most every theatre goer throughout

acquainted with the mirth provoking
qualities of this famous satire on
politics, from the pen of Charles
Hoyt. Maverick Brander, n cattle
king who owns so, 900 head of steers,
has a daughter called Bossy who
is dearer to him than the VIII ole drove.
| The family lives in a four room cot

tune is supplemented by whisky

Major Yell, one of the widest aid
| wooliest Texans in the state, is local
politician who proposes to run old
Brander for congress, but Brander
runs away and threatens to shoot if
he is elected. The campaign is a sue
| cess and Brander is compelled to ac-
cept at the muZZle of all the shooting
irons in the town. A young captain
of the regular army has become en-
gagged to Bossv, while stationed in he:
vicinity, but when the family arrives
at Washington, and Bossv swells out
in barbarous splendor, with half
a peck of Jewels op her person. Capt.
Bright is Mortified. He finds it inn
possible to reason with her or tone down
her extravaganza, and ut the same
time Mother Brander is making her
self fright, and the OLD man appears
like a monkey in i'll lifting garments,
intended to he civilized. Bossy dis
covers that her lover is ashamed of
her appearance, breaks the engage
ment, sending him from the house, and
she and her mother put in some hard
study on a book of etiquette Old

appropriated only $500, 900.
II the Board decides that it cannot
make an estimate of the cost without. a
resurvey it is hardly likely that any
work will be done on the thirty foot
channel this year, for it is believed that
such a survey will take up most of the
season. The two broad shoals at the
estuary or mouth of the river, or, in
other words, at the head OF the bay,
present the most difficult problem. The
two shoals are known as Dan Baker
Shoal and Duck Creek Flats. The
channel across Dan Baker Shoal, dredg.
ed in 1897 to a depth of twenty-siX feet,
has shoaled for about a fourth of its
length, according to an examination
made last fall, and the condition of
Duck Greek Flats is uncertain.
