Agens, expert -money counter at the Sub-Treasury, discovered an other of the counterfeit $100 silver cer tificates yeljterday in a lot of currency received fronr the Garfield National Bank.

Why the absurdity presented at the opera house last night should be call ed "Robin Hood, Jr.," is a problem. It might just as well have been called "Wang' "Mikado," "Pinafore" or any other name that could not be as sociated with it at all. There wasn't the most remote connection between Robin Hood the pretty little opera and the wretched hotch-potch that dis graced the boards ' last night. The only feature of the- whole business to be admired was the immense amount of nerve the management and players had to come before a civilized commu nity with such a show. "Modern Beauty Show!" that's a joke. The whole thing was rotten from first to last. It was flat, stale and unprofit able. Not unfrequently (were theH "bright (?) sallies," the Clever (?) burlesque," the "side-splitting hilari ty"?) "well-voiced" (?) artists (? ) met with hisses. At the end of the first act every lady in the houses left. It was a show for men only, but even they didT not en joy it. Everybody was on a big disgust at first, but seeing that all were in the same boat, they began to treat the matter as a huge joke, and general abandon prevailed in, the theatre after the ladies left. The women talked over the footlighCs to the men in the au dience; played baseball with one or two and generally exceeded anything that has been seen here lately. If the company would play to a free house tonight, it couldn't get a cor poral's guard, except, possibly, of gallery gods. But even they were on a disgust last night. The worst calamity that could be fall the town would be for such an ag gregation to get stranded here.
