however, q more general steadiness in most
staple lines. At Boston the confidence in
a t,voraoe prospect tor the latter portion
OF the winter is marked. The distribution
OF dry goods from eastern cities is as quiet
q expected. Commission houses are do,

reported to be a fair movement in brown
cO'tous on export orders. The domestic
consumption is moderate. Raw wool is as

for low and medium grades as OF late, but
there IS also some request tor the finer

AN INTERNAL MACHINE

Placed In a Rich Quarter of Chicago and
Is Discovered in Time.
CHICAGO. December 26.-An interna'
machine was placed by some unknown
party il the yard Of the Tree residence.
The deadly continuance looked like a com,
mon lamp, and thinking it was put in the
yard by some practical joker, the coach,
man removed it to to the front yard. On
laying it down he wa Mortified to
notice that a fuse was attached
to the machine. A hurried inspection re.
vealed that it was not the innocent thing it
was deemed to be andit was left untouched
until Officer G~sllsgher's arrival. The
latter carried it to the Central Station.
His appearance created the widest excite,
ment and the officers lost no time in get
ting to the outside. Many OF them
mindful Of Otto Franks ex.
pertinent with internal machines
ran pell nell out OF the station and Gal
lsgher was forced to dispose of the ma
chine himself. He carried it to a powder
dealer but this man refused to touch it.
A clerk in the store, however, examined it
and at 6rst sight pronounced it a finely
constructed dynamite bomb. Take it
out of here. Explode it at once" shouted
the frightened clerk, "or it will blow up
the whole street Gallagher and
the clerk FASTENED with the ma
chine to the lake front, where
preparations were made to explode the
bomb and a fuse five feet long was attach
ed TO the machine and fred. Both men
ran win all speed to a safe distance. None
too soon, for they hadn't gone 200 feet
when the machine exploded with a ire
uendous noise. The report was heard as
far west as Fifth Avenue, and an ide of
the force OF the explosion may be had at
the way the ground was torn up for u
depth Of six feet the hard frozen ground

ADJUSTMENTS.
MISS LIZZIE e Ans.

Standing room only was again the
legend displayed at the Opera House box
office yesterday afternoon on the occasion
of Miss Lizzie Evans appearance as The
Culprit Fay" in the play Of the same
name. Every aisle in the house, up stairs
and down, was occupied by ladies and
gentlemen unable to obtain seats. From
her first appearance upon the stage until
the fall Of the curtain upon the last
act Miss Evans pleased and delight
ed the audience immensely. She
portrays q bright, sparkling story Of Amer.
lean country life, which is peculiarly fitted
to her talents. The sudden change from
romp and hilarity to passion and pathos,
goes to show how much versatility Miss
Evans possesses. Her dancing and sing
ing is as artistic as any artistic who makes
these accomplishments q specially. The
support was as strong as the average com
bination which we see in the city. Mr.
f.. K. Msrsden as Reuben Adair
was very manly and easy in his
part. The singing of Mr.. Corey
and Miss Evans wss greatly enjoyed. The
announcement that Mr.. Will D. Ingram
would appear as Arthur Foram, the
dude, alone drew hundreds TO the house
His CHARACTERIZATION Of the bowling swell
Was quite up 10 nature, don't you know
and he was frequently a%pp!suded; The

was exceptionally well done.
In the evening another large audience
witnessed "FIorette," a play which possess,
es many excellent points. The characters
were well played throughout, and applause
was liberal. In the third act Mr.. Corey
sung his great Hit Ny Mother song, being
recalled i've times.
