THE SUNSHINE OF PARADISE
ALLEY.
Sun, moon and star VIII all shine
bright In 1.-The Sunshine of Paradise
Alley" on Monday and Tuesday next,
Nov. and 9, when it comes to the
Jefferson for it's second visit. Though
this picture" play Of sDenman Thomp-
son and Geo. W. Ryer's, is now In its
fifth year of success, 1t is still greeted
everywhere with that warmth OF feeling
which leaves no doubt OF the strong and
lasting hold whichsit has upon che hearts
of the amusement-loving public Thous-
ands are familiar with the simple story
OF how sweet little angel of peace de-
votes her life to the uplifting OF the un-
rortunates about her, and how, through
her efforts, the alley rs regensrated; and,
finally the happy, peaceful gathering at
the picnic In Bronx Park. This season
the company is stronger than usual.
John Moore, the great basso. in his origi-
nal role of DIR. Curtis, returns to the cast.
The other old tavorites: Phila May, Mrs.
Charles Peters, Helen Quincy, Grace
Kimban John Walsh, W. J. Sully, John
j. Flynn, Geo, P. Armand, and the
Verdi Ladies' Quartette are all retained.
Election returns win be read from the
stage between the acts, on Tuesday even
ing. And arrangement viii be made with
the Western Union Telegraph Co. for a
special wire at the theatre, over which
the very latest returns will be received.
NOTES.

= Joseph Jefferson, accompanied by his
son, Joseph Jr., attended James O'NeilI's
performance of Monte Cristo'' at the
Boston Theatre one night. During the
progress OF the play, the Sage or Crow g
Nest went behind the scenes to shake
hands with Mr.. O'Neill, who once used
to be a member Of his company.
Il thank you for the greatest perform
ance OF Monte Cristo' l have ever seen
in my life,'' said Rip Van Wrinkle to Ed
mcnd Dantes, and I want to state that
have never seen a more artistic or elabo :
rate production during my entire career
ON the stage, The last time 1 saw this
play was many, many years ago, land
played Caderouse, to e. 5. Davenport s
performance Of Dantes. Davenport 6
Dantes was good, James, but yours is
BETTER
Naturally, Mr.. O'Nein feels highly
elated over such compliments coming
from the Dean Of the American stage.
Mr.. O'Neill and the new Monte CristO

ingale and rot the lark, are few
among many features Orthy OF special
mention. Miss Hilda Spong, whose stage
presence was most bewitching, gave a
forceful portrayal OF Lady Beaudevere
without permitting herself under any
circumstances to Over-act. She had a
most intelligent idea OF the nature of the
woman she impersonated and gave each
word and act their full value. Miss
Henriques, a pretty picture to look at,
made very creditable Juliet, though it
was somewhat lacking In vitality and
color. Mr.. Finney aud Mr.. Courtenay
were admirable and Miss Rhoda Cam
eron's Princess7 was a gem OF it's kind
with its ingratiating French accent.
There was a finesse and a graciousnses
about her characterization which was
captivating, All the others in the cast
met every requirements of their respeo-
tive roles and to particularize further
seems unnecessary. There were twenty
four speaking parts, eleven male and
thirteen female, the equal of which in
artistic ability we believe never before
was sem on the Jefferson stage. II so
we cannot recall the occasion.
The closing performances of the COM
pany's engagement will be given today

Foote'S court against the BeldingH Hall
Mfg. Co. of this city, over the payment
for quantity of steel shipped to the
Belding-Hall Co. by the plaintiffs in
July last. The dispute arises over the
question as to when the goods were
purchased. The defendants claim it was
part of an order placed some time pre-
vious and should be paid for at price
contracted at that time The plaintiffs
do not allow this, but claim they
shipped upon their order at regular
market price, which had advanced
very materially. |. L. Hubbell repre-

NOT ORDAINED OF GOD.

Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn, the
eminent divine who had warm
place in the hearts of his country
men and who recently departed this
life, had these significant words tC
say, in which he took occasion to
administer rebuke to the favored
few who plumber the masses and
revel in luxury:
IF God is father, then he is not
stepfather. If God is II just God, if God
is wise GOD, if God is IA good and low
ing God. he cannot have sent the great
mass of his children into the world TO be
cursed forever with something that he
calls evil and have sent chosen few to
be blessed with the exclusive possession
of those material things out of which all
Gods children are required, or condemn
ed. If you Will, to work out their earth V
salvation 1t requires not the inspired
word of the psalmist of Israel to make us
know. but it is the natural instinct of the

the earth to the children of men,
May these words find Judgment in

the American people in the act of

we do, by this election from a village
government to that of a city of the
second class, it may be one of the
most important in the history of
Weiser, and indifference as to who is to
manager affairs under the new order
should not be manifest. The qualif-
