KeIIarss Com bination at the Grand
Last Night-.A Good show, but the
Gallery Gods Rebel Against the
spiritual ManifestatiOn.
If the people constituting the good-sized
audience at the Grand opera house last
night were fond of witnessing marvellous
things without being able to explain exactly
how they are done, then they were fairly
entertained by Kellar and his phenomena
combination. Two of the best tricks adj
vertised were not given, namely, the bud
ding flowers and the vanishing lady. The
failure of the first is to be attributed to
the railroad accident yesterday morning, as
the flowers which were to bloom, ira la,
were on the fatal train en- route from
Chicago The vanishing lady trick
was omitted simply because DIAL
vini has been doing it in such
bungling manner the management had to
knock it off. Kellars illusions and expert
mentS in the hrSt act, including the auto
maton Psyches performances, were ex-
ceedngly clever. Kellars short methods
of arithmetical calculations are astounding
to the ordinary audience, although appar-
emily simple enough after he has explained
them. D'Alvini's japanese Juggling is
Skillfully done, but in the main repetition
of the same tricks that were performed by
the Jap with the Kralfy's BLACK Crook"
SHOW The musical bottles are missing,
and the female assistant superseded by a
bright Japanese boy who does some excel
lent acrobatic feats. 1t was in the last act
the wonderful cabinet act. that the audi
ence had the
PICNIC OF FUN.
The failure of the usual investigating
committee detracted somewhat from the in-
terest of the spiritual manifestation, but
the fat refusal of the electric lights to dim
their brilliancy and shrould the opera house
in Plutonian darkness was still greater
drawback But to cap the climax of disap-
pointment, the gallery gods were out of
harmony with the spirits and insisted on
turning on the lights just as the spirits
were in their best tune for frolic. Not
withstanding all these vexatious obstacles,
Kellar got through with his cabinet per-
fOrmance in really good style. The same
performance tonight, with the promise that
the flowers will be on hand, barring rail-
road accidents. and with little drill in
handling the lights and policeman or two
in the galleries to keep the gods in subjec-
ton, there is no reason why the entertain
ment may not be made success. Sale of
reserved seats for Duff's Opera company

hody's particular friend is noboiy's.
Children should always he taught
reverence and respect for the aged.
/ is not what you lose but what
you have daily to bear, that is hard.
Just as a man enters unon knowI-
edge death slams the door in his
face.
Better than he who wipes away a
tear is he who prevents it from start
ing.
Were every one to sweep before
his own house, every street would be
clean.
The rich are more envied by those
who have a little than by those who
have nothing.
When you are the anvil, have
patience; when you are the hammer,
strike straight and we'll.
Young folks tell what they do;
old ones what they have done; ard
fools what they will do.
If you intend to do a mean thing
wait till to morrow. If you are to
do a noble thing, do it now.
Consider how few things are
worthy Of anger, and you will
wonder that any but fools should be
in wrath.
