OVER THE FENCE - OCT. %.

OVER THE Il ENCE - OCI. *.
The man who appreciates a good,
wholesome laugh, embellished with all
the frills OF unmistakable enjoyment,
is offered the latest farce comedy, "Over
the Fence" In presenting this piece to
the American public, the management
admits that it is built solely for the
purpose to amuse, and while there is a
plot to be lcltswed it is not of such
magnitude shat the auditor will lose
any needed rest in the endeavor to keel
track of the same While there ha ;
been added novelties foreign to farce
comedy and of an interesting nature in
themselves, it has at the same time
been borne in mind that the author in
tended his play to be produced in such
form as to give scope for all that was
intended for it.

First Car on Main Street.
(Oct. 10, 1900.)

(Oct. 13, 1900)
I saw it ne'er before
Till IL pounded past the door
With bang
How it rumbles DER the ground,
How the paving stones resound
With its clang
Lo. its wires hiss and siz,
And its wheels so full of biz
And blue fire;
Most plainly do express,
He who says we've not progress
Is liar.
Davy Dougal would have said
Poor old fellow, he is dead
Long ago
That the tarnal thing would scare
The very Devil. till his hair
Was like snow.
But its come and is here to stay,
Let it scare whoe'er it may,
Up or down.
For the street car is the thing
That will lively business bring
To our town.
And if we should live to be.
Like old Dave. q hundred three
We will find
That fair Butler has spread out,
Leaving Pittsburg, without doubt,
Far behind. N.

Grand Opera House, PittsbTg.

The week of October 22nd will wit
ness the presentation at the Grand
Opera House Pittsburg, of Rosemary,
one of John Drew's notable successes a
few years ago. Like all of Mr.. Drews
plays, it is clever and refined. At the
same time it tells pretty story, beauti-
fully set i'll a romatic background.
Few plays have so sweet an atmos-
phere surrounding them This play is
widely different from the thrilling
drama that is proving such success at
the Sword is full of life, action, plot
and counter plot.

1t condemns as hypocritical the recent
trust agitation in the House.
The chief characteristics of the present
Republican National Administration are
its weakness, its corruption. Its course
has been vacillating and contradictory
on nearly all public questions.
1t has covered l,p and sanctioned the
scandals of its military administration.
The disclosures of the corruption of its
appointees are breaking out everywhere.
1t has tolerated an offensive bossism
around the White House which was virtu-
ally dictated the civil appointments in
nearly. all of the States.
The platform opposes any alliance Of
any sort with any foreign government
that stands in the way of republican in
stitutions and aid for brave people strug
Cling for freedom 1t instructs the dele
gates to act as a unit.
The Democracy of New York favor the
nomination of William Jennings Bryan
of Nebraska, for President of the United
States at the approaching national COL
vention and the delegates selected by
this convention are hereby instructed to
unite with the Democracy of the other
States of the Union in making such nomi-
nation and we pledge the unfaling snp-
port of the Democracy of New York to
the platform adopted at such convention. -
The convention gave promise of being
very stormy, but ended quietly. The
particular feature of the convention was
the domination of affairs by ex-senator
David B. Hill.
