"THE BROADWAY GIRL"

"The Broadway Girl" an up-to-date
farce comedy under the direction OF
Rush & Flynn, will be seen at the Grand
Opera House the first half of next
week. The play is from the pen OF tbs
well-known Joe Flynn, who is also the
author of many popular songs, among
them being the famous Down Went
McGinty" The company is headed
by Delmore & Wilson, surrounded by
half a dozen other artists who have
made individual hits in various organ
iZauons within the last four years.
The best part OF "The Broadway Girl"
is that it is new. Farce comedies
have been on the road so long now
that things which used to make US
laugh are no longer able to do so.
Ii has been the aim OF the manage
ment to secure the young and rising
members of the profession rather than
the old-timers, who have worn out
their welcome. 1t is said that no 9TH
er farcical extravaganza contains so
many hilarious medleys, captivating
songs and dances and so many original
and talented artists.

Great Crowds Will Be Entertained at
Wheeling Park.
The butchers, their sons and daugh-
tiers, aided by guests from neighborlng
towns, will do their best TO give the
annual picnic and barbecue OF the
Wheeling retail men boost to-day.

to the securing Of five beeves-the I'M
est that could be bought-for the bar
becue. Juicy joints and steaks, ribs
and other portions Of beef's anatomy
will be served in true Delmonico style
In fact no restauranteur can possibly
serve meat in as excellent a condition
as the butchers will to-day. In add
ton to this feature the butchers VIII
have a programme Of unique events
that is sure to create a great amount
of amusement. No class Of our citi-
zens are so fond of fun as the well fed,
hearty. healthy and genial meat men.
Everybody should take in the enter
tainment and help this popular class
Of retail merchants to spend a day OF
recreation in the most enjoyable style.
It is especially the desire OF the COM
mittee that visiting merchants remain
over one Gay, as the entertainment Of
fered will convince them that at least
one class Of merchants in this city
stands ready to entertain visitors and
especially those from a distance. No
town in the United States has a class
Of retail merchants Of any particular
commodity that are more public spirit
cd and helpful than the butchers or
Wheeling. All classes join In wishing
them a day Of enjoyment beyond their
fOndest homes.

the Opera House next Wednesday

in the plays which he presents has not
abated Mr.. Keene is accompanied by

inent position among the younger
American tragedians. He was former

CHRISTMAS.

More and more, as the sun of Chris
tianity rises toward its sacred, high.
eternal noon, all the uglinesses that
have attended this central festival of
the civilized world are being discredit-
ed and dropped. More and more is
God manifest in the fesh,n and the
Divine Spirit possessing the soul of hu-
mauity. The glow of loving kindness
warns more and moro evervbody's
heart, Those who eau do kindnesses
look more and more diligently for
those entitled to receive help and COM
fort, and the weary and sad know that
the air is full of tender consideration.
Sweet surprises from uneXpscte /
sources drop as the refreshing dew out
Of the air OF the season.
The world is very evil, and the times
are waxing late; hut the world is get
ting all full of the spirit and smile OF
lis returning Lord. The babe OF Chris
tianity has grown into a full manhood,
and the knowledge of the Goldman,
whom to know is eternal life, asserts
stself as the highest possible knowledge.
The character of this season, warmer
in love, purer in thought, higher in
worship, wiser and more real in joys,
hespeaks the soul Of Him whose first
coming it celebrates ,and reflects resplen-
dent colors from the light of the fast
approaching second advent.
Family gatherings are the dearest
privileges Of the time. But Thoughtful
members are not saddened by the
knowledge that the pleasures are flee
ing and the memory that chairs are va
cant; but, by strengthening faith, they
realize the presence of the dear ones
just within the vail, and make the hap
piest gatherings but the type and blos-
SONS of the blest reunions to be upon
us. Therefore, with angels and arch
angels and all the company of heaven,
let US laud and magnify the blest and
glorious name, and let our hearts swell
and beat high with a merry Christmas.
