public here last Thursday, to near a
capacity crowd; but for the fact that

youngest theatre manager in the cOun-
try. He assured the public that he had
been catering to their wants for some
time, and intended to serve them with
the best and most up-tO-date pictures
that could be gotten; and, in addition,
vaudeville and travelling shows will
play at the theatre about every two
weeks. The picture, School Days" +"
shown on opening night, was very
fine picture; and in conjunction with
the showing of the picture, Mrs. Jos.
Jackowick rendered the favorite song,
entitled School Day" She was ac-
companied on the piano by Mrs. c..
Fred Wilson. Mrs. JackOwick wore an
evening gown of white silk and car
ried a large boquet of red carnations.

of Harrington Journal, an artist of re-
nown and full of Irish wit, recited
