PARK THEATRE.
FAUST—FRIDAY, MAY O.
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

A Common Mistake
It is a common mistake people make
in supposing that the only object of the
Business College is to grind out book
keepers and stenographers. 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.

IIAVE A VMHITAIiLE ZOO.
Kiiigliiig Bros.' 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.

two of tbcm were in favor of making
the bridge free, and the court so decid
ed. The grand jury of Yeuango Co.

The Clinton country commissioners
j j have appointed two men 10 serve as fire
j detectives. Their duties will be to fer
| ret out all persons who wilfully or mali
; ciously set fire to the woods in that
j county.
Mercer county has established a cr.s
--| torn in regard to its jail prisoners which
1 should be adopted by every county in
L " j the State. The commissioners have
I erected a large building in the court
j yard and each prisoner is compelled 'o
J break so much limestone each day and
1 those who refute to work receive no
6 r -
food.
A day or two ago some gentlemen
j from the country called , t the confec
tionery and bakery of William C. Rob
j inson. in New Cattle, and displayed a
x mammoth egg which the man said had
bet n laid by one of his common bain
- yard hens. The egg was a very large
one. in fact, it weighed exactly as much
i as three ordinary chicken eggs. Mr.
L ' Robinson at once bought tue egg and
displayed it with a card giving the
„ weight, size, etc., of the alleged curios
ity. A great many people stopped to look
1 at it. and now the general verdict is
that the egg was laid by the wife of a
well known gander that resides and
does business in Shenango township.
At anj- rate a jury composed of 12 rep
utable poultry fanciers have "set" upon
that chicken egg and have brought
i forth a goose egg. —"Guardian. "
