George Andreas, the noted Chestnut street wife beater, was committed to the lockup Saturday night by Justice Buckley, on a charge preferred by his wife, whose life has become almost un bearable because of George's violent temper when ho Is drunk. As this hap pens as regularly as payday, Mrs. An dreas decided to rid herself and the community of her spouse, by having him sent to prison, and he was accordingly placed in the toils. This morning, however, the woman appeared and withdrew the charge. Her action was based on promises of reform on the part of her erring hus band, and the latter was released. Before leaving the lockup George made a solemn vow to abstain from in toxicants for one year from date, after which he went forth to begin a model life, imbued with all the fervor that characterizes a now recruit in the tem perance cause. The police are hoping that Andreas will prove himself as good as his word, as in the past be has given the peace officials more trouble than any other dozen men In town.

What people who are capable of judg ing say of Claude Amsden: Theo Johnston, manager of the Pe ruchi-Beidini Comedy Company—l saw Claude Amsden in the part of "Wang" last year and he was fully as strong as De Wolf Hopper and in my estimation he will soon lie ranked among the stars of tho first magnitude as a character comedian. 11l Henry, the minstrel king—l con sider Claude Amsden the best character comedian on the American stage today. He has played the leading part in all the best opera companies on tho road and is sure to meet with approval wher ever ho Is to appoar. J. C. Lewis, "Si Plunkard"—He is a great comedian and I think that in some respects ho is the best character comedian on the stage, as his voice is the best I have over heard. Edwin Stanton, the romantic actor — He belongs to a class all to himself and as a fun maker he heads the list of all character comedians of the present day. Not to have seen him is to have missed one of the greatest pleasures of life. At the Grand opera house the next three nights. Popular prices. Ladies' 15 ceut tickets tonight.
