The. four acts of 1.-The Cherry Pick
ers. " the celebrated military specta-
Gle, which will be seen at Harper 5
theatre Sunday evening, contains a
series of incidents entirely new to
meIo-drama. Its author, Joseph Ar
thur. has succeeded in keeping away
from beaten tracks as successfully as
he did with Blue Jeans" The pro-
duction is carried entire, while the
acting company is said to be very
strong and competent.
The Christmas bill at the Burtis is
w. II. Gillette's because She Loved
Him So.'' 1t is piece that is worthy
of Gillette. and both the matinee and
evening audiences are likely to be
packed. The principal personages in
the new piece are young woman who
is so very fond of her husband as to
drive him nearly to distraction with
her jealous suspicious; the husband
whom Mr.. Gillette represents as the
most blameless and amiable of men
and the young woman's two old pa
rents, who have been billing and cooling
for 80 odd years and have never eX-
changed harsh word. 1t occurs to
these two foolish old folks that if they
pretend to quarrel for jealousy's sake
they can set pretty and useful object
lesson TO the youngsters which may
cure them of their daily spats, and
they proceed to do it. The result is
all that can be desired.
One night of the merriest kind of
fun is promised the patrons of the
Burtis opera house Tuesday, Dec. &c,
when George w. Lederer presents
his latest New York Casino success,
The Founders. The piece is an
adaptation of French play made by
Harry b. Smith, with original lyrics,
and the music by Ludwig Highlander.

including Dan DAILY, Richard f. Car
roll, Harry Davenport, Christine Mac
Donald. ID. l.. Don, Marie George and
Phyllis Rankin. A large chorus of
pretty Casino girls is promised as a
feature. The performance will begin
at o'clock sharp. This is absolutely
necessary. owing to the elaborate stage
settings ard length of the perform
ance.

This has been a hardship upon those
who were not fortunate enough to pre-
sent a petition. The committee consid-
cred the question informally and will
report at a later meeting.
Another conference committee met at
8 o'clock and for two hours wrestled
with the subject of street watering.
The question under consideration was
the report of the committee on streets,
upon the order authorizing the mayor
to arrange with the street railway
companies for the use of their tracks
for street watering purposes. The
council voted to recommit the report
to the committee on streets. The board
of aldermen refused to concur in this
action. AS a result of the conference
last evening the committee will recon-
mend that the board of aldermen re-
cede in it's action and concur with the
common council.
There was no meeting of the commit
tee on sewers, owing to the lack of q
sufficient number Of members to con
stitute a quorum.
