The jury in the Shaffer murder trial at Indiana, Pa., last week, played a pretty good parctical joke on Mr. Lurnan Gilbert, one of the court officers in charge of the jury. The jury occu pied a room in the Clawson House which had previously been used by a lady connected with the hotel. In the clothes-press were a number of articles of women's wear. Mr. Coleman, one of the juors. who is a smooth-faced man. put on a lady's coat, skirt, hat, collar and other articles and took a seat in a distant part of the room. Then one of the jurors called the attention of Mr Gilbert to the fact that there was a woman in the room. It only required the court officer to make two strides until he had the supposed woman by the arm and he yanked the victim into the hall, with the exclamation: "How in thunder did you get in there?" In the scuffle the hat of the disguised jury man fell off. His identity was discov ered and he was thrust into the room again. But the 12 true and honest men did not forget to make it warm for their keeper. PROPEKTY TRANSFERS Seaton Land Co to B J Bolinger. lot in Zelienople of S2OO.

Don't forget "the matinee for children. Saturday afternoon —Prices 10 and 20c. CORHETT—FLTZSIMMONS. One of the remarkable features con nected with the Veriscope pictures of the Corbett —Fitzsimmons glove con test, which took place at Carson City Nevada, March 17, is the greatest in terest taken iu the exhibitions by wo men. From the very first production at the Academy of Music in New York of these pictures, the ladies were strongly in evidence at every exhibi tion. During the long run of the Veri scope in Boston at the Boston theatre, the pictures became the fad of the hour with society in general and the fair sex in particular. At the evening exhibi tions, box and theatre parties in full evening dress were the rage and fully fifty per cent, of the audiences were ladies, while the matinees which were given every afternoon were almost ex clusively patronized by the fair mem bers of the inner circles of Boston's so ciety. The reason for the great inter est shown by the women in these pic tures, is undoubtedly because the Veri scope allows them the opportunity of witnessing a clean scientific contest be tween the two foremost boxers of the world, without being subjected to the necessity of seeing the men actually suffer from the effects of the blows or having to undergo any of the little in conveniences encountered at an actual coutest. These pictures have been se cured by the management of the Park theatre, and will be seen here next Monday, Oct. 11th—afternoon and evening. Matinee prices 35 and 25c, evening prices 50, 35, 25c. AN IMPORTANT ENGAGEMENT Soon to take place at this theatre will be the production of the operatic spectacle now touring America, "The Crystal Slippers; or Prince Prettiwitz anil Little Cinderella.

It will be entirely new and up to date, introducing a number of novelties, including the new songs "That's What the Parrot Re marked," "The Golden Bumble Bee.' "And Lots of Chestnuts Hung Upon The Trees" and "Little Boe Peep.' There will be a wealth of scenery, three new ballets, magnificent costumes, a grand pageant and panorama of regal splendor, blending the entire produc tion into one marvelous and magnifi cent ensemble, such as will stamp it as the greatest creation of the kind ever seen in America. 100 people will be introduced on the stage, I{<MIIK'C«I Kates to the I'ittsburj Industrial Kvhil'ition via Peun \\ Ivauia Kailroad On October 7 and 14, 1897, the Penn sylvania Railroad Company will sell excursion tickets from the Pittsburg, West Penn and Monongahela Divisions to the Exposition at half rates, with rife of admission added.
