AN EXCELLENT COMPANY.
The Manhattan Stock Co. n Drawing
Card mt Popular Prices

Card mt Popular Prices.
The Manhattan Stock Company pre-
scented "A Celebrated Case" at the theater
last night. By the time the curtain went
up the standing room only sign was
hanging over the box Office window. "a
Celebrated Case is too we'll known a play
to need any comment. 1t is a particularly
attractive drama, and with many has al
ways been prime favorite.
A strong cast was presented throughout
The excellence of the company was re-
marked upon by many in the audience
who are good judges of plays. Every
character was well portrayed and the ac-
ton of the play was well sustained in ev-
cry detail.
1t would have been impossible to get a
larger audience in the theater. 1t was
packed from pit to dome, and there was
more than the usual amount of enthus-
iasm over the situations presented. The
company will present blue Grass a
Kentucky society drama, at the matinee
this afternoon, and "Rosedale,'' another
favorite, at to-night's performance.
The course of entertainments arranged
by the Young Mems Christian Associa ton
is being received with much favor. The
attractions are all highly spoken of. The
first entertainment of the course will be
given at the Guards hall Tuesday, Nov.
q. Those holding course tickets can get
them reserved on the morning of the 18th
at $50 o'clock. There are many advan-
tages in having course tickets; first, on
account of the reduction in price. Course
ticket holders also have the privilege of
picking the best reserved seats for the en-
tire season.
The opening attraction will be the Kron-
berg Grand Concert COMPANY composed
of the following artists: Mamie Hands
Mr.. Frank Kennedy. violinist; Miss Marie
Patterson, pianist. The organization is
composed of artists well known to the
American public. The programme is ex-
ceilent and one to suit the tastes of all
classes.
The only break in the Manhattan Stock
Company's engagement will be Monday
night when Richards and Pringle's min
strels will hold the boards. For the past
two years Richards & Pringle have been
ending their performance with an up to
date laughable farce that made such hit
that managers have insisted on repeating
IL whenever return date was made This
season they have laughabe skit by Neil
Moore, Jr., entitled 'tMr johnson Turn
Me Loose" that bids fair to excel "Lucy's
Lawn Party" made famous by the COM
pany. They also introduce novelty in
combining with Richards & Pringle's
Georgias and russo & Hollands operate
Minstrels. Two shows in one, with two
bands and two first parts. Billy Ker-
sands, James White, VIM Stay and w.

MY BOYS WHISTLE.

You may talk Of the pleasure that opera
makes.
And the thrills so ecstatic 1t grandly
awakes,
But there Is no music to give me joy
Like the light-hearted whistle of my bonnie
boy.
II isn't tune. but tumble galore
OF all the notes In the musical score,
And while to another it's nothing but
noise,
TO me it conveys a hearts volume of joys.
Many times in the day am straining my
At the door or the window that whistle to
hear,
And when from the distance comes float
know that my boy on his homeway is
bound
1t tells me he's well long before he's in
sight;
1t says he is happy with childhood's de-
light:
My bonnie brave boy wave welcome to
me.
When he whistles while marching so gayly
from school
know he has missed neither lesson nor
rule,
And when from his play he comes whistling
along.
am sure not thing he has done that Is
wrong.
Whenever that blithe, merry whistle is still
/ know that my darling is certainly III,
And none but a mothers so joyful as when
His lips sweetly quicker to whistle again.
Some day when the cares Of the world he
must share,
When his heart is no longer as light as the
air,
His happy go-lucky shrill whistle no more
Will gladden. my ears while ! watch from
the door.
But pray that the time may be long until
then,
And that when he marches through life
with the men
He ever will give his dear mother the Joy
She had when he whistled the tunes OF a
boy.

