abeth Gebevale, and Messrs. Will West,
Robert Vernon, Ned Wayborn, Gilbert
Gregory, Gus Mortimer, w. H. Macart,
George Tabor and A. III. Bell, also a
dashing chorus of sixteen voices. The
company numbers thirty-five people,
and is the largest organization ever
identified with farce comedy.
"The Late Mr.. Early which will be
the attraction at the Opera House We'd
nesday evening, is undoubtedly the
most pretentious farce-comedy produc-
ton OF the season, combining, as it
does, not only a remarkably strong cast
of principals headed by Sharp and
Flat, who have been aptly termed the
kings Of musical comedy, but scenic
environment and costuming rarely
given in farce comedy productions. In
fact, nothing that would tend to make
the production perfect in every detail
is said to have been overlooked. The
company, which is a very large one,
embraces the names of many art
lists who are we'll known the country
over, and who have been seen with
nothing but the best organizations.
This in itself is worthy of note. In the
roof garden scene, which is a feature
of the third act of the comedy, special
ties are introduced by Sharp and Flatt,
Apollo, the Adonis of the Wire; Miss
Mabel Hite, Ann Seattle, Dick Brown, G.
Park Byers, George Gale, Miss Rose
Sutherland and others. All of these
specialties are extremely strong, the
fact being that there is not one in the
entire list which has not been seen in
the Keith houses in New York, Boston
and all other prominent cities.
This company will be seen in but
very few one-night stands during the
present season, as almost the entire
time has been arranged for in the
larger cities.

Sam Houston and Hi. Corns.

Professor Hiram Corson of Cornell
university, who used to be reporter
for the United States senate, tells this
story about Sam Houston: 1--WE re-
porters took turn and turn about each
for an hour. One day l was sitting
idly in the reporters gallery, waiting
my turn and looking on. Presently my
attention was drawn by Senator Hous-
ton. Huge of frame, he was particu-
larly huge Of feet, and those extremi-
ties were rendered the more conspicu-
Gus in those days of boots by being
incased in laced shoes. On this occa-
sion there seemed to be an amount Of
pain in those feet proportionate to
their size.
"The senator kept one upon his
knee, rubbing it, with an anguished
expression and periodically exchang-
ing for the other foot. After awhile he
unlaced his shoes and drew them off.
Then the nursing Of his aching toes
continued for time as before. But no
relief came, and at last, to my utter
amazement and amusement, he slowly
Invested himself of long blue wooden
stocking, and, taking the huge jack
knife with which he was wont to pass
the time whiting, he proceeded de-
liberately to pare his corns in the SEN
ate of the United States"

A Girls idea Of BOYS.

At an examination in a certain school
for girls an essay on Boys" was
ordered written, and this was one of
the compositions:
"The boy is not an animal, yet he
can be heard to a considerable distance,
When boy hollers he opens his mouth
like frogs, but girls hold their tongue
till they are spoke to, and they answer
respectable, and tell just how 1t was.
A boy thinks he is clever because he
can wade where it is deep, but God
made the dry land for every living
thing, and rested on the seventh day.
When the boy grows up he's called a
husband and stays out nights, but the
grew up girl Is widow and keeps
house."

He Couidn't Reach Il.

The following anecdote concerning
the famous lecture on "The Holy
Land" which, it is said, Ex-Governor
Oglesby never succeeded in delivering
as he prepared it, is related in Franc
b. Wilkes pamphlet on the life Of the
governor:
He had been invited to deliver this
lecture at country town In Illinois
and accepted. A large crowd gathered
to hear him, and he was greeted with
loud applause as he stepped forward
to lecture. He was only to speak for
one hour and said in beginning he
would preface his lecture with a few
remarks on his experience in Europe.
At the end Of 2h hours he was still
talking about Europe, and because the
people seemed so delighted he an
nounced that he would deliver the lee
ture the next evening.
The same people came back, re-en-
forced by many more, and at the end
Of another two hours he stopped with
out having said anything about the
Holy Land, except to announce that as
his subject. The third night there was
a monster gathering, and Governor
Oglesby, after finishing up Europe,
started to say a few words about
Egypt and the Nile before beginning
his lecture. AT last he looked at his
watch and, with look Of astonish-
ment, turned to one Of his friends on
the platform and said:
"Well, here it is IL o'clock, and I'll
be hanged If I've got to the Holy Land
yet."-Chicago Tribune.

WHEELER ASKS FOR CAVALRY.
Otis, However, Cannot Supply It Until
Next Month.

New York, Sept. pa dispatch
from Manila, via Hong Kong, says:
General Joseph Wheeler, after a Skin
mish at Paras, telegraphed to General
Otis, asking the latter to send cavalry
for the purpose of preventing a reas-
sembling of the insurgents. General
Otis replied that he could not send the
cavalry until October. Three attempts
have been made to assassinate Tavera,
the leader of the pro-American Fill
pinos.
There is growing feeling among
military men and the native police
that the native judges are unreliable.
An inquiry is now proceeding. Com
mercial dislocation has resulted in
Manila because the goods ordinarily
produced here are unobtainable since
the provinces have been disturbed.
Nowadays the goods are only obtain
able from abroad. The Filipino news
paper, Independence, says insurgent
preparations are complete to abandon
Tarlac If necessary. Aguinaldo's
forces, this organ says, will be able to
continue their Fabian tactics success
fully, exhausting the American troops
more easily than the Romans wore out
Hannibal.
