Subject to tin* docisiou of the Democratic
oouiity convention.
Ksnki Willi the llent.
It is not likoly that any othor comic
entertainment 011 tho stage at tho pres
ent time brings forth quite as loud or as
much laughter as Is evoked by "Tho
Hustler." It Is prominent among these
attractions which seem never to grow
tedious. The piece has hold a very Im
portant place among all big productions
for several seasons, and this yoar Is
making a strong bid for the top soat.
It has been freshened, rejuvenated, and
rendered up to dato, and yet retains all
tho hilarity and highly meritorious
features which originally attracted
theatre-goers of all classes. For Its now
production Manager Thomas 11. Davis
has succeeded in securing a notable com
pany of emlnont and vorsatllo enter
tainers.
In plot, episodes, and dialogue, "Tho
Hustler" Is a perfect specimen of that
sort of entertainment which Is mado
"for laughing purposes only." The In
cidents that grow out of "Tho Hustler's"
Jmpocunlosity and his wild projects arc
of the most ludicrous sort, and tho char
actors are as droll as it is possible to
suppose. In its newest revised shape
this entertainment is said to bo moro
effective than ever before.

From tho Wilkosbarre Record.
An interesting case was disposed of
at Alderman Donohue's court yester
day. A saloon keeper named McCarthy
from I'ittston township was bofore tho
alderman on tho chargo of tresspass, a
peddler being tho plaintiff- McCarthy,
it appears, rocontiy erected a watering
trough in front of his place of business
to accomodate his patrons. Tho pod
dlor's horse drank some of the water in
tho trough and because its owner would
not pay livo cents for the horse's bever
age, he corallod tho animal and kept It
nearly half a day, depriving the owner
of its uso. The peddler valued the half
day's business at 81.25 and McCarthy
was compelled to make good the amount
and the cost of tho proceedings, which
was about 813.