with us. He stood us on our head,
rolled us In the dust, and used us as a
club to slam billboard, end when the
marshal came TO our assistance, be was

miration.
We know when we are licked. We
were licked that night inside Of three
minutes, but for the sake of dignity we
let the affair go on for two minutes
more. Then we intimated in seven diff
ferent languages that we had had
enough and TO spare, and Mr.. Carson
gave us few extra thumps and sent
us back to our bed. The town was his
for the next hour, and he used up 200
cartridges and yelled until his voice
gradually faded away into a croak.
Next morning he surrendered himself
and was fined ten dollars and costs, but
that fact didn't console us to any great
extent. We feel that we have lost at
least so per cent. Of our personal pres
tige, and we are sure to have at least
200 stops on the Kicker, but we must
accept the situation in a philosophical
way. We thought we were n thunder

S Il pOLICEMAN'S PLUCK.
g GNGGGGG&SG S1GG 6GSSGGGG&e

THE popular supposition that a
police officer is never, never on
hand when he is wanted and that the
sound of alarm is his signal of retreat
received a severe shock when the story
of Sergt. Howard's chase after the muir
derer Rohan was published few days
ago. The comic papers, with their
clever illustrations, the dialogue-writ-
ing iokers and the others have taught
some persons to look upon the police
man as the paunchy and pusillanimous
tyrant of small boys and shrinker from
contention. Which is wrong in great
many cases.
Sergt. Howard. with two loads in his
revolver, crouching on one side of a
garbage box, on the other side of which
stopped al escaped murderer, with
three weapons and unlimited ammuni-
ton, is not the first officer who has
gone with open eyes into danger and
has persisted against great peril for The
sake of the law. Indeed, this was not
the first case of the kind in which this
particular policeman figured.
But the glory of his conduct in the
Rohan case is enough without raking
out of the past old stories of his cour-
ageous adventures. Other wearers of
uniforms have performed similarly
nervy fea'ts and have made the silver
star a sign of valor.
AS. for instance, Tom Ormsby
Ormsby was patrolman in the days
when the police department of the city
of Omaha was first gladdened by the
presence of wagon" Nowadays the
patrol wagon has its own crew just the
same as railroad train-its conductor
to convey the prisoner to the station
with proper decorum-but at that time
the necessity for conductor was not
known, and an arresting officer rode to
the city Jail with the culprit and helped
the man at the desk to book the often
der. Ormsby one night arrested some
malefactor who was wanted for a
rather serious offense elsewhere, a
great giant of a man big enough to eat
two or three ordinary policemen. The
wagon being under way, the prisoner
looked about him, and. seeing the man
ner of man with whom he was travelling
"a rather small-sized individual, wha
seemed ptiably unable to help himself
against the charge and thunder of such
a big man as he-turned upon Orsmby,
and in a moment that patrol wagon was
the receptacle of most magnificent
fight. The noise of the onslaught

NOT THAT KIND.

MTHEN Mr.. John Graham, of Chi
w cago, arrived here last week to
see about introducing electric light
ing for the public streets we plainly
told him that we didn't believe our peo-
pie would stand it. Tallow candles and
kerosene oil have been used ever since
the first light was hung out, and no
one has ever heard any complaints.
Mr., Graham decided to give an exhibit
ton of his are light and let the people
Judge for themselves, and the display
took place Wednesday evening in front
OF the city hall. The boys were so quiet
Tor the first five minutes that we began
to be hopeful, but then old Jim Hew-
son began to yell and away she went.
1t seemed as if so pistols were popping
at once, and of course it didn't take
long for that are light to grow wings
and fly away. When it had disappeared
The boys turned their attention to Mr..
Graham, and the last we heard of him
he was seven miles west of the town
and still on the go. We trust he is sat
ished with his experiment. Our peo-
pie didn't mean him any harm, but
IT'S Just their way. Well be in the
swim with Chicago some day, but just
al present our affection for candles and
Aerosene is too strong to be broken by
any sudden wrench.

