THE BURGoMAsTER."

At the Worcester Theatre, Friday and
Saturday, that merry musical comedy,
THE Burgomaster," will again be seen
with all it's wealth of wit, beauty and
song, that has characterized it's phe-
nomenal runs in Chicago, Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Buffalo.
The music of 1.-THE Burgomaster" is
as bright and catchy as the lines are
clever. 1t is brimful of the daintiest,
prettiest little airs, with choruses to
match; and while there is really not
much of the score to bother one, it is
in more ways than one, more ambitious
and entertaining than that of many of
the comic operas of today; and there
is at the same time much that is or
iginal and feature after feature that
is tuneful and pleasing. The story, too,
laws some claim to originality, anI
rightly, as the prologue shows old Pc
ter Stuyvesant in the year 1860, in New
Amsterdam, bearing up in an admira-
blv sanguine way under all the bur-
dens which the office of burgomaster
entails. Following a method not ex-
clusively their own, Peter and his sec
rotary, Doodle Won Kull, resort to
strong beverages to relieve themselves
of a portion of the responsibility, with
the comic opera result that they sleep
$50 wears and wake up to arrive via
street excavation in modern New York.
The fun is the result of their adven-
lures in the hands of an up-to-date
bevy Of soubrettes vaudeville folks,
Bowery people and many other typical
personages of the gay metropolis; and
as a consequence the fun that follows
can easily be imagined, and all the
more happily remembered inasmuch as
the greater portion of 1t is set to mu-
sic, and is all the more enjoyable.

peace negotiations for the settlement of
the strike through the mediation of dis
interested parties-otlicials and members
of the National Civic deration-received
jolt when President Shatler of the

of such proceedings, and that if such a
move had been started it did not have the
official sanction of the organization. New

COL. MOkGAN'S BAIT.
Both It and His Famous Retriever
 Dog Prove Unruly.
Famous ArIxansas Genius Tries New Method of Fishing, But Will Hereafter Confine Himself
 to Hook and Line.

Ike Morgan, who lives down near Tulliver, Ark, does not believe in any new-fangled ways of fishing. Ike says that now and forever afterwards the good old way with rod and line is good enough for him. Ike keeps a hotel down near Tulliver and one day, says the Chicago Tribune, he was boosting to a lot of travelling men of new and improved way he had of fishing Ike said:
 "A want to tell -yo' gen'men that tn ole way yo' all hev' of fishin' is too slow. A fren' of mine told me if evah An got in hurry for good mess of fish thet tn only way to do would be to jest tek CT stick of dinahmite an' throw it into the river an blow the fish up, sah, and have enough fish fer the hotel for week, sah."
 The travelling men told Col. Nor gan they did not: think much of his scheme. They said the dynamite might make good deal of noise and all that, but all the effect it would have on the fish would be to stun them perhaps momentarily and that then they would swim away. If any fish should happen to be caught right near the exploding dynamite the trav- cling men declared that that particu- lar fish would be blown so high he wouldn't come down for two weeks, and when he did he would be so dead that he would not do for nice fry. Col. Morgan became quite heated by the. argument and declared he should experiment the very next morning and invited everybody to come down and watch his triumph.
 That day Col. Morgan drove over to mine near Tulliyer and secured a big dynamite cartridge which was to be fired with fuse. The next morning Col. Morgan, with the dyna- mite cartridge carefully carried in a basket and attended by his guests and most of the male population of Tulliver, went down to the river to make the test. Col. Morgan care fully ignited the fuse and then, straining every muscle, threw the cartridge with all his might into the river. Unfortunately he threw too
