Musical comedy lacking in nc par

Lively" which began a weeks engage
ment at the Lyric Theatre yesterday
afternoon. fiThe show has life. The
stage is covered with pretty maidens,

they are a study in proportion. No
fault can be found in either respect.
They are costumed in style that we
have been dead to expect only in 81
shows. The songs r new and
snappy. Taken in all, "Step Lively"
is a popular priced musical comedy
masterpiece. Its reputation had evil

other mule with the $500, which he
also rented to the city, and at the
end of the second wear he had two
mules and $500 cash. which he in
vested in two more mules. He
kept this up IS years, till his first
mule colt was l8years old, at which
time he owned 32,767 mules, worth
an average of 500 each. or $3,276,
