Richard 111.
Since this great tragedy received its first
production at the Globe Theatre in London
in 1506, nearly three hundred years ago it
has been the most popular of all Shakes
peare's plays for stage representation.
Richard Burbage was the original imper
sonator of the title role and it has been a fa
vorite part with every famous tragedian since
that time. Edmund Keen, Jonn F. Cook,
Barry Soliivan, the elder Booth, Mavready,
Forrest and McCullough all considered Rich
ard 111., to sfford larger scope for the dis
play of their dramatis talents than any other
role in their repertoire.
Frederick Warde in late years has wou
high distinction for his conception and por
trayal of this character and is said to rank
with bis great predecessors in his interpreta
tion ot it. Mr. Warde supported by his
large company will present Richard 111. at
the Butler Onera House next Monday eveu
ing Sept. 20th.
Opening night—everything new.

The Hartium and London united *hows is
the only circa* th.it ever gives exhibitions in
the great city of New York—tho metropolis
of the nation-which it does every spring,
opening there In Madison S.rjare Garden, a
building 200 leet long by 200 wide. While
in that city it is visited by the highest dig
nitaries of tho country, clergymen, ju !<<:*,
lawyers, doctors, statesmen, foreign minis
ters, consuLs, etc., in fact the best and
wealthiest resident* of tbe country. The
same identical exhibition that was seen there
by 500,000 delighted people, by tho residents
of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
Brooklyn, and every large city of the coun
try, will be »-een here on Wednesday, Oct, 5.
This year Barnum has;provided even a better
and larger show then evirjljefore. There are
100 startling acts, all of which are given in
three rings, upon an elevated stage, aud on
tl)e hippodrome racing-track. There are
three c|rci;s ponj >arjies aud 300 performers,
a museum of living wonders, an aviary, two
menageries, herd of elephants, (jroye of
giant camels, tha wonderful b.'iry family
from Burmah King Theebaw's mascots; Cap
tain Paul Boytou's aquatic performances in a
specially constructed lake of clear water, tbe
flying gymnasium, Jumbo as great as when

citing contest-t and comb its, HO railroad cars,
M cages, 33 golden chariots, 500 horses, num
erous ponies, a pay-roll of over 800 peop'.e,
and inaDy highly sensational European nov
elties. Xt is the grandest show that P. T.
Barnum ever had, and that most certaiulpr
means a most wonderful display of all that is
curious, rare, wouderful, odd, strange, or re
markable in the animal kingdom, all that is
phenomenal in liylug human beings, and ev
erything of an instructive, marvellous, start
liug, or daring character in the way of per
formancea. Teu million people have seen it.
4ud ten million more are going to do so.
The usual pr«o<; admit*, and there are no ex
tra charges for anything.
Shakspeare's Plays.
There is a strong discussion taking
place as to who wrote the plays of
Wm Shakspeare,
People in Butler will not engage ia
that at present. They will bo con
tent to go to their
Opera House on Monday to see on
the Dew stage and with new scenery,
Shakspeare's Richard tbe Third per
formed by Mr Fred Warde aud his
large and talented company.
This will be a great treat which
was impossible on tbe old stage, and
now a crowded bouse is to be looked
for.
Mr* Warde's talent is quite well
known and appreciated here just as in
tbe same way Mr. Warde appreciates
Butler town, Butler men and Butler
ladies. He likes coming to Butler.

The Great Re-Union.
Never before ia the history of But
ler have its people taken so general
and so absorbing an interest
in any one affair as they did
in the proposed re-union of the
11th Regiment of Penn'a Reserves
Never before has the town been so
well decorated, nor have all the de
tails of a complicatsd program work
ed so harmoniously and been so well
carried out. The day broke clear and
fair, and found Butler in gala attire,
with all its people awake to its great
event.
By half-past nine all the organiza
tions were in the vicinity of the in
tersection of McKean and Jefferson
streets, the ."Chief Marshall and bis
aids went to the West Penn depot to
await the arrival of the train with
members of the regiment, and when
it arrived the members formed in line
and marched up street led by Col.
Jackson and Major Burke on horse
back. Arriving in front of the Jef
ferson street school building, the
school children broke out with the
song, "My Country 'Tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Liberty." They
sang beautifully, and the regiment
stopped and listened to and applaud
ed them. The proceaaion then form
ed as follows—Major Reed and aids
on horseback,, county and borough
officials, and citizens in carriages,
Germania Band of Butler, 11th Reg.
