OPERA HOUSE ATTRACTION.


 Not person who was present re- grets their choice among the excellent attractions booked at the theatres this week, in selecting "Three Cheers" It is truly comedy treat, and pro- nOunced among all to be among the best laugh creators ever seen here. The piece is from the pen of Matthew Ott, and abounds in funny situations and ludicrous complications. The many amusing absurdities held the audience in perpetual laughter, and at different intervals developed these dem- onstration of mirth into uproars of ap- plause.

AN INTERPRETING RELIC OF THE FRI

AN INTERESTING RELIC OF THE FIRE.
 The editor of THE BEE has an inter- esting relic of the lire. Five, years ago he strolled into M. w. Hills jew elry store one day and seeing a ring which struck his fancy, and the said Hill being a good friend, he managed to buy it. The Monday before the fire he was in MT Hills store again, and handing the genial M. w. H. the ring the newspaper man asked him to clean it. MT Hill placed it in a tum- bier of water, and Friday, after the fire, in poking in the ruins, found the tumbler he had placed the ring in. Turning it on to a board to get rid of the dirt, he found the ring, not dam aged bit. The tumbier had cracked 9ff tG the point where the water came and then it filled up with ashes and dirt.

Going in the Wrong direction

According to a ~wel!-known citizen
the intersection of Franklin and Lafay-
cite streets was the scene recently Oh
one of the most laugGable incidents on
record, says the Tampa Herald.
The small, but faithful. band Of Sal
walton Army workers mad gathered at
the corner at the usual hour, and the
usual crowd was on naEd To hear the
Word of God from tl.eir lips. In the
crowd there was an individual who APP
peared to be somewhat the worse for
having gazed too long on the flowing
bowl, and thereby hangs the tale.
Presently. one of the cadets came to
the front with the statement that he
had been on his way to heaven for a
Period of ten years. Brothers, he
aid. Il have been on my way to cory
for ten years, and am still travelling in
that direction. Won't you 20 along
with me?"
The statement seemed 10 amuse the
woozy one. and he rolled G near the
speaker and looked at him, inquiring-
ly. Finally he asked in a decidedly
'brown-toned' voice:
SHAY, brother, did you shay That you
beer on Zhe way to heaven ten years"
Yes brother and / wish you were
going with me-" was the solemn reply
Well. il you been travelin' ten years,

truth of the statement brought laughter
to the lips Of many.

Fitzsimmons stood on Kafghn avenue
near Second street yesterday. when he
saw a white man carrying a bag under
his arm. Probably no other person on
the avenue saw anything suspicious
either in the man or tn bag, but Fitz-
simmons caught something that caused
him to rivet his gaze upon the bag
carrier, and he said to some bystand-
eTs: That fellow doesn't carry that
bag as an honest man should. see his
watched or followed. I'll halt him."
Approaching the b~ag-carrier, Fitz-
simmons said: What have you got in
that bag?"
Nothing" sldInmcTei the man.
"Oh yes, you have" ventured Fitz-
simmons. Il have orders to watch ior
you for the pas. three weeks"
Then the man weakened and Admit
ed that he hal some brass journals
in the bag. and said he was employed
at Cramps ship yard, in Philadelphia.
He also stated hat he had a lot Of

at No. 1161 Crescent street. There

Strange Sight ut Sea.

Baltimore, September S.-Captain
DeIano, of the steamer Chesapeake,
which arrived today from New YORK,
brought evidence of a queer perform
ance he witnessed at sea-. On Sunday,
when ten miles southeast Of Fenwicks
island lightship, the Chesapeake sue,
denly ran into water that was biood
red. A layer of what appeared to De
lead colored dust covered surface of wa
ter for miles. At first Captain Delano
thought the change in the water coioL
could be attributed to a ref1ectlon OF
from the contents Of some DEBRIS OF
liquid thrown overheard from a Vessel.
Several bucket fulls were drawn up
and al was as deeply colored as me
sea had appeared. Bottles We're filled
with the water. What then puzzled the
captain was hat the leaden like dust
that covered the sea and apparently
fioated on the wine colored waters did
not float, but mixed with the water n
formed a sediment at the bottom OF the
bottle. The Chesapeake steamed %
miles before the last OF the claret color
ed water was passed through.

A Commendable Example.

the Charleston and Western Carolina
railroad, and promptly after the facts

ed a note from superintendent A. W.
Anderson briefly and accurately setting
out the facts and circumstances of the
accident; stating that he knew the re-
porters would get SUCH information as
they could from different sources, and
h a he preferred frankly to give the
newspaper the facts.

praiseworthy that we cannot f1rego the
