the Republican Ticket.
BALTIMORE, October 21.-The COM
mittee of forty of the Gold Democrats
OF Maryland has declared in favor OF
the Republican State and legislative
tickets in November. The committee
saws. in a circular issued to-day:
I'm Maryland although dealing with
all other national issues, the Demo-
cratic platform is silent on the currency
question in Difference to the dominant
principles and policies of the Demo-
cratic party of the nation.
"a victory by the Democratic party
in MARYLAND upon a platform ignoring
the financial question and therefore,
framed in the interest of the Democratic
party Of the nation. must give encour-
agement to the advocates of depre-
ciated currency and be blow to the
business interests OF the country"

The attractions at the local theaters
during the past week have been very
we'll patronized. At the Grand julie
Walters gave fair performance Of a
new version Of his ''Side Tracked" and
was followed by a clever farce comedy,
1.-TWO Jolly Rovers." with a cast includ-
ing John Leonard. Sherman Wade, Miss
Gilmore, Maize King and others. At
the Opera House, The Little Minis
ter" played almost to the capacity of
the theateF, and delighted as usual.
Yesterday Faust was on the boards,
with Walter Mccullough, a former
Wheeling bay. in the role OF "Mephis-
to- 1t was Lewis Morrison's second
company, with the calcium. scenic and
electrical effects used in the Morrison
production. The audiences were very
large al both performances. especially
in view OF the fact that the play has
been given here so frequently Mr.
Mccullough was surprisingly clever in
his work in the principal role, and re-
ceived frequent and generous applause
The audiences were well pleased.

lions, but the attraction next week is
wiuthout doubt the novelty Of the sea-
son. We have had male stars, female
stars, farce comedy stars, classic stars,
but next week comes the child star.
Little Irene Myers is the bright and
particular luminary who is announced
to brighten the stage at this house the
coming week, and if the many fatte~-
ing press comments from other cities are
any criterion her radiance is Of the first
magnitude. Little Irene is a mite Of
femininity who has just passed her
tenth year, and assumes such charac-
tiers as the title role in Little Lord
Fauntleroy; Editha, in The Burglar;
Cissy Denver, in The Silver King;
Louise, the blind girl, in Two Orphans;
and is prominently cast in the Shadow
Detective and Outcast5 of Great city.
In specialties as well as dramatic work
she is natural and unaffected, being alb
solutely free from that parrot-li1a
reading so common among ehildren Of
the stage. Her company is said 70 ne
one Of excellence, fully in keeping with
the high standard of the star.

beyond them sat three men. who had
also come TO the thcatcr together.
They arrived late. after the curtain
had gone up. In fact. and the girls had
