Smith and his 'Office Boy"
 No audience that has assembled in the Montgomery Theatre this season or any other season, had more fun or demonstrated greater approval of an actor than the one which manifested its enthusiasm every time Mir. Daniels was on the stage. Montgomery knows MT. Daniels of old and 1t was his per sonality' that drew the audience. De- mand was made for a repetition of ev- erything he did. Indeed, his admirers at certain stages of the entertainment marred the pleasure os others by their irsistency. And Mr. Daniels was ac- commodating. He repeated his songs, his dances, his funnyisms until the au- dience was satisfied. Then the play was permitted to progress.
 There is no use trying to define the irresistible methods of MT. Daniels. He Is in a class by himself as . come dian and no one Is cheated who pays his money to laugh at him and with him..
 Miss Fisher has not been accorded the fame to which. her rich voice enti- ties her. She is a sprightly young wo- man. with fresh face and most fetch- ing manners. It was good judgment that assigned the principal vocal num- bers to her. and she delighted those of her audience who appreciate cul- tured music, expressed understanding ly.
 Her singing of Because He Told Me So." If I Were the Bride of Sol- dier." and "A Maiden's Heart" were exquisite. and she was supported in fine style by the large and we'll trained chorus.
 Miss Jerome helped along with the singing, but she will be remembered chiefly for her nimble and graceful dances and the stunning costumes she wore.
 The two stage settings. the law ofice O. Ketcham and Cheatham, and Van Twf1lers residence and race course. were neat and attractive bits of stagecraft, and the costuming of the play was handsome.
 It was noteworthy, too. that Propri- etor c. B. Dillingham; has surrounded MT. Daniels with 6 large company of prepossessing players, men and women, and a music director. Mir. Hyde, who knows how to secure the best results.

ways of the Irish Jarvey.

A good story, which illustrates the
absolute genius with which an Irish
jarvey extracts money from his vic
Tins, is told in an English journal. \
commercial traveller wanted to take Il

rapacity of the average jarvey, insisted
on knowing the exact fare before get
ting Oh the car. The following dia-
logue ensued:
Commercial Traveller - What's the
fare to c.. jarvey?
Jarvey-Aci, that's alroight, sorr.
Just get on.
Commercial Traveller Now, look
here, what's the fare to C.?
Jarvey-Shure, it's alroight, sorr,
Just jump up.
Commercial Traveler-I insist on
knowing the fare before l get on.
Jarvey-Bedad, SORT, I'm that hard
up I'll drive you for nothing at all,

ton he was mulcted of an amount
much larger than the legitimate fare.
