The Girl in the Barracks.

To-day, matinee and night at the
Opera House will be presented for the
first time in this city a new three act
comedy entitled THE Girl in the Bar
racks" Wherever this charming play
has been produced it has met with an
enthusiastic reception and has been
greeted with a storm of applause. ''The
Girl in the Barracks" enjoyed a long
and prosperous run at the Garrick The
atre in New York City and was stamped
with mark of approval by both press
and public. The scenes of the play are
laid in France and revolve around the
efforts of Lame Tourbillon, the little
actress Of the Alcazer to win wager by
spending a night in the barracks of
Melville without disclosing her true
identity. BY force Of circumstances she
is compelled to disguise herself as Gas
ton lie Bardy, the son of the million
aire chocolate manufacturer. All goes
serene until the true CASTOR appears
and is arrested for impersonating hime
self. The effrontery of LANE prevails
against the real Gaston's pleadings and
expostulations.

DIR. 7. w. Bates of Corfu, N. Y, states e;
"A most remarkable case has come under
my hands of late and has fully convinced me
of the wonderful power of DIR. A. w.
Chase's Nerve Pills over diseases of the
nerves.
"A young lady who was treated for over
two years for epilepsy by two doctors was
given up to die. found that her sickness
was not epilesy, but nervous troubles. due
to menstrual arrangements, and prescribed
four of DR.. Chasc's Nerve Pills day, after
meals and at bedtime. Since that time she
has not had single bad spell. Her health
has rapidly improved, she has gained about
Is pounds in weight, and do not hesitateto
state that ORA. w. Chasc's Nerve Pills have
saved her life and restored her to health.
Mrs. Fawcett of Marietta St., St. Glars
vile, O., says: ~ have used DR.. A. w.
Chascs Nerve Pills and can recommend
them to others as good sound reliable nerve
and general tonic. When got the box of
the Pills was complaining OF nervousness,
weakness and pain through the shoulders
rheumatic in SPECIFICATION not over good
as usual. The effect of the medicine has
been very satisfactory indeed. So marked
has been the change towards health and
comfort I can conscisntiously say they are
fine and what they are represented to be. AT
my advanced age feel l am getting all
the benefit possible" .
Mrs. M. J. Hubbard of Railroad Avenue.
Sistcrsville, w. Va, says: IL like DR..

The Deemster.

The Deemster.
Hall Game, whose play The Deems
ter" is to be produced at the Opera
House, Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee, was by all accounts
precocious lad, and at an early age
gave evidence Of the possession of those
qualities that have given him such
rank in the literary and dramatic world.
While still a boy he showed a great!
passion for poetry and was a most dill
gent reader of Shakespeare. His talent
for defamation was such that at the
school at Liverpool, where he was edu-
Gated, his schoolmaster, George Gill,
used to make him read aloud before all
the boys. He left school at the age Of
fifteen and was apprenticed by his faith
er to John Murray, architect and land
surveyor. When he has book or play
to write, he reads everything bearing
on his theme which he can obtain and
will work at his subject day and night,
all absorbed, wrapped up, concentrated.
This is how such success as Is Hall
Gaines is achieved.

No Lobster in This Menu.

OF the numerous good theatrical
menus placed before our rastldious pub
lie this season, that Of the Primrose &c
Dockstader Big American Minstrels,
which appears at the Opera House, on
Thursday, October Gath. is certainly the
best, as there is not lobster among
the whole deleetable serving. From
curtain rise to finale, one continuous
round Of effervescent merriment and
fun greets the theatre-going spieure.
Nor is this al, the entertaining, the
beautiful and the marvellous furnish
food for each and all, whether it be the
blase first-nighter or the most insatiate
of minds among the gallery gods. At
one time in the history of entertain
ment it was thought that minstrelsy
had seen its best days, but this was
only when promoters had failed to
grasp its true inwardnessIt took such
genius as that of Americas two greatest
purveyors of biack-face comedy to dis
cover and give to the public this nepen-
the for life tumultuous that else wou d
leave existence too often a weary tread

the transfer car on the Kentucky
Heights branch of the Wheeling Trac-

its approach to the station at the south
end of the line, but continued past the
bumpers and into the brick building
used as a depot. The car was badly
damaged and the wall of the building
was caved in. Fortunately no one was
hurt, but traffic was delayed for two
hours. The cause is supposed to have
been a slippery track. At the north
