These favorites, the --“TwoJohns," will be at the Opera House on Friday'evening. Of this performance the Indianapolis Journal says: "The Two Johns" was the attraction at Englisb’s Opera House yesterday, which filled the auditorium afternoon and nifiit. This was the second appearance of r. Stewart's compaol‘iiy in this city, and the impression it pr need last year as one of the funniest of plays was depened and intensified. The plot, what there is of it, turns upon the similarity of appearance of ~ “the two Johns," who are ludicrously stout, which confuses even their wives, and produces no end of laughable situa- tions. Messrs. Stewart and Dresser make two delightful "fat comedians," and the sup it is all that is required.

With his usual Washington letter this week our senior editor sends a newspaper clipping, evidently for publication, which we filenwsy to await his return and in- structions as to which side of it is to be republished. On one side there is a scorching screed on liquor drinking‘and the misery resulting froin it; on the other side is an alarming statement concerning “death in the well," which tells about the germs of disease and death lurking in the water we drink. Between the two we split the difletence, pigeonhole the clip ping, and until further orders let the dear public take their choice of the two styles and varieties of death offered by the two- horned dilemma—they may drink water and die of typhoid fever and consump- tion, or drink whiskey and die of jim- jams.

They hitched their horse to the fence, smoothed the wrinkles out of their pants, good-night they found that the team had disappeared, leaving not a trace behind. In vain they searched and in despair they “gave it up" and homeward plodded their weary way.

Herman will be remembered as the small but athletic and muscular in- dividual who immortalized himself and won the hearty good-will of the commun. ity last summer by the thorough manner the irrepressible “holy terror.” He is an honest, industrious man employed in Arnold’s foundry, and was married last month and went to housekeeping in ' the house opposite Leonard’s coal ofiice. His brother made it his home with the bride and groom, and spent most of his time, while Herman was at work, at the house. For some time past Herman has quietly cherished the unwelcome suspicion that his bride, in her innocence, was laboring under the delusion that the marriage ceremony had established a relationship betWeeu herself and the Anderson family, the implication of which was that she was no more to one Anderson than she was to any other Anderson, and that one Anderson was just as much to her as any other Anderson. Herman kept his‘sus- plcions to himself and waited. He waited too long. Last Monday noon he went home to his dinner as usual, but on arriv- ing at his home he found that dinner wasn’t ready, nor was his wife getting it ready. She wasn’t in' the kitchen, nor in the drawing room,|nor in the house. The brother, too, was missing. Impelled by a dark suspicion, Herman investigated and found that his wife‘s personal eflects, with some of hisown belongings, and his brother's traps had been packed 'up and taken away. Then the truth «wired The discussion about car-stoves brings out the interesting fact that steam-heat- ing has been used for years in various parts of the country. On a road in New York, Connecticut and Vermont it is-de- scribed as ‘simple, inexpensive, quickly' adjusted and easily adapted to the condi- tions of the weather. and the engineer says that the amount of steam taken frOm the boilers is scarcely perceptible.
