 | -. 1.-THE woRLD''
 The spectacular drama entitled ''The I World, , which was presented to fair-sized
 audience at CarlIs Opera house last evening
 is appropriately named, 50 far as it depicts
 the misfortunes trials and terrible situations
 and adventures that fall to the lot of some
 human lives upon this mundane sphere. Te 1 be driven from home as an outcast robbed
 of hard earned gains, blown up in 8 steam
 ship, starving 10 death on life raft, nearly murdered in a.. hotel, and forced
 the experiences through which the principal character and hero is sup
 posed to pass triumphing in the end, how ever, and marrying the girl he loves is tht
 happy denoument. The play was in tht
 main excellently rendered, the company be
 ing an able one. A great part of the scenery
 vas the company's, and gave an additiona
 interest to the play. As the greater part o
 the audience had never experienced
 the effects of being blown ur
 by an internal machine, and felt quite
 secure in their comfortable seats, the explo
 sion on shipboard was looked forward tc
 with marked interest. Its final continuation
 with fire bursting up through the deck o1
 the steamer was greeted with enthusiastic
 applause. The raft scene which followed
 was most realistic. The shipwrecked pas
 sengers clinging to a raft tossed about on {
 billowy sea was as thrilling and life like as
 could be desired and stirred the au
 dience into expressions of genuine approval
 In some of the following portions there was
 Q little dragging and the stage workings were
 not as complete. The interest was kept ur
 to the end of the piece, which throughout
 was much enjoyed. This evening and to
 morrow afternoon and evening the perform
 ance will be repeated and at each presenta. tion should be greeted with large attend ance.
