"The Vendetta"' is lo be presented at Harper's theatre tonight and will beyond a doubt be witnessed by a lsre audience. The Eas'.on (Pa.) Express e&fsof this excellent production: A large audience attended the per formance of "The Vendetta" last night. "The Limited Mail" packed the house the night before. It is seldom Etston 09 the opportunity of seeing two ouch re rrarkahle productions in as many days. "The Vendetta" is to the sea what "The L mited Mail" is lo the rail. Both pro duciionsare masterpieces. Both plays are stories of deep heart interest. 1$ th companies have created sensations here, and bo'h will be wel-omed by overflow inn bouses should they return. Let us hope they will. Tomorrow night the Ariel-Thomas combination is to appear at Harper's the atre unc"er the auspices of the K ick Isl and Lecture assocu'ion.

She is really an actress a natural and cultivated ar tist, although scarcely 11 years old. There is nothing of the juvenile amateur or mere reciter about her. 1L r u.emory is plienominsl, ard shell's into ?ho parts She a'Surm-3 with such naturalness and skill that her audiences arc rtmrmed scd astonished. The play is exceedingly in teresting and admirib'y adapted from Msrk Twain's clever story. The Amercan comedy "A Barrel of Money," was produce J in Omaha wetk before last and is sp.,krn of as foilows by the Omaha World-Hi raid: The first pre sentation of -'A Barrel of Monej"irt Omaha was Given at the Grand opera house last night. Oje of the largest audiences of the season was present a: d the play was enthusiastically received. The " Barrel of Money- is a highly inter estirR comedy with a plot that c ff rs just enough tragedy to raise it above the ordinary plays of the kind. Several thrilling situations are introduced and are succeeded by a clash of fun and music before the audit nee has had litre to tire of the more classical scenes. The company is an exceptionally good one and without exception Fustained their parts admirably."' It will be at Harper's theatre Saturday niht. ANDALUSIA.

Now this seems in cmsistent as it would give the company 42 cents cash, whereas it now giveR them but 36 cents, and certainly the difference in cash wnula be trore acceptable than the old books which to the company must be comparatively uselesg Nevertheless, we have accepted tbe terms as tbey are, or have been given us.

This is a medical institute coming to our city well recommended, the physicians having received their diplomas from the best medical colleges in the United States as well as in foreign countries, and it has come to stay as can be proved by the contracts they have made which are without exception by the year. The physicians have decided to place the price of treatment within the reach of the poor as well as the rich. They treat all diseases with marked success with their specialties.
