 Persons Who Have Purchased Tickets
 Should Be Sure They are Right.
 The many people who have secured tickets for the drama s'The Colleen Bawn," which is to be presented at Polls theater on next Monday even ing, St Patricks night, should bear in mind that only the new tickets that have been issued within the past two weeks are the correct ones. None of the first lot of tickets issued will be received at the door, nor can they be exchanged for reserved seat tickets. All those who have bought tickets can get the new ones by applying to the persons who sold them the tickets. The latest ticket issued has on the bottom of it the announcement that this ticket can be exchanged. for reserved seat on and after Friday, March 14, at the box office of Polls theater. In order to avoid confusion, therefore, all those holding tickets should be sure that they have the right ones, for no others will be accepted or received in exchange.
 The reserved seat list will be placed on sale and exchange at Polls box office tomorrow morning, not Saturday morning. All who desire to witness the performance can secure seats by making early application. As the the- ater will seat very many more than the tickets printed, all who desire good seats can secure them by applying at the box office of the theater any time tomorrow or any day until the night of the performance. It would be well for all to get after their seats as early as possible, as there will be an unusu- al demand for seats. You can gain ad- mission for p cents or you can get the best seats in the house for 35 and 90 cents.
 The costumes have arrived and they are excellent perhaps the best that this city has ever seen for any amateur production. They will be given out to the members of the cast tomorrow evening at St Patrick's hall and all who are taking part will be more than pleased at the selection. Another good rehearsal was held last evening and it was almost II o'clock before the mem bers of the cast were dismissed. These last few days are pretty hard ones, and they are made all the harder be- cause all have been vaccinated and the gestures of the left arm are some times very painful Yet the young la dies and gentlemen are working dili- gently and faithfully, and never has a cast made better efforts to make a sue cessful issue of the production. If you desire to spend a pleasAnt St Pat rick's night take your wife and family down to Polls theater on next Mon- day evening and you will be almost convinced that you are again visiting the scenes of the old land and that you are living once more ill the little isle over the sea.

AN UNEvENTFUL LIFE.

Issac Hopkins, of Bell County was witness for the commonwealth against Caleb Powers. charged with the murder of William Goebel. It had been whispered that Hopkins was a 'bad'' man. and the lawyers for the state thought it best to air his repu- tation a little before putting him on the stand
 Have you ever been in troubleY' queried one of the attorneys of Hop kins.
 ''Nothin' to speak of, ''he replied s'What was the nature of the trouble '.Oh, it don't mount to nothin' no- how.
 Well, were you ever indictedY, '.Yes, sir; I've been indicted.'s
 s'What for?"
 .'Well, shot fellow once.'
 Ibid he die?' is, not till bout o'clock that evenin'. y What did you shoot him for?.
 Wall, 1 don't think he treated my family just what you might call white"
 What did he do then?'
 He didn't act polite like to my aunt
 .Well. what did he do to her?''
 Why, If yer want to know, he dragged her up the road by the hair.v Was anything done to you for shooting the man?"
 ''Nothin' so very much''
 s'What was it?''
 "Only hung me up by the neck an l/f' me thar. But my wife. she run out with butcher knife an cut me down. come to in bout seven hours, 7 Had you been sentenced to be hanged?"
 "Oh no 'twant nothin' but a little thing between the neighbors, but 1 come clar all right-after three trials. ; Have you ever been in any other trouble?v
 "No-no, sir. not what you might call real trouble.
 Were there any other indictments against you?''

MINSTREL A BANK PRESIDENT.

There was offered for probate yester- day the will of q man who died re- gently who had been for some 30 years q negro minstrel He began his ca reer as minstrel in the very year that Frederick D. Happen was elected pres Ident of the Gallatin national bank. In all that time MT Happen has heen associated with the great company of financiers of New York and upon four or i've occasions was the emergency general who led the forces of the clearing house against the panic stricken forces of the stock exchange. and put panic and demoralization to rout. The minstrel, West leaves an estate estimated at little over $5O,- oO0, and another who was for many years his partner, still living, is, ac- eording to common belief, the pos sessor of even greater wealth than that.
 Mir Tappen's will has not been pro- bated yet, but it is the impression of those who knew something about his affairs that it will be found that he left a very modest estate. There will be great surprise if it is discovered that MT Happen possessed as much as S20O,OOO He was accustomed to say that he was in a great measure dependent upon his salary as bank president for his support.
 The explanation of this apparently strange inconsistency is discovered in the temperament and ambitions of the two men. The minstrel was very prudent man, who had cultivated hab- it's Of saving, whose habits were good and who had ambition to make a con- siderable fortune. MT Happen had no ambition to be a rich man. He was able several times to save very rich men from distress and even bankrupt cy. and one of the most vivid of his recollections was the haggard despond- ency with which man now of inter- national prominence in the group of great railway organizers and combin- CTS came to him on the event of the panic of '93. saying he was ruined un- less the clearing house did something. The clearing house did do something the next day which saved not only this man. but a great many others.
 MT Tappan's great ambition was the perfection of the New York clearing house association. and only a few days before his last sickness he said to the writer that he believed the clearing house system was perfect with single exception, that there was one weak ! spot in it to which he had given a great deal of thought in the hope of strengthening it. It was the weak | spot that was disclosed at the time of | the great emergency and embarrass- ment occasioned by the failure of the l Seventh National bank. MT Tappan hoped in the course of this year to have devised some method which would make an experience of that kind again 1 impossible New York Letter to Philadelphia Press.

