of witnessing this attraction. This
afternoon and tonight
After seeing the earl of Paw
tucket,' there are probably a good
many people who will think that Au-
gustus Thomas has wasted his time
heretofore in writing such plays as
Arizona, meritable as they undoubt-
eddy were in many particulars.
The earl with his accent and his
troubles was at the Lyceum theatre
last night and 1t is a matter Of con
graduation that there will be two
more performances today, for there
are really great many people in the
city who will enjoy this play to the
utmost. A good many Of them were
present last evening and they enjoy
ed it immensely In fact. it would
be hard to name a single instance
where an audience has been so uni
formly pleased, and nothing but ia
vorable words were heard in the foy-
er between acts or when the people
were leaving the house It is a pref
ty good sign when the old-timers,
the regulars, indorse a performance
between whiffs of a cigarette and
very often we think they should,
when they do not.
But to return to the Earl.
There are times when a perform
ance i'll every respect is satisfying;
in the dialogue, in the plot, in the
acting and In the stage setting and
accessories. Those who saw John
Hare in "The Gay Lord Quex" will
remember this sensation. Tt is en-
ough to say hat it was duplicated
last nioht This may seem extrava-
on. 1t IS an individual opinion
but the audience in a way indorsed
/ Il and the times when the critic and
the audience are in entire accord are
50 seldom that it is a pleasure to
register the fact.
- The Earl Of Pawtucketo is the
best thing Thomas ever wrote. or not
to be ambiguous, the best comedy he
ever wrote: and he is the best writer
OF comedy in America without an ex-
ceptlon. Again extravaganza NAV
be chan@ed, as this is equivalent to
saying that the Earl Of Pawtuck-
ct IS about the best comedy ever
written by an American author. But
really it strikes the present writer
in that light From the most sinner
fetal point of view, there is nothing
to complain of in the piece. Not a
dull moment can be found. the tech
nIque IS naturalness itself and to
enumerate all the good points would
be to dwell minutelv on each sepa-
rate scene and line. IT is a remarka-
/ bly, clean. amusing and witty nlav.
one that is a pleasure to praise and
an even greater pleasure to witness
1t does not, to be sure, sparkle with
the Pickering wit of Wilde, but it
has not the labored effects of his
stuff; 1t does not glorify the socie-
ty woman as the plays Of Fitch nor
satirize them nor bring them into i'm
possible situations. There seems TO
be more Of the quality of Pinero in
this piece, but with difference

The Kids Are Coming.

The absurd doings of the "Katzen-
TANNER Kids" who will be seen with
Blondell and Fennessy's great must
cal farce comedy that is to appear
at the Gennett theater Thursday
evening, February 18th, will, no
doubt, be a most enjoyable enter
tainment, if all is true that has been
said about it through the press of
the country, and there should be no
reasonable doubt. IS this is the fifth
successful season for this organiza
ton on the road, which is evidence
enough that it is all what it IS
claimed to be-a musical farce COM
edy, pure and simple, with plenty of
specialties, up-to-date musical num-
bers, electrical and mechanical eff
fects and a GLORIOUS of twenty well
trained voices.

The question has often been asked
as to what it is that makes the min
strel form Of entertainment appeal
so strongly to all classes Of theater-
goers and has established it as the
most popular of all indoor classes Of
amusement and recreation. Perhaps
the answer IS not so hard to give.
May the principal reason not lie in
the fact that the entire absence of
any feature presented being void of
any faint Of sombreness, mournful-
ness and gruesomeness, as well as the
vulgarity and suggestive risqueness
so often seen and heard in many
other forms Of entertainment?
Nothing is witnessed in a reputable
up-to-date minstrel performance but
what appeals to the eye, ear and
fancy. Fun, frolic and fantasy
mirth, music and mimicry are the
component parts of first class min
strel performance. The time spent
in witnessing one of these popular
entertainments is better investment
for health and happiness than could
be acquired in the money and time
given for a half dozen visits from
/ the doctor or a barrel of medicine.
! The eye is pleased at the sight of
the merry faces, the rich costumes,
| the elegant furnishings and the Ella
borate appointments Of the first part.

edians Laughter, wonder and sur
prise follow in quick succession in
Witnessing the manv Individual spec
ialties and collective features pre-
sented by the different artists com
prising the membership Of first
class company.
No wonder then that the general
public continue to throng in num-
/ bers to witness this popular form of
amusement and that interest in it
never seems to wane, but always APP
pears to be on the increase, providing
only that the public knows that it is
going to see the best. This latter
requisite and demand of the public
is fully appreciated by Mr.. Sanford

fenced manager of the famous West
minstrels Mr. Ricaby has, in the

Company Will Be Known as United
States Militia

Target practice was held Thursday
night by Co. A of the state militia. 1t was
expected that special gallery ammunition
would have been here by that time, but
as it failed to arrive the time was de-
voted to pistol practice.
This company has the best rife shot
record of any in the state, and they are
preparing for some good work this sea-
son. on May u they will begin their
outdoor target practice, on the California
section, in order to prepare for the nation
al contest in the fall, which will probably
be held at Chicago. There will be IS
contestants from Kansas. and the record
of Co. \ will probably entitle them to
good majority Of the number.
The company will hereafter be recog-
nized as the United States militia, instead
of the state militia owing 10 the prOvis-
ions of the Dick bill, which takes the or
ganzation from under the power of the
governor of the state and places 1t under

Plans are being made and the work OF
excavating has begun for the erection OF
a modern three-story brick building TO
be situated on the fifty feet OF ground
immediately adjoining the Hotel Carey
on the west. The builders are Jacob and
Fred Bissantz.
The new structure will be three stories
in height for the present but so con-
structed that two more may be added
whenever desired. The second and third

been leased by B. l.. Eaton, proprietor OF
the Hotel Carey. and will be partitioned

Quoted in connection with that hosiery.

alley in the rear. There Will be six large
rooms on each Of the two top
floors with a large court to per
init ventilation and light. The

be divided into two or three store rooms.

shacks from Douglas avenue. The ten
ants have already been given notice to
move and are expected to he off the
grounds within a few days. Then will the
work of excavating for the new structure
begin in earnest.
The present buildings now occupying
the grounds are a small fruit stand,
shooting gallery and a secondhand cloth
ing store. When these changes are made