swerye out of their course. The jerk
threw Jim O'Brien, the driver, to the
street, stunning him, and as the loos-
ened reins tapped over the launches of
the horses, already nervous because of
the unusual clamor behind them, they
bolted furiously. Weaving across and
zigzagging back along the wide street
they thundered ON, dragging the sway
ing wagon load of fight after them.
One or two other policeman, seeing the
runaway as it flashed under the gas
light and then fitted into the darkness
beyond the corners, tried to stop the
team, but before they could get TO the
center of the street the maddened
horses were far away.
They were FASTENED on their fugitive
course by the ever-increasing noise be-
hind from which they were fleeing, but
from which they seemed unable to
withdraw Fiercer, fiercer the battle
between the two men ragged in the mar
row confines between the seats of the
patrol wagon, the huge bulk of the
aroused crook meeting the stanch grit
and courage of 0rmsby, the lesser man.
Blows were battered upon the face of
the struggling policeman, but still he
chung on. The prisoner tried to throw
him out of the whirling and swinging
wagon, but the officer fought back and
wrapped himself closer. With his own
club Ormsby was beaten, and the,gigan-
tic prisoner centered every effort on
reaching the policeman's revolver, his
own having already been lost over
board He caught fleeting grasp upon
it once--a grasp which was enough TO
send a ball flying at random through
the air. soaring Ormsby's leg in its
transit and increasing the fear of the
horses by its discharge; but the police
man. recognizing his own inferiority in
strength. with a jerk of his wrist threw
the weapon out from him. 1t fell on the

of the kittatinny Mountains.
Nine miles northeast of Harrisburg
in the solitude of the Kittatinny range
OF mountains, stand two unique monu-
ments. The spot is far from any human
htbitation, amid curiously shaped and
massive powders, and on the very crest
of the ridge. The wanderer who by
chance strays into this region may well
pause in establishment before rough
~ hewn rock upon which stand two
carved headstones of white marble
bearing the following inscriptions:
UNKNOWN.
+ Here in the solitude of Gods Acre lies
one whose life was filleo with pathos and
suffering and who had a tragic end, He
took the North Star as a guide to liberty,
yet in a fitful moment, for fear of betrayal,
he took the deadly cup to save himself
from bondage by his fellow men.
Domino DIRGE NOS.
GEORGE WASHINGTON,
Died April s, 1868.
An honest colored man, who lived ano
died on this mountain. He is buried on the
site of his former home His virtues are
related by all who knew him.
REQUIESCAT IN PACE.
Friend, pause and think of the Brother
hood of God. One may have a few more
grains of pigment beneath his skin. Look
that the Brotherhood of Man is inspired
by Gods Word. There all prejudice of race
vanishes away.
The story of the two monuments
dates to the days of the underground
railroad, when escaped slaves were pur-
sued by their southern masters. In
1851 George Washington made his es-
cape from Virginia plantation and
after months of adventure reached the
SPOT where the monuments stand
Choosing 10 live in freedom here in
the mountain Businesses, he built for
himself a rude hut and lived the life
of hermit for period of ~ years.
Gray and bent with years, he finally
passed away to his reward, alone, as
he had lived. After many days the
body was found in a kneeling position
under a giant pine overlooking the val
ley.
The elements of deeper tragedy en-
ter into the story of the unknown.
-Four years after Washington had taken
up his abode on the mountain the I'M
known, also a fugitive slave, reached
the spot in safety and found shelter
in the hermit's hut. For two years they
lived together in peace and safety. but
one day word reached the unknown
that the agents of his former master
were on his track and were but few
miles distant. Choosing death rather
than return to slavery or the betrayal
of his friends hiding place, the I'M
known stole away amid the rocks and
there died by his own hand.
A few years ago the remains of the
two slaves were buried side by side,
close by their cabin, and funeral serv-
ice was held in the presence of a large
number of people. The monuments
we're erected by the eolored people OF
the state shortly afterward.-N. Y. Sun

WITHOUT ANY OBJECT.

NIHEN the stage stopped at the

days drive every passenger of us was
confronted by the spectacle of a man
hanging to the limb of tree on the
public square. 1t wasn't considered

regard to the affair. but after supper
strolled out and met citizen who
seemed so courteous that ventured to
observe:
you appear to have had hanging

Yes, we hung n man." was the re-
ply. II expect he ought to be taken
down and buried tonight, but don't

Yes, we must have had an object"
