AMUSEM EN- 10
Uncle Toms Cabin Draws Two Large An
dirncrs at the Opera House.

The management Of the opera house and
Stetson's Uncle Toms Cabin company
gave a practical demonstration Thursday
of the fact that in the hearts of the Am
erican people Harriet Beecher Stoves
Uncle Toms Cabin will never cease to
be the touching story of Southern slavery
which makes audiences laugh and cry and
come again and again. Perhaps this
should not be said in connection with all
of the many companies which present this
well-known drama but there can be no
question of the truth of the statement
when made in connection with the com.
pany playing in this city Thursday at err
noon and evening. With cast of nearly
50 people they gave an excellent presenta-
ton of the irama al a matinee and in tie
evening On both ocCa SionS the house was
filled and in the evening the seats failed
to accommodate all of those who came.
OF the drama nothing need be said. 1t is
the same old Uncle Toms Cabin with its
Little Eva, Uncle Tom. Miss Ophelia, Top
sy, Simon Legree, Phineas, Sambo and
dozen others. Some clever advertising
was done with the bloodhounds and the
street parade with several features.
DEWEY'S RECEPTION AT THE
OPERA HOUSE.
Those who enjoy Irish comedy were
much entertained by the Donavan's in
Dewey's Reception" at the opera house
w cdnesday. Any other name would he
as appropriate for the farce. but the name
Dewey Is supposed to have great drawing
powers these days, hence its selection.
The Donavau's, James r., and Fannie, are
practically the whole show, which is of
the regulation noisy character, although
there were songs and dances by other
of the company between the
acts, which made the affair continuous
performance and to that extent the more

him very harshly. The boy was appren-

his uncle's house. Here he began to draw,
and finally to paint Becoming the ser

he carried to the salon himself. 1t was

the ALLeaep BRIBERY.

Committee Callifs Members Of the
House In Albhabetieal Order.
Harrisburg, March 2A-The bribery
Investigating commistss resumed Its ses-
sions yesterday AFTERNOON in the ROOMS
of the house sgrieultuys committee.
Several members Sete called and asked
the formal questions, to all Of which
they replied in the negative. No in.
formation whatever was obtained from

Mr.. Adams, Of Susquebanna, testified

delphia, on the McCarrell bill. Mr..

Very NirtuOuS.

u The Democrats of our city have
recently become perfect saints and
are crying.uot very loudly against
bribery and other crimes. 1t may
be that they are honest, and yet it
may be that they are merely hypo-
critics. We remember too many Of
their tricks to believe they mean all
they say. The leaders of the Demo-
cratic party condoned the ballot
box stuffing in the Third ward by
Pat Gardiner; the use of the tissue
ballots by which Democratic
member of Council was elected from
the same ward; the manipulation
Of ballots by which Joshua S. Val
entine was defeated for mayor; the
counting in of John II. Dlckey for
tax receiver; the attempt to count
In the Democratic candidate tor
sheriff when w. X. Finn had over
a thousand ma jority; the disfran-
chisement of hundreds of Republic
cans by refusing to take their tax;
the refusal to count the votes in cer-
tain districts in Kent county by
which means the Legislature was
controlled and also the Constltu-
tional Convention. Furthermore,
the party leaders have always con-
tributed to shield the ballot box
suffers and forgers from conviction
and punishment and are ready to
repeat their acts whenever they can
safely do So Their pretended hor-
ror Of bribery is mere sham and
we'll they know it. They have al
ways been ready to carry every
election by unlawful means and are
as ready now to attempt to do so If
opportunity shall offer. Honorable
men, of course they are, just as pa
triotic as was Brutus, who declared
as an excuse for contingencies:
mot that l loved Caesar less, but |
loved Rome more!' Honorable men

Senator some two years ago; 1.-THE
