"Now you read this to me," 6aid he,
handing the manuscript to Hie stu
dent. The student tangled himself up
in the first three lines and admitted
his defeat. Mr. Cleveland laughed
good naturedly and dictated the inter
view. When it was ended, the stu
dent gathered up the pages which
Cleveland had written. "Why?" asked
Grover. "Oh, because," replied the
student.

THE THEATRE
The Funke, which opens this week,
has been recarpeted, thoroughly
Cleaned and electric lights added. Un
der the management of Mr. Zehrung
the house will have the most brilliant
and successful season yet. The office
has been moved from the corner to a
convenient room fronting on Twelfth
street in the rear of the opera house.
The Qouritr wishes Mt. Zehrung the
success his hard work and intelligent
study of theatrical business deserves.
People do not go to the theatre to
be educated. The failure of some of
our best tragedy stars has proven that
fact. But they go to be amused and
' it is for amusement purposes only, u
get wholesome fun, unbounded laugh
ter, and to refresh their ears with the
brightest of popular music, that the
Harry Martell Merry Makers produce
their ridiculously funny rarce comer
dies all next week at the Funke. At
a dinner given o Robinson and Crane
some years ago at Delmonicos', Col.
Robert G. Ingersol, in proposing the
health of the foremost artist, struck
the keynote of public opinion in one
of his characteristic speeches. Speak
ing of the theatre," he said: "For my
self, I enjoy comedy the best. When
I go to the theatre, I go to laugh with
my fellowmen, and I had raer look
upon a scene of happiness, than mis
ery. In the serious drama we seem
tofeel the sorrows, trials and tribula
tions of the actor, but in comedy,
where every sceine is cheerful with
the bright side f life, and unbounded
fun prevails, we seem to forget our
worries, and the world seems happier
for our having cast aside our dignity
and laughing at the absurdities of hu
manity." Ladies' and children's matinee Sat
urday afternoon. Indies free Monday
night.
Undoubtedly the comedy event of
season will be the engagement of Har
rV MarteU's Merry Makers at Funke's
opera Irause for one week, commenc
ing Monday next. The company car
ried by Mr. Martell this season sur
passes any efforts of his long mana
gerical career. The artists are piked
-from among the foremost ranks of
the profession, and comprise -many of
National reputation. Such si galaxy of
Vgh class artists, the foremost expon
ents of American farce, assures a se
ries of performances of unusual merit.
Every play overflows with the wit and
humor, while intermingled wuth the
side splitting situations of the come
des, the -very latest songs, catchy med
leys anil artastis dances will be intro
duced, ladies free Monday night.
