STRANGE SICKNESS OF FRIEDA PRUDER A "Wlteli Doe-tor" Nciirly Moblii-d Mlrncu- loim Cure * of MtriiiiRcc. fniin Mlnnourl UliliiK Series orcircimntidicc * . A belief In witchcraft has prevailed at one time or another among every nice , and it is not strange that remnants of this common superstition still linger hero and there. A cnso In point eamo tip in Nebraska only n few days ago. nnd it lias not only the element of the curious , but Incidentally some remark- bblo features that border on the marvelous. "When the Hock Island railroad built its line through southern Nebraska a few years ngo it located a station house out on tlio broad , fertile prairlo twenty miles west of JJcatrlco nnd named It Janscn , after I'otor ilnnscn , a neighboring farmer. The lonely Imllding soon attracted a grain shipper , who was joined by other settlers until .Tanson is jiow a prosperous village of t00 ! or 300 souls. Most of the inhabitants are Germans and llusslnns. simple folk who have brought vdth them many of the habits and super stitions of their old country life. Many of them understand but little English nnd talk even less , but In the main they are Indus trious , well meaning people. Among them lives John I'ruder , a mild mannered old German who earns a scanty subsistence for liimsclf nnd family by laboring on tlio sheep ranch of J'ctcr Janscn. Ho lives with his wife and granddaughter in a humble cottage of three rooms. The onlyonoof the three Who understands English is little Frieda , a I'lrl of 0 , and this child has been the Invol untary cause of a remarkable train of clr- cuniBtancca A MynttirloiiK Mulndy. ' Just before the holidays Frieda was taken 111 nnd confined to her bed , and until ten days ngo she was the victim of a most mysterious nilment. She was subject to spasms in which her lingers were cramped until the nails were buried in her palms and the tees were turned under her feet , She lost sight , hearing and speech , and her little figure was racked with u variety of involuntary con tortions. She was entirely helpless for hours and days , and for. one period of eight weeks life was sustained by pouring milk down her throat. At other times she ini- ngined she saw visions. Sometimes It was nn angel , then a rabbit and a aln a woman in a white skirt. One physician ventured the opinion that the child's liver was af fected. Another at Fairbury said she was suffering trom typhoid fever and eliided the grandparents for bringing the. sick child seven miles to him , A third physician frankly admitted that hu did not understand Frieda's case. The circumstances of her sickness are vouched for by American neigh bors of respectability who can have no mo- ilun tn lnlifr MPOROlit. t.lm TTintPiv The little girl s strange case naturally be- rnino known to the whole community , and lifter it had Dallied several doctors one of the superstitious old women suggested that Frieda had been bewitched. In support of her theory she urged that tlio inside of the bed upon which the child rested be ex- fcmined. Acting upon tins suggestion , the J'rudcrs opened the tick from time to time , nnd there , curiously cnoi'rh , they found tne leathers matted into peculiar shapes. Once it was a wreath. At other times there were llowers , a pigeon and bails. These were also seen by reliable witnesses. In ono of tlio balls were somu pellets resembling peas. Mr. Conrad Bruer cut one open with u knife ami | t gave off an extremely olTensivo odor , but lie was unable to tell what it was. Souklng the \Vltch. The superstitious neighbor suggested thtlt Ihcso feather objects bo binned , saying that the witch would bo the iirst person to visit Ibo bouso after the burning. The tirst caller happened to bo n Mrs. Miller , who came to borrow a pair of spectacles or to recover a ) > air she had left behind. Her husband bad nt ono time made a vain attempt to sell Prudcr a piece of property , and they readily accepted tlio conclusion that Mrs. Miller was bewitching thu child in revenge. The story uf witchcraft soon became a topic of every day conversation among the simple people nnd founn many believers. The children ol the town became affected , took fright at their shadows and dreaded to go out after flark. News of the affair readied n farmer named William Noltcnsmcyer , formerly of Missouri. Ho advised tlio Pruders to send for John ICrinberg of Warrenton , Mo. , and told wonderlul talcs of the cures wrought by him. Erinbcrg promised lo conic if his faro were paid , but the Prudcrs were too poor to raise even that small sum. Finally Mr. Jlrucr , out of pity for the suffering child , ad vanced f 15. Mr. Erinbcrsr arrived at Jansen Saturday morning , called for Mr. Bruer , and they vent to the I'ruder homo. The stranger looked at the child , said ho could euro her , und asked for a room in which ho could bo nlouo. An adjoining room was given up to him , but what ho did in there is unknown. \Vhcn lie eamo out ho was perspiring , as though ho had undergone some great physi cal exertion. Throe times that day did ho Kivo the child this "treatment , " us lie called his private operation.

