UNDER VARIOUS MANAGERS Incidents Connected With Early Days of the Building Preient Ownership. It Is with feelings of regret that one the passing of the Huntington opera house where so many pleasant happy hours have been passed In watching the antics of the funny man or shedding tears over the 'death of "Little Eva" or the beating of poor old Uncle Tom. Then there were times when one 'thought he had been buncoed' by some show that advertised well, but played badly. But such la life to the one who follows the foot lights for pastime and they are obliged to take the bad. with the good.

The old opera house Is where many young girl has seen her ideal of man in the follow playing the part the lover, while nothing at the time I would have given her greater nleasnr I than to hare dTmi nnliinn to tha 1 rid fellow who played the part of the villian. How many young fellows are there now in Huntington who at one time or another have not sat in the opera house in open mouthed wonder at some dainty little actress, as she tripped lightly across the stage and thought to himself "She could pack her clothes in my trunk If she wanted to!" Many a man has gone home from the old opera house only to be met at the door by his better half wanting to know where he had been and then he no doubt wished that the one at the door had packed her trunk and gone where the woodbine twlnetb. History ef the Block. The opera house block was begun in. July, 1881, and was completed the was opened to the public under the management of S.

M. Sayler, who filled the position for three years. The house was at that time owned by the gentleman 'who built It; namely Dr. D. SrXeyman, I.

N. and H. Arnold, Dr. A. II.

Shaffer and 8. M. Sayler. The house was opened by the Kate Putnam Gomedy company in a three night stand. The play for the first night was "Lena, the Mad cap." The bill for the sec ond night was "The Child of the Regiment" and the third night eon, the Cricket." The.

first political speech made by Isaac P. Gray, afterwards elected governor of Indiana on the democratic ticket, was made in the opera house October 10, 1882. The first minstrels were given Friday. October 13, 1882. by the Cal ender company which 'was composed entirely of negroes.

Saturday, October 21, was presented Rip Van Winkle." That was follow ed by. Hi Henry's minstrels, October 25. The first republican speech made the house was by General Thomas Nelson. The last campaign Boeech of that year was made on the evening of November 6. by Hon.

John Butler. It was in the Huntington opera house that Miss Minnie Maddern Flake played her first role as leading lady. It was after the Pike's Opera House fire in Cincinnati, Ohio. She was starred as the leading lady In "Fogga Ferry" and played two nights. November 25 and 26.

She afterward visited Huntington quite regularly. The first opera production was by the Jeannie Winston Opera company. The first time that Uncle? Tom's Cabin was produced was the evening of February 16. 1883. It was a terribly stormy day with rain.

'hail and sleet Late in the afternoon, the rain came down in torrent. At 5 o'clock owner of the show, a "Mr. Draper, not a reserved seat was sold. Tne came to Mr. Sayler and offered to sell his share of the night's proceeds for 115: Mr.

Sayler refused and offered a counter proposition, offering to sell his share of the evening's proceeds for 1 10. That proposition Mr. Draper refused, saying they, would drown together. When time for the curtain to go np the house was full and the gross receipts for the evening were $296. The local Knights of Pythias company put on the first home talent' presenting "Daman and Pythias," April 20, 1883.

V. High'class attractions did not take at that time, as. a high class musical company was booked with Miss Anna Morgan, as reader. Miss Morgan is now at "the head of One of the greatest schools of elocution In "the city of Chicago That attraction cost Mr. Sayler T5, as "the proceeds of the house were short Just that much.

He evened matters np by booking for the night before Yank NeweU's Mut doon's picnic," which netted him $93. The house 'at the present time is owned, by Jacob Andy Elsen haner, John Gibler and S. Sayler. Mr. Sayler was the first manager and was succeeded by Dr.

GENERAL HEWS OF ERIE Brief Mention ef Employee of Chicago Erie Shop and Other Items of Interest. Just imagine yourself on a fast train, speeding across the country at the.

rate of about fifty miles an hour, and suddenly have a drove of cattle loom up before your train on the track. That is what happened to Erie train No. 3, west of Rochester, Thursday There, were twenty, cat tle in the drove bat after the train had cut through them there were only fourten left to. tell the tale. Six had killed.

