Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

Special interest attaches to the ap- pearance Of Pat Rooney at the head of next weeks bill at the Jacques from the fact that he is now supported by the pretty Marion Bent. whom he married so rOmantically last season in Boston on the day following the close of his engagement here. Young Rooney, it will be recalled. went to Boston on tha midnight train. was married in that city at 9 o'clock Sun day morning and at 10 was on his way to Pittsburg to open at the Mon day matnee.' Al the beginning ,ef the present sc:ison he was joined by Miss Bent. who replaced Emma Francis as his dancing partner. and the two have since been giving one of the most pro nOunced successes of the vaudeville stage. So great has been their tri- umph, in fact. that lending firm of theatrical producers in New York is arranging to put them out at the head of their own company in a musical comedy next season. Miss Bent has brought to the act an mcOminonly beautiful face. a sweet and engaging personality, a dainty gift for comedy and a pair of the nimblest feet that ever battered in time with the nimble Pats. The two have played the va rious houses of the Poli circuit. mak
 ing marked personal triumph and recalling the big hit that Rooney made when he appeared here as a leading feature of ''rhe Rogers Broth CTS at Harvard As d special feature Manager roli presents Howard Trues- dell and company in an amusing O. mcdietta entitled Aunt Louisa's Ad- vice. one of the brightest playiets TOW l,aing offered in vaudeville. The lines deal with a jealous wife who en- teavors to get rid of her husbands gentleman friend and visitor by mak- ing believe to love him. in her hopa to drive him away and let her nave chubby" herself. The friend tumhles to the game and in return makes love to her in such q manner that she real izes her mistake and when the hus- band appears hr makes all kinds Gf Il r,,mpus over having heard his fr'ehds ,lecIaration Of love to his wife. The letter from Aunt Louisa is finally pro- ,,uc-l and all ends serenely. Quite q notable featur' Of the program VIII be the appear,ncr of r. F. Cummings. the famous gun spinner and equilib- rist. who formerly lived in this city and who has been featured for several years with Hi Henry's minstrels. NIT Cummings has sensational turn which has attracted much attention and because of his former residence here he win undoubtedly prove a very fine attraction.

 "A very fine animal that is,' said MT. Payson, stroking Dicks back very fine. I really did not observe that he had such a very intelligent face" ..+-

 He must be heavy; let me carry him home for yon'" said Mir. Payson.
 ''Oh, mo-" said Miss Parker; "I really couldn't think of it. You will take cold in your wet-wet--clothes."
 But Mr. Payson laughed at the idea of wet pantaloons, and walked home with Miss Parker. though Dick wrig- gled out of his hands at once. and trotted behind with very self-satis- fled air. as if thoroughly conscious that he had brought it all about.
 Of course. you know that MT. Payson married Miss Parker, else I should never have written this story, and Dick is fondly cherished by them both as the means of their present connu- bial bliss.-N. Y. Weekly.

 But Parksbury had only three eligi- ble men within it's precincts. Peter Hooper. who had only one eye. and was doubled up like jackknife with the rheumatism. stood first on the list. Peter was a widower. and the first Mrs. Hooper had never done anything fin all her life that pleased him until the day she bade him farewell and en- joined it upon him to put a silver plate on her coffin. and be sure and have a notice of her death in the Parksbury Chronicle. stating that she was a good wife. and was much lamented by all her heart-broken friends. and had been an advance paying subscriber to the Chronicle for more than % years.
 Peters faith in woman was not very deep. and there seemed little likeli- hood that there would ever be a sec ond Mira Hooper.
 The second eligible man was nomas Dunbar. and Thomas stuttered go bad ly that he had never been able to pro- pose to any lady. He had made sev- eral attempts to do so. but had never succeeded in getting through with the fob in one day. end the next day his courage would be gone. and 90 he had never been made happy.

"BEN-HUR."
In Second Form It Explained That
 Mrs Wallace Was Alive.

Mrs Wallace Was Alive.
 The dedication of "BeD-Hu got Gen Lew Wallace into trouble. When he was writing the book he told his wife that he expected to dedicate 1t to her, and that she must furnish the dedication. She wrote the following, which appears in the first edition of the work: "To the wife of my youth"
 The book leaped into the public fla vor at once. The usual penalties of greatness followed. Gen Wallace be- gan to get hundreds of letters from people who had read the book. Among them were scores from women who supposed that the dedication meant that ''tlra wife of his youth was dead.
 They sympathzed with him in the fact that Mrs Wallace was not alive to share his fame. and more than one of them hinted that she could be in- duced to help him to overlook his loss. These letters annoyed Gen Wallace. When it came time to prepare sec Ond edition ha thought of how he could put d stop to the matrimonial offers.
 You got me into this musS.' he t>ld Mrs Wallace. You must get me out
 She was willing. and after some thought suggested the addition of :, flaw words to the original dedication. and in all future editions it appears as follows:
 "TO the wife of my youth who still ahides with me"
 So it is that lovers of rare books have added this odd first edition to their collection. The book went into many editions after the first. and it is seldom that one of the first is found If it has the dedication as first print cd above. thc collector may be sure that it is q first edition. Alexander Hill of Cincinnati has one of the first editions with a fyleaf of later edi. ton bound in. showing the two styles of dedication.

 Their capture was effected owing to the confession of one of their number. The witnesses called to testify number 160. and the trial is expected to last a fortnight.

One of the most popular melodra- matic attractions of the present day is the interesting play, ''The Village Parson." which will be seen at Poli's Monday evening. The piece has scored hit wherever produced and its success has been achieved long ago. The play deals with the affec- tions of the heart. and is one wherein human emotions and pathos are strongly depicted. An excellent con- paily has been engaged with reference to the parts assigned. and it is be- lieved that the piece is rendered in much better style than is usual with travelling companies.
