ern In an old-fashioned way , so peculiar to
himself that no ono would undertake to con *
tiiuio tlio establishment after his death , In
187 ? ; hence it passed away with him. Among
the old fellow's assistants In that tavern was
a youth named Klcliard Golden. Young
Golden was repeatedly charged by the old.
man with Doint ? n bolter hotel clerk than
"tavern assistant , " and was ultimately
round guilty on this accouut and sentenced
LO quit the tavern for the natural term of Ins
life. Desplto this visitation Mr. Golden has
over entertained the kindliest sentiments to
ward the aiod Innkeeper , and now sooh& to
perpetuate the old fellow's good memory
through the medium of the now play that it
announced for production in this city next
Monday evening at Boyd's opera house , un
der the title of 'Old Jed Prouty , " Mr.
Golden to impersonate the title role himself.

Grand opera house , Denver , and the iioiv
California theater , San Francisco ; also at
the now Union Square theater , Now York.
While the play is familiarly named after
Mr. 1'routy , it is said to aim at portraying
only the old Yankee's best qualities , with
the laudable object of demonstrating to the
world , through the agency of the stapo , thnt
the "down cast'er" is not such a fool as ho
is usually represented to bo.

A soulful poet with a hood like Byron , is

Flirtation has been ttfought to the highest

hotel verandas were practically deserted , so
these two sat chatting away about "negli

the weather till the crowd began coming
back. All the girls looked with envious eves
upon the Zlttlo fairy and wondered who the
stylish new comer could bo and how tbo cap
