cleverly interminged. There are side
splitting situations and not dull mo
ment can be found during the four acts
oI the play. A company specially Sc
lected for this production will support
Mr.. Cowes. The scenic effects are all
that could be desired. Many strong
speciality performers will be found in this
company, and the theatre-going public
will be well repaid for visit to see "A
Country Merchant"
