Speaking of Ell and Jane, the popular
production which viii be seen at the Con-
dram Theatre on Saturday night. Dec. 81,
the Bonne Terre (Mo.) Register says:
"'Eli and Jane was the attraction at
the Lyceum Theatre last night and gen
eral satisfaction was expressed by the
large audience which witnessed the play.
MIR. Green has been seen here before, but
never in a role that suited him better
than Eli The play is not to be cIassed
with the ordinary 'rube' production, for
the comedy is most refined. The special
ties introduced were well received and
wen the admirationsof the audience.
The pretty play of Eli and Jane teens
with ouips of human nature and one is
brought very close to humanity without
it's civilized frill, without its passions sub
dued by dissimuiation, with all Of its
faults and some of It's vices. The senti-
ments are pure, clean and wholesome
with a constant remind Of your boy ane
girlhood days that brings just a suspicion
| of moisture to the eyes at times. Re
member the date and be one of the happy
throng to see Eli and Jane"

HENS HARRIED.
Valuable Fowls Exhibited at Show of Poul-
try Fanciersf Association Have Some
Narrow Escapes Thrilling Tales
of Rescue

The thorough bred chickens exhibited
at the show of the Poultry Fanciers AS
sociation held in New Orleans this week
had some narrow escapes. The morning
after Queen Fisheldoote. the $1,000
White Wyandotte hen. was rescued from
a negro after run from the show rooms
to the corner of Canal and Royal streets.
a half-dozen of her blue-blooded sisters
were recovered from imminent danger OF
being turned into soup, fricassee, GRO
quettes. or whatever the patrons of the
St. Charles Hotel might have called for.
Alonzo Blanks, a negro porter in the
show-rooms, having tooth for chicken,
and a particularly appreciative palate,
took the Queen from her box Monday
morning. A few minutes later her abb
sence was noticed and mighty howl
went up from the assembled fanciers.
Patrolman Sydney Poynot noticed Alonzo
leave the place with a sack. Led by the
officer, mob of chicken experts chased
Alonzo and recovered Her Majesty Al
onzo is now in the New Orleans parish
prison, where he will have large slice of
very commonplace turkey for his Christmas
dinner, according to the police, to whom
he explained that he wanted the white
hen for that occasion.
The adventure of the Queens distin-
guished sisters was somewhat different
but none the less thrilling. Through the
error of an express company's driver, a
special crate of costly White Wyandottes
was left at the St. Charles Hotel Tuesday
morning. and coop Of ordinary but well
fatted fowl taken to the show. The
fanciers laughed at the heavyweights IN
the coop until one of them, who had been
expecting his Wyandottes, arrived. He
grasped the situation Immediately and in
about four seconds flying wedge OF
fanciers, followed by crowd that under
stood nothing but that there was some
thing doing, went swiftly in Canal street
to St. Charles, up st. Charles to Gravier,
and out Gravier to the back entrance of
the hotel. Just as the fastest fancier in
the lot dashed intG the Wires1etted COM
partment where the hotels live chickens
are kept, Robert johnson, a newly en-
ployed negro, was about to apply the
hatchet to the neck of one Of their beloved
hens. The negro says he knows not which

gave him a dollar, he is willing to let by
cones be by-gones. The mistake was ex-
planned TO the steward, who willingly sur
rendered the Wyandottes and sent for his
fatted fowl at the show rooms. Alfred
S. Amer. the new proprietor of the hotel,
says he has never served any $500 hens
yet and does not expect to in the near
future.
