A STREET CAR ANECDOTE.
How an Intoxicated Man Gave His Neigh
Dor Points on rOliteness.

A resident Of South Union street tells
an amusing little anecdote OF the street
cars.
The car was a little crowded and every
seat was taken. Among the occupants
was a man in Il somewhat advanced stage
of intoX.cation but who, nevertheless,
realized only too we'll the events taking
place about him. AT the corner the car
stopped and lady entered but not one
OF the half dozen men in the car offered
his seat. The situation preyed upon the inc-
briate's happiness and he tried to induce
his neighbor to give up his seat but with
out successful argument In despair he
finally made several Intellectual attempts
to rise one of which was successful. and
proffering his seat to tho standing lady re-
marked in as clear enunciation as he was
capable of at that stage of his condition.

THE LITTLE MINISTER SATURDAY
EVENING

Those admirers of Barrie's popular story
Of "rhe Little Minister" who stayed away
from the theatre Saturday night because
the play was not in the hands of the orr
ginal company, missed a delightful even
ing. Like all Frohman's companies, the
production was we'll balanced and the
story lost none of its charm in dramati2a-
ton or in rendition at the hands of the
cast. Certainly no one could desire 4
more delightful Lady Babbie than Miss
Thurston; her piquant face and charm
ing ways bewitched the audience as surely
as they did the little minister MIR. Mitch
tIIs Little Minister was good throughout
N It's quiet energy and especially strong
in the critical parts. The fine humor Mr..
Barrie has given to the characters OF
Mamie and the four elders of the Aud
SILK seemed to be fully appreciate by
Miss henderson and Messrs. Weaver Con-
way, Williams and Henderson. and was
wei handled by them, affording the audi =
ence unmiXed enjoyment.
