Archie Boyd, the eminent actor, now
Blurring a Uncle Nat. In James A.
Heine's "Shore Acres," Is regarded by I
many of his friends as a premier wit,

this one loses something In print. As
Mr. Boyd approached a gioup of ac
quaintances on Broadway recently, he
heard the name of an actor, whom he
knew to have been ailing last season,
upoken, as he thought, in tone of sym
pathy. What?" said he, Is "B dead?"
"Oh, no;" was the reply, "he's Just
fceen married."
"Oh, well, that's not instantly fa
tal," was the quick rejoinder, with a
queer little emphasis on the 'instant
ly." Mr. Boyd will be here with Jas.

The Cliffords are still the he.id
llners at tho Pastime. Their sensa
tional escapes from the trunks and
boxes are sufficient to mystify nil who
see them. Last evening they succeeded
in escaping from the packing bos fur
nished by the Peoples store. Their
work Is so rapid that It n-r:lred less
time to escape from the box th:in It
did for the committee to nail up the
box. The Cliffords do not furnish all
the entertainment by arry mei'.n.
though It mut be. admitted that they
are the erownins attraction. The mo

cause they did so much and did It so
rapidly that the ordinary individual
would have considerable difficulty in
keeping track of their actions. The
Smiletta Sisters did some very clever
acrobatic stunts and juggling and slack

with the audience. This evening the
