MlNsTRsLs WITH FEATURES
Al G. Fields Aggregation at the
Opera House Tuesday Evening.

"All Halloween" or "Lish Murns
Dream" the dancing advertisement
and scenic spectacle with the Al c.
Field Greater Minstrels which comes
to the Bennington opera house on
Tuesday, Jan. 20 for one night only
is built on an old negro tradition mar
rated to Field by an eX-slave Dur
ing the days before the war in the
south this story was always included
in mothers repertoire of bedtime
stories, and the colored nurses in
the homes of the whites always re-
called their charges nightly with
their graphic description of old Lish
Murn and his dream.
In the Field production the exterior
OF the aged negro's cabin melts away
as the Ethapian is under the effects
of a jugful of liquor he has quaffed
and the interior of the cottage is
shown. Then the dream takes the
spectator TO Goblin Dell where the
dancing contingent offer a number
of surprising novelties.
Melting. away Goblin Dell gives
place to a vivid production of Hades
where Lish Murn is taken as pun
ishment for being a good-for-nothing
niger on earth. Here, too, the
scenic effects are quite startling. and
the display closes with the interior
of the cabin when Lish awakens
ready to take the pledge and taboo
liquor for the rest of his life
The Gold Band, a new departure in
minstrelsy, is one of the novelties
this season. Two free concerts will
be offered daily during the engage
ment here

It seems t is the general opinion that ohoras girls will accept the al. tentions and remarks o5 careless peo, pie without resentment. But one young man of Bisbee who was suHer. ing under that delusion is today Q s2dder but wiser person.
 Miss Queenie Duflcy. one of the members of the Tri State Musical Comedy Co, now at the Orpheum, was coming to the theatre on We'd nesday morn ng when a young man who was leaning on the picket fence opposite the Phelps Dodge Store, ad dressed a remark to her, She passed on without making retort. Half en hour later she was returning t5 iae hctel when the sams peT-on haiieI her again as a squab
 Now, according to fin. .an sI-ss Dufflcy is not eElct,y "squab" and furthermore, If she were no heavier than such a member of the pigeon family the young man would not haze receive3 the lesson he did, fo- sEc young lady turned on her heel saI let him have her opCG hand on h.- mouth. Probably it wls mere the surprise than the free Cf t@c b-ow that tok him over the fence. but over he went. while Mis- CCficy continued on her way.
 Later. in speaking ol the incident to the other members Os the company, she sad that she couldn't imagine how she eve. aGnuoned the courage to do it. tut it is the opinion that the real men of Bisbee will agree with her friends that she did perfectly right
