Mr. Potter has made "Trilby" a play that fairly teems with the action and dra matic effect. The story is told in a com prehensive, straight-forward manner. Every situation is reasonable and uatural thero are no anti-climaxes, no repetitions, no extraneous theatrical all times. Mr. Potter has followed the book rather more faithfully that is tha custom with the average dramatist. Most of the charac ters have been reproduced with woader ful fidelity. Little Billee, Taffy and the Laird are" Du Maurier's portraits brought to life. is depicted with horrible realism, Gecko is the same weird, pitiable specimen of a musical enthusiast that the book portrays. Jolly Zou Zoa, reckless Dodor and tho half Uoien other minor characters which have become so well known and admired by the public are all graphically represented. Regarding Triloy there will bo a differ ence of opinion, that is as to her relation to Du Maurier's "Trilby," as to herself Ml will agree that the stage "Trilby," is thoroughly charming. For the sake of dramatic effect, Mr. Potter has changed "Trilby's" character to tho extent of mak ing her weaker in her love for Little Billee than was the original. She does not mqko a -willing sacrifice for her lover's sake, she is taken away from him by tho hypnotic art of Svengali. This may not be so noble, but it is certainly more in ac cord with human nature- In other re spects the stage character does not differ materially from that of the book, though of course, it is not possible to present all the varying shqdes of "Trilby's" charming nature so graphically described b7 Du Maurier. A company of admirable players have been brought together by Manager Palmer for the interpretation of "Trilby." Every role is taken by a competent person, and thero is an attention to minor details that is most commendable. "Trilby" will be presented at the Park Opera House on Saturday the 19th Decollete Dresses Down South. A popular and well-known lady of cen tral Mississippi visited New Orleans at the MardiGras for the first time.

It is generally suppi-sed that the Pitts burg aud Shenango K. K. will be extended from Butler to Fitt-burg this summer. A Greenville dispatch says that the linancia! part of the program was arranged in Xew York, the sum ot £4,000,000 lieing guar anteed by a syndicate. The immense freight carrying contracts recently made with the Carnegie interests will require nearly double the present number of train men "and shop employes, nearly all of whom will live in Greenville. One of ; three routes from Butler to Pittsburg is under consideration, and the final surveys will be made at once. The route from Butler will probably be down the west side of the creelf to Thorn Creek or Glado Hun and up it and then down one of the branches of Bullcroek to the Allegheny river The route as surveyed through the south end of Butler annihilates both the I, J. Mc- Candless and John X. Patterson houses, crosses tne creek on a high bridge, and tunnels through the hill on the south side. Regarding tho new road Mr Caruegie is quoted as follows: As to his reported deal with President Dick of the Pittsburg, Shenango A Lake Erie railroad, hn said: <- It isnot a new road. It is only an extension of the lino that now exists, which gives its traffic to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Butler. Last year it took eighteen days upon an average for tho cars to make the trip be tween Butler and Pittsburg, a distance of about 80 miles, and we had great difficulty in getting 1 the neccessary supply of ore. Pre-ident Dick obtained $5,000,000 to ex tend his lino to our work- at Braddock. It was the key to the back door of Pitts burgh. "Our new furnace at Duquesne will re quire more than 1,000,000 tons of orejevery year, and with the additional facilities obtained by the new direct line, we shall be able to get it promptly. '•lt is no new competing line. We have \ always received a large part of our oro | over it. Even with the improved line, I think '.hat we shall be hard pushed with oxisting facilities to get all the ore we require. We new use about 9,000 tons a day, an amount that wiil give all the rail roads plenty to do. "We could not get along without the extension of the Dick road. When busi ness is active, as it was a portion of last year, we could hardly get enough ore to run the old furnaces. "Pittsburg needs additional railroad fa cilities. It is always in trouble when a boom comes " THE HABIT OF wearing good clothes is a good habit and our clothes are good habits We want to help you lorm this good habit.
