The COlvilIe Burlesque Troupe.


The Colville Burlesque Company
made its first appearance last night
to an immense house. The piece
performed was the magic Slip
per-" a new version OF the "Cin-
derella" extravaganza, and in all pro-

The troupe on the whole, is the lar
gest and best of the kind that ever
visited this city. There are msny
genuine artists in the company,
many excellent comedians and come
diennes, and many fine singers
Among these Miss Eme Roseau is
especially noticeable, lady Of beau
tiful figure, prepossessing appearance,
and q good actress, and sengstresa
of unusual merit. She possesses a
full rich voice, under excel

The performance throughout, without
making special mention, is worthy
the patronage it received last night.
and that is saying a good deal. The
business was well done, while as a
comedian, the gentleman who en-
acted the part of Seraph is an IN
questioned star. Roars Of laughter
succeeded each other in quick success

deaiening, and some Of the songs and

Mr.. Frink, the gentleman who has
given exhibitions of the heavenly

While Directing to be termed PRO

direction, but on other subjects. 1t
would be a good idea to get Mr..

exhibition at schools, thus given the
children or students an opportunity
of acquiring practical information re.

could be obtained for a mere trihe,

could be given students
on other topics of kind red nature, in
a very brief time, and il he were in
duced to give, during his stay here,

An Extraordinary Kissing Match.

From Recent Paris Letter.
Alta party of young people in Paris con-
versation happened to turn on the subject of
kissing, and the question was propounded
who Of the young men present could boast
ofglven or being able to give "hs girl" the
most kisses Various were the replies this
question called out. Finally young man
and the girl to whom he was betrothed bet
200 francs that they could kiss 10000 times in
ten hours, provided they would be allowed
TO take an occasional glass of wine "be-
tween" Two persons were appointed
committee TO count the number of kisses,
and the work began. During the first
hour they counted 1000 kisses. During the
second hour the kisses were not nearly as nu-
merous, for the committee only counted
1000. After the third hour, during which
they managed to score but $50, further op.
erations were brought to a sudden standstill.
The lips of tho young man were seized with
q cramp, and he was carried off in faintng
condition. The girl few days later was
seized with brain fever, which nearly carried
her of to land where kissing snder any
form is unknown. When the people who had
won the bet demanded their money the pa
rents of the girl refused TO pay her share of
il. The matter was then taken TO the courts,
and there it was decided that the bet must be
paid.

Grants Cuban Smash.Up.

Havana Cor. New YORK Tribune.
BY $3.50 O'Clock the visitors had returned
to La Union and started in the special trair
toreturn to Havana. The day had been {
long and fatiguing one, and most of the party
found as convenient positions as possible
for catching n nap. An hour after starting
they were suddenly aroused by an omnou;
iolting and rocking of the
train, accompanied by that
uuivering sensation which any one who has
ever experienced railroad catastrophy will
well remember Every one Jumped up and
grasped seat in anticipation of smash-up
or the upsetting of the coaches, of which
there were two and n baggage car. When the
train suddenly stopped there was n general
rush for the door, and when nearly every
body else was on the ground gazing round in
the dim starlight, General Grant appeared
at the door of his coach, conspicuous in his
long white duster. After preparatory puff
Mt his cigar he asked if any damage had been
done. Tho Spanards were very much ex-
cited, an lanterns were brought showing
that the engine was off the track on one
side, the coaches diagonally across it, and the
rear of the train off on the other side. The
presence of mind of the engineer in uckly
reversing the engine was all that saved a ser.
ious accident, as in a few seconds more the
coupling Would have broken and the coaches
probably have rolled down an embankment
several feet high. The engineer persisted in
saying, "Toro toro.' 1t was n toro. Lam
terms were taken, and back about six rods
by the side of the track lay a cow, dead. The
fireman, negro, came hobbling in, very
mu h demorallzed and covered with blood.
The shock had thrown him from the engine
and the stones had cut his head badly. An
ordinary head would have been cloven in two
by the fall, but doctor who was along as
stired the man, as was almost necessary,
that he was not dead, and further
more that no bones were broken.
1t was a grave question what
to do. The nearest station was four miles
away and it was necessary to walk the track.