When crowclei into the little room their spokesman notltled Krinberg that ho must leave thu lown the next morning or they would prosecute him CTho stranger from Missouri was a peaceful ivhito bearded man of 70 and was evidently frightened by tlieso threats , hut when Mr Bruer and other intelligent citizens , satistlei Hint ho was at least doing no harm , prom ised to protect him , ho agreed to stay. . Mr. Erinberg gave little Frieda three "treatments" Sunday morning. , and in the nflcrnoon she was about playing with the other children of her ago. Sunday night she was nt the house of Mr. Bruer until i : o'clock , romping merriry with his children though she htut not entirely recovered bc.i speech. > Thiyfiobof Saturday night hold a nicotine Kutuui/ami determined to tnr and fcathei Hirinberg that night. Their plotting was overheard by a boy , who notified Prudcr's friends , 'llioso gathered in force to protect the old man , and his enemies were fright cued from their purpose. AnotlmrVomlrrful Cure. Among the business men of Jansen is Mr 3. W. Marshall , a grain bu.\er. Ho has a 10 year-old son , Floyd , who suffered for olgh years from two running sores , 0110 on eael side of his neck. Tlieso were so lanro ilia it was possible to stick a linger into the carl ties they had made in the llnsh. Putrid pus oozoti from tlio wounds at almost ovcri breath an.l movement of the muscles and bu for padding of cotton would have saturated the boy's clothing to the waist. It was ueccssary to dress tlio sores several times i day ? and the little follow sulTorodJgroatpain He had been treated by Omaha and other idi.'slcinusat an outlay of many hundrci dollars , but without much relief. The euro of Frieda Pruder naturally be eamo the talk of the town , and Floyd Mar Bbull asked his father to take him to Mr lOrlnberg for treatment. The father had no faith in thu old man's imvcrs , but llnallj consented to call on him just to satisfy the lioy. Mr. Erinberg looked at tlio hid In tcntly for a moment , chut toil with him a foiv minutes , told him to bit a good boy and sale bo would Ut cured. In this case the old mai did not retire to another room 'nils meeting occurred about 10 o'clock las TTursdsy morning. When Floyd eamo to his mother at it In the afternoon to have his neck dressed she was surprised to find tha Ibo sores had stopped running and the wounds seomrd to ba closed , A lump as Jtrpc at. n goose egg that had been gather injr on ono side of the neck for three weeks jirevlou * bad also dlsapuemred. Hardly able 10 bollave herejei and not wishing to ralto fatso hopes , Mrs. Marshall tmtd nothing to her husband about the wonderful change until the next day , when tlio sores had en tirely closed and tlio discharges ceased. The Kvldcnro lnitl | iiitnblc. These cures are close ti | > oii thu miraculous , and yet the testimony Is nbovo suspicion. The condition of these two children was known to almost every person In thu little village , and when examined last Friday by a representative of Tin : Bun they were un doubtedly free from their former aliments if the eyes are to bo believed. Little Frieda's ilguro was somewhat thin and her volco was weak , but she walked about the house smartly , smiled cheerfully and conversed In English as intelligently as the average child of her age. l.lttle Floyd was plaj ing about his father's ofilco ana evidently was an ex ceptionally bright and well mannered boy. In place of the sores there were two sears on his neck , each about ns large ns a silver lunrlcr. The big lump had left no mark , ind there was no nUn of pus. Tlio boy held ils bead as though the neck was stiff , but ic said ho full no pain , and there was no other evidence of nuv ailment. Mr. Erinberg gave no explanation of his lowers further than to say that ho should lot bo thanked , that the cures were elTe < ; ted > y God working through him.Vben writ- en to at his homo ho said he could euro ricila without coming to Jansen , but in that cnso her ailment would pass to some other ncmbcr of the family. When ho examined .he child he said some persons have the lower to a fillet others In that manner by living them something to eat. 'ITio believers n witchcraft thereupon crncluded that Mrs. lichard Furleigh , the wile of the village lacksniitb , was the witch because she had given the child some sausage to eat. Neither Mrs. Miller nor Mrs. Furleigh , though suspected of being a witch , was nolestcd. 