The end of the sentence witness did not
hear, as he had passed the two men. Then
he heard a shot followed by three other
shots. Witness saw the last three fired.
All seemed to take effect in the small
mans body. They were fired by the tall
man. The short man was on the sidewalk
until the last shot was fired, and then stag
gered out in the street and fell. Witness
had not moved from where he had stopped
when he heard the first shot. The tall man
walked by HIM and some one said:
you've killed that man." Witness was
not permitted to state what the tall man
said in reply.
Witness then walked out toward the man
lying in the street. He heard some one
say: Here Is his knife" but saw nothing.
Questioned about the position of the two
they were within about three feet of each
other and facing each other. The tall
mans face created no impression on wit
ness. The short man was mad.

FRENCH AID TO THEATRES

Howard Paul has compiled for The
Home Journal some facts and figures
regarding the system OF subvention in
France. The total amount given an
nually by the government is s326.000.
The Grand Opera receives 100000, the
Opera Comique 100000 the Coincide
Franchise $4,000 and the Odeon $40
600. In addition the sum OF s3S600 is
appropriated toward the maintenance
of the Conservatoire. After a thor
ough examination of the system of

the conclusion that it is ineffective.

THE PLAYERS.

On next Friday night when the cur
tain at the Opera House goes up, it
will be before an audience that would
be a compliment to any actor, especial-
/! so to The Players, who will have
the pleasure of entertaining an audi
ence composed of Wheeling's represen-
tative social and business interests.
The advance sale of the subscribers is
SO large that when the chart opens
fDr the regular sale next Wednesday
morning nearly all the seats on the
lower floor will have been taken, and
i. will very likely be necessary to
place the balcony so that the seats
tnere may be reserved. Every indica-
ton points to the fact that the stand
ing room only sign will have to be dis
played shortly after the doors open.
The play to be presented on next Fri
day is charming comedy in three acts
called The Spectator" which abounds
in amusing situations, and many laughs
will be enjoyed. Preceding the play

The theatrical attractions during the
week were fair as to quality, and
| numerous. The Prisoner of Zenda"
opened the week at Manager Reister's
theatre, with an artistic production OF
this beautiful romantic drama. The
Georgia Minstrels gave a much better
performance, both as to first part and
olio numbers, than upon the occasion
| OF the last visit Of Richards & Pringle
to this city. His Better Hail." which
held the boards Wednesday night, is a
refined English comedy, which fulflls
1t mission of creating laughter, with
out resorting to horse-play or impos-
sible make-ups. The appearance of
Miss Field, in readings of her fathers
poems, was made society event, and
Miss Field made very favorable i'm
preston. The Gibneys and the Hoef-
tier Stock Company was an attraction
which suffers in comparison with some
of the repertoire companies which
have filled engagements at the Grand
Opera House this season. The pro-
auctions were fair, however, and the
audiences could not complain, prices
considered.
Mr.. Hoeffler. manager of The Glib
neys, conducts a novel amusement en-
terprise in the west during the sum-
mer months. 1t is nothing more nor
less than dramatic entertainments un-
Ger canvas. The company plays week
stands, with a change Of bin at each
performance, and a uniform admission
price OF ten and twenty cents. The en-
terprise has been very successful. A
Pennsylvania manager uses the same
idea with Uncle Toms Cabin as the
attraction, giving a spectacular per-
Torrance, with TopsieS in punches and
great 'gobs" of Marks the lawyer. If
Harriet Beecher Stowe were IN the
land of the living, it is safe to say she
would not recognize a modern Uncle
Tom show.
A theatre car is the latest Eastern
venture. A New York manager is hay
ing one built, and proposes to give con-
tinuous performances upon the stage
in one end. On Sundays, religious SER
vices will be conducted. The car is so
arranged that it can be transformed
into a ball room if desired.
With opera at both theatres, Musical
Wheeling will have its innings during
the coming week.
Manager Chas. A. Feinler has sold all
the reserved seats for Wednesday
nights performance by the Wilbur
Opera Company, to the local committee
on entertainment of the Knights Of
Pythias. The committee shows excel
lent judgment in selecting this plan
of entertaining the delegates to the
grand lodge meeting, in preference to
arranging an amateur affair.
That a live interest in grand and
comic opera exists in this city when
the public is assured that an oppor-
