The idea of an American girl marry

Q.-Any more? A.-What has that

Ooh, | know that, just want you

was overruled, and Mr.. Howard took
up the drink question by enquiring in
detail how witness got up town from
home. Witness stopped at Healey S

ness appealed to the Court to know
what it had to do with it anyhow,
counsel for defense came into 1t, and
there was a general discussion, which
ended in Mr.. Howard being allowed to
proceed. Witness intimated that If
Mr.. Howard was going to monkey
around that way he would leave, but
the Court told him to answer, and he
went on to say he got another drink at
Tyson's.

The largest audience which has as
sembled in the Opera House this season
witnessed the production of Monte
Cristo' last night by Mr.. James O'Neill
and his excellent company. O'Neill is
to this sterling romantic drama what
Joe Jefferson is to rip Van Wrinkle"
each without peer in his respective
characterization. Monte Cristo" has
been on the boards for many years,
but still retains its popularity and MI.
O'Neills other ventures have been sue
cessively abandoned for it. The stag
ing and costuming of the play was very
handsome and contributed much to-
ward making the production artistic in
every sense Or. Mr.. O'Neill in his dual
role of Edmund Dantes'' and The
Count of Monte Cristo,' nothing can
be said in the way Of criticism. His
support was excellent and the aud
fence was delighted manifesting its
appreciation in frequent curtain calls.

Harley Merry's very successful
drama, "Cuba's Vow" will be pre-
sented at the Grand during the half
week commencing Thursday. 1t has
strong plot, full of dramatic situations,
and although having largely for its
theme the life of the Cubans under
Spanish government, it is in no way
sensational. 1t does not bore the
audience with scenes that are unreal
On the contrary, every art known TO
stage realism has been utilized TO
make the effect as natural and pic
turesque as possible. In dealing with
the Cuban question the author, Mr. ].
j. McCloskey, has shown great skill,
and the play pictures Cuba as it is to-
day in true and faithful manner.
The company that will interpret the
different characters in the play is a
strong one, and Manager Merry's per-
sonal guarantee is given that it will
be first class performance. Every
lady buying reserved seat ticket DUR
ing the engagement will receive free
a handsome ivory finished souvenir
bust of Lieutenant Hobson, hero of the
Merrimac.