Penn'a Reserves on foot numbering
about 300 and led by Col. Jackson
and Maj. Burke an horseback, G. A.
R. band of Bntler, members of G. A.
R and old soldiers of Butler county
numbering about 500 in line. Mt.
Chestnut Band, Soldier's Orphans
from Butler home, and Butler lire
Companies in uniform. The route as
advertised was marched over, all the
strangers admiring the beautiful
arches, motte3 and decorations, and
when the parade arrived in front of
the Court House, formed with the
members of the 11th nearest the
speaker's stand—the front steps of
the Court House—the old soldiers of
the county in tho rear of them aod
the men on horseback back of them
They closed ia around the steps, and
the thousands of people who were
there to hear the speeches closed
around them. TLo choir, consisting
of 75 members selected from the
church choirs of the Butler churches,
sang the "Battle Cry of Freedom,"
tho soldiers joining in the chorus.
Then Col. Sullivan introduced L Z.
Mitchell, Esq., who made a very
good address of" welcome. The choir
sang "Marching Through Georgia,"
aud everybody joiued iu the chorus
with a will.
Col. Sullivan then introduced Col.
S. M. Jackson, whom the regiment
had selected to respond to the address
of welcome. He came forward and
made a sensible and feeling address,
giving a short history of the regiment
and ending with a beautiful compari
son of the soldier's faith and hope in
the future of this nation to his faith
and hope in the Redeemer's cross.
Tho choirjthen sang " When Johnny
Comes Marching Home Again," and
the regiment was asked to open
ranks so that the members of the re
ception and entertainment committees
could introduce the members of the
regiment to those who were to enter
tain them.
They went to dioner, and at 2 p
m., had a business meeting in the
court-room and an address by Col.
McCleary.
During the morning a twelve
pound brasa field piece was discharg
ed from the hill top sooth of town,
and that afternoon it was brought
to town and fired on the
Diamond, thus adding to
tho din and clatter of the oc
casion, and at 4 p. m. the members of
the regiment arranged themselves on
the Court House step 3 and bad their
picture taken.
There was no dress parade at 0 P.
M as advertised for the reason that the
soldiers were all at tea, but the Court
Room was crowded shortly after 7 P.
M Col Jackson was called upon to
preside, the choir sang ".Vly Country
'tis of Thee",and Gen. McCoy of Ty
rone wus called upon. He announc
ed that ho was getting up a history
of the regiment and would be pleased
to have information from all, and
theu read a graphic account of th<j
battle of Fredericksburg in general
and the part acted by the 11th in par
ticular, the choir sang ".Juat before
the battle," and Ma] Sloan was in
troduced, who complimented tho re
ception and gave an account of the
part taken by the 11 th at Gettys
burg, and thought that the regiment
had notbejn treated fairly by histor
ians. Maj. Burke was then called
for and although the time fixed for
the banqnet had arrived, he insisted
upon giving bis pant and shirt tail
Btory, and did se to tbe great amuse
ment of the boys. Col. Sullivan now
came in and informed Col. Jackson
tbat the coffee was getting cold, and
tbe ladies getting impatient so tbe reg
iment formed hastily and marched to
the Rink, and took their seats.
The chairman, Col. Sullivan, rap
ped for order at 9:35 P. M. and called
upon Rev. Loyal Young to ask a
blessing.
The Rink was lighted with electric
lights, handsomely decorated with
evergreans, flags, and corps and divi
sion badges; the thirteen tables were
beautifully furnished, and were filled
with an abundance of cold meats,
cakes and fruits, the whole making as
grand a spectacle as one would wish
to see, and refecting great credit up
on tbe ladies and tbe committees.
Hot coffee was provided, and every
body fell to eating and drinking,
while tbe choir sang various patriotic
songs. Tbe soldiers onjoyed tbe ban
quet. They met the enemy and it
was theirs.
At 1 the chairman rapped tot
order, and called for John M. Greer,
Esq., to respond to the toast "Our
Guests." The chairman bad to rap
loa< and 1 )ud to secure a tolerable
silence for everybody seemed inclined
to talk, and then John came forward
and made a first rat<9 speech, welcr til
ing tbe Regiment, praising tbe Na
tion, and making a good comparison
betwean this government aud a mil
itary government like Germany.
The Chairman then announced
that several of tho speakers down on
the program —Ex-Gov. Curtin, Judge
Agnew, Harry White and Chill Haz
%ard were not present and that tho
responses would be made by home
talent.
