"A PARLOR MATCH"

"A Parlor Match" opened a three
nights engagement at the Grand last
night. The way most of the notices and
advertisements lave been worded many
people were led to believe that it was one
of Hoyts companies presenting. 1t is not.
1t is a p to whose manager the
farce has been leased for so much per.
To the fact that Hoyt wrote the piece
most of the amusement afforded is owing.
The company is good in spots and some
times the spots are close together and at
other times there is a dreary waste be-
tween them. The play is so well known
that no mention of it is necessary. Edith
Hoyt as the Innocent Kid looks and acts
the part. What little dancing she did
would incline the beholder to think she
could dance very well. Blu she cannot
sing as her voice is too weak. But she is
young and pretty, too. Emma Marsh was
charming as Lucille and wore several
pretty gowns. Harriet Sheldon made a
capital Euphonia Allonaz though she is
too handsome to play an old maid. edith
and Salome Kingsley did an odd singing
speciality, embracing the eternal coor
song and several pretty melodies. The
best thing done was the limitations by
Eta Butler who was recalled again anG
again. Next to that was the whistline
of Tom Bronze and his limitations. MARI
Sullivan as Old Hoss suffers of course
from comparison with Hoey. Phillip H
Ryley supplied most of the fun as L. Nc
Croker, really doing some good work, al
belt on the horse play order at times
James Y. Galloway was excellent as Capt
Kidd. The others did all they could witt
their roles. The girls are pretty AM
the chorus work was good; the Olympi:
quartette did a fine war speciality. Waite
Ware was a distinct disappointment a
a tenor" His voice is weak and no
!. trained. But he is the best looking ma
in the company and that is distinctio.
enough. Still, like all of Hoyt's affair
it is well worth seeing. To those who hav
never seen Hoey and Evans it will be sti
more enjoyable. AT matinee will be give

CONVICTED.
HE DENIED HAVING STOLEN MRS.
RAYS WATCH.

1t did not take Judge Clancy. the IL
ty attorney and a jury long yesterday to
dispose of the case of the state against
Martin Harrison, charged with the crime
of robbery. The matter was called for
trial at 10 O'Clock and before 2 a jury had
been selected to decide the fate of the
prisoner. At 5 o'clock the testimony was
al in and the instructions given. Three
hours later a verdict of guilty was re-
turned, but the punishment was left to
the court.
During the trial Harrison testified in his
own behalf. He said he had seen Mrs.
Ray, the complaining witness, in the
Mountain Home saloon. She was in the
company of several men. He had seen a
stranger take her watch. He followed the
man to the Little Chief saloon and accus-
ed him Of the theft. The stranger asked
him if he wanted the watch and Harrison
replied in the negative, adding that it was
lone of his business. The alleged thief
had then told witness he had hidden the
timepiece under a stairway, but witness
had not looked for it until after his ar
rest.

W. J. Ferguson, who will b. seen here
this week with THE Turtle has just rid
himself of the services and attentions OF
an Irish valet, whose constant blunders
were only equaled in seriousness by thsir
humor. Mr.. Ferguson VOWS that his man
was infinitely more an idiot than Samuel
Lovers famous Handy Andy and declares
that some of the breaks" made by the
employe VIII stand beside anything ever
related by the wit in question. This va
lets chief possibility lay in the manner in
which he could misspell or misreai any
combination of letters ever put together.
Once given book containing a few long
words he could make them conform to any
tale he had in his mind and sometimes to
tales that his mind could not have hsld.
An example of this laughable stupidity
occurred when the company was leaving
New York MIR Ferguson had sent the
lad to the depot with his baggage, and
following few moments after, found him
with the valises still in his hands staring
at nearby car on the top of which ap-
peared in the conventional form the words
Michigan Central" After looking high
and low for something that might have
aroused the youths curiosity, the actor
finally turned to his man and enquired
at what he was glaring. The fellow made
no answer. and finally Mr.. Ferguson re-
peated his question.

the bon mots Of Lover or the satire of
