J. ■WXt^OW, ttmumsceri GRAND OPERA HOUSE Wednesday, Feb. 8tli i i i.';^ '^'•; It miiy be a mutter of interest to the piililie to know just how Mnmiaer Litt, of I'he Stownwiiy company, ever bnp- peued to secure Spike Henuessy unil Kid McCoy to uprtcar in the play named, doing their realistic safe-blowing uet. It occurred souiethiuig after this manner : •Some seven years ago Mr. Litt was making the trip from Milwaukee to New York, by way of Toronto. Somewhere between Toronto ana'New Vork lie wSF' approached by a very smooth-talkiug, elegantly-appearing yoimg man, v/ho, by his manner, soon succeeded in cnga^u;; Mr. Liitt in conversation. Being tired and sleepy, Mr. Litt soon retired to his berth, leaving hi.s whilom friend tmgaKed in conversation with the sleeping-car conductor. About three o'clock iu the morninK "Wr. Litt was awakened by somcout' feeling under his pillow ; he quickly seized the hand of the intruder, rani; Iiis bell, and held his man until the porter caine and the lights were luraed up, wlien he discovered that it was aoue other thon his smooth young friend of ilie night tiefore. The yoimg uinn at once denied nil at- tempt nt robbery, but the evidence was too strong ngniust him, and he was com- peltely forgotten the circum- stiinee, ho was approached one day In New York by a nice-appearing young man, who at once introduced himself as Spike Hennossy. He told Mr. Litt his history, and that he was desirous of re- forming, but was unable to obtain any kind of work. At the same time he told Mr. Litt that he had made up his mind to speak to him at the Kolicita- tion of the young man who had been sent to the penitentiary for attempting to steal Mr. Litt's watch and pockutbook on the sleeping-car. The Stowaway will be seen at r.heOrand next Wednesday evening, Feb. 8. Next Sa^
