NIGHT,

and under new and capable manage
ment will open it's regular season to-
Day G. B. Bunnell has appointed w.
II. Van Buren, as the resident manager
OF this well known place of amuse-
ment, and under his careful supervision
everything tending to the welfare of
its patrons will be carefully attended
to. The opening attraction, matinee
and night to-day, will be Daniel Sully,
the Irish comedian, in his great play,
20 Brien, the Contractor" which is re-
plete with deft touches of humor and
pathos combined with a story of abb
sorbing heart interest. The stage set
tinSs and scenery are novelties and
present series of delightful stage pic
lures. The costumes worn by the la
dies of the company possess special in
terest. 'O'Brien, the Contractor" is a
play that is full of bright comedy and
is interpreted by a strong company
which cannot fail to please the most
fastidous play-goer. The play has for
one unique effect d realistic track lay
Ing scene with foreman, strikers ana
others in stirring struggle. The rail-
road construction and the rock blast
ing are features said to be so realistic
and natural that it is hard for a spec
tator to believe he is not watching in
reality the completion of a line of rail-
road. The strike between Italian and
Irish workmen and the final restoration
of order by the bold front and deter
mined manner of O'Brien, the contrac-
tor, and his ultimate successful fulfill
ment of the contract on hand by the
driving of the golden spike" in the
face of difficulty and danger, are wor-
thy the highest commendation. Secure

THE RISING GENERATION.


'"The Rising Generation" which will
be seen at the Grand Opera house on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and
at the Wednesday matinee, is making
the hit of the season. Everywhere this
laughable comedy has been enacted, 1t

throngs, whose enjoyment of the play
was amply attested by the continued
rounds of applause which greeted the
action of the players The Rising
Generation" is distinct departure from
the ordinary run of Irish plays and in
that fact chiefly lies its great success.
While there is no end of fun from the
rise of the curtain to the going down of
the same, buffoonery and horse-play
are religiously eliminated Sale Of seats
now open. Regular prices.

Only a Mans View.

Dear, dear, what poor, weak, made tc
be petted beings some people would have
us believe men arel Tickle, unstable
only to be held in the path of right and
duty by tender consideration, gentle coax
ing and constant watchfulness to see that
they are in no way crossed. Here's lit
tie of what a minister in New Jersey
gives as serious advice to wives:
Another way to hold your husband is
to make allowances for his little imper-
fections. He will smoke in the house
and read the newspaper when you want
to talk to him, he will go about in his
shirt sleeves and leave his clothes around
the room; but never mind these trifes,
They are only spots on the sun. Be pa
tent, and if you ever fall into a wrangle
be the first one to make up. Never let
the sun go down on your wrath"
That's a mans view of the proper way
to hold a man to the performance of one
of his highest duties in life. There never
was a man hater-if there ever was a
woman who could be called that-who
cast such a contemplate light upon man.
What if some woman preacher should
get up and tell the men of the country
how to treat their wives; how to hold
them so they will not lose their love for
home and family. There is some excuse
for divorce courts if the majority of the
men in the world need to be coddled like
this. Fortunately the women don't be-
lieve it. They know the world is full of
manly men.-New York Times.

Boys should be early taught the helm
BUSINESS of the offense of splitting, both
from the basis of decency and danger to
public health. 1t is much easier to pre-
vent the formation of a habit of this
kind in boy than to correct it in a man.
and herein lies the mothers part in the
warfare against splitting. No extension
of woman's rights is necessary to make
mothers power in this neglected realm.
All that is required is return to a duty
once faithfully discharged, but in the
rush of modern life neglected-the Wig
liant maternal supervision of boys during
the years in which their habits are
formed.
The boy who is taught that to spit on
the hearth, the steps, anywhere about
the house, is an infringement upon the
rights of the family that will not be toll
Grated is not likely as a man to infringe
upon the rights of the public by splitting
upon the sidewalks. on the floors or steps
of public buildings or in the cars. In the
meantime, however. there is a generation
of full grown, active spitters to be reck-
oned with in the interest of the public
health. and it is the opinion of those who
have given careful attention to the mat
ter that these can be reached more eff
fectively by the dissemination of knowl-
edge upon the subject than by city or
dinance or state law.-Portland Orego-

Patience will accomplish wonders in
the way of training dumb animals.
This is aptly illustrated by the antics
of number of pet turtles belonging
to woman who lives on Catharine
street near Twenty second. They live
in big yard, and every morning they
come at her call to get their breakfast
of bread and milk At an adjacent
factory large bell is rung every
morning, noon and night, and at the
first sound of the bell the turtles know
it is time to eat, and they hurry toward
the kitchen steps.
They have been taught number OF
tricks. The most intricate is a re-
markable color test. Long pieces OF
different colored yarn are tackled on
the fence within reach of the turtles
AT the word of command one of them
will so to the fence and pull down any
color that Is called for by the trainer
They also insist upon coming into the
kitchen during a rainstorm, and the
little fellows who cannot mount the
steps poke out their heads and give
voice to peevish, shrill bark until
they are also brought under shelter
