A leading magazine repeats the story
of a Vermont fanner, who, on a visit
to city relatives, is taken to hear a cele
brated actor and company. On being
asked his opinion of the acting, he re
plied, “Acting! they didn’t do no act
ing, they were just like home folks.
Why down in my part of the country
people do that sort of thing every
night!” It Is needless to remark that
more sincre praise could not be asked
by an actor. It is this same absenee
of "acting” which characterizes the
methods of Hennessy Leroyle in ‘‘Oth
er People’s Money.”

cent minstrels, which will hold the
boards tonight at the opera house, we
would like to Inform the loyers of
music that this is the only attraction
of Its kind carrying two complete bands
Of soloists.
It ie a very hard matter to engage a
band of such musicians for the reason
that they are very scarce and when un
der contract always get largo salaries,
their services being sought for by man
agers who appreciate the fact that "it
not pay Jo carry an Incompetent
musician because he can be gotten
cheap.
The company’s bandmaster, Mr. W.
F, "MssOa, ft most conscientious gen
tleman, ttstpg e-ery precaution to
guard against being shrroundod by
bad musicians, has chosen bis men
from the best known soloists, and Is
now rewarded for his hard work by
having the distinction of directing the
best band connected with any traveling
organization. This wonderful band
will give a grand concert on the day of
the company’s appearance on the street
in their big parade,

The Captain Has Not Yet Submits
ed His Report, but This is Of
ficially Given Out.
A special in yesterday’s Atlanta

says:
“Capt. Gillette's recommendation
for Brunswick harbor is the appropria
tion of 1130,000, all but $26,000 of
which is to go for a large dredge. He
thinks that this $25,000 is enough to in

built, and with SIO,OOO additional a
year for maintenance
There ie a disposition on the part of
some ef those interested in the Bruns
wick work to doubt whether this will
prove satisfactory, as they think it will
ttke some time to bnild the dredge,
and that something should be done for
the bar in the meantime. The Gillette
report is not yet made public, but this
is understood to contain the recom
mendations stated above.
