preservation, although some do not give
the seed IA good treatment as they
might easily do, snys Z. T.. Hartley, Of

"A Venetian Romance since it was presented here last month by the Frank L. Perley Opera company has been entirely rewritten. The plot, sit nations. dialogue and characters are all new. All that remains to remind one os the piece. as seen here, is the title and the splendid scenery and cos tunes. The music, too, has been tuned up and many new and jingling airs in- troduced. The plot is now reported to be strong. continuous and consistent, and to bristle with bright comedy lines and situations. Mrs. Tyler's original idea O. a romantic story has been en- tirely abandoned and "A Venetian Ro- nance" is now a comic opera in the sul sense of the term. The characters have been so completely changed that almost a new set of principals are now playing the parts. The authors faith in the success of her fresh work is so great. backed by the judgment of her manager, Frank L. Perley, a veteran in these matters. that Mrs. Tyler has in- sisted on a return engagement in this city, which will take place at the Hy- oerion next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

RAN OVER A BOY.

Charles O'Brien Badly Shaken Up in
 Accident.
 Columbus avenue near Arch street was the scene of much excitement last night shortly after 6 o'clock, when the street was crowded with men and wo- men returning from work. All the ex- lcitement was caused by the fact that Thomas Cronan, a Tyler street farmer, while driving out Columbus avenue ran over Charles O'Brien, the ten-year-old son of c. O'Brien, a conductor on the Consolidated road, who resides at 245 Washington avenue, and drove on without trying to learn the extent of young O'Brien's injury. After driving down the street some distance he re- |turned to the scene of the accident. O'Brien was taken into a nearby |store and pr. Lamb was summoned. After finding that the boy had been badly shaken up and had a bad cut on |his jaw he ordered him taken to his home.
 Cronan was allowed to go after giv- ling his name and address and promis- ling to pay the doctors bills.

 The Five Society Bellies are the lead- ing act of the bill this week, and they secure a majority Of the applause be- slowed by the patrons. Their act is in- deed the swellest in vaudeville and they make decidedly handsome ap- pearance. The songs they have are all so coming in for commendation on the part of the patrons, and they are being whistled about town. Among the tune slI gems is one entitled "On a Good Old Trolley Ride" This was written by Joseph C. Farrell with music by Pat Rooney. The chorus is very catchy and strikes popularity immediately. It runs as follows:
 When speeding along on the trolley,
 seel like big millionaire.
 A ride on the trolley is jolly,
 Whatever you give up is fare. The trolley's a hummer in summer,
 If you've got girl at your side, To teaze in the breeze, while you're
 stealing sequeeze,
 On good old five cent trolley ride.
 Variety is found on the balance of the bill. which is supplied by Water bury brothers and Tenny in "A Cold Day in June;" the Juggling McBans, with their sensational juggling; Geor- gie O'Ramey, with songs; Colby and Way, as ventriloquist and dancing doll; Sullivan and Pasquelena, with News boys Appeal" and the electrograph, with motion picturaes, closes the bill.
