Also j. l. Hensley sold his three
hundred acre farm near Atlantic fol

AT THE PRINCESS.

Coming with the first of the week change at the Princess are some of the newest novelties fin the enter tainment line, some specialties that you never saw before, new, novel and right up to the minute, with five all star acts for your approval.
 The Prince" new and novel sketch by J. c. Nugent & Co, a play let based on the theory of eugepics. It is one of the best and brightest sketches and will be a much talked of act before the three days run of the bill closes. Nugent appears in a mono.playlet in which he takes the part of half-witted youth who has grown suddenly rich through an in- vention. It has a human interest touch to it, but relies chiefly upon the rapid.fire chatter of Nugent for it's drawing power.
 The Two Kerns come with a great big surprise acrobatic feature, en- titled After the Fair' Dressed as inhabitants of the rural district, their dialogue brings them into demonstration of their ability as acrobats, and in addition to being a Icorking good comedy number. sev- eral unusual athletic feats will be introduced. Their act depends as much on the comedy as it does on the ability of the two performers, and in neither case have they ever fallen down. They are two of the most clever tumblers and several of their feats will no doubt prove a decided hit.
 A most graceful exhibition of skating is offered by Winslow and Duffy The long sweeping glides lend to grace under all circuf- stances and are nothing short of the poetry of motion.
 They appear as saucy soubrettt and an elongated eccentric French man. Miss Duffy stands in a class by herself as a skater and Winslow defies all laws of g:avitation. A ripple of comedy runs throughout the act, which in addition to the grace and care of the difficult skating feats, make the act partieu- larly pleasing.
 The Wilton Sisters are clever team of juvenile musicians, one being a pianist and the other a vio- linist. At a remarkably early age these youngsters started musical education which has resulted in their rapid progress on the stage. They exIcel in violin and piono selections, and aside from their talent in this direction, the pleasing personality Of this pair serves in large measure to make them fayerites.
 tsabeA BGonded, singing com edienne. is another feature of the bill. She comes heralded as one of the best single entertainers, with a new line of songs and comedy, put over in an entirely new way.
 The bill looks all to the good and will no doubt prove one better than the usual booking at this house Of hits.
