Seo the favOTites, Murray and Mack tonight, iE the second and latest edi tion Of their latest laughing vehicle A Night on Broadway" and be convinc- ed that there is a musical comedy that is different from the myriad that are bidding for popular favor.
 "A night on Broadway" tells a laughable story :n a unique way. em bsllished by a large chorus of pretty girls, and special and massive sets for every act of this gorgeous production.
 The cast comprises fifty people, mum bering as leaders, the inimitable Mur- ray and Mack, who have. the happy distinction of being titled the "creatocs of the laughing habit"
 The book was written by Wm. Skin ner; the lyrics by Edwar(i Campbell and the music by Morton Kerker. The names ot these well known contrib utors to the musical world. is a suffi- clent guarantee that what has been written is pretty. catchy. tUneful and well worth hearing and, h this in stance, worth hearing twice; for these gentlemen have achieved notable success
 John Doe" which is played by Mir Murray, is an arrant coward and boaster, who feels that he is necessary to the existence Cf the place and the in- habitants thereof Just how necessary he really Is, is explained during the three acts.
 "Richard Roe" is a serious man on an important mission-from his own point of view. However. his serious ness is put to rout by a pretty face and a coquettish alr
 There is something for everybody to do every moment of the play; and ev- eryiody is necessary to the completion of the story and the pictures. The en- tire cast, which numbers fifty people has been selected with the view of in dividual fitness nd collective strength The management has spared nsither time, money or labor, in the perfectinE of the comedy, ard 1t Is safe 10 say that seven-tenths of those who come to see the piece once, come again-tle ether three-ffths do not dare trust themselves again in the same week.

"Hurrah for Mis- sOUri." The writer says that he is a Missourian and is glad that the state society has been kept alive. He says that the happiest moments of his life were spent at Sedalia.

 WILL NOT BE CoMFoRTED.-Dr J. l.. Hamilton mourns the death of his dog Sport and will not be comforted. It was the finest bird dog in the world, according to Dr. Hamilton, and was given to him several months ago by till he should be called for. The doc tor says that not long ago the dog was hunting with a party of local nimrods and in retrieving a duck he got caught in the quicksand and mud. He could not eXtricate himself and there was no boat or board near by with which the hunters could reaca him. As he was hopelessly sinking be- meath the wave, rather than see him choke the hunters put him out of mis- cry with their weapons. The doctor

was inconsolable but he had to admit it could not be helped. As if to add to his grief he got a message yesterday from the former owner instructing him to turn the dog over to party named who would bring him to the fireside of his puppyhood. But it was the letter that came too late.
 A HANDSOME PIcTURE-Yester- day Dr. Duffeld received an oil paint ing of his wife. the late Margaret Duff field. from one of the best portrait painters of New York. The port. a.. is so stril1ingly perfect that, in q slightly darkened room, one can easily believe he is in a living, breathing presence It was made from "sepia portrait made by Brand. d well known artist of Chicago. The Brand portrait was made from photograph by Hart we'll of Phoenix, after MT. Brand hal inspected photographs of Mrs. Duffieli by several photographers in Chicago, taken prior to the bginning of her ill- ness, as well as some taken three years ago when Dr. and Mrs. Duffield were in Chicago. After a careful inspection Mir. Brand decided that Frank Hart wells picture was by Tar the best and used 1t for his work. Subsequently Dr. Duffield decided to try to get an oil painting that would be satisfactory though he was more than pleased with MT. Brands work. The result has been far beyond expectation. Unfortu- nately the oil portrait Was slightly damaged il shipment anC will be re- turned to New York for repairs. It will probably be returned in four or five weeks The. ''sepia" which is a re- markedly perfect work is in pr. Duff fields private office.

Cummings was found guilty and sentenced to forty-seven appIica- tions of the "cob," which as has heen explained in these columns. is a long section of leather tug. The "cob'' was administered with vigor amid the screams of Cummings. who long before the forty-seven stripes had been laid on. promised to be good Even then justice was not satisfied but the arm cf the eXecutioner was tired and Cum mings was promised 100 more stripes the next morning. It was the opinion of the court that the neighborhood ought not to he awakened by the screams of the delinquent.
 The rest of the sentence was probably carried out, for when Cummings was brought into court he was unable to sit squarely on his chair Tn view of the punishment alreaGy received, Justice Burnett let him off with a sentence of seven days in the county jail Fran cisco Moreno was also in court. He was arrested in the first place for the theft of clock from H. Verdusco. living in the southern part of the city. He re- sisted Constable Redwine so vigorous ly that the officer had to knock him down four times with a billy and then call three men to assist him in taking 1he prisoner to the jail.
 On the way he kicked out the win dOws of a cab. inflicting damage to the amount of not less than S1O.
 For the theft of the clock he was given thirty days in the county jail and for the rest of the offense, ten days.