1 bo MyMi-rloim llcnlrr. Mr. Erinberg is a farmer at home. Ho ipparently practices a faith or magnetic treatment and also has some peculiar superstitions. When Mr. Bruer offered to ay him for his trouble he refused , saying ho reared it might result In harm to himself if lie nsod his powers to make money. It was oniy after much urging that lie accepted 0 and a return ticket. ! rom Mr. Marshall lie received nothing because he had left town before that gentleman know of the euro of his son. When asked to treat Mrs , Bruer for rheumatism Mr. Erinbeig said ho could not cure all diseases , and rheumatism was one of those which had ballicd his powers. On leaving hu said lie would return to Jansen uh never needed , hut ho must be notillcd of tie nature of the ailment that he may determine before starting whether ho can effect a cure. Mr. Bruer , to whose compassion this ro- markablu train of events is largely duo , Is a well-to-do man who owns several farms and now has a general store at Janscn. He formerly lived on a farm near the residence of Dr. George K Miller , Just west of Omaha. He is a man of intelligence and integrity and verifies tlio stories of the two children. His home is almost next door to that of the J'ru dcrs , and he had personal knowledge of Frieda's caso. He has no explanation of the manner of her cure. Mr. Marshall is a business man whoso manner inspires confidence at once. Hu was formerly in the grain business at Kpringlield , n few miles southwest of this city , and has many friends and acquaintances In Omaha. He is not superstitious and takes no stock in "faith cure. " Ho even doubts that Mr. Erinberg affected his son by tlio short con versation they had , nut ho knows that the boy is cured , nnd tie is us much mystified as any one. It is beyond dispute that botli children were suffering from serious ailments before Erinberg visited Jansen. It is equally true that since his visit their diseases have left them and they are apparently in good health. The reader may make his own guesses at tlio mystery. IWKEUIS JFlS.lSUl.il , ItKriKtr.

In the ilrst place every petition and letter should bo type-written , if possible. This facilitates the work of reading and often in sures their reading whereas If it were in manuscript n strong argument would bo thrown aside. lion to rick Your Job. As a preacher prepares his sermon from a text , the applicant should ilrst prepare his or her application , making formal applica tion fur the position sought. Tills would bo more appropriate if written with ink and pen , as the ofiicer Avlio makes the appoint ment generally wants to see a sample of the applicant's handwriting , and if the applica tion is type-written the natural suspicion is that tliu applicant is deficient in penman ship. The application should bo addressed to the president , If the position sought is illled directly by the piesideut. If tliu office is given and controlled by a cabinet officer that officer shoeld bu addressed. For Instance , If you are seek ing a postolllco you should address your formal application toHon. . Wilson Bissell - sell , postmaster general , Washington , D. C. " If it is a position in the general land office , thu Indian service , or any other brunch of the Interior department , address yourself to "Hon. Hoko Smith , secretary of the in terior. " If you arc anxious to get u position in the customs service , tlio internal revenue business , life saving , revenue marine or other branch of the Treasury department , don't forget that "Hon.

Leave all these details , includ ing your age , appearance , education , busi ness experience and qualifications , and other facts which will argue in your fa\or , to your endorser , Judge Jones. It will ap pear with much better grace , and then if your letter over should turn up in your home paper or in u future campaign , when you are appealing to your constituents for their franchise , self-laudation will not embarrass you. Certainly anything which your friend may say in your behalf will not bo charged to you , for you are not supposed to know any thing about what ho lias written until you have received his letter of endorsement. Don't get up petitions , tor they are out of date , and petitions have little weight. Ask your friends to write letters. Arrange your papers in a comprehensive und attractive manner. Make it possible , aye easy , for the president or the cabinet officer to get at tlio gist of your recommen dations in a twinkling and not lese any of the good things which are said of you. An. olllcer often picks up a pile of letters or n budget of petitions from the biggest man in the state and , glancing at ono or two of the documents great men nearly always write almost illegibly - throw them all down in disgust. Appointing oflicers have not thu time or naticnco to road a tenth of tlio let ters addressed to them in the interest of ap plicants for office. Generally the president or a cabinet officer seeks the letter in tlio budget of some man personally known to him. Arrange your papers so that at a glance lie will sec what you have and so ho can pick out in a moment just what ho wants to read. Thin Siivct I.otK of Tlmo. After you have written out your formal ap plication nnd secured all of your endorse ments , place thorn in envelopes of uniform size and number thorn one , two , three , four , etc. , simply giving tlio number on the out side and placing the liguro at a uniform point upon tlio end of each of the envelopes. Then fold your application in a w.iy to bo easily opened , nnd of the size of the envel opes. Place them all in a bunch nnd slip a rubber band or two around them all , keeping your application on the outside of the pack , on the top of tlio bunch. Then brief them all , beginning with an inscription like this : Application and Kndor.emL'iits of luclus 1 , . Lucullls Uf Omaha , Nitb. Consul to Jerusalem.

