The Fatal Wedding.

Theodore kremer's Twentieth Cen

refuge in the lower East side of Great
cr New York. Their one child. 'Jes-
Sie," IS known as 1.-The Little Mother
She is the main support of the family
ana the center of attraction at all
times. She finally is instrumental in
reuniting her unhappy parents, in the
rick of time. at the foot of the church
altar. The scene in Grace church, il
Illuminated at night for the wedding
ceremony, is extremely realistic. An
ether wonderful scene is the snow
storm on the heights Of the Jersey
Palisades, wonderfully executed

Comedy Company Coming.

Harvey and Gage Big Comedy Com
pany including the dainty little SOU
brette Maisie Cecil will appear at the
Opera House, next Friday and Satur-
day with usual matinees. The mere
announcement of the coming of this
popular company is sufficient to pack
any ordinary theatre to the doors, but
when the announcement is coupled
with the fact that on this trip an en-
tirely new line of plays, specialties and
novel effects are to be seen, gives in
creased assurance to the predictions.
At the Friday matinee Hearts of the
Blue Ridge will receive a complete
production with all the necessary en-
belishments. handsome costumes and
full line of clever vaudeville per-
formances. including Mr.. Gordon
Thomas in illustrated songs. Ladies'
tickets will be issued for Friday night
and are limited to only three hundred.

"You are fined $50 additional for

Smith did not have this amount he

Every now and then some one will
think there is splendid opening to

Such men first think Of preparing
something that looks and tastes like

how the grains should be treated to
prepare them so that the starchy part

Such limitations may be foisted on
the public for short time. but the
people are critical and soon detect the
