TtULIiY, SATUttDAY, Al'ttlL 18th. Arrangements have boon completed whereby tho greatest success of tho ago, Du Maurier's famous play "Trilby" with all its magnificent scenery, costume 3, music and stage garniture, together witti A. M. Palmer's great dramatic company, which made it so popular in New York and Boston, will visit Butler, Pa, on April 18th. This will be tho only visit bore ol "Tril by" as the company has engagements to play tqe large Western cities immediately at the conclusion of its Eastern tour. "Trilby" is a strange, weird, powerful, in tensely interesting play, admirably acted at every point, beautifully staged and re ceived with the greatest possible enthusi asm everywhere. Never have audiences been more demonstrative at the end of a play, and never was it watched with more interest in the developement of a drama tic story. If "Trilby" had never been published, but Du Maurier had given to Air. I'tiul Potter a plot to work out, the play would attain a wonderful success. As it is, it will be surprising indeed if "Trilby" does not mako a record which is remarkable in the annals of the American stage. The acting was a source of genuine pleasure there was not a weak spot in the entire cast. This grand production will be given at tho Park Theatre, on Saturday evening with all tho original effects under the direction ol William A. Brady.

Tho usual yearly reports will be made by the 34 churches ot this Presbytery, at thia meeting. The lecture of Rev. Mosheim Rhodes in the ne«v Grace English Lutheran Church of this place oj Monday evening, wa-i one of the greatest treats our people have had for a long time. His subject was ,:Ban yaa and his Times," and after it was heard all thought mora of John Buayan and Pil grim's Progress, than ever they had before. Rev. Rhodes is certainly one of the most elegant and eloquent word-paintsrs we have in our broad land. New Shirts For Votes. ' Women's rote wili purify politics.' ThK says the "Foiuaa/'is the new wo man's favorite cry. Not long since a pro niinoat equal-suffrage lecturer, while earn estly setting forth this claim and enlarging on the shameless manner in which ra-m candact elections, declared that woman's chaste and reUued influence was the only thing that could change the present un desirable condition of affairs. She was not ashamed however, to relate, previous to the close of her lecture, that a short time before, her sister had indnced her family's hited man to vote tor a ooriaia measure by presenting him, on the eve of election with a half-dozen new shirts, made by her own hands. The absurdity of this incident reaohed a climax when it was noticed that in a large audience of womon, few saw anything wrong in the female bribery. The fair speaker omittod to inform her audience whether or not this was to be tho prevailing mode of political publication, when one-half of the burdens of State rest on female shoulders. But, as women never lack expedients, some puri fying process, less laborious than shirt making, mar soon be devised. An Invention to Beat the Bicycle- An invention has been made which threatens to leave even the bicycle in the shade. It is a pneumatic road combining the leading features of both the bicycle and the roller skate.

These wheels are three and a half inches in di ameter, lifting the skater that much above the grouud; The skates are fixed firmly to the wenrer's ntikles. The skates are pronounced veritable seven league boots by those who tried them.—They will enable the skater to travel 12 to 15 miles an hour with 110 great exertion, and will carry him up hill atid down hill with ease and safety.

Six women wearing bloomers and carry ing rifle* started from Tacoma for Alaska on the steamer Citv of Topeka 10 days ago. They were bound for Circle City, the new town within tno Arctic circle, where thoy expect to make high wages by cooking, sowing and doing other kinds of women s work in a region where white women are exceedingly scarce. Three of the women took with them sewing machines. They wore bloomers because only in that eos i tnme would it be possible to make the arduous and dangerous overland journey across the rough country and snow-cover ed mountain passes. These women will make np the hrst round dozen of white women who have ever traveled Into the far interior mining camps of the country. Indeed, it is doubtful if half a dozen white women have preceded Ihem. Aboard the same steamer were a motly crowd of 200 adventurers bound for Alaska. The decks of the steamer were piled high with varied outfits. Alaska sleds. Yukon stoves and mining implements of all kinds. Every berth on the steamer was taken, and almost a hundred people were left be hind far lack ol room. The rush to Alaska so far this season has been extraordinary, and there is every in dication that the volume of travel will in crease during tho next month or two. Every steamer for tho past six weeks has been crowded to its utmost capacity with miners and the Pacific Steamship company last week determined to put an extra ves sel on the route for the next few months. The sealing vessels going north are taking as many passengers for Alaska as they can accommodate, and in addition, proba bly a doz 'n schooners and several other ves sels will be chartered to carry miners from Puget sound on the way to the gold fields.
