How a Swell Reception and a dog Fight LOOKED IN A SUNDAY PAPER j The Editor Wore his Coat of tar an! Feathers Most Gratefully Says the‘ Man Abent Town.” Mr, 8., a wealthman of S —. had given his two sons who had graduated at Yale, with high hon ors, a reseption. Being a good pat ron of the paper the Editor wrote up an elaborate description for Sunday’s edition. Unfortunately a dog fight had occurred during the day, and the ambitious reporter wrote up the fight in an, ala E. W. Bruffey sty le, aud both descriptions were handed the one printer to set up. Being in a bad humor on account of the editor refusing to raise his salary, he desired a scheme to get even, and as he was also proof reader it was easy to accomplish his feat. This is how the lovely descrip tion of the reception, and the dog fight appeared in Sunday’s edition : “One of the most delightful a id beautiful affairs ever given in S —. was the Dog fight held at the ele gant home of the highly esteemed Mr. 8., co : plimentary to his two sons who returned home form Col kg°. having graduated wth the highest honors, Both are strikingly handsome young men and favoring their fath er but of different type of beauty. Oue was a yellow cur and the oth er a brindle hound and it did not take a second glance to convince the crowd that they had fighting blood running through their veins. Both were very poor, and looked as if they had not had any food for months. No pains or expense had been spared in the preparations, but it came to an untimely (n ’ as the police swooped down on the crowd. By eight o’clock all the vehicles available commenced to drive up to the house, and a ring was soon formed. As the young men made their appearance, it was evident from the start that there was n < love lest between them, for they walked around each other, glaring and growling in a savage manner, the bristles on their necks rising higher and higher every instant. As the guests came forward to congratulate them on their success a growl from each announced trouble was brewing. Here a pret ty scene occurred, Miss A. a rela tive of the family was the last to approach, and as she extended her hand to the younger Mr. B. the cur grabbed her by the right ear which brought forth a series of howls and growls from the bound, but by using her teeth and paws she managed to shake tho cur aloose, and both returned to their corners. With blood slowly trickling down her face, from the wounded ear, she at the same time extend-d her other nand to the elder Mr. B. saying allow me to congratulate you both on your brilliant record at college. In reply—The hound jumped on her with both feet, and succeeded in getting a firm grip on the back of her neck, and shook her uut.l her teeth rattled, and only let loose when supper was announced. As the guest were ushered into the spacious and b -autifully deco rated room, a beautiful sight m t their paz >, as the dogs approached each other for the third round, and as the guest took their seat each was givin a piece of raw m< at, t® stre igt ten the n fer the fintl struggle. When Mr. B. arrose to deliver the address of welcome, he was at first a little embarrassed, and s e he paused for an instant, the hound made a spring but missed his distance, but soon recoveriifg. proceeded to deliver one of the most beautiful addressed heard since the hcund first made his ap pearance, As he started to take his seal the cur grabbed her by the right fore leg and both rolled on the ground together amidst, the long and loud applause of the crowd. As Mies A. attempted to reach for the cake, h r sb eve caught her Rlass upsetting her wine. Seeing her embarre-sm >ut th* elder Mr. B. made a joking remark to relieve her when the cur lit on him with both feet and made the fur fly, and Miss B. gave him a grateful look for coming to her re lief. As the guest arroee from the ta ble a squabble commenced as to which one whipped and the fight became general and was only •♦topped before blood was shed bv the arrival of the police who es corted them all to toe “cooler 1 * all present regretted when Home Sweet Homo was p'ayed and as they marched towards the lockup they pressented a sickly spect acle.” To say Mr. B. was indignant and the editor hot was bur mild ly expressingit and before he could explain the citizens dealt with him according to the customs of the town. The Printer is now running the paper on a paying basis and strange to say his concience does not hurt him on hi* patronage. Man About Town. AFTER DARK. A MOST EFFECTIVE PLAY AT OPERA HOUSE MONDAY NIGHT FEB. 14. “After Dark” splendidly staged and capably acted, drew a big au dience at the People’s Theater last night. “The play takes its characters through many night scenes in the world’s metropolis, One of the most effective incidents is thenar row escape of the hero from death on the underground railroad of London. “The flash of the engine's head light already lights up the scene when the rescue comes. “Another event of the play is Old Tom’s bold leap from theb?at into the river Thames (realistical reproduced by a tank of real water) to save the heroine from drowning. The above is a clipping from the Philadelphia News of Dec. 3, 1893 This interesting melodrama, the property of Win A Brady, Mana ger of Jarnos J. Corbett, champion of the world, will be seen at the Opera House cn Monday night elaborately presented. McCARTHYS MISHAPS AT NEVINS OPERA HOUSE TUESDAY NIGHT FEB 20th. Christmas, New Years.

So it is with the annual presentation of “McCarthys Mis haps.” The moment ii is announc ed, theatre goers are imbued with an expectancy of laughter. It has been seen here, and each time has proved a more meritorious per formance. The players are always novel, and with a theme so funny as “McCarthy’s Mishaps” to work on, it cannot be otherwise. This season, many numbers that are sure to prove exceptionally fim have been added to the ensemble, and it is one ot the strongest pre senting farce comedy, Barney Furgerson, funny in personality and methods, is still the little Irishman who is never out of trou ble. William Carroll, who was Mr. Furgersou's first support, has re turned to the East. Birry Maxwell, the well-known commedian, Bar ney Reynolds, a mimic of note.

The iuterpo 1 tions are interwoven with farci cal situations in away that do not conflict with the action of th* farce, which is a continual round of merriment from beginning to end, and it is a sure cure for cyui cle feelings.
