Its perch proved to be anything but a place of safety for the feline, however, as, afraid to leave its -perch, it endured a fusillade ' of bricks and stones, for several days and then quietly yielded up its nine lives.

It is seldom in the annals of the drama that a play is as good as the book from which it may be drawn, but per haps once in a decade the feat may be accomplished with success, and the re sult is always very marked, as in the case of "Black Beauty," which not only was an international success as a book, but is well on tho way to the same re cord as a play. Everybody in almost every country on the face of the globe knows "Black Beauty" by heart, and truly it was a heart story that touched a tender chord in every breast toward the dumb animals. The author of the book lived just long enough to learn of the success of her touching story, but since then it has been read by over ten mil lion people, which attests the wonderful humane power of the story. The Presi dent of the American Humane Educa tion Society, Mr. George T. Angell, has the honor of putting forth both the book and play, for i n his 85th year, still vig orously pushing his great work for all the animal world, he offered a $1000 prize for the finest play written from "Black Beauty," and after the jury had made its selection, Mr. Angell paid the prize money and sold the play to tho well known theatrical managers, Atkinson and Thatcher, who immediately' began preparations to stage "Black Beauty in a magnificent manner and tour the United States with it, and it will be seen injthis town at the Lyric on Monday, Feb. 1st. only. These enterprising man agers have secured a popular theatre edition of the book, whichcanbe bought at. the local stores for a small sum, to refresh the memory on this great humane phiy before seeing the play which has mgde the greatest hit of any drama put out in a decade. A very fine company otjfielected players will bring their own bgautiful scenery and fresh costumes, alpo three fine horses which take r!the? wH-remembered parts of "Ginger," "Merrylegfl" and"Black Beauty" in the play, which closes with a grand allegori cal scene.
