THE cHo1R cELEsr1AL.

Interest at the Jacques this week centers primarily and principally in Miss Gertrude Haynes and her choir celestial, and scores of persons have gone to see the pretty act who are or dinarily drawn to vaudeville perform, ances. It is such a novelty to see an act with sacred surroundings on the vaudeville stage, and the act itself is so beautifully carried out in it's solemni- ty and picturesque grandeur that peo- pie are attracted to it almost invoIun- tarily. ne surpliced choir of twenty voices, led by Miss Haynes and Master Robbie Duff, introduce some beautiful singing. and the picturesque cathedral exterior and interior invest everything with realism that is positively charm ing. It is an act that ought to crowd the Jacques at every performance, and : it is gratifying to know mat it is at tracing quite a liberal attendance. Lady Africa" which introduces ten scolored stars in characteristic coon comedy, is another-rare novelty which tends to give superiority to this week s show. Other fine acts are introduced by Marion and Vedder, Al Lawrence, the three A1illettes, Kniffer and Dia- mond, Lynn Welcher and Smith and Brennan. Prices are 10 and 20 cents afternoons, ladies 10; evening prices, 70, 20 and 30 cents.

At the signal for prayers the cat would even leave mouse half caught, or give a doomed bird longer lease of life, and decorously compose herself in the lap of the housekeeper, with an air of attention to the service that was highly edifying. At the final s'amen'' she went briskly about her business.
 But in an evil day there came kit ten that was deemed superfuous, and the sentence of death was pronounced upon it. The head of the family un- dertook the execution of the sentence, and, unknown to him, the old eat was a witness of the scene.
 From that day the eat refused to attend the prayer service, and cannot be induced to listen to the prayers of one who had so shocked her sensibili- ties. She faithfully performs all other duties as before. and socially purrs for the family on ali secular occasions but rigidly draws the line at family prayers
