"POLIY OF THE CIRCUS"
BEST SHOW OF SEASON

A prettler story was never staged
at Seelye theatre than that told In
polly OF the Circus" which a capable
company presented here last night. II
is a tale OF circus life and every per-
son likes II, out an old circus man
can see It's deeper meanings. 1t tells
a tale of the connection Of amusev
ments Of any sort with small town
life that Is q lesson. Polly OF the
Circus" breaches a sermon and does
Il more effectively than many a
learned discourse from the pulpit Tor
II gets down to the real facts Of life,
whether II is circus life or the church
life of the village. Miss Fay Wal
lace, a very charming young woman,
with wonderful talent for this par
ticular part, filled 1t with life. 1t
would be hard to find 1t done equally
by another, for her Interpretation
of It leaves no suggestion for I'M
proyement. She is young but she has
more grace as an actress than hum
dreds that have greater regulations,
possibly. 1t would be hard to write
a play that would suit her style bet
ter. Miss Wallace had exceptional
support and the stage equipment
with It's circus accoutrements, proved
to be an unexpected addition. There
are no weak spots from the first un-
til the last, when the circus drives
away, over the hills, leaving Polly
and her "Sky Pilot" standing ION
the lot" Nothing leaves quite the
impression, to a circus man, as to
be left standing on the lot" and the
play could have no better ending
Horses, ponies, clowns a real circus
ring with performers and the circus
atmosphere made the performance
interesting. The Seelye was filled
and the audience greatly enjoyed
what was the best show of the season
y u ....
Three companies are playing POL
w." One is In the northwest, one In
central states and the other was
here last night.
y u
The Seelye management found one
company that would obey the house
rule and raise the curtain at S:15
It went up on the minute last night
much to the discomforture OF SOM
late corners, The house management
cannot always enforce this rule. Som
companies loaf back Of the scene
and are not ready. Scoldlng does nj
good and to raise the curtain befor
the actors are ready would spoil
everything. 1t is noticed that tn
real metropolitan companies are tn
prompt ones, the scrub companie
drag on the stage late. The .seely
has a struggle with every one OF tn
latter that comes along and 1t mus
be a relief to have company Xix
that OF last night promptly on time
Some day when a company lags tn
house management will lose patienc
and will raise the curtain at 81
regardless of whether or not the act
ors or actresses are dressed for com
pany and you'll see a surprised bunc
Of performers-but that compan
will not return and 1t will all hav
to be fought over. This is only on
of the many problems of the theatr
manager; 1t is, however, one of tn
most annoying and the coming OF a
up-to-the-minute company like "PoI
w" is a welcome event.

Local Happenings Of Half and
- Quarter Century Ago -
Glimpses Of the Town and TownFoIk
From Advertiser Files of This Week
" - in Years 1860 and 1885 ~ -
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

Fort street.-This street appears to
be attracting more Of the business of
the town. Mr. Howe has recently
moved his lumber yard to the Espla.
made, opposite that of the Messrs. Poor.
Mr.. p. c. Jones, ir., has opened a well.
stocked store, known as the "Star
Store" where everything from a jews.
harp TO an ox-cart can be found. G.
H. Nicholson, adjoining Mr.. Jones
store, has reopened his tailoring esta-
blishment and holds himself ready to
suit the most fastidious. In the stand
formerly occupied by Mr.. N, above DR..
Smith s, we notice that Mr.. Adderly has
recently opened harness shop.
One necessity gives rise to another,
and we have now two stores ready to
supply the wants of housekeepers. Mr..
Levers, in the old stand of Sam Sing.
on Fort street, has been in operation
some months. This week Mr.. c. E. Viii.
liams has opened furniture store, near.
ly opposite the above stand, where we
notice a fine display of furniture, both
home made and imported. Both these
gentlemen manufacture to order, ami
being practical mechanics of acknowl-
edged taste, can suit every customer.
Capsized.-A boat with six or eight
natives was capsized last week in the
passage between Maui and Molokai. It
was supposed that they were all lost
till, some days afterward, they were
heard from as having reached Lanai,
after swimming twentyfour hours.
None but natives could perform such
a feat.
Harper's weekly and Monthly.-A
correspondent, abiding to the club no.
tice for these periodicals in another col
umn, takes the occasion to give them q
rap over our shoulders. He says:
81 have taken these periodicals al.
most ever since they were published,
and should like to continue but I am
querying in my own mind whether 1
can stand it any longer. The fact is,
and l can't disguise it, that they are
deterioratingl They are now so filed
with serials that l almost dread to open
one. An intolerably stupid tumble,
called 'The Virginians, has been draw
ing its weary length along through the
last year in the monthly, the leaves of
which never CUT
There are very few if any magazines
now published which do not issue serials
in them. The Atlantic, one of the best
conducted American monthlies, is noted
for its serials-the Minister Wooing
and the Autocrat of the Breakfast
table. Notwithstanding its endless
story, of The Virginians, Harper's
Magazine is unquestionably the most
entertaining and instructive monthly
ever issued from the American press.
Strawberries.-We have received from
that prince of gardeners, Holstein, a
basket of splendid strawberries, as large
and delicious as any that Cincinnati
could ever boast. In note be informs
us that his price has fallen, "to suit
the times,' to 80 cents per basket. But
such fr1it will sell at any price.