ION THE sUwANEE RIVER"

ION THE SUWANEE RIVER.
 Stephen c. Fosters dear old song, Sold Folks at Home," or, as it is more familiarly known, Way Down Upon the Suwanee River is the source from which the late w. B. Sterling has drawn the theme and title for his play, ''On the Suwanee River" which will be the attraction at Polls for three days, beginning this evening, with mat inees tomorrow and Saturday. The play is credited with a healthy atmos- phere and an intelligent treatment by the author. It tells the old story or mortgaged estates, love, villainy, and the final overthrow of intrigue. The situations are all natural and there are many thrilling scenes, one of the most dramatic of which is the one where the blind girl is about to cross an old rustic bridge which spans deep ra- wine. The villain sees in this situation q quick way to possess himself of the property rightfully belonging to the blind girl, and to this end he removes several of the board of the bridge, thus making q death trap for her. Just as it seems positive that the girl must step into this trap her progress is ar rested by the singing of the field hands

FLOWER LOVERS FAD.

The perfumes of flowers exercise considerable effect on the air of liv- ing rooms; hence many people are most scrupulouSly careful what sort of cut blooms they have in their apartments. To what an extent this is carried the writer had no idea until, when in q West End florists the other day he happened to over hear a fashionably dressed woman giving some orders.
 Now, remember she said, no lilies. They make me faint and the odor of mimosa is horrible. You may however, put some roses in the center piece. Their perfume is delightful "
 These and other recommendations lasted fully a quarter of an hour, but at last the woman took her leave.
 Ut is to be hoped said to the for ist, ''that you do not often come across so capricious a client"
 "Unfortunately," was the reply, 'it happens every day. You may be sur prised at the likes and dislikes of cer- tain women for certain flowers, and may tell you candidly that it is part of our business to bear in mind when making bouquets for the dining table or drawing room the peculiarities of our customers.
 "Many persons are of the opinion that the perfume of flowers yitiates the air of an apartment This is an altogether false idea and one which prevents many people from inhaling the scent of blossoms of which they are fond.
 T can only go further and prove that there is not the slightest danger in sleeping in a closed room contain ing odoriferous blooms, as personally I have during my long career as q florist passed hundreds of nights in chamber containing hyacinths, nar- cissi, jonquils, tube roses and garden ias, and have risen in the morning as fresh as @ daisy
 A little reflection. based on common sense, will show that this fear of for al odor is chimerical. Are not the greater number of artificial scents the extracts of plants, herbs and flowers, and is the person who fears a bunch of mignonette or heliotrope equally afraid of her or his t-bedrenched handlxerchiefg With nine people out of ten the fear is due to imagination"

THE CYCLE WHIRL.
Manager Poli Corrals the Biggest Nov

 Manager Poli Corrals the Biggest Nov
 city in Vaudeville
 Word has been received from Man ager Poli that he has secured the orig inal cycle whirl for exhibition at the Jacques next week. This is regarded as the most striking novelty brought out in years, and has been a tremen- dous sensation for months at Keith's and Proctor's vaudeville theaters. The Whirl is a miniature track built into a frame that resembles saucer and on the Inclined sides four riders race for dear life on wheels, riding at an angle of full 45 degrees. The riders begin on the level bottom of the basin. which is about sixteen feet square, and gradu- ally as they acquire momentum they ascend the inclined sides till they are well up and then go whirling around In bewildering fashion, seeming at times as though they must capsize, so Tar to the center do they lean. But to make the act still more sensational. the Sehreyers, who introduce the whrl heTcc have mastered the top mount; that is to say one daredevil little fellow climbs to the shoulders of one of the riders and goes whirling around in this fashion to the amazement of every be- holder.
 This ccle whirl is the most daring lining yet accomplished by wheel ex- perts, and in the large cities it has proved an extraordinary sensation. It Is freely predicted that it will be the same case here, and that the Jacques will be visited by about everyone in town next week.