The wonder is that their careasses did, not wreck the train. The the momentum of the train helped to scope them Into the clear. Unaccounted Fer. Aside from reduction of the force at the shops Thursday, things are running along at about the same rate. No lay off has as yet been made In the back shop and it is probable there will.be none If it can be avoided.

However, the 1 appropriation is so small compared with what it has been that there Vill either have to be another reduction in the force or the shops will have to be closed down to make both Tends meet. This change from the height of prosperity to the very lowest ebb is something that locally informed men are unable to account for. Men who have railroaded for years say that of all of the changes they can recall, this Is the "freak est they ever witnessed! Rumor Concerning Engines.

if you are a young and pretty typewriter girl yon had better take notice. Typewriter cramps have Just made their debut, we write it in socie.ty.Expert girl typewriters are telling the secret. The moral of the tale Is: Don't stay the typewriting business as long eight years. Only to those girl typewriters who have been employed offices eight or twelve years do typewriter cramps become an affliction. Beginning with a terrible paini in fingers of the hand, the typewriter cramps generally extend up the af Eicted arm." So terrible is the acute pain that not even a sheet of paper can be held in the hand without experiencing acute agony.

First in the fingers, then in the entire hand, and the arm the pain goes creeping gradually." Agony in moving the arm results. the elbow; muscles. Gradually the pain creeps down the side of the body adjacent to the afflicted arm. Nor asm the cramping pain go away. Medicine cannot induce it to stop.

The Indianapolis News of Friday evening contains an interesting story lu regard to Indiana people who have, been taken in by Dowle in Chicago. Among them are named several from this city who were converts to his "faith" at the time Howard Creager was deacon incharge in this city. Rev. W. O.

Dinius, formerly pastor of the Etna avenue. U. B. church, this city, ia now known as Dr. W.

O. Dinius, Is now an elder in Dowie's domain and is in charge of the lost and found department of Zion City. Other Hunt ington people mentioned as being among the faithful are 8. H. Creager, J.

M. Maplethrope, Henry Hartman and John Swank. Charles Champe, Zion City cartoonist, came from Dub lln and is known among members of the U. B. church in this city, NICKUM AND HIS RADIUM.

May Have Discoverer of the Radium. Probably" Just At the Door of Discovery When He DiedA Lo gansport Man. (Marion News Tribune.) It may be that S. B. Nickum discovered radium.

The stooped, squinting and morose little mechanic, working in a basement shop in semi darkness, unknown, withdrawn, engrossed in his own affairs and repealing the friendly hand of his neighbor, may have been at the door of greatness when he told the people of his perpetual light some years ago. Nickum spent many years in Marion. But that was before he presented for the consideration of investors his never snuffed lamp. The people The press scoffed The constable camped upon Nickum's Logans port door step. Then Nickum died.

Marion men were interested in his idea, and put money into his experiments. The dwarf student was to make them all wealthy. Then came day when they refused to admit that they aided the inventor. Though they retained confidence in the light they did not boast of their connection with It. Nickum took his secret with him to the grave, and the light Is not burning today.

It went! out with the light that twinkled in the shrewd brown eyes' of the tireless student of science. It is said the principle upon which S. Nickum sought to perfect the light was the emanation of helium. Dr. William Ramsey, i London, who has been experimenting with the new 10,000 a grain element, declares that the light emitted by radium is due to helium vapor, radiated from and temporarily imparted to other substances hy it He finds that, although the helium thus radiated has after giving it off the radium seems not to have lost weight.

This adds to the mysery of radium. At the same time recalls what Nickum claimed that he was almost In touch with an element that would give off light without taking from Itself any property that would diminish its usefulness. 1 Nickum seemed to rant at times. so enthusiastic was he over his alleged discovery. 'Now radium has done more, than NIckumTosred to 1m agine.

By means of helium rays the sun gives off its light with' scarcely appreciable diminuatlon in solar energy. Radium investigations seems to substantiate the theory that the atom far from being the ultimate unit. all matter Is electron simply electric charges of different relations transmutation of metals lead to gold for example may Jbe effected as soon as a process is discovered to alter those Friends insist that almost within, the palm of the hand Nickum may have held nthe "philisopher's stone" of ancient le gend. 1" Drives Away Constipation, i Mrs. F.