Col, Thompson was oalled upon to
respond to the toast "Tbe Penn'a
Reserves," aud though he made a
rousing speech,giving a history of tbe
Reserves, and making some eloquent
passages, there was so much noise
made by people talking and tbe ladies
clearing off their tables tbat he could
Dot be heard at a table's length.
Rev. Prugh responded to the toast
"The Sauitary and Christian Com
mission." He was on the original
program and bad prepared a history
of the sanitary work done during tbe
war, and though he mounted a chair
and spoke with his full force, it was
utterly impossible to catch a sentence
he uttered twenty feet from him, so
great was the clatter and talk around.
Th« chahman rapped in vain for
order aid bid the choir get together
and "Teatiug To-uigbt on tha
old Camp Ground," and " after that
called on Chaa McCandless, Esq,
to respond to "Pennsyl
vania in the War." Char
ley started in, but the choir were feel
ing that way themselves atid started
in too on "John Brown's Body." a id
• Giory Hallelujah," and though the
speaker worked away for all that was
in him, the odds were against him
and nobody heard a lull sentence he
said.
Thos Robinson Esq was on the
general program to respond to "The
"Press", and had prepared an elegant
address, proving that the pen was
mighter than the sword, aad a great
many other thiusj.*, but the choir just
then had to 'March through Georgia'
and there was no stopping them and
with the assistance of a majority of
the people present they won a great
victory, and Robinson could not be
heard at a distance of five feet, and it
was the same with the
balance of the speakers —no-
body heard them, excepting a few
around the end of one table.
Gen. McCoy praised the reception
and said he would always com) to
Butler when he wanted to have a
good time. Maj Cuanigham praised
the entertainment, which he describ
ed aa"royal," and called our ladies
Queens of the Kitchen; Ruubeu Me
Elvain told his "Old Dutchman" sto
ry, the choir sang about the place
the "Old Folk's Stay" and we all
went home.
We talked to several soldiers from
a distance and they all described this
reception as being the grandest regi
mental reception they ever attended
or heard of.
NOTES.
More than to any other oue man,
the success of the Re-union is due to
Col. Sullivan of the Committee of
Arrangements, who was uuceasiug in
his efforts to make it so.
The P. & W. R R. is entitled to
credit for its couriesits,and R P. Scoit,
Esq. for securing the ciun >n
The members of ail the Committees
worked faithfully, as was s'aowa by j
the completeness of all the details.
Gen. "Dick"' Coulter of Greeasbar.'
and Gen R. A. McCoy of TyroU'i
aud Rev. Young were here.but .Judge
Agnew, Harry White, Chill Hazzird.
Ex-Gov. Curtia and others who were
expected were not here.
There were thirteen tables in the
Rink each 24 feet long, and seating
thirty persons, all the chairs were
occupied, but the tables were so well
laden with provisions that baskets
full had to be carried away. All the
tables were well furnished and deco
rated. and no distinction could possi
bly be made unless it was in favor of
No. 8, the beautiful ladies of which
exerted themselves to the utmost.
Capt. Will Mechling of our mili
tary company, entertained all the
members of his Co. who live out of
towu. Lt J. W. Campbell of Grove
City, a member of the lltb Reserves,
and bis friend, arrived at his homo
Monday evening, but was taken sick
next day and had to be sent home.
By some overeight no entertain
ment was provided for the old Sol
diers of the County, other than mem
bers of tho 11th Reserves. There
should have been a dinner for all that
day.
The Constitutional Centenni
al.
The Centennial Celebration of tbe
Signing of the Federal Constitution,
at Philadelphia last week, was a
great success and it was so big an af
fair, that it is impossible for us to
give a detailed account of it. Tbe
city was crowded with hundreds of
thousands of strangers,many of whom
had to sleep in tbe streets at night.
On Thursday tbe event of the day
was the Trades Display, intended to
illustrated the progress made by tbe
Nation during the century by an im
mense procession down Broad street,
the principal Btreet, running North
and South through the town. It is
estimated that half a millon people
were'on the street that day to see the
procession, of which tbe Volunteer
Firemen, the displays; of the Penu'a
11. R., illustrating the progress made
in the methods of travel, that of the
Baldwin Locomotive works, the tex
tile workers, the secret societies, and
some of those made by the merchants
of the town were tbe most conspicu
otfH. The parade was very long,
taking six and one-half hours to pass
a given point. Large numbers of
stands were erected along tho streets,
from one of which the Governors of
twenty-three states viewed the pa
rade, and it was noted that oue
wcaltbly woman, who leased the iM
and .'ld story windows of a hotel
along the street for the benefit of h.tr
