OPERA HoUsE.-Ryley's Comedians,
q company OF distinguished players,
will present the comedy hit, "Our
Flat, at the Opera House tomorrow
night. "Our Flat" is farce pure and
simple, but tits far above that generally
designated form of amusement. The
stereotyped characters are refreshingly
absent. The idea is new, the situations
are new, and the treatment they receive
from the company is new. The fun is
fast, but it is always legitimately con-
fined to the lines of pure farce. There
is a scene in "Our Flat" which exhibits
remarkable ingenuity and originality,
and shows the many pretty devices to
which lovely women will resort in
order to preserve appearances.

The first important result Of the legis-

York to begin its investigation OF trusts, Is
the evidence that the greatest local business
combination which is commonly classed
among the trusts, the so-called Sugar Trust,
is no trust at all. 1t il not a number OF
refining companies allied, and governed as
to production by a central body of delegates,
but one big company owning large num-
ber OF refineries.
