treasure ship, and a beautiful romance of
which a pretty Spanish senorita is the
heroine.

An ejectment suit tried in Beaver
county lately attracted considerable at
tention, as it involved oil territory and
production in the Shannopin held
valued at $ 1,000,000. The case had its
origin back in 1885. The land in con
troversery, 100 acres in Hopewell town
ship, Beaver county, was leased to .1
A Tomlinson by the late A. P. Morrow.
The land was operated by Clark Hayes,
S. G Bayne and J. M. Fuller. Later,
the interests were sold to the Forest oil
Company, and all these are named as
defendants. The plaintiff, Mrs. Mary
J. Kennedy, claims that her father, Mr.
Morrow, deeded her the land on Jan. 2,
18x;{, and the deed antedates the oil
lease by several days. This, however,
was not a matter of record at the time
operations began. The plaintiff claims
that she made an effort to prevent de
fendants from taking possession The
case was tried at Beaver In-fore Judge
Miller, of Mercer and after being out
\!!» hours, the jury r> ported they could
not agree, and were discharged It is

Well, well well
Here I am again
Do you know me 7
Do you note the smile on my beautiful
countenance ?
Are you on to my curves?
If so.
You may recognize me.
I am what I am.
I am the Christmas Santy
And I am a bird from Birdville.
I am a regular joy dispenser.
< That's my busim ss.
Once a year I go abont dispensing
Gigantic jags of joy.
1 make glad the hearts of the little
folks:
I also make glad tlie hearts of the big
folks:
1 am almoner general to those who have
no Christmas dinner
Except the one that I provide.
I gather the kinters from the highway
and byways.
From the back streets and the alleys,
I have fun with them.
1 enjey myself with them.
I feed their faces with food,
; Good wholesome food—
Turkey, bread and butter, vegetables,
pie and cake, confectionery and
nuts:
And then when I have made them all
glad about the region of their belt
buckles,
I have toys for them.
Oh, you ought to see the gladness on
their little faces,
It would do your heart good;
It would make you more contented
with your lot;
It would stop your kicking at fate;
It would take you back to boyhood's
days
When you could eat three square meals
a day and ask for more.
! And yon ought to hear theirthanks and
their cheers:
That is what pays me for all mv trou
ble.
i And having satisfied their 1h karat ap
petites I giye them all a toy.
What bliss'
What superlative happiness for a child!
j A dinner and a toy.
1 That's how I have fun with thei \
I That's how I enjoy myself with them.

The audiences at the Grand during
the current week were so large, that it
gave ample evidence that high class
plays admirably produced meet the ap
proval of the public. A large major
ity of the afternoon audiences is com
posed of out-of town people who went
to the city to do Christmas shopping,
'in Monday next, and during the week,
Augustin Daily's great New York suc
cess, a very beautiful high-class society
comedy drama, entitled "The Lottery
of Loye" will be the chief attraction.
It will be presented at the Grand in the
most magnificent manner with new
scenery, rich costumes, and in every
way identically as it was produced by
Mr. Daly. The established and very
successful policy of continuous per
formances at the grand will be in vogue
as usual from 1 to 11 p. 111 . and to
avoid even a moments break in the con
tinuity of the entertainment quite a
large number of distinguished high
class vaudeville artists will appear
in their several popular specialties
Among the nrincipal stars is the cele
brated < 'harles T Ellis, besides a score
of other vaudeville celebrities.
TLLK AVKM.'K TLLKA TItK, PITTSHUKfi.
This beautiful theatre commences its
permanent winter season 011 Monday
next and opens with a Christmas mati
nee. The policy of the management is
on the most advanced, approved and
liberal lines. No limit will be placed
upon expenditures in handsomely stag
ing and in richly costuming the several
celebrated productions. A popular
high class New York city success will
be produced every week by one of the
best stock companies ever organized.
On Monday, and continuing through
out the week, the great Lyceum Thea
tre success entitled "The Idler" will be
presented in all its original complete
ness, in fact superior to the New York
production in the admirable cast and
elegance of its appointments. It will
be tin: attraction every evening and at
regular matinees on Wednesday and
Saturday. The opening of the Avenue
Theatre may be regarded as an epoch in
the dramatic history of Pittsburg.
