Grand opern House.

There were no ten dollar bills in the seats at the Grand Opera house last night for the patrons to pick up and walk off with, but there was fine show worth more than ten dollars to any woman or child. It was one of those shows one reads about, but never sees. The difference in this case was that one could see it and hundreds did, and went home happy too, Good vaudeville Is healthful to any commun- ity and the health report this month will show an increase of health. Just watch for the report Laugh and grow fat" is an old injunction and so many people have laughed during the two days the theater has been open that the management Is seriously con sdering the advisability of widening and making larger the seats.
 Anybody would laugh at Joe Welch. He has evidently made a careful study of the Polack and presents familiar character whose picturesqueness we never appreciate until Welch is seen. He does not eXaggerate the character. In physiognimy attire and carriage,
 
 the prototype of this performers "geezer" can be found any night in the second hand clothing dealers districts. He sings Hebraic paraphrase on He Sut'n'ly was good to mee," followed by a grotesque dance that is very laugha- ble.
 Patrice Is gaining distinction among the art lovers of the city by the supe- rior excellence and daintiness of her "A New Years Dream" The comedy is quaint and intensely interesting, so much so that the applause does not break until the curtain has slowly fallen and the audience come back to earth from the fantastic realms through the art of the actress has led them. There is not poor number in the whole array of performers and their different specialties. The new management was certainly lucky to se- cure such high class attractions for the opening week.

Ryan was not a pauper, but his chil- dren are in Brooklyn and New York city, and he had no home where he could be cared for. He resided here s number of years and gained a resi- dence. He was well known and re- spected. MT. Ryan's children, three daughters and one son, were notified of his condition and at once came here and did all that was possible to care for him while he lived, and assumed all the expenses of his sickness and burial. The remains were brought to New Ha- ven Monday for interment

That Monument Was Shared.

Judge Thomas ]. Mackey, formerly
OF South Carolina, gives an incident OF
Sherman's march to tho sea which is
not recorded in the war histories.
"South Carolina was the first state
in the Union to send regiment to the
front to participate in the war with
Mexico" said the judge. 1.-THE people
OF q grateful state caused to be erected
in front of the capitol il Columbia a
monument to tho memory Of the brave
boys of the First South Carolina regi.
ment who lost their lives in that con.
flict.
This monument is made of pounded
brass and represents palmetto tree.
When Sherman's army entered Colum-
bia and his soldiers were destroying
everything that came in their way,
several companies made dash for the
shaft. With the butts of their mnskets
they began the work of demolition.
They had not proceeded far when man
On horseback rushed up to them and
commanded them to desist.
Not another stroke!' he cried.
Several of the soldiers paid no at.
tention.
1.-The next man who dares assault
that shaft I will kill!' he thundered.
1.-The men saw tears in the eyes of
the one who thus addressed them. They
also saw that he had weighed his words
carefully and meant every one of them.
Soldiers, said he, the boys who
sleep beneath that palmetto loved their
country as much as you or I. They
fought as valiantly.
