The Khaugtiraun Matinee To-Day
There will be a matlnea performance o the
Khaughraun at Ike National this afternoon.
There are undoubtedly a largo number of ladles
who would like to attend if they could do
10 wltbont subjecting themselves to Intuit
at the entrance or tbe theatre. At this
spot, on matinee Jdayi, pimps, gamblers and
men or questionable character congregate appa
rently for tbo sole purpoee of staring ladles out
of countenance. There are few women who
bare th courage to lace their rude
stares without escort. It Is time that tbe police
should regulate this matter. If Richards, the
Chief or Police, hasth time and courage to at
tend to it, four or five police ofnoois might be
stationed in front of too theatre, and ladles
could attend tb matinee performance in safety,

With tbe quarter ten or coal, there U invariably
lent fifty centa' worth of kindling. Incases or
sickoeii, tea and sugar are aducd, but In no case
Is money advanced.

Itsprovlsions there was ene to the effect that
said Library should be open from eight A. M. to
ten o'clock P. M , during week days, an 1 from
two o'clock P. M. till eight o'clock P. M.,on
the Sabbath. Need of such a law or rule con
cernlng Ibis valuable collection has, for a great
while, been felt among the stulenti of this city,
who would gludtyavaifihemietves of the Llbrarv,
but who do not hare tbe chance, as ft is not avail
ubte when they are not unemployed. During tho
hours In which It is now open to tbe public, stu
dents hav duties to perform directly relative to
tbelr studies, and It Is impoiilble for them to
lente,
1 bus It is almost useless to a body ordtlsens
to whom it should be of the greatest utility, and
the news that It was a boat to bo made accessable
was received with great satisfaction by my
brothers, tln mw hat agale grown doubtful, as
It has been neuily twu weeks since any action nai
