1.-TWO Little waffsv at Park.

Lincoln j. Carters 1.-TWO Little Waits
a melcdrama that has pleased crowded
houses at the Park before, opened a three
days engagement at that theater yester-
day. The house was crowded at both per-
formances One of the principal features
of the performance Is the acting of the two
Lamb children who have the title role
From the start they ELECTED an intense
sympathy from the audience by their in
telligent conduct. The story is one of
double dealing, heart-breakings, adversely
and final happiness. 1t takes five acts to
put all the characters through their parts
and these five acts are made abundantly
pleasing by scenic effects that are truly
Carterian. There are moving clouds,
rising moon, lawn fete and a Christmas
play.
The waits are the children of Wayne
Fleming, who has been mistaken as TO his
wife's dutifulness through the machina-
tions of Lyman Pendeville, whom A. G.
Edwards made a splendid william. Joseph
w. Walsh as Wayne Fleming was unus-
ually effective and Della Morton as Nell
his wife, played the double role of
wronged wife and the twin sister that
wrought her ruin for love of Pendeville
meet with full sympathy of the audience
James It. McElherne as Richard III, Edna
Reming as Pinkie and Francis Pierlot as
officer Flanagan, have much to do in fur
nishing the comedy element, and their eff
forts gained abundant applause. 1.-The
Two Little Waits is wholesome, full ,of
action and it's scenes are intelligentIy and
handsomely made. 1t will give perform

OLD MAN SAT ON The CURB
HE WAS so WEARY HE COULD NOT
PROCEED FURTHER.
Thomas Leddey, a Peddlar Of st. Joe
Mich, Will Have to Answer
Charge of Vagrancy.

An old man sat on a curbstone in front
of South Illinois-street store yesterday
afternoon. His clothing was in rags, his
shoes so worn that the soles had parted
from the uppers and were gaping like
the jaws Of a small animal. His head was
bowed in his arms. and his attitude was
one of extreme detection. From a battered
hat white hair escaped and fell over the
old face. Newsboys in whom there is rev.
erence neither for the aged nor inf1rm,
danced on the corner and wiggled soiled
fingers at the mournful figure.
Wonder where the old guy got his load?"
they asked themselves, with other queries
bearing on intoxication in advanced stages.
One or two, with a certain Righteousness,
proffered papers and were not quieted by
the silence that met them. Two bicycle pa
trolmen came around a corner. riding slow
ly. They dismounted and went up to the
bowed figure. Morgan shook him gently
and Simon raised him from the sidewalk.
The newsboys. in an interested group un-
der an awning. held their breath and
awaited further Developments which past
experience told them meant the calling of
the police station and the rapid approach
missed, even when trade was good.
Here, what's the natter" said Simon.
Are you sick? Have you been hurt?
The queer figure straightened itself and
a quavering voice told the bike men a
story. He was not drunk--that was plain.
but it was also plain that he was sick and
very weary. He was from st. Joe, Mich.
he said, and was a peddler. He was tired.
so tired that he could not walk farther
or even stand and there was no place to go.
He had rested on the curb and had fallen
asleep, even while the rush Of feet was
passing around him. He told the patrol
men that he was seventy-eight years old,
and he looked older-a man already in the
shadows. His name, he said was Thomas
Leddey.
The patrol wagon came, and the newsboys
watched with their eyes big with surprise
the two bikemen help the old man carefully
into the wagon. Cops" they knew from
the wealth Of vast experience, were not
wont to be so tender with waits of any age,
and they marveled. At the station he was
locked up because there was nothing else
to do with him. charge of vagrancy
was placed opposite his name.

THE THEATERS.
Vaudeville mt the Grand.

A new season of vaudeville opened at
the Grand Opera House yesterday. and
there were two big. good humored audi
ences. The Russell brothers return to this
city after several years absence to be the
principal entertainers this week. THE
Irish Chambermaids'' used TO fling their
rough repartee at their audiences from a
stage set as a bed room. Their talk was
strung together incoherently. One told the
other about her experiences at a party,
describing in detail how. when she con-
sented to sing, someone cut the chandelier
down on her. Now, the Russells have
short farce. written for them by George
Cohan, and have two assistants in the
acting OF it, John impersonates Maggie
Mooney, servant 10 Mrs. Olive BankroH
and James is Rosie O'Grady, who works
for the family living next door TO the
Bankrolls. Maggie and Rosie clash des-
perately over the love OF a policeman. and
Rosie invades the Bankroll mansion TO get
the Deau, VINO, she Is informed, Is being
entertained there. Mrs Bankroll mistakes
Rosie for woman who has a claim on her
husband, but the fun does not come out OF
this farcial complication IL comes as liz
always does when the Russells are active
from their burlesquing OF the young Irish
woman-of-all-work. The colors OF their
clothes scream dlscordantly, they strut,
they take insult easily, nay each other with
bowery language and each is firm in the be-
lief that she Is a lady The farce which
Is called "A Romance of New Jersey" IS
full OF laughter for the free minded.
The good music OF the bill is given by the
Lowe-Hughes trio. Two men and a woman
open the act conventionally with silver
bells. improve IL on metallOphone and cop
per-bronze gongs, and wind up triumphant
~ on xylophones. They mix good and
commonplace music effectively; use all the
resources OF their instruments and win sew
eral encores- Not the least OF their merits
Is that they go about their business quietly;
they attempt no comedy"
Green and Werner have an act that they
call Babies In the Woods" good idea
Is poorly developed. and the effect OF bad
stage management is almost pathetic The
scene Is an African jungle, and a man and
woman, as Zulus. sing a song that is
american but might We'll be taken for Zulu

Albert SchoonOver Not Ready to Make
Political Predictions.

Albert Schoonover, a modest young man
who was put on the Democratic state ticket
to make the race against Daniel E. Storms
for the office of secretary of state, was at
the Grand Hotel last night Mr.. Schoono-
yer lives at Attica. He was on his way to
the Eighth district to look after his in
terests in that locality. Mr.. Schoonover is
exceedingly modest and does not claim that
the State will be Democratic by a great

DEAR Mr.. EDIToR:-I wish to say few
words concerning the temperance question
through your paper. 1t does my very heart
good to see the good people awakening to
the idea OF trying to drive intemperance
from our land. II is IL the grasp OF our
Christian people to drive IL from our midst If
they would just come together and MAKE a
sta nd against II. 1t would then have 10 go.
T believe. sir, God will hold this Christian
nation responsible for tolerating this curse
In our land. / hope, sir. your good town will
ever be free from the saloon. | think every
good Citizen whether he Is a Christian or not
knows and sees IL is great curse in our land.
am not ashamed 10 let the people know
where / stand. May God give His people
grace and strength TO come out boldly and
say the saloon must go. II makes my heart
sad to see SO many OF our young men and
boys falling into the habit OF drinking. and
II they ever form this habit IL is so hard for
them to reform. Thousands of them never
reform, but go dowh 10 the drunkard' grave
In disgrace, bringing sorrow upon their loved
ones. some will argue that II we had not the
saloon they would get IL any way. But, sir,
when the saloon is put aside. the temptation
Is nothing like So great. II we can keep our
boys and young men away from Its influence
until they are %. they are not apt to form the
habit, because they have better sense. So
may you, through your paper, do great good
along this line. T.. T.. ID.