Ho reads that quickly und saays to himself that you are to the point , und that you go right at business. Ho then opens the brief , which you have placed around the package like n jiicitot around a lawyer's pack of briufs. His eyu glides down the list and ho discovers the name of onu of your endorsers whom ho knows ; perhaps , or whoso title attracts his attention , and lie pulls it out of tlio package and reads. He has seen a list of all en dorsers , comprehends all , has read those ho wants to hear nnd your application is soon passed upon. Your case has been presented in its best light. Don't Olvu Vcuirsuir A oy. It is frequently advisable In applying for a position , in the foreign service especially , to enclose a photograph of yourself that is if you are a well appearing person ; but do not look us if you are too well satisfied with yourself. If you are cultivating a fancy moustache or beard or wear ultra fashions from itho corner haberdasher or have ono ot those solf-satislled smiles , go don a business man's outfit and borrow a studious and earnest expression and have a nuw photo taken. There is a picture of nearly overi man in the foreign service in tlio consular bureau of the Department of SUito. It is not necessary to tlio u photograph ; it is blmply n matter of tasto. I would advise against the photograph plan in any other than tlie State department. In applying for iKudlion in uny branch of the government there are some things it is well to bear in mind. Always go right to tlio | xlnt In what you say verbally or on paper. Ciovermnent officers like to keep up the appcarupco of being busy , if they uro really at lolvire Cabinet officers nnd the president aVi'/ihvays busy , nnd no mistake.

Ascertain what the position you xtoAl is , and where ; who occupies It , nnd who hp Is , where npmdnted from , who got him the place , etc. Half the ofileo seekers ask/for iilaors which have cither Just been filled by men in their own party , or whloh are .occupied by men who nro to be retained , or posltloni in the classi fied service.

U depends upon tliu office yon seek , your re lations with the man or men whom you de pend upon to pull you through , and the gen eral conditions. If you are seeking a jwst- ofiicc. and there is not much opposition or rivalry ; If you are asking lor a posi tion abroad or away from homo in tins country and do not personally know your congressman or senator , send your papers by mail or by a friend. If you know your representative in congress , and are anxious for the place go in person. Your personality will often turn the scales in your direction. And then it often happens that you bat-omo a burden to those who can con trol the appointments and they will give them out to get rid of you. 1 would not , however , advise any one to hung around and try to become n bore. Many a good man gets that Idea Into his head and soon gets ofilco out of it by being plainly told that ho certainly hasn't much business at home , or ho would not stay so long in Washington. Sonii ) Tiood Adrlcu , When you 1m o your papers all ready It is much the wisest to forward them to your congressman and see what effect they havo. The returns will indicate pretty well whether you are to bo considered fairly. It is always best to have a regard for your time and the comfort and Intelligence as well as the Im positions upon your representative In congress. Office seeking requires skill and patience. Few nro rewarded , many disappointed. Office holding does not pay. and it is well not to stake too much upon your chances , and not feel lost if you fail in your efforts. Failure to get a federal office is generally a blessing In disguise. In seeking ofilco don't foruot that tboro is a civil service law which rojulres examinations for positions paying from S'.IUO to SIKOI ) a year. In securing places worth JlluO to fl.suo annual salary you must apply llrst through the civil service commission , and after examination wait till you are called , should you pass favorably. Once in these positions you are not apt to be put out for partisan causes , and after all it is the best tiling in federal life if ono intends to hold office for business. . , PEUIIV S. HCATII. SLY COLONPL SMEAD. How Ho Manipulate * tin I'nr.ivni-ablo School llcmrcl. When it comes to line work in controlling school boards Colonel'Smcad of Toledo does not have to take a badk seat for anybody. Tt looked for a while as if the ICelloni school would bo the last'ork Colonel Smead would do in the line qf heating and venti lation for Omaha fcfr many a day. But Colonel Smead is Ida old a fox to be scotched ' in his liolo. The' , first move in ills campaign to capture the school board's work for this year was to quietly inaugurate a plcasant'junkct early last full , xle made up a select party of members of the school board un'dei1 pretext of exhibiting tliu superiority of hfs system of ventilation. He extended his hospitality to the select committee as far as'Toledo and other places. Why the same instruction could not have been imparted at the Ivcllom