Jas. 7. McAlpin's Hans Han
son Company appeared in Phelps
Opera House Friday evening,
and a packed house witnessed
the performance. This was a
guaranteed attraction, and every
one was highly pleased, speaking
in highest terms of the play and
players. Old theatre goers say
it was one of the best shows ever
seen in Meade and we are of the
opinion that they are not far
from right. We could see no
room for improvement. Meade
is getting only the better class
of plays and patrons of the opera
house know that when play is
advertised it will be worth the
price and many times more.
Mr.. Phelps is to be commended
in this course. 1t probably will
not be a winner financially, but
he will esta blish a reputation for
his house which will be invalu-
able.

Buttons.

The Elizabethan era gave vogue to
the button and buttonhole, two inven
tons which may fairly be regarded as
important, since they did much to
revolutionize dress. The original but
ton was wholly a product of needle
work. which was soon improved by the
use OF wooden mold. The brass but
ton is said to have been introduced by
a Birmingham merchant in 1850. II
took 200 years TO improve on the meth.
cd Of sewing the cloth upon the cover

hit upon the idsa OF making the but.
