Don't Fail to attend this Great TrTR LADY The seating' capacity of Keith's hall was taxed Tuesday evening to accommo date the audience which assembled to hear and see the lady minstrels, and up to the hour of going to press no one had been found who was not pleased with the entertain it ent. The programme was of such a varied character as to ex clude weariness in the audience, and there was a total absence of those "breaks" so common to amateur produc fcione. To the critical aadttor the only improvement which might hava been made was a more complete localization of the Jokes sprung by those occupying the end seats. This apparent lack was due, however, to the fact that some times the persons who are made the butt of a joke take offense at the same, and k was the expressed desire of the ladies taking part that nothing should be said or done that would tend to offend the most sensitive person. After an admirable selection, by Prof. Garlicbs full orchestra, the curtain roHed and disclosed about thirty ebon- feued females seated upon the stage There were eight end girls costumed in red and yellow velvet jackets, black skirts, white shirts and powdered wigs, while tha others wore black zouave jackets, black skirts and white shirts. The appearance was more unique than beatif uL for a white woman no matter how handsome loses her beauty when covered with burnt co rk The first part of t he programme was devoted to chorusPSj solos, and the witty sayings of those occupying the end seats. Th ltter were rilled by Mesdames Park, Docglas, Finn, Newton and Misses Keli her. Von Goetz, iloXamara and Baker with Mrs. Seeberger as interlocutor. The soloists were ilesdams Stuart. Finn, and "Park and Misses Sorenson, Vos Goetz, Sullivan, McNamara, Keliher Baker and Donshower, each of whom acotuied herself creditably. LThe second part was devoted to special ties consisting of impersonation songs by Mrs. Murray of Cheyeane, who was heartily encored, and responded thereto. Foiiowieg this was a dance by Miss Pest which was very neatly executed, and shows that in this direction the young lady has a natural gift. A lecture on the subject of Apa.e" was delivered by ; Miss Facnie von Goetz and proved quite a hit. Mabel Donehower sasg a topical song evidently composed by J. B. McDonald, in a very pleasing way,, aad was fallowed by a well executed dance by Mesdames Dooglas and Huffman. The second part closed with a drill of the Barktown squad in command of Mrs. Newton. This was a laughable . , . banesqae. and the mast ai - i . rattstoc feature of the evenimr. The third part of the programme con sisted of a sketch which presented a number of amusing features, and proved a fitting finale. Taken altogether the entertainment was a pronounced success, and reflected credit alike upon those taking part and those who had the affair ia charge. It has been said that there could be no j cure ror internal pues witnout a surgi cal operations, but over 100 cases cured m Council Burns, la., by the use of Hemorrhoildine proves the statement false. There is a cure and quick perma nent relief for .ill who suffer with blind. ' bleeding and protruding piles. Its use ' causes no pain, even in the most asgra- rated cases. It is also a cure for consti pation. Price 51.50. For sale by A. F. Streitz. SALE the 16th at STOESEL kinds of good. Read oar grand SHOE DEPT.

These German soldiers had a brutal sport, con sisting of catching a couple of cats, ty-isg--tb8ir tails- together, throwing them across a ehxhesfine and aliowimr them to tear one another to pieces. A Hussar regiment was statioaed inK3kennyr and the sport, becoming known to the offi cers, was forbidden. One day the sol diers were surreptitiously indulging in it in their barracks, when the step of the ofocer of the day was heard, and a Hussar, hassiiv drawing his sword, slashed at the cars, cutting off their tails and releasing them. The mutilated creatures hastily vanished through she nearest window, and when the officer entered aad demawied an explanation of the severed tails it was suavely explain ed to him that two cats bad been, nght ing and had eaten each other up, all but the tails. Thomas Hardy. Thomas Hardy, the novelist, is thus described by a writer who has recently met Mm: "'His cheeks are slightly sunken and his skin is sallow, speaking of sedentary labors, the midnight lamp and of a constitution that eouM not support the sustained strain of an ardu ous task. Yet his eyes tell another tale and possess that phosphorescent light that indicates energy. The solution of these contradictory remarks muse be that he is mentally as robust as he is physically delicate. "Going thf- whole hog was original iya piece of butchers slang. In the colonial days of America purchasers would frequently buy a whole bog to be ca up at home; hence the batcher would ask if the customer means to go the whole bog or wanted only a part.
