__ A Bank Account
t0ooo Just aA soon as a man opens a bank ac
count, he begins to be a little better man
than he was before.
He is a better man and a better citizen.
He acquires standing in the community.
The man who pays his bills with a check
is looked upon as a man with an account at
a bank. It makes no difference whether
the account is large or small. The man
who gets the check doesn't know that. He
simply appreciates the fact that you have money in the
bank. It increases his respect for you and his confidence
in you.
All this advantage cost you nothing. You need simply
to open an account.
To-day is a good day to open an account.

Excellent Plays.
The Minister's Son, the play which
was presented at our opera house last
Saturday night proved beyond a
doubt to be the best attraction seen
in our opera house this season. Mr.
Patton as Simon Ray, the Minister's
Son, was splendid. He is handsome
and eloquent and his acting is natunr
alness itselt Every one in the cast
were exceptionally strong and that
the play was much enjoyed was evi
denced in many ways.
Hennessey Leroyle in Other Peo
ple's M ney was rendered at the
opera house Sunday night. The play
was good and in fact very strong.
The audience was kept spell bound in
laughter. Mr. Leroye is undoubtedlyl
a commedian much above the ordiun
ary and those who did not see this
performance missed seeing a splendid
actor, an actor of unquestionable
merit.
The Herald Square Opera company
was given Monday night, to a very
large crowd notwithstanding .he in
clemency of the weather. The opera I
was enjoyed and was much appieciat.
ed by all present It was a change
to the natuhal run of our theatrical
entertainments and was high!y wel- I
comed by the audience.
The opera house management de.
serves good deal of credit and praise I
for having given the people such first I
class pertormances of high order since 1
the beginning of the new year 1902.
The management has been indefatiga.
ble in its efforts to secure good
troupes, and we are glad to say, that
it has succeeded to the entire satis.
faction of the people.
