He says Fitzsimmons will have a chance to win with Corbett, as there is ljttle difference in the men except weight Anjr carelessness on, the part of either may decide the, winner. However, Sullivan seems to think that men will never come together, as Corbett is making lots of money and will not care to risk his title of champion. But if the men ever do meet, Sullivan says it will be at New Orleans, where they can at least pull off a twenty-five round fight, which is long enough to get a decision if the men want to fight.

Artichokes have been used in some localities as hog food many years; in some parts of Illinois ten or twelve years, and are growing in favor.

For a single bulb (and we prefer growing them singly in pots) a five inch pot is replied: "Oh, there were not so many clever fellows them days as there are now." As to the talk of his meeting the winner, Sullivan said: "I'll fight any of them if I get into shape. I'm not drinking now, and with four to six months' good hard work I could get into shape.

Of the opera hardly so much can be said. It is an adaptation by William Furst and Clay Greene, and while it is bright and tuneful it is thin in interest for the star; there is not enough for Miss Fox 1 to do.

A tinsmith in the village was ordered to make a number of canisters with covers. The canisters-were filled with all sorts of suitable-tree seeds. The cannon was loaded and the canisters were fired up against, the high face of the rock. They burst and scattered the seed in all directions.

Miss Fox is so thoroughly in earnest and anxious to please that it is a pity her part lias not been built upon a larger scale; still she is to be commended for having surrounded herself with an excellent company, and above all, upon having two such admirable actors as Jeff d'Angelis and Paul Arthur. "The Little Trooper" is splendidly staged and costumed. As her immediate neighbor Miss Fox had Mr. Francis Wilson at Abbey's theater, as Melissen in "The Devil's Deputy.

Looking back at all the productions this actor has been associated with in a stellar capacity, I think "Dr. Syntax" is the best, cleanest and brightest of them all.

Mr. Hopper's support, too, is first class, Edna Wallace Hopper, Bertha Waltzinger aud Jennie Goldthwaite all doing capital comedy work. Miss Waltzinger deserves a special word of praise for her artistic singing; her voice is fresh and musical, she handles it with considerable skill, and has the good sense not to force it out of its register. All three of these comic operas have this season departed from the accepted type and dispensed with the ladies who have been clad in a shield, a smile and a spear; there are none such in "Dr. Syntax," and so few in "The Little Trooper" or "The Devil's Deputy" that they are hardly a flower must have real merit.
