Dooley," Finley P. Dunne, has joined
tho literary forces of the Ladies' Home
Journal , and will create this fall in that
magazine a new character, called
"Molly Donohue: who lives across tho
street from Mr. Dooley." Her creator
says that Molly is a bright, pretty girl of
nineteen, who has ambitions for tho
great world of women's clubs. Browning
societies, golf clubs, woman's rights or
ganizations, etc. Her mother and

father is hard to deal with in that he
will Insist on sitting at the table in his

J. E. Toole Company.
Tho J. E. Toolo Company closed a
three night's engagement at tho opera
house last evening. On Monday night

preciative audience. Tho singing of
Mr. Toole and Miss DeWoolf and the
work of the other members was pleasing
to all who attended.
On Tuesday evening "Tho Bells" was
given. In the character of Mathias
Mr. Toole displayed unexpected ability.
He was ably supported by John Doud.
Tho play was interesting from start to
finish. It was preceded by a one-act
comedy, entitled "Whoso Is It?" Rain
interfered considerably with the at
tendance.
Last night Shakespeare's great play,
"Othello," was givon to a fair-sized
audience. Tho title role was played by
John Doud, and was well played.
Messrs. Weaver and Fitzmaurico and
Miss DeWoolf also did justice to thoir
parts. As lago, Mr. Toolo was rather
weak at times, and a few of tho minor
roles were not very strong. On tho
whole, however, the presentation was
equal to that givon by tho average rop
ortoiro company, and tho audience
showed its appreciation throughout.
