TWO SOULS. AND SO FORTH.
Just in front of the man and
his wife at the theater sat a couple
of fledgelings billing and cooing in
a most loving manner. They would
.have whispered little conferences,
and then the girl would blush and
jiggle, and gaze at the young man,
and he would look of] toward the

ts >n that, was positively delicious,

her in his life.
Then he would turn suddenly
id gaze upon her with a tender
ness that would melt in the mouth
of a stone statue. They had come
to see the play, no doubt, but
tl» y ha 1 evidently forgotten what
they were shere for, and they didn’t
■how any signs, as the time wore
on, that they would recollect it.
The man had been dividing at
tention between the performance
•n the stage and that before him.
•nd finally his wife bent over and
whispered to him, as she nodded
toward the couple :
“Two souls with but a single
thought. ”
“Bosh,’’ he responded in a tone
of strong disappoval, ‘‘they haven’t
got half that many.”

The Sw II Minstrels coming.
One of the very best minstrels
extant, and one of the finest out
fits that money can produce, is
that »f Hi Henry’s minstrels of
forty well known stars who ap
pear at the opera bouse Monday
Dec. 31st. will be remembered by
our citizens as given w hen here be
fore one of the finest entertain
ments of the kind ever seen in our
city.
The East Saginaw, (Mich )Cour
ier-Herald says of their recent ap
pearance in that city: “Hi Henry
has an excellent minstrel show, as
every one of the audience at the
Academy of Music will attest.
Those who braved the cold rain
and the chilling winds ware amply
repaid for their trouble, as the
performance moved with • dash
and a spirit well fitted to drive
away the depressing effects of the
storm.
Matt Diamond, George D. Lamb
son and Master Edward Percy
sang in an entertaining manner,
and Larry Mack took the house y
storm with his gags.
J. Marcus Doyle and Frank Mc-
Nish made a diverting j air of en
tertainer , the la'ter being well re
membered here for his dancing.
Hugh McVey swung the clubs in a
very clever fashion, and the second
part of the show opened with a se
ries of shadowgraphs which some
how never seem to lose their at
tractiveness .
Frank McN’ r h has for years been
unrivaled in hie acrobatic special
ty which he calls “Silence and
Fun,” and he could never have
satisfied the audience last night
judging by the way they encored
him.
The three Rexfords did two turns
of a gymnastic nature which were
enthusiastically received and Hi
Henry’s band and his cornet play
ing made a acceptable close
for an evening’s enjoyment.
