XF.XT WEEK That yonth f<inriH no barn IT to sue coss when there in genuine talent anil ability, in shown in the advancement of that remarkable child star. Irene Myers, who appears at the head of her own company at the Park Theatre all next week The charm of this dainty little artiste lies largely in her convinc ing sincerity, added to whi<:h she has a natural and easy stage presence, a graceful figure, an exceedingly sweet face and an entire freedom from affoc tation. An absence of that parrot like reading so common among children of the stage, enables her to interpret her parts with intelligence and feeling, in dicating that her work is not the result, of the rigid coaching the ordinary child is subjected to, bnt to that of genins, which no amonnt of training can ac complish. Critics throughout America ananimonsly pronounce her the most remarkable child ever seen upon this continent, and look upon her in amaze merit. She will be seen Monday even ing as Chncky Connors in The .Stow away and on Tuesday evening as Peaches in The Electrician. (irmid Opera House Pittsburg. Pittsburg h most popular playhouse the Grand, will open on Monday, Sept. 'Jnd for the season. Harry I)avis the proprietor and Aianager has secured the strongest list of plays ever obtained for the Grand, and has organized u stock company that surpasses all its predece* SOIH. Arrangements have been made to maintain the high Htaiidard of scenic productions for which the <>rand is famous the country over. Mr. Davis haf- many excellent things in store for his patrons during the coming season. The plays to which he has secured rights include nearly all the big New York successes of last season, and these will be given at intervals with even more elaborate displays than was granted them of t heir original production.

Subscriptions for season seats are being recidved in large numbers. This excellent system inaugurated a few years ago by Mr. I)avis, gives an opoor tunity for regular patrons to secure their favorite «e;.t* each week during the season.

Aug. 19. l!K»t. will long be remembered as a season of calamity bv the pet-pin of this town and vicinity. At the hours of 2, ; and t> P. M. the rain came down in torrents, accompanied by strong wind, lightning and the heaviest thnnder of the snmmer. The dreadful new of night did not begin to be realiz ed until its murky biackness settled over the town, and the fact that there was no electric lights, and the street cars stood helpless on the tracks showed that the creek was again over its banks, had flooded out the electric light plant and "f course was doing untold damage in the lower portions of town. The wind at 5 o'clock tore many awn ings along Main St. to shreds. On N Main St the storm had had severity of a cloud-burst. The new sewer through Henry Troutinan's prop erty was not sufficient to carry off the deluge of water and Main St. was two feet deep from Pearl to Clay. Every cellar was tilled, and. in some instances, the first fl'> >rs. thus ruining costly car pets. Jacob Schwille suddenly became the biggest money maker in town by haul ing hoineward-l)onnd men through the flood at 10 cents each. Along the creek people soon found they would have to desert their houses and' the water came up so suddenly that in some cases they had to escape by b>at. On Western Ave. on the Island old Pappy Armstrong and Morri son with their families were rescued with much difficulty. The waters rose higher than in any other flood in the history of Butler. A vast !ak_e with treacherous eddies and currents stretched from Penn St. to the hills beyond the Fair Ground. The race track was badly washed out and the fence swept away. The damage to the Fair Association's property runs over a thousand dollars, but everything wi4l be repaired and in first class shape for the Fair, two weeks from now The plate glass works were forced to shut down Large strips of roofing were loosened and torn from the shirt facte rv. The damage done to gardens will be great X'hris Harley of Race street lost worth of tomatoes, corn, etc Aixiut two o'clock, Tuesday morning, the light of a burning building wa-i seen east of town but what it WAS has not been learned.
