It has not been off the boards since first presented by Mr. Rus­ sell. It is, indeed, a refreshing offeriug in this day of lurid melodrama and silly, so-called musical comedy. "A Poor Relation" may be compared to the .ordinary rnu of present day theatrical offerings as a beantifnl, cool October day to the sultry heat of Angnst In Mr Lee D.

On account of the rain the ceremonies oounected with the opening of the dam were somewhat shortened, tut, never- thelesa* a large and enthusiastic crowd was in attendance. The parade from the lakes consisted of about fifteen boats. There wohld have been folly doable that number in the line bad the water conditions warranted. A large number of boats from the upper lake* bad started out, bat on tccoaut of tbe Mtremely low water it was found that psssage thru the email Channels; Which connect tbe chain of lakesi was an im­ probability! Owing to a shortage of help we canttot writo np the opening as ws should like* bnt on tbe completion of the dam we will describe It f till J- and •how where the people who reside along this beantifnl stream will be much ben­ efitted. The hotels in McHenry were taxed to their utmost capacity for din­ ner last Sunday, showing that a great deal of tstsrsat is being snsnifssted b? the people. Labor was resumed on this great piece of work Monday morning it will be rushed to completion. Tbe dam was closed Saturday night and pa Sunday morning the rise was already prtkmMeatthcBap MIm Baker of VIMtora Make* Riff Hit With Crowd, Covering Initial Sack in Fin* Style--Other Not**. The Bloomer Girls hate come and gone, and the fans are now satisfied to know that there is one thing in the world that women can not do, and that is to play ball. - On account of the rain the game was postponed from Sunday until Monday, and as a result many ladies were in at­ tendance to see the Bloomer Girls in action. As far as the game itself is concerned it was dull and featureless, with one exception, that being the work of Miss Baker at first base, her catch of a foul fiy irfto the crowd being a fine piece of work. The story of the game we will try to tell in a brief way. The visitors were blanked for the first six innings of play. In the seventh round, thrn the generos­ ity of the home players, Kelly, the first batter up in this inning, singled. Cnr- rie drew a base on balls and Kelly went to second. Brooks was also given free transportation to tbe initial sack, filling the bases; Brown waittd until four wide ones were called on her and a run was forced in, Miss Kelly being the one to score. Baker sent one down to second and was thrown ont on the deal, the sacrifice scoring Cnrrie. Miss Brooks, who Was stationed at second at the time of the hit, tried to get to third, bnt was caught bet wen the two pil­ lows. Abel then singled, stole second and came home on Walsh's timely bin- gle. St Clair ended the round by fan­ ning. The fifth and last tally was registered by Miss Kelly, who was allowed to score on an error. The locals scored their first tally in tbe second inning on a three-base hit and a single. Two mor6 runs were reg­ istered in the third on donble, single and two sacrifice hits. Daring the fourth, fifth and sixth ronnds tbe locals allowed themselves to be pnt 6ut in one, two, three order, but in the seventh two men scored on a single, a sacrifice and two errors. Of eourae, the Blues had to win the game, so registered three more runs in the eighth, the scores coming thru a base on balls, home run, two sao- rifice hits coupled with two bad errors.

The management is trying hilrd to arrange a game with the Olivers of Woodstock. Bending and Scully, McHenry's short stop and second baseman, were given a try out in the Davenport, Iowa, Three I league team last week and they both made good. They were immedi­ ately signed for and will report for duty at the opening of next season. The loss of Bending and Scnlly will be a hard blow to the McHenry team, as the two youngsters figured prominently in games the team has won this season. While with the Davenport team Bend­ ing was batting close to tbe three hun­ dred mark, and we expect to see him lead the league in batting next season. GAME NEXT SUNDAY. The Warrens, one ef the beet semi- pro teams of Chicago, will be the at­ traction at the ball park next Sunday afternoon. The Warrens have been playing a great game all this season and have a fine string of victoriee to their credit. The locals are particularly anx­ ious to win thi* contest, as it will mean much to the team. By winning over tbe fast Warrens the locals will be placed in tbe files of the best semi-pro teams in the state. The usual admis­ sion will be charged and the game will be called promptly at i'M p. m> Every­ body tare oat and sea, the pottiiog big leagtlerrlh action.

