SAME LITTLE GIRL.
lErom the Chlcngn Trlbnne,l

(From the Chicago Tribune,)
There was little girl.
And she had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead
mo room for it," she said,
.On the side of my head"
For she lived Ia a flat-which was horIid,
The little hat she wore,
Long behind and before,
Pointed up in the air. like an arrow,
And she had little plume
On the top There wasn't room
On the side, cause the fiat was too narrow
Her pretty little mouth
Always pointed north and south,
As ifit only uttered 'prunes' or 'tprism-
Neither cabbages' nor game"
Could she un iertake to name;
There wasn't even room for 'rheumatlSm.
So the dear little girl
With her pretty little curl,
And her plume, and her "prunes ana ne
prism"
And her narrow little hat,
Dwelt contented in u flat,
For she hadn't any room for pessimism.

"Man's Enemy" is the attraction ut
the Grand Opera House Thursday Maj ch
Is. This play is classed as melodrama
which means the life Of modern times
presented with modern accessories and
strong effects. 1t ia q moral sermon in
action, and the evils of drink is portrayed
in a manner that would cause Francis
Murphy, the unequaled disciple of tenn
perance, to applaud with Joy, could he
be present. The artistic excellence
which gives it pleasing tone consists OF
the glamour and agreeable colors, while
the retributive effects are portrayed in
dramatic situations unequaled. The
illusion is perfect, the result superb, not
revolving as is the old play on the same
theme. known as "Ten Nights in Bal
Room" The scenery realizes the Monte
Carlo, Blenheim Castle and other Englisl

ADJUSTMENTS.

Thomas E. Shea in the stirring naval
drama, "Man-o'War's Man," will be at
the Grand Opera House commencing to-
night for two nights and one matinee.
This great play, although written three
wears ago, anticipated with considerable
accuracy the late trouble between the
United States and Spain, and the pres
ant trouble over the Philippine Islands.
This years production, in which there
are several minor changes to fit contem-
porary circumstances, is a very good
realistic naval picture of the war with
Spain, with lot of secret service doings,
and attempts at blowing up an American
officers, council of the powers, and 8
capital love story, all of which 90 tc
make up thoroughly enjoyable play

the assumption that the B~eattyville litiga-
ton will turn out ultimately in favor of the
Monon company. a handsome surplus avail
able for betterments or for dividends is
being accumulated. All of the surplus in
come of 1900, save one item of less than
$1,000. was carried TO the credit of profit and
loss. Examination of the operating ex-
pense accounts indicates that no less than
100000 of surplus revenue went into addi-
tons and improvements in the roadway
department, and not less than $50, 900 or $780,
600 in the equipment department in the year
that ended June 80 last. BY reason of the
marked Improvement of the last few years
in the physical condition of the property
its operating efficiency has been raised de-
cidedly. Since 1897 the average freight
trainioad has been raised successfully from
40 to 230. 26S and POI tons. In the same
time ton-mile revenue has fallen s. of a
mill. Combining the two factors. freight
train mile earnings, which stood at 81 6
In 1896 and 1897, have advanced to S2.20. This
is a good index of the character of the
administration. More significant yet, per-
haps, contrasting 1900 with 1899. is this:
That In the earlier year conducting trans
portation and general expenses consumed
81 per cent. OF the company's gross earn
ings, while in the year just ended the pro-
portion of gross earnings absorbed by these
expenses fell TO 1874 per cent. Any COM
pany that can do it's work with an outlay
OF only one-third of it's gross revenue in
transportation and general expenses makes
a noteworthy record"

in the big stallion championship free-for-
all trot at Readville, Mass, yesterday. Fol-
lowers of the harness horses in this city
picked Cresceus, owned by George H.
Ketcham. as the winner of the 500 purse.
and a few won money on the event. Cres-
ceus was picked as u winner no doubt be-
cause he held the best mark, and the In
dianapolis fraternity knew the ability Of
Mr.. Ketcham TO drive the speeder to vic
tory. In the first heat he finished third,
then second In the next heat. but in the
three succeeding heats Mr.. Ketcham drove
Cresceus under the wire first, and cap
tured first money. Mr.. Ketchum is well
known In indianapolis. as he is president
