As Ibsen Is Seen in Nevada pBseN's Norwegian play of “Ghosts,” with one setting of scenery, no music and three knocks with a club on the floor to raise the cur- tain, was presented last evening. The pl certainly a moral hair-raiser, and the stufling is knocked out of the Decalogue at every turn. Mrs, Alving, the leading lady, who keeps her chin high in the air, has married a moral mon- strosity in the shape of a spavined rake, and hides it from the world. She wears a pleasant smile and gives society the glad hand, and finally lets goall holds when her husband gets gay with the hired girl, and gives an old tar three hundred plunks to marry her and stand the responsibility for the expected population. Oswald, the mother’s only boy, is sent to Paris to paint views for marines, and takes kindly to the gay life of the capital, where the joy of living is the rage, and families are reared in a section where a printer running a job office solely on marriage certificates would hit the poorhouse with adull thud. Regena, the result of Mr. Alving’s attentions to the hired girl, also works in the family, and falls in love with the painter boy on his return from Paris. ‘They vote country life too slow, and plan to go to Paris and start a family. ‘The doting mother gives her consent, and Pastor Menders,who hrowing fits all through the play, has a spasm. The boy, on being informed that the girl of his choice is his half-sister, throws another, his mamma having also thrown a few in the other act. and, who runs a sort of sailors’ and soldi canteen, sets fire to an orphanage, and the boy, who has inherited a sort of mayonnaise- dressing brain from his awful dad, tears about the , breaks some furniture and upsets . He finall rough-on-rats and dies a gibbering idiot, is mother slobbering over | and trying to figure out in her own mind that be was merely drunk and disorder! Asa sermon on the law of heredity the play is great, but after seeing it we are glad to announce Minstrels will relieve the Ibsen ovember 6—next Monday night.— .) Appeal. Dog That Brought Luck NE rarely hears of a stray dog found practi- cally sta’ in the streets of a city rising to fame and bringing fortune to its benefactor. Such, however, is the history of the celebrated dog Brigadier, which forty years ago, after being hustled about the streets of Manchester, found a sympathetic friend in the late Mr. Foulkes, of that city. Finding the dog in the street homeless, Mr. Foulkes took it home, and with it, after careful training, succeeded in winning the Waterloo Cup. With the money thus won Mr. Foulkes purchased a hotel at Withington, a suburb of Manchester, which he renamed the Waterloo Hotel. In a quiet spot of the hotel grounds stands a tombstone erected to the dog’s memory.— Daily Graphic.