Items Clipped from The Plalndemlar ot September 7, 1881. The opening party at the Parker House was attended by about fifty conp- les, and was a very pleasant affair. The steamer "Lotus" had the mis­ fortune to break the crank shaft of her engine on Saturday evening last, while at Fox Lake and consequently has been laid up for repairs this week. We learn that John L. Howe, who lives east of tbe river, was taken sud­ denly and violently ill on Tuesday aft­ ernoon. Drs. Brown and Howard were called aud found him in an unconscious condition. At the time of going to press he is reported as a little better. We acknowledge the receipt of an in vitatVm JEo the wedding of Miss Ida Howe arm John Featherstone, Jr., which was held in Chicago on Wednes day evening of last week. We were unable to attend but extend to the new­ ly wedded pair our best wishes fo£ their future prosperity and happiness. Miss Howe has many warm friends here who will join with us in the above. Some individual has taken it upon himself to cut twenty or thirty feet of weeds that liued the walk near the red bridge. The village authorities should look into this matter at once and order the marshal to take due precaution to prevent further depredation ot this kind. These "ornaments" (?) line al most every walk in our village, and it would be a pity if someone should, without authority, do the street com- missiouer's work. The nuptials of Miss Nina G. Walker, daughter of the late Samuel H. Walker, and William A. Cristy, one of the firm of Cristy, Walker & Co. 's vinegar and pickle factory, at McHenry, were cele­ brated at the residence of the bride's mother, in Ring wood, last Wednesday evening. The t^nptial ceremony was performed by the Rev. Wm. Balch of Elgin and was witnessed by the imme­ diate relatives and a few intimate friends of the parties only. Tbe cos­ tume of the bride was exceedingly rich and elegant, yet beautifully modest, a minute description of which will not be attempted. After the ceremony came the banquet, which was one of the great events of the evening. The dining room was elaborately decorated, the table was loaded with all the deli­ cacies that the most active mind could invent and skillful hands prepare. Aft­ er the banquet the scene was enlivened by choice selections of music furnished by Mrs. Minnie Smith of Kansas and Miss Nettie Borden of Nunda. Then the earnest and hearty congratulations of the guests were received. Central Opera House. The attraction at the Central opera house on Sunday, Sept. 9, will be that unique and genial character study, "A Poor Relation," rendered famous by that inimitable comedian, Sol Smith Russell. Nothing else that Mr. Rnssell ever did in a field of eccentric imperson­ ations peculiarly his own so endeared him to the public as his delineation of Noah Vale, the poor inventor whose heart was as big as his body, even though his pnrse was empty, cheated as he was out of the fruits of his labor. The love of Noah Vale for the little boy whom he befriends is the tender and pathetic feature of the play, enlivened as it is by the hnmorous incidents char­ acterizing the scenes between the two. Of these situations the most amusing is that in which Noah Vale deposits the boy in an empty barrel and removes the lad s trousers in order to sew buttons on the garment, without shocking tbe little fellow's sense of modesty, or that of the spectators, either. The sto­ ry of the drama, dealing of the theft by the villain of the inventor's plans of a mechanical design destined to eventual­ ly make him wealthy, is skillfully and absorbingly told. Romance is woven into the tale, which ends happily with the nltimate recovery of the stolen goods and the final triumph of Noah Vale, who realises tbe good fortune bis own brains and inventire genius have earned and who wins the girl he lores. Prices 85, 88 and 50 cents. A Good 8ho«, The Smith & Gilbert "My Uncle from New York" company held down the boards at tbe Central opera house last Saturday and Snnday evenings, and ere greeted by good sized audiences each night.

Tbe animals were the property of G. Doolittle of Grayslake. After making several futile attempts at suicide Bartoli Taninini, an inmate of the insane asylum at Elgin, finally accomplished the deed last Thursday morning by hanging himself with a bed sheet. Miss Hattie Thiede, the 17-year-old Chicago girl whoee plucky conduct re­ sulted in the capture of a robber while he was in the act of robbing a flat in Chicago, spent several days at Fox Lake last week to recover from the shock. It is reported that there are more ducks in tbe lake regions this year than have been known before in years. This is accounted for by the fact that the lakes have been lower this season than for many years, which has given ducks an uhnsual opportunity for breeding. Twenty one couples from Chicago hailed into Waukegan one day recently and applied for marriage licenses at the county clerk's office. After sizing up the bunch the clerk told them that they had better wait awhile before taking the contemplated step. Following the clerk's advice they returned to Chicago the same as they came---single.

The starch from these vegetables is treated by roasting at a temperature of about 800 degrees at the first stage, causing it to turn into dextrine.
