is in daily practice not far from

made no arrests, though complaint
and protest has been lodged
against the offender, and it is not
improbable that efforts will be
made to have one of our most

brought into the Mayors court
and charges preferred against him
for the many cutting affairs ne

Kind friends have approached
this offending party and advised
him as to the purpose Of sundry
parties to cause lis arrest and
trial. But this slasher pays no
regard to these warnings, but on
the other hand grows more desper-
ate and defiant.
Our readers will be surprised to
learn that these charges are to be
made against SO worthy and in
offensive citizen as A. Max.
He pleads justification and de-
clares his purpose to do more
cutting than ever before. Indeed,
he has cut the price Of everything
in his big stores fully 20 per cent,
and he invites his friends to stand
by him in his efforts to give them
good goods at a great saving to
them. He says he will 60 to Jail

It may seem odd to the public
to say that it can get the same

given in any first-class theatre.
The auditorium of this canvas
amphitheatre will contain
twenty -four private boxes, each
seating six persons, each box to
have its own private entrance,
making them as exclusive as if
they were in the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York. The
orchestra will contain one thou

aisles. The chair is of perfora-
ted design used in all the princi-
pal theatres during the summer
season. A corps of uniformed
ushers and attendants will see

be two performances daily, af-
