The State of Pennsylvania will re.
move its official protection from the
great American eagle if bill in con-
templation and having the backing oi
the State Game Commission becomes q
law. Now the eagle is protected and
there is a fine of $50 for each and every
eagle killed. The State game officials
take the ground that the eagle is bird
of prey and does more damage thar
good. 1t has been ascertained that the
United States Government does not pro,
tect the eagle, and the plan is to make
it legitimate game. But on second
thought, why exterminate the great
American bird which is so hard to find
even now after years of protection

thing but great pleasure to announce
the coming of Fanny Rice and her com
pany to the Lyric, New Years Day, Fri
day, Jan. lst. Miss Rice for Ions
time has given her talent rather too ex
clusively to the big cities, but theatr,
patrons who have once seen her hold il
pleasant memory the ladys fine work
being one of the most versatile come
diennes of the stage to-day. Miss Rice
is at home in opera, comedy or drama
in hoydenish or pathetic scenes. Th
play for the coming engagement is call
ed "a Day OFF, taken from the German
and has proved a pronounced success
The leading character, Nancy Patch
played by Miss Rice is broad in comed
with touches of pathetic scenes. In tn
prologue, Nancy, in her humble home
made dissatisfied by friend, gamb
ler's wife, finally finds access into tn
wealthy home of society, and in each O
the succeeding acts the complication
and situation wax strongly in humo
and comedy and the musical number
add additional interest. The mimi
stage protrayals of Miss Rice in he
original creation of various character
izations meets with hearty approval
The scenery is new and bright and tn
costumes in the best of taste whicl
again adds much to a most perfec
whole.
