The rendition of the thrilling drama, "Faust," by the Hubert Labadie com pany at the Spencer opera house last evening was a very interesting affair, and particularly so to those who admire this peculksrlar kind of play. The parts were all handled very careful! in deed and with th" elaborate special scenery and stage fixtures which the company carries, the effect was partic ularly attractive and pleasing. Mr. Hubert Labadie assumed the part of His Satanic Majesty, Mcphistopheles, in an admirable manner and fully sus tained the high reputation lie enjoys as an actor of great merit. He possesses peculiar and special qualifications for the part, in fact he seemed entirely a home f>r quite at east in tho character. Mrs. Labadie, however, carried off the honors of the piece in the part of Mar gnerite. Her queenly presence, smooth rich voice and accurate articulation, together with her correct interpreta tion or conception of the character did much in establishing her in popular fa vor. She is a lady of much dramatic abil ity. culture and refinement. The Com pany entire is made up of educated and refined people aad entitled to the confi dence of theater going people. They made many friends while here. Daily News.

Business College education is useful to everybody. The man of wealth cannot tell if his book keeper does his work properly unless he himself understands the science of ac counts. |ust as the best housekeeper need not do the work herself but she knows how, and hence knows when it is properly done. The poor man needs business education to be able to manage his resources 10 the best advantage. Tliemoial is plain, attend the Butler Business College and School of Short hand 319-327 South Main St., where the best methods oi accounting and steno graphy are u>light. PERSONAL.

Wonderful Dis play of Birds and A initials. The superiority of Ringling Brothers' World's Greatest Shows over similar organizations in the United States and Europe is demonstrated in many ways but in none more effectively than in its zoological department. Many shows carry menageries, but it has remained for Ringling Brothers to organize a complete zoological garden, in which every beast of the jungle and every fowl of the air is displayed with prop er classification and in a manner to per mit of careful study and comparison. The arrangement of the mammoth men agerie pavillion itself carries out the idea of a huge traveling 'Zoo. In the centre area are thf? led animals, includ ing the most superb display of big and little elephants ever seen in this or any other country. This great triple herd pachyderms embraces twenty-five mag nificent specimens of the African and Asiatic elephant, all of which have been carefully trained to preform many mar velous feats in which the accuracy and memory of these animal performers are put to a successful test. On one side of the great ellipse is the aviary. This is a notable departure in zoological dis plays. It is not merely a conventional display of the most familiar tropical birds, but a complete exposition of or nithology, in which almost every bird, from the humming-bird and macaw to the huge stork and ostrich, is shown in its proper family group. Tho bright plumage of the tropical birds elicits endless expressions of admiration, while the entire pavillion is filled with the melody of these feathered songsters probably no exhibition ever given in America has ever proved a greater at traction to the iadies and childern among the patrons of this great show. The aquarium, which is also a new and novel feature, is notable for its remark able collection of hippopotami, sea lions seals, Polar bears and other water fre quenting animals, and the huge tanks in which they are displayed are arrarjg ed in such a way, and with such cliar ! acteristic environments, that it is easy to realize the conditions under which | these strange animals exist in their na five state. The children's menagerie has been augmented this year by a huge monkey den. fitted up as a play ground with a carroussel in the center, upon which the simians ride'and gambol with delight to themselves and unlimited amusement to those who witness the almost human anticts. Interest in the coming of this famous show to Butler May IS is universal, and 110 small part of this interest has been aroused l>y the encomiums that have been fairly show ered upon its unique zoological display.
