The following appeared in the dra-
matte page OF the Sunday Post:
That charming coincidence, Fanny
Rice, assisted by an excellent COM
pany, will begin an engagement at
the Duquesne tomorrow. appearing
in triple bill Of delightful comedies,
presenting at each performance three
separate and distinct plays. Il was
this same style of entertainment
which made Rosina Vokes so famous.
and in fact, Miss Rice, having secured
Miss Vokesu entire repertoire, presents
many Of the same plays in which
Miss Vokes used to appear It is a
style Of performance that has proven
most successful with Miss Rice. The
company is headed by the handsomest
young English actor, Charles Cherry,
formerly of John Hare's London com
pany. Other clever people are includ-
ed.
Miss Rice is said to have an extra
ordinary display of costumes. One
opera cloak which She wears in the
"Circus Rider creation from Pa
quin, Of Paris, is most gorgeous af-
fair. When she removes this cloak
she IS seen in one Of the most beauti-
full evening dresses ever worn on any
stage. 1t is creation of Russell &
Aliens of London. Equally fine are
SAID to be her dresses in "Double Les
son in Acting" 'eThe Pantomime
Rehearsal, 1.-THE Double Bill, sMy
Milliner's Bill" and "Wig and Gown, -
while as "Poor Man. in 1.-THE Good
for Nothing" she appears in costume
that is marvel of shreds and patches

in "The Little Individual" she wins
the heart of every woman in the au-
dience. Sunday Post.

The bill for the erection Of the
bridge across the river at or near

to have the bridge if built cross at
the mouth of Deckers creek and con
meet with the Morgantown q King
wood which is to be part of the
Central Railroad OF West Virginia
running South to Charleston.
Connection is to be made at the
other end with the roads going down

they will be built soon and others
that it will be years before anything
is seen OF the kind. 1t is hard

WHEN il EASTER9
Question Raised as to the Date for the
Celebration This Year.

There is some argument going on
about the exact date of Easter and
some people are claiming that next
Sunday is the proper day to cele-
brate. AS the day was generally OBJ
served last Sunday it seems that it
makes out little difference what peo-
pie say about the matter now.
They claim however that the first
full moon after which Easter comes
did not arrive before last Sunday as
the moon fulled three minutes after
midnight on that day Consequent
ly next Sunday is the right day.
The day having already been OBJ
served viii prevent any further no.
tice of it this year. 1t is an inter
esting question however.

Receives New Coats And Boots Fhat Are
Too Big For Them Lecture To BE
Given Under Their Auspices.

The fire company was called in a
special meeting on Monday night 70
receive the boots and coats that had
been purchased for them by the conn
ell and to consider the matter of a
lecture TO be delivered here the latter
part of this month.
They have been needing the boots
and coats for some time and expected
TO get fitted out. The boots when
received proved to be hip boots that
have to be strapped TO the waist
before they can be worn. The coats
instead OF being box coats are very
long and come below the knees
Both of these articles are needlessly
long aud needlessly in the way The
company will be hampered instead Of
being helped by the stuff il what they
say about it is true.
The matter of a lecture on April
Both by Dr. Err on "Boer and Brit
on" was considered favorably. The
company viii rent the Opera House
and will give the lecture there They
expect to have very large house.
The lecture is an illustrated one and
Is very fine one. There should be a
liberal patronage on the part Of the
public of this organization which does
SO much for the protection of the
town.

BURNED AN ILLICIT STILL.
Grant County Citizens Put an End to an
Enterprise that Had Flourish
ed for Years.

For years Sam Self, operating in
the wilds of Grant county, has Toasted
and grown fat from the sale of large
illicit distillery's products. Hidden
among the tall mountains of Grant
county, Sells operations, while known
to a certain extent, could never be
stopped by officers of the law, many
of whom have made attempts to To-
cate and dislodge the violator of I'm
Gle Sans revenue laws. But, not
withstanding the fact that the curl
ing wreath of smoke from Sells still
could often be seen floating off into
the blue sky, the seeker for his retreat
would always lose his bearings some
where in the innumerable winding
ravineS, reaching up toward the tops
of the Alleghenies.
Many of Sells friends and patrons
would not give him away, or help in
any way to stop his Illicit work, but
for some time there has been grow
ing up among the better element
of the settlers of the noun
tains a sentiment toward stopping
Sells work, and one night last week a
band was organized, burning Self's
distillery and all its belongings to the
ground. 1t is said that there are a
number of other distilleries doing an
illicit business 10 that section.
