The Belle of New York.

Of all the musical comedy extrava-
ganzas which George w. Lederer has
contributed to the stage in recent years
there is none which has ever impressed
theatergoers so favorable as 'The Belle
of New York" This has been forcibly
demonstrated by the crowded theaters
everywhere the piece has been present.
ed. 1t not alone tells a story which
keeps the average auditor in constant
anticipation but it is filed with bright
dialogue, catchy sayings and full Of hui
NOR that holds one in constant merri-
ment from the rise of the curtain ON
the first act to the fall on the last.
This organization is the same which.
after a season of $50 nights OF pro-

formances played at the Shaftesbury

The Marks.
From information received last night

From information received last night
from points above, the indications are
that the Ohio river will reach it's high
est stage, about % feet, this afternoon.
Last night the river at Pittsburg re-
corded a stage of IS feet and was ris-
ing so slowly that rivermen think the
rise has about matured at that point
and the extreme probable stage there
will be q feet.
The marks here at midnight recorded
a stage of 26 feet 5 inches and rising
at the average rate of 2h inches an
hour. At this time the river was en-
tirely free of ice, but during yesterday
morning the river was filled with the
heaviest ice that has passed this city
during the entire winter. All boats
were forced to the banks and were not
able to resume until late in the after
noon.
Much unwarranted anxiety vas
shown by those residing in the low
districts and by merchants in the busi-
ness section, and Capt. Crockard, of
the wharfboat, was kept busy answer
ing telephone inquiries as to the prob
able height of the river. Some even
went so far as to start the work OF
removing their goods. from cellars.
Yesterday the heavy Allegheny ice
sank the boat of the Central Garden
Club, beneath the steel bridge, but no
other damage in this vicinity was re-
ported.
At dark the water lacked about a
foot of covering the low ground below
the suspension bridge, Oh the Island
side, and by daylight this morning this
will probably be flooded. This will be
the only section in this vicinity to be
flooded.
Below is given the latest reports from
above, along with the usual river news
and movements of boats.

The situation at pittsburg.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 11.-Fears
of a flood at this point have been dis
PEELED by a decided drop in the tenn
perature and the cessation of the rain
which has prevailed for the past twen-
ty-four hours. The Ohio at 8 o'clock
tonight had reached a stage of Is feet
and rising slowly. Rivermen will be
surprised if a 23-foot stage is reached.
Trainmen report the Allegheny river
practically clear of ice from Pittsburs
to Oil City, and Brownsville, On the
Monongahela, reports the river falling.
No coal was shipped south to-day, but
it is expected the up-coming boats will
reach the harbor by Wednesday, when
a large fleet will start for southern
points.

Secret Service.
Secret Service" William Gillette's
war play, which will be presented with
the original scenery and effects at the
Opera House Saturday matinee and
night, contains no actual warfare, but
there is sanguinary conflict just beyond
its scenes and some of it's principal
characters are soldiers in fighting trim.
The action is confined to n evening
in Richmond while the historical siege
is in progress. Two Northern officers
-brothers-are there on the secret and
dangerous service of fooling the Con-
federate commander with a bogus tele-
gram, the object being to make him
uncover certain points of the city's de-.
Tense, to be captured by Union troops.
The love element is derived from the
fact that one of the spies gives his
heart to the commandments daughter
and gets hers.

lfvered = Cheek with = Very
David O'Leary, a 1~6-year-old mes
senger boy, was neatly trapped last
night while in the act OF stealing mail
from a private box in the postof-
flee.
OLeary is a messenger boy employ
ed at the Postal Office on Twelfth
street Up to the time of the arrest he
had a good reputation, and had no
more or greater faults than the av-
erage boy OF his years. His compan-
ions say he was very anxious TO have
money, however, and it was this that
got him into very serious trouble.
OLeary delivered messages TO z.
Schenk & Son, the meat dealers On
Market street, and stole the firms Key
to box 522 in the postofice. He had
previously seer a member of the firm
get the mail out of the box, anu it is
presumed that he made a mental note
OF its number and location. Tn: key
wa taken last Monday, but the box
was not tempered with until Thurs
day night. The loss was reported to
the postof1ce authorities, and two new
keys were secured by Schenk & Son.
They were advised to rent another
box, but did not think it necessary,
believing that the key had been SIM
ply lost or misplaced.
Thursday night box 522 was open
ed, and a number of letters, some very
important, were carried off. The let
tiers were opened, and later in the night
were placed in the letter box at the
corner of Market and Eleventh streets,
When they reached the firm nothing
was missing but one check.
On Friday young O'Leary brought
the check into Schenk & Sons Office,
and stated that he had been instructed
to do SO by a stranger who had paid
him twenty-five cents to open the box
and deliver the mail to him. The boys
story was believed, and all suspicion
diverted from him.
The %postofice authorities determined
upon a plan of %entrapping the thief,
and George ". Turner, the colored
~janitor, worked upon the case. One
man whom he suspected was kept un-
der surveillance for two hours. A
quantity of fake mail matter was
placed in box 522. A string was at
tached upon the inside. and a bell
hung upon the end.
About Z o'clock last evening young
O'Leary opened the box, and started
to take out the letters, when the bell
rang. Frank Mcmahon, who was on
the inside, heard the bell, and ran
to the carriers delivery window. He
called to O'Leary and demanded the
key. OLeary handed it in, and ran
out of the postoffice. Later he said
that the man who had sent him after
the mail was on the outside and told
him to get away as fast as possible,
or he would be arrested.
G. w. Turner was engaged at the
time, and when he got outside the post
office O'Leary was gone. He secured
a description of him, however, and a
little later arrested him in the Postal
telegraph Office.
OLeary was taken down to the post
office, where he was closely questioned
by Assistant Postmaster ALT. C. Da-
Wis. He at first told the story about
being employed by a stranger, but af-
forwards admitted his guilt.
He was taken before United States
Commissioner George E. Boyd, Jr.,
who required him to furnish bond in
the sun of $1,000 for his appearance at
the next term of the United States
Court. His father, Dennis O'Leary,
wentAon his bond.

Every carpenter who saw Maydole ham,

AS the name of Maydole stood for hammers
the name of Benson stands for plasters-
