EMPIRE THEATER.

Manager David M. Hartford re- turned from New York this morning with arrangements completed for a carload of scenic effects which will be here tomorrow. The whole town is talking about the new Empire theater and the coming stock produc- tions. Incidentally thousands of young folks are looking for the mys- terious MT Pike of the Empire thea ter, who is about the city carrying in an inside pocket an envelope which contains a pass good for two season tickets for the stock produc tions here. All that is necessary to secure these season tickets is to say to the right person, Are you Mir Pike from the Empire tlieater?" If he is the right party he will hand the envelope to you. Rehearsals for "Old Heidelberg" are going on from early morning until late at night and there will positively be no disap- pointment in the opening of the new playhouse on time next Monday evening, when a large audience will doubtless greet the new stock com- pany.