school in this city 's ' not down on tile catalogue. Wheivthe Junkotiifg trio returned homo at Colonel Smoad's expense , none were louder in the praise of the Smead furnace and the Smead dry closet than the members who hud taken the pleasure trip. All might have gone well were it not for the fact that the repeated tests made nt the Kullom school failed to verify tlio boasted claims of Colonel Smcad that the Ivellom school was perfectly ventilated. At least six tests have been made nt that building and in oaeli instance a number of the rooms have been found radi cally defective. Tlio principal of the school has likewise testified that there are rooms in the Ivellom building where tlio foul air was not removed ns it should bo by the Smead ventilating system. This stuto of affairs would give any other man but Colonel Smcad und his friends a black eye In his endcavors-to get tlio ten or twelve thousand dollars worth of furnace work still no-'cssai y to bo done in tl'o unfinished school buildings. But Colonel Smead's resident agent and friends arc men of resources. All along they have felt that the stumbling block to a favor able report on the Kellom school and Smoad success was duo to Architect of the Board Latenser , who so far has refused to endorse the ventilation of the Kellom school. A still hunt was consequently inaugu rated and the architect was given to under stand that his choice lay between endorsing Smead or waiting up Tuesday morning to 11 nil his head in the basket and Architect Ellis occupying his shoes. At least this is the program of Smead and his friends on the board mapped out at a private meeting held a few days ato. Architect Ellis is willing , so it is said , to do what work is necessary to finish the ten buildinirs under erection at a salary very much lower than that paid the present archi tect. This is the bait offered to tlio board on the line of "economy. " But us Colonel Smead and Architect Ellis are old friends of long standing it follows as three follows two that Colonel Smead will have no difficulty In the future of satisfying the board of the ef ficacy of his boating and ventilating plant , should the program of the caucus buadontcd by tlio honorable Board of Education.

In answering the question in the spirit in which it is asked , an exact understanding of the feat sought to be accomplished by the visitor must bo had in order to approximate the time required. The enclosed portion of the exposition covers over (500 ( acres of ground and contains fifty-two exposition and state buildings , besides the buildings of ninny foreign nations , and the stock exhibit. The ground lloor acreage under roof is 101.ti. This does not include the eighty acres em braced in Midway 1'laisaneo , with its many attractions , for which extr.i charges are made.

Hanking with the tele phone in its importance to the business world and the general public is a little instrument called the telautograph , to bo soon in a pa vilion built expressly for it within tlio walls of the big electricity building. It.is tlio in vention of Prof. IClisha Gray , one of the greatest inventors of the ago and the man who is entitled to the credit of inventing tlio telephone. This little instrument per forms the novel act of writing over a wire , nnd has been proven n success. Tlio itrrauiretucnts for its workings are not unlike those in a telephone exchange. Uriolly , and without attempt at technical description , the telautograph is somewhat smaller than a typewriter. Two tire neces sary , n transmitter and a receiver , at each end of a line , the length of which may bo from San Francisco to Boston. Thus a man may sit down at a transmitter at the Golden Gate and with nn ordinary lead pencil write a note to a friend in the Hub , and simultane ously another pencil at the distant station reproduces the words in exact fae-similo on another piece of paper. The second pencil is not touched by human hand , out is operated by electrical mechanism. Tlio handwriting this marvelous mechanism reproduces is that of tlio sender of the message , so accur ate is the working of the little machine. That is the long and chort of the telauto- craph. Director liurnlinm'R Kdurntotl A ] > p tlte , One among many of the causes which loJ up to the existing differences between the national and local exposition directories , dif ferences which not only threaten the success of the fair , but which have already delayed and hindered its completion , may bo found in the epicurean taste and patrician's appo- titoof Director of Works Daniel H. Uurnham. Besides being an excellent architect Mr. Burnham is an excellent feeder. Besides hav ing conceived the Wliito City , Mr. Burnham conceived a refectory , both conceptions be ing on a scale of unsurpassed splendor. The execution in both instances followed close upon the heels of conception , nnd had the same energy been displayed in carrying for ward tlio one as the oilier , tlio White City would bo completed. But thu refectory got the start early in tlio race. The refectory was completed months ago , the Whlto City is to bo comuletod some lime. This refectory is a model in Its way , as are all of Mr. Burnham's creations. It is pre sided over by a "chef" an ordinary cook would not do who was transplanted from a crack down town hotel , wlioro his stiut'iid was f .IHM ) u year. Assistant cooks and bakers , witli a full complement , of waiters nnd scullions of irreproachable podltrree and style , were secured and the establishment was duly Installed in a cheerful section of the public service building. Hero tlio direc tor of works fed in state , and with him such of the greatest of the fair autocrats and dis tinguished guests as ho may invite. No mere ordinary department director , assis tant director , commissioner or clerk ever crosses the sacred threshold. Fives thousand dollars a month is the sum required to maintain this unique feature of a World's fair. Thu bills are duly audited and paid out of thu treasury of the ICxposl- tion company. Last November when Director General Davis removed his headquarters from his down town ofllco into the administration building on tlio grounds' ho was mviteii , by Director of Works Burnhnm to tnku his meals in the refectory. This lie declined to do , choosing rather to nay for his meals ut an ordinary table where his associates and Immediate assistants take theirs and pay for them. Out of this refusal sprang n coolness a break which has never been healed. Truinondoun Motive I'owur. The Allls engine , the leviathan of ma chinery hall , tlio power Unit will sot in motion the countless wheels and shafts and which will bo started by the president of the United States , is being set in place , and it will require live weeks of constant work to .finish tlio job. The great Corliss engine of the Philadel phia exposition , the wonder of that ago , was of MOO horse power. The A11U engine can duvulop II.IXK ) horse power. Thu online alone weighs ! tt5 tons. From fifteen to twenty ears will be required to bring it from Mil waukee , where it was built.

"Hu/rl Klrkc" ut tho'ltciyd , That , it was Faster evening WHS evident nt the Boyd theater last evening from the small audlenco that had assembled to sou "Hazel Klrke , " but Miss 'iJJnlo Kllslor and her company played the good old dr.ima n.s perfectly as if the house had been crowded to its capac Ity. ltdeseivcdto be , for the plnv is nn excellent one and the company presenting it at the Boyd is a notably capa ble one. every member of Ha tried actor. Miss Kllslcr's Hiuel lias all of the old power to comnel the sympal hi.-s of her audience , and there is nnlhlng now to note in the perform ance. And yet there is. Miss Kllslcr last evening wore for the llrst tlmo several tunv gowns , creations of "Winds ir" of New York , marvels of the dress-building art. Mr. ( J.V. . Gouldock , the favorite actor of two generations , played his old part , which he created in this country , Dunslon Kirlte , and in his acting showed all the line power his fame rests on. Mr. Hobcrl Drouet , Mr. Frank Wcston. Mr. Charles F. Hates and all the other members of the company ac quitted themselves admirably. The play was well staged , the now scenery being a notable feature , and so staged and played "Ha/el Kirko" is a drama that can never lose its popularity. "Tim Vondoii" ut thu I'tinuim. The "Voodoo" Is the somewhat enigmat ical title of a very clover farce comedy which opened a four nights engagement at the Farnam Street theater yesterday afternoon and evening. The performance varies In no essential particular from the usual enter tainment of that sort , but is enlivened by exceptionally tresh and sparkling humor and some very pleaslm ; singing and dancing. Tlio cause of all the trouble la Mrs. Gilly Softsoldor , an ultra-superstitious female , who falls under the intluonco of Mine. Diablo , a voodoo nogress , and imbibes tlio belief that by means of seven hairs from Michael O'Br.idy's red whiskers she can win the capital prize in the Louisiana lottery. Her efforts to corr.il O'Brady and secure the much coveted hirsute adornment develops a succession of laughable situations , of which tlio members of tlio cast are clover enough to make the best use. Mrs. Softsoldergots O'Bradand , his friend , Michael McMalion , mixed and the result is no end of Jealousy on the part of Mrs. Mc- Malion and Me. Koftsoldor. Mr. Thomas li. Murray has abundant opportunity to display his inimitable powers in the character of McMalion , and he has a capable ally in .lohn G. Sparks , who assumes thu part of O'Brady. The superstitious female i-j well acted by Miss Ada Uothnor with marked success tn.d her dancing specialties also found favor with the audience. Miss Kitty Beck , as the "B.iby , " .Jennie McMnhon. was very pleas ing and her dancing in the llrst act captured the houso. The other characters are in ca pable hands , and an excellent mixed quartet rendered n number of songs in a commenda ble manner. The entire performance is ex tremely funny and affords a very pleasant evening's entertainment. Court Calendar. The call for today is as follows ; LAW IIOO.M NO.
