The dramatic offerings during the
past week were fair, as to quality, and
the patronage was commensurate with
their merit, except as to "a Misfit Mar
riage." Du Souchet's latest farcisl ef-
fort which was on the boards at the
Opera House, Wednesday night. This
playwright wrote My Friend from In
dia' and THE Man from Mexico" both
very successful farce comedies, which
should have established his reputation,
and insured a much larger aud ace for
"A Misfit Marriage" The Wheeling
theater-going public does not take kind
ly to new production in the farce
comedy line, unless 1t comes from the
pen of Chas. II. Hoyt. Mr.. Du Souchet
is very ingenious in the construction Of
plot and incidents, and promises to rank
among the most successful writer's of
farce comedy in America.

feM. Sill there is room fer a really
trst class drama based uDon the Span

"On the Suwanee River" and Get
tysburg' were on the boards at the
Grand, each filing half weeks en-
gagement. The former Is drama
which is, In some respects, decided
novelty. It will be reconstructed tins
season, and the second act entirely re-
written. In the hands of a man COM
petent for the work, it should be made
rs pleasing a drama as Alabama"
There are two characters, "Croc," a
miser, and "Jinks," his secretary, which
are decidedly unique, and in the hands
Of competent artists, furnishing great
opportunities for artistic action. Get
tvsburg" is a war drama, appealing to
the galleries. Each act terminates in
death, the American flag triumphant,
or a patriotic tableau. 1t Is aptly de-
scribed by a Cincinnati dramatic critic
as a thriller Of thrillers"

NO FED FOR BEAUTY.
One Characteristic of the SchooIteachers
OF Washington.

of Washington.
"I'll tell You one thing" said the young
man stenographer from the west who got
his job In one of the departments recently
and who has been noticing things pretty
carefully since he came to Washington
this burg's got the prettiest set of school
teachers ever saw anywhere, and that's
no lie. Out where / come from, say, the
schoolteachers have got faces as hard as
mallets and CLASSY stares and a general
freely way about 'em that makes a fellow
that meets up with one of 'em feel like
he's about z years old in tho third
grade all over again. And, honest, they
all seem to me to be about So years old at
that. It's the same In whole lot of other
big towns in the south and west that I've
worked in. Well, when / struck this town
friend OF mine took me to his boarding
house that's right next door to a big
schoolhouse. My rooms second story
front room and commands a view of the
entrance to the school, and, say, the SEQ
ond morning that was there I looked out
OF the window just about quarter of an
hour before school took in, and, gee whiz |
] saw procession of pretty, fresh looking,
swell, stylishly dressed young women
a-streeling up the steps of that schoolhouse
that made me think Twas taking an East
or Sunday turnout.
Say, says to my roommate, who's
Washington man born and bred, what
do you make of this parade of almighty
pretty girls a-walking up those school
house stepsY Is it high school, and are
they pupils, or what the dickens, anyhow
Pupils nothing, says he. They're
teachers
well, gave him the boot, of course,
but he stuck to it SO seriously that / Of
course had to believe him.
We'll, says l to him finally, they're
the pick of all the schoolteachers in town,
then, sent down here because it's down
town schoolhouse, just TO impress visitors. ;
Not much they amt says no. All
the schoolteachers in this town are pretty
enough to cat and just as nice as they are
pretty. There amt anything but fine
looking folks living in Washington, any
how, says he.
"Well say, didn't believe him when
he said that all the teachers in all the
schools were just as attractive as those /
had seen, and so the next morning, before
Office hours, we hustled around on our
bikes to three schools just before school
took in, and blamed If l saw single
teacher in the lot that wasn't pretty and
sweet looking enough for a fellow to marry
out of hand on the spot. l wrote home
and told my sisters out west about this,
and they've been writing back to me and
telling me that I'm in trance and must
be mistaken. But I'm not mistaken. /
don't want to see any nicer looking girls
than the schoolteaohers of this town, and
you hear mo a-talking. - Washington

He Invited His Fate.

An incident that pointed strong moral
took place on Chestnut street The street
was thronged with promenaders, and tbs
magnificent st. Bernard dog which a
young woman was leading attracted much
attention. Near Thirteenth street the
woman entered store, leaving the dog
outside. The dog was such a magnificent
beast that several people stopped in admi-
ration, and the dog actually seemed to
smile at the attention he was receiving.
About this time two giddy youths, who
were followed by a misohievous fox ter
rier. came along and paused to see what
was attracting the throng. The terrier,
which was but mite beside the St. Ber-
nard, rushed in and began snarling at the
big dog. The noble looking beast paid
not the slightest attention, and the youths
audibly commented on the big ones cow
ardice.
When the terrier began swapping at his
feet, however, the big one gravely raised
one paw and pushed his tormenter away.
This angered the terrier, and its anger
was fed by the youths, who told Jip, as
they called him, to go In and "shake the
big coward" Jip went in and set his
teeth In the st. Bernard's leg. Suddenly
the big dog lost his forbearance, and In a
trice Jip was In its massive jaws. There
was crunching sound, a couple of shakes
and Jip was cast aside dead. The ST.
Bernard then resumed his place uncon-
cernedly, and the young men gathered mp
their dead terrier and went off to make
complaint at the city hall.

"By Jove Nothing TO wear but dirty

some OF the Amusing Stories In which
John Stetson Figured.


IL was Stetson who on landing from the
steamer after stormy voyage exclaimed,
Thank God, am once more on vice
versar'
Mrs. Ellington on her return from
America brought home many Stetson
stories. One of the best had reference to
the sudden necessity of charging the pro-
gramme of variety entertainment. His
manager had, as he believed, successfully
filled the bill. Stetson arrived ON the
scene In the midst of the opening num-
bers. "What is on now?" he asked.
well, it's just pretty, sentimental duet
