New Lyceum Reopens Tomorrow.

The Kentucky Bellies will be the at
traction at the reopening Of the New
Lyceum Theater, commencing with to-
morrow's matinee.
The company presents new and up-to-
date musical comedy in two acts, entitled
1.-The Hoodlum's Holiday" The piece is
by j. Grant Gibson, who has written into
it fifteen original musical numbers said
to possess the correct rhythm and jingle
to make them popular. The stellar role
of Gen. Boom. who has been compelled
to turn thief in order to save his fast
dwindling resources, is in the hands OF
Jim Diamond, the leading comedian. Mr.
Diamond is said to be funmaker OF
recognized ability and has been surround
ed with a cast of fifty people. including
O'Malley and Golden. j. Grant Gibson,
Miss Adele Ranney, the two Meirose
brothers and Dave and Percle Martin.
There is a chorus of thirty pretty girls,
who can sing and dance. and who con-
tribute to the success OF the show.
The scenic adornment and electrical ef-
fects. it is understood. are out OF the or
binary, while the humor. and situations
are clean cut. bristling and wholesome.
The production on the whole is claimed to
be a notch or two higher than is usually
found in so-called musical comedies.

Mischief Done by Gulls.

From Country Life.
That many of the gulls have become far
too numerous during the last fifteen or
twenty years. thanks to coddling and
overmuch protection, has become a patent
fact to those who observe and understand
the habits Of these birds. Here and there
measures are being taken to lessen the
plague. and by some of the few county
councils the protection once accorded has
been withdrawn.
Gulls are responsible for an enormous
destruction of fish. as we'll as raids on the
eggs and young of various birds. In many
parts of Scotland the lesser black-backed
gulls have become the veriest vermin, in
this respect rivaling the hooded crow and
common rock, the latter another recent
development of unwise overpreservation.
