THE FIRsT PRODUCTION.

The first production of Joseph lie
Brandts new drama, Caught in the
Web" was given at the Opera House
on Saturday afternoon before a large
audience. The matinee was a long one,
owing to the fact that the scenery was
entirely new and unfamiliar to the
stage hands, but, although it took over
four hours to present the play, those
who witnessed it felt repaid. Mr. lie
Brandt is a young Philadelphian and
the author of ION the Stroke OF
Twelve" Caught in the Web being
but the second drama he has written.
He is to be congratulated upon the sue
cess Of his new play 1t contains strong
situations, and the company that pro-
duces it is an exceptionally good one.
Miss Gertrude Norris (Mrs. lie Brandt)
as Edna Stanley created most favor

ceived. The scenery is entirely new
and is far above the average seen at

in the production cost over $4,000. II
is to be hoped that Caught in the

The Poor Richard Reader: a.
Many dishes, many diseases.
Many medicines, few cures.
He that speaks much will be much
mistaken.
Creditors have Astter memories than
debtors.
Lend money and lose friends.
He that has patience can have what
he will.
The act you would hide should your
self be denied.
Diligence is tho mother of good
luck.
The clown is known by his antics,
and the wise man by their absence.
The frequent laughter should have
fine teeth.
1t is better to take many injuries
than to give one.
Are you angry that others disap-
point you? Remember that you can
not depend upon yourself
A lie stands on one leg, truth on
two.
Three may keep a secret--if two of
them are dead.
Keep thy shop. and they shop will
keep thee.
Pain wastes the body, pleasure the
understanding.
Be slow in choosing a friend. slower
in changing.
Necessity never made a good bar
gain.
If pride leads the van, beggary
brings up the rear.
Cheerfulness is contagious.
He that waits upon fortune is never
sure of a dinner.
Men rarely posses wealth; it pos
sesses them.

All things are cheap to the saving,

The Evening Journal has no admira-

pressive weight of surplus admiration
for Senator Kenney as a statesman. As

It is exceedingly gratifying that the
outrageous assertion was not accorded
the faintest indication OF approval by
anyone. On tho contrary, criticisms
we're numerous and censure was en-
phatic after the speeches were ended.
OF course there is no question about
%
a personal assault upon the only SEN

attack upon his character.
The charges against Clark. Of Mon
