PR|NGLES CLOSE
 GOOD ENGAGEMENT
Company Sets New Record in Way of Attendance and First
 First Class Performances,

The Della Pringle stock company closed an extended engagement at the Dreamland theater last night with a repetition of "The Parish Priest'' to a house that was large and appreciative as those of other nights "The Parish Priest" is the strongest play in the repertoire of the company and it is exceptionally we'll handled. Mr. Hogan in the role made famous by Daniel Sully, was at his best last night and seldom has there been a better piece of talent seen on q local stage. In the comedy part MT. Kelly made his usual hit and the other parts were equally well taken.
 The company gave two performances on Christmas to record houses, that of the afternoon, when the "Chorus GirlH was repeated to the largest matinee crowd in the history of the house, and the evening performance to house that was even larger than that of last Saturday night, which had the record for four days only. The play Christmas night was "The Outcast. 7" which, al though it had been played here before, was entirely pleasing to the large crowd. "lSS IIlhSIe ds the Dllnu RlrI was splendid. as was Miss Mcconnell as the "villainess, but the real hOnors were carried off by Grace Hamilton as Aunt Dinah and John T. Hopkins as Ezekial Morse, the murderous miser. who killed or tried to kill one or two in each act. MT. Hopkins work was very clever and his efforts were well applauded.
 General regret is felt by Globe the atergoers at the departure of the Pringles. They are as clever a bunch of stage people as ever came to Globe with "rep' company and they made many friends while here. This morning they will leave for Phoenix, where Miss Pringle has leased the Olympic theater for stock performances.

NEITHER DEAD, NOR SLEEPING

According to new arrivals in the town, Globe is the worst knocked city in Arizona. All over the territory the hammers are being worn ont on Globe and anvil choruses have been organ ized to chant of its fall. People who were intending to come to Globe have been told that the town was on the hummer, at the bottom of the t0bog' gan slide, at the ground connection of the greased pole; that it was deader than the Populist party, fatter than Taft's boom, ant that there was no more left of it than of the rose of last June. Tucked like a flower in tis prime. Globe went down like the late -lamented Mir. McGinty, and would never. more return. It's So sad tco, just as Globe was becoming one of the leading cities of the Southwest.
 In the face of all this, it takes a brave man to continue his trip to Globe and when he gets here, he is invariably surprised to see the large spark of life which remains in the corpse. His first thought is that if Globe is really a dead one, it $ the nose exceedingly real ;stic ana vivid imitation of the livest .:iping he has ever laid eyes on.
