LEADING SINS OF SOCIETY.


What are these stories we hear about
the spread Of an uncomfortable passion
for gambling? Is it possible that there
are leaders of society in all the chief cities
Of the country who lend their countenance
to forms of amusements that are against
the very law of the land? What avails
crusades in our leading cities against pool
rooms and policy shops, il behind doors
which no detective ventures to pass such
things as these go on? In our modern
society there is need of the spirit of Gis-

Mr.. William Owen and large com
pany including j. w. Mcconnell will be
seen at Van Werden's opera house on
Saturday; September 81, in superb
production of the famous English COM
edy, 1.-The School For Scandal" Since
its first production in l777 the comedy
has been recognized as the most brilliant
ever written and each succeeding season
has demanded a revival of it. A comedy y
that can live over hundred years and
still be in demand is like good wine
it needs no brush, There is something
in its very title that is suggestive Of
spicy wit, stinging satire and amusing
situations.
Its gorgeously costumed danes and
proud gallants of another than the
times we are in, form a pleasing eye
feast which is accentuated by the gor
geous scenery, furniture and draperiet
of the sixteenth century period in which
the comedy transpires.
