BREED THEATER. “The Girl and the Fugiti " Thrilling W n Story. Ome of the snappiest and brightest pictures at the Breed theater this week is the amusing yet thrilling story of western life entitled The Girl and the Fugitive. It is a pretty story of a ranch girl who assists in concealing & much-hunted cowboy, who has be- friended her earlier in the plot. but as the girl is about to be insulted by a pursuing cowboy, he jumps from his place of concealment, and again pro- tects her, but this time is captured. As the leader of the mob of cowboys is turning to go to the door to give the signal that he has captured the flee- ing cowboy the girl cuts the binding cords, and-the captive immediately en- sages. in a hand-to-hand fizht with the leader of the pursuit, and compels him to state to the waiting cowboys that the search is fruitless and that it must be abandoned, Some very amusing comedy by thy Bilograph company is also on the bill, | and other dramatic features, all ..fi‘ | which are highly acceptable to the large audiences which have greeted every performance this week. Miss Shuwny sings: the catchy il- justrated song, My Irish Caruso, which contains snatches of grand opera, in- | troduced with the popular airs. She also sings Comical Eyes, a scream- ingly funny coon song, with still fun- nler pictures. s MEAT PRICES IN 1889. Circular That Caused Much Comment Twenty Years Ago Compared with the Present Prices. J. W. Anderson of Shelton was en- gaged in the meat business a little | over twenty years ago, and in looking over his old papers he came across a list of prices issued by him in 1889, and which he remembers caused much comment at the time. Comparing the .then quoted with those now ob- t&otor the same quality of meat | interesting reading. The as follows: ulfi:ten.k. then 12c, now 20 to 22¢ | lder steak, then 10c, now 12 to llc per pound. Sirloin steak, 24c per pound. Porterhouse steak, then 20c, now 25 to 30c per pound. Country pork, then 12c, 20c:per pound. Plate beef, then 5 to 7Tc, now 9c per pound. Bologna sausage, then 12¢, now 14 to 18c per pound. Best rib roast, then 12 to 16c. now 20 to 22c per pound. then 18c¢, now 22 to now 16 to Spring lamb, then 12 to 16c, now 22 to 25c per pound. ’ Corned beef, then 5 to 7c¢, now 9 to 16c per pound. .Sugar cured hams, then l4c now 25c¢ and upwards per pound. | It must not be thought by thig that | the meat dealers are growing wealthy at the present prices, as it is a fact that the wholesale prices are higher in proportion, in many lines, than the re- tail ones of the present time, as com- pared with those of that day. 2 BAPTISTS MUST WORK. Palling Behind in Hartford, the Local Union is Told. ‘The Hartford Post says: That the increase in the number of Baptists in this city has not kept pace with, the growth of population® was shown by statistics which the Rev. Dr. H. M. Thompson gave at a meeting of the Hartford Baptist union Sunday evening. Dr. Thompson said that the increase in the number of Baptists in Hartford | in twenty years was 40 per cent., while the hmreasg in the population was 100 per cent. In Hartford in 1890 he said the Bap— tists were 2 1-2 per cent. of the popu- lation, while today they are 1 4-5, and in order to keep their pace in the work of evangelization Baptists muet strike out for themselves and all work to- gether. - Dr. Thompson told about the work that has been done in Binghamton, N. Y., in the last twenty years in that Iine. Other speakers were Rev. Arthur S. Burrows of Worcester, Mass., and Rev. Dr. Herbert Judson -White and Rev. Dr. W. G. Femmell of this city. Mr. Burrows described the mission work in ‘Worcester, where 70 per cent. of a population of 150,000 is foreign born, ; A Valuable Book.
