The catcher service in the railway
mail service , whereb3 * mail is 'dropped
into cranes at small stations from fast
trains , is giving the postal authorities
much annoyance , and complaints are
frequent. Acting General Superintend
ent Myers of the railway mail service
has issued two orders to correct abuses.
One prohibits the use of damaged or in
secure catcher pouches , and the other
directs division railway mail superin
tendents to instruct postmasters as to
properly hanging catcher pouches on
the mail cranes. Both of the orders are
due to reports indicating that the mails
are frequently exposed to loss or damage
by use of damaged catcher equipment
and improper placing of sa ks in the
small cranes. The second order is issued •
with a view to avoiding failure to secure 1
mails at catch stations and to prevent !
damage to equipment. '

Mahara's Minstrels.
This well known company which is
billed to appear at the opera house , Me
Cook , Mondaj' , Maj' loth , is now play
ing to large houses in Denver. The
Morning News of Monday , May 3d , says :
"The only place of amusement open ,
yesterday afternoon , was the Lyceum ,
and that fact , in connection with a clever
show , drew large crowds to both matinee
and night performances. Mahara's min
strels are just what is claimed for them ;
clean , bright , up-to-date and with an
abundance of prett3' music and topical
songs. The first part , which of course
consists of singing and witticisms , pre
pared the audience for the several clever
specialties which followed in the olio.
The singing of Billy Young in conjunc
tion with his comedy work was the hit
of the show. Hilliard Brewer , the con
tortionist , was awarded a fair share of
applause. He certainly is a wonder and
his queer bending and dislocation of
joints merited all the encomiums tend
ered him. The skirt dancing of Le Roy
Bland , female impersonator , was a splen
did imitation of the prima donna dan-
suese and was well received by his audi
tors. The performance , taken as a whole ,
was pleasing and stale jokes were notice
able for their absence" .
Reserved seats 50 cents , now on sale
