Kelly a FaYOrite Still.

There was good sized audience in at
tendance on the opening night of the
Peoples Players at the Opera house last
evening. The production, a fve-act COM
edy drama, 1.-The Black Flag" was salts
factory and pleased the audience i'm
mensely. The cast of characters is a
capable one and John E. Kelly, the old
time favorite, retains his hold with local
theatre goers, judging from the reception
rendered him last evening. The plot of
"The Black Flag" holds the interest
throughout, and there is every indica-
ton of full houses during their engage
ment. A large number of specialties
were introduced throughout the play
and the selections of the orchestra were

lations with South Africa the cessa-
tion Of the Boer war will mean a large

Until the army is entirely withdrawn
