be done to improve the walk along this
thoroughfare. An attempt seems to have
been made to put in a gravel walk and

tention Of the city authorities.

The last two chances for theatre-goers
to see the splendid production of Carl
tons brilliant comedy IA Gilded Fool
so successfully presented at McCullum' s
theatre this week, Is offered this after
noon and evening. Crowded houses have
been the rule during the week and roars
of laughter and strains of applause have
signified the approval Of all who wit
messed the performances. The advance
sale for today denotes capacity business.
Next week the attraction will be The
Lost Paradise from the German Of Lud-
wig Fulda and adapted from the original
by the eminent drsmatist, Henry G. De
Mile. 1.-The Lost Paradise" deals with
the greatest question Of the day, capital
versus labor. and the subject is handled
in a manner so daring, yet SO skillful
that all classes are deeply impressed with
the great story evolved from this subject,
yet no offence can be taken from the most
radical adherents Of either side.
