SISTERSVILLE, w. Va, February
13.-Word was received in the city
last evening to the effect that Charles
G. Leasure, of Warrington, formerly
OF this city, who has been in the Has
kins Hospital at Wheeling, where he
was being treated for blood poisoning,
was in a very serious condition and it
was not believed that he could recov-
er. His mother, Mrs. S. G.. Leasure,
and sisters, Mrs. Perry A. Shanor and
Mrs. j. S. Hockinberry, left last even
ing for his bedside and will probably
remain with him for several days.
Mr.. Leasure sustained a severe bruise
to his leg between the knee and the
ankle at the fire in Warrington a
short time ago, but not thinking it
would prove serious he paid little at
tention to 1t. He is a very portly man
and the constant use of the leg devel-
oped the blood poisoning, which has
endangered his life. He has a large
number of friends here who will wish
and hope for his speedy recovery.
Mrs. Joseph P. Sweeney and Mrs.
James Sweeney, who were in New
Martinsville, have returned home.

York last nallf of Week, "A Night IN
Chinatown"
OPERA HOUsE-Ail week. Daniel R.
NEE, Camille; night, .ingomar;S Monday
night, The Telephone Girl
A Night in Chinatown.
Many of the recent successes have
been along the melodramatic lines and
one of the biggest new ones in that
direction SO far this season is "a
Night in Chinatown" which comes to
the Grand the last half of this week.
The Monaghan portion of New York
furnishes the playwright with a super
abundance of facts and striking char
acters. The gambling den, the dance
hall, the opium joint are there and
their riot, ~rascality, physical and
tai ruin, with the vice, the ruffianism,
the rags of the Belle Of Chinatown's
mongrel court form the subject of this
play to which the artists brush and
the mechanics skill have added fac
SMILES OF the haunts named and the
adjacent slums and streets. The belle
of Chinatown will be in the hands of
that clever actress, Miss Bessie Ro-
Cow. Madam and Augustin Melville
are in the cast.
The Telephone Girl.
This play, a New York Casino gem,
set to the daintiest, prettiest music,
the score by Gustav Kerker, that wiz
ard of the baton, the book by Hugh
Morton, who has written more sue
cesses for the noted Metropolitan play
house than any other author. This
play which will be seen here at the
Opera House Monday night, February
18th, is adapted to all tastes and there
in lies it's value as a money-maker. 1t
is n OF the ~jolliest, most irresistible
entertainments that has been presented
in many a year. Dave Lewis, who
plays the main role, is a host in him
self. Just to see him is to laugh, and
to hear his dialect and note his man
nerisms is to scream. He is Hans Nix,
the telephone inspector.
A First Class Attraction.
No lover of good music and whole
some comedy al afford to miss the
final opprtunity, which is presented
to-day, of witnessing the production
of "Dodge's Trip to New York at the
Grand. Henshaw and Tenn Brock are
clever entertainers, and they have sur
rounded themselves with a splendid
company of comedians, vocalists and
dancers. The piece is refined and
clean, and there is not a dull moment
from the rise to the fall of the cur
tain. The specialties in the second
act are particularly good. A special
matinee will be given to-day.
Camille and Ingomar.
Much less meritorious performances
of "The Three Musketeers" than the
Daniel r. Ryan company gave at the
Opera House last night, they have been
witnessed here at twice the price Of adj
mission. The play was well cast and
splendidly staged. Mr.. Ryan and
Miss Pitt had roles for which they were
peculiarly fitted. The production was
very artistic. Daily matinees will be
given during the remainder of the
week, commencing this afternoon with
the production of the favorite emotion
al drama Camille" Tonight will be
given a classical production of ing
omar, The Barbarian" with Margaret
Dibdin Pitt as "Parthenia," and Mr..
Ryan in the title role. This is regard
ed as one of the strongest bills of the
week.
