Saturday morning he found books and

filthy to be repeated. At first he believed

Iv. While they admit that the pranks
may be those of boys they cannot under
stand why boys would ' want
dictionaries and school books.
As disposition could be made of them
only under suspicion, and as
tho vicinity knows of strange books, the
veisiou of the public department that tho
work was committed by men is given the
more credence. But with the abundance

A Disa;>pointed Inventor.
I have met many visionaries who have
threatened to revolutionize the cable
toe by their telephonic triumphs.
An Italian inventor experimented ou ono !
of our Atlantic cables, and I had tho honor
to assist him. He brought a complicated
machine, which he exhibited and diluted
with all art Inventor's enthusiasm.
What, did I think of it? With diplomatic
caution I said, "It might work I"
In the wee small hours, when the cable
Was "clear," this affable Italian nobleman
and myself took possession of the "string"
and worked at tiro invention like Trojans.
So tne times the signals reached tho other
end, sometimes they did not. Ills sur,*r»<r

Jolly Petoi* F. Dailey will be the attrac
tion at the Opera House this evening
when he will present his successful
by John J. McNally, entitled "A
Good Thing." Mr. Dailey's abilities as a
comedian are too well known to require
any special mention at this late day. He
is original and unique, and to a bright
and broezy personality ho adds a natural
ness of manner and happiness of spirit
that are Infectious. They serve always to
keep his audience iu good humor. His
significant gestures and qualutnos* of ex
pression are also peculiar to him. and lie
is utterly unlike any ono else on the stago;
ho is, lu fact, quite iu a class by himself.
As he ts a prime tavorite everywhere, It
must undoubtedly be a good class. There
Is a breezy suggsstiveness iu the title of

"Miss Philadelphia" will be theattra
tion at tho Grund Opera House on next
Thursday Evening. ' Miss Philadelphia"
wnilo a travesty Is not ashamed of a plot or
ruthor a little story. Tho Interest of tho
ieco centers around William Penn and
is descendant William Penn, Jr. The
latter is a very lively, up-to-date, young
; the blue blood of whoso veins does
not prevent him from seelugand enjoying
life In a very democratic manner. Weary
with tho fatigue of a night's frolio.be falls
into a deep sleep. In his dream the ghost
of his famous Ancestor, the elder Penu
comes vividly before him. Hi* statue ou
tho tower or New City Hall Building
takes into itself life, uiul stops down to
earth to seethe sigh I s of the city by the
Schuylkill. Two hundred years have mode
a vast. diiTorenco in the city since ho and
tho Indian smoked the pipe of pence
ill yours gone by, in fact, he Is completely
iosoiu the mazy whirl of the up to-date
town; therefore ills descendant tho youu
f or Penn prefers Ills services ns a guide,
'ogethcr they see ; ho sights which affords
consistent opportunity for the Introduc
tion of the many song-, dances and spec
ialties with which the travesty abounds.
Young Penn is in love with Miss Sprln
gallon, whose gi (ireful charms t ml typical
loyalty to her Quaker home and Puritani
cal ideas have given her tho non do pi
of "Miss Philadelphia". She reciprocates
the affection of tho reckless Penn, Jr., but
strongly objects to his wild, halrita. His
brief acquaintance with his Illustrious
oestor works wonders for i ho young
and while not ready on tho instant to
abandon his old habits, sets him to moral
izing, and while iu .his happy frame of
mind, lie wakes from his sleep to find it
alia dream, but the dream has accom
plished Its mission, and he gains the heart
and hand of ".Miss Philadelphia." Tho
elder Penn In tho meantime 1ms been led
a very lively gait by his young descendant,
and comes to the conclusion that tho
Philadelphia of to-day is not suited to his
Puritanical notion and ideas.
