AMUSEMENTS.
The Mikado's Court Given by Juven-
lies at the Grand.

No company that has been at the Grand
opera house for months had such warm
reception as the Juvenile Mikado company
had last evening. The audience was good
and from the first its enthusiasm was al
most unbounded. The leading characters are
little folks hardly more than three feet tall
some of them, and the stage setting and
costumes are magnificent. The little folks
have their lines and airs as perfect as any
grown-up people, and they were full of lit
tie by-plays that are immensely taking.
Little Dick Hollywood as Ko-Ko, the lord
high eXecutioner, a lad of apparently ten
or dozen years has all the
tricks of a professional, and his
queer antics brought him many enthusiastic
encores. Baby Clara Hollywood, hardly as
tall as Dick, was as pretty and about as
large as a japanese doll from which a
highly treble voice came in the airs and dia-
logue. Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, Lolita
Hollywood and Myrtle Loring, were
but a bit taller than YUM um.
and when the ''three little maids from
school' appeared they were given great
applause. Master Martin Hayden, little
larger than those above mentioned, made
very grand Mikado and was encored three
times on his opening song. The company
is large in numbers, and the members Of
the chorus hardly as juvenile as the lead
ing characters. The chorus singing is .ex
cellent, and. as whole, the presentation
of the Mikado'S court is unique and very
entertaining.
w. s. Florence, who will be at the Grand
the last half of this week and the first half
of next, will begin.
THE MUSEUM.
Large audiences were the rule yesterday
at the dime museum, the attractions being
Herr Haag the elastic skin man; Rolla,
the illusion; the Ricketts, brothers and other
clever performers on the stage.
THE OLYMPIC.
The ''Bur Oaks" combination opened
last night to a fine house and pleased the
people greatly. David Higgins as Burr
Oaks was decidedly clever. Miss Josie
Croker as Margie gave a fine personifica-
ton of the sorrOwful wife and mother. The
other characters were well rendered. The
drama of Burr Oaks" is most interest
ing one and nicely put together.
A Serious Accident.
On Thursday evening last Mr.. Joseph
Vance, supervising inspector of steam YES
sells, met with very serious accident,
which will most likely prove fatal. He was
returning from the ice palace grounds,
when, on Cedar street, near the Central
Presbyterian church, he slipped and fell.
striking the back of his head with great
force upon the walk. He became instantly
unconscious. Fortunately gentleman was
with him. who hailed man that was pass
ing in sleigh and. placing Mr.. Vance in
the vehicle, had him conveyed to his resi-
dence on Western avenue. Physicians were
called and every thing was done to restore
him to consciousness but it was all of no
avail. He was unable to recognize any
member of his family. The next morning
it was noticed that he did not move any por-
ton of the right side, and upon examining
and.experimenting with his right hand and
foot the members became satisfied that his
right side was paralyzed. They sent immedi-
ately for the physicians, who confirmed
the suspicious and fears of his family. The
doctors worked with him as much and as
well as they could but could not help him.
Since then he has remained in the same
condition except that on Sunday he APP
peared to recognize his daughter.
