TIE MAN IN THE MOON.

On Friday, Saturday and Monday
evenings the operetta, eth. Man in
the Moon" was presented at the Opera
House, under the direction of Mr.. J.
G.. Hoffman OF New York. 1t was
under the auspices of the Civic Club,
and their share of the proceeds will
60 into the Public Library fund. The
operetta is combination of pretty
airs from popular light operas, and
the entertainment was charming one
throughout. Mr.. Hoffman is an affable
gentleman who thoroughly under
stands his business, and his drilling of
SO many people, including a large
number of children in so short a time
was wonderful He is ably assisted
by Miss Vandusen, pianist.
The goblins were one of the best
features of the show, and all did their
parts well.
The Umbrella Dance by Clarssa
Peacock and Marguerite Eshleman
was very pretty, and very gracefully
done by the little ladies. Misses Ora
White, Claire Gross and Nellie Swep-
penhiser made hit as the London
Swells.
The leading parts were filled by
DR.. A. X. Aldinger, w. H. Coffman,
Edward Lewis, Paul Harman, Frank
Colley, Misses Sloan, Rawlings, Hen
dershott, Albert, Cope, White, Foulke,
Girton and Miller.

penter, was also winner, and recelv-
ed much applause.
The Archer Cadets We're Misses
Low, Buckalew, Hartman, White,
Neal, Address, Ethel Hartman and
Hemingway. They looked pretty and
marched WELL
Harold and Mae Gross as the
komlcal Rooms, were very entertain
ing, There were large number in
the chorus who deserve equal credit
with those who had more prominent
parts, but their names are not at hand.
One of the most serious drawbacks to
the proper presentation of the operetta
was the smallness of the stage. and
the absence of appropriate scenery
and stage properties, but even this

MIGHT NOT BE so FUNNY.

There are some very funny people
living up along the line of the trolley
road. Not long ago they fixed up
dummy and laid it on the track, and
thought it was good joke when car
ran over it and nearly frightened a
motorman out OF his wits. On Satur-
day evening they tried to be funny
again, and laid piece of hemlock
scantling across the track. Several
cars ran over 1t, but fortunately no
accident occurred. This sort OF sense
less sport ought to cease, and we are
informed that the company is on the
lookout for these funny people, and if
they are detected they will have to
abide the consequences. 1t may not
be generally known that the law pro-
vldes for punishment in such cases.
The act of ] 500, Pamphlet Laws, page
$50, section I42 reads as follows:
MALICIOUS MISCHIEF TO RAILROADS:
If any person shall wllfully and mali
ciousy put, place, cast or throw upon

the cases aforesaid, to obstruc,, upset,
