Hibernian Carnival
 Opens Friday Evening Will Continue at Lincoln Ball Room for Ten Nights

Friday evening of this week will mark the opening of the grand ten night Hibernian carnival to be given by Division No. 1, A. O. H., at Lin coin ball room in the Taylor building on Cannon street. The committee on arrangements have selected this ball room because of it's bea uty, and be- cause it is better fitted to hold a car nival, perhaps, than any other hall in the city. The accommodations for the entertaining of friends of the division are also better.
 For the past few days the bah room has been in the hands of the decora- tors and carpenters, who have been busy arranging the various booths and etting the decorations, which will be most elaborate and appropriate of a Hibernian carnival.
 The various committees have now ar- ranged all their plans and are pre- pared to show their friends their ef- forts during the ten nights beginning Friday the 28th, till Tuesday evening Feb. 8th Tn that time they expect that all their friends will pay them a visit and have a good old fashioned time.
 As an innovation throughout the carnival, and as an incentive for all to. join in the fun, arrangements have been made to have John J. O'Neill act as prompter each evening. MT. O'Neill is apwold master at this kind of@work being before the public for many years.
 Put the dates down in your little book, Friday evening, Jan. 2Sth, to Tuesday evening, Feb. 9th.

IIN THE THEATRES
POI.I'S

A little incident reminiscent of the London music halls occurs nightly at Pon's theatre during the act of Laddie Cliff that mighty clever product of the other side of the pond. In this town there are hundreds of Laddies coun- trymen, and following the custom of the other side. where applause does not mean the clapping of hands but rather a peculiar whistle through the teeth, they evidence their pleasure and pride in their little countryman by the Eng fish method of applause. Laddie has a warm spot for his own people and the little chap greatly appreciates the message from home. Incidentally it might be mentioned in passing, that Laddie Cliff, not alone stands at the head of his profession as an eccentric dancer and singer but he is the only vaudevillian in this city or any other country who is booked solid, fifty two weeks in the year. from now up to 1923 and he has the contracts in his much argument, pro and con, as to the exact age of the boy and his mother who travels with him is only too pleased to furnish the necessary information on the subject. Laddie Cliff is just seventeen years of age and this goes to decide all bets.

TROLLEY CAR LEFT TRACKS
 HUMPING DOCTOR'S FENCE

Trolleymen running cars on the Barnum avenue line believe they should be given more time than the allotted hour to make the round trip from Mill Hill avenue in the East End and Fairfield avenue and State street extensions in the West End The same running time was in effect about a year ago, when the travel was not nearly as heavy as it is now.
 Monday afternoon one of the new motormen who was running at high speed to make up lost time forgot to slow down in taking the scurve at Barnum and Noble avenues. The rear truck left the tracks and the car ran on to the sidewalk knocking a post out of the iron fence around the dooryard of pr. George B. Cowell.
 No one was injured and the car was put back on to the tracks under it's own power. The motorman blamed the switch for the accident. Some ice had got into the groove in the tracks as a result of there being no sewer we'll on the southeast cor ner of Barnum and Noble avenues.
