following was the programme:
Omaha daily bee., 1888-01-06

Chicago Inter-Ocean: The biggest
man, from financial point OF view, is a
man who revels in the alliterative name
of Johnny Jones of Dunedin, New Zea-
land. Jones is not a name that COM
mends itself to any one by reason OF its
oddity, but the Dunedin nabob, who is
thus known, is Il man with a singular
history, and his phenomenal upward
flight from lowly toiler at the oars Of a
ferry-boat to the high estate of mer-
chant prince will bear recounting.
Formerly he piled lusty oar across q
ferry, but one dark night he was taken
in hand by "a kindly fate and steered
right into mine OF wealth. A large
robbery had been committed during the
day, and as night came on the robbers
appeared at the ferry landing with their
plunder. Hastily they entered the boat
and invoked Johnny to strain every
nerve to reach the opposite shore quick
ly. The detectives were close in their
wake, and on touching the shore the
gang of crooks bethought themselves OF
nothing but safety. Jumping from the
Doat they scampercd across the country,
leaving their treasure in the possession
of Mr.. j. Jones. That worthy was very
poor, but very sly, and he froze on to
the money-bags with all the vim OF n
salty nature, and quietly waited until
the excitement had subsidized. Then he
invested his little pile in n short steam
boat line, and making IA handsome profit
on the investment, soon brought out u
larger line. Now he is fabulOusly
wealthy and has an interest, minor or
major in almost every steamship limo
that finds Dunedin paying port TO

Champs of the Muscles Cured.

John |. Wood, of Stratford, Ont, was
cured of cramps in the legs by wearing
Allcock's Porous Piasters. Mr.. Wood
says:
Some three months ago was taken
very sick with severe pain in the small
of my back over the kidneys. The'pain
was excruciating. / applied an ALL
region and had relief almost within an
hour. At the same time, in con junction
with this trouble, had very great
nervous disturbance, affecting my legs
with cramps so | could scarcely sleep.
Meeting with such success with my back
applied plaster under the knee on
each leg, and in three days was COM
pletely cured, and have never been
troubled in either way since.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The Convent of
the Sacred Heart, on One Hundred and
lhlrty-eecond street, between Tenth and
81. Nicholas avenues, was consumed BY
IRE tonight. 1t was an immense build
Ing, with frontage of three hundred feet,
including an east and west wing, each of
which was about one hundred feet square.
1t has long been known as a place of ex-
ceIlence in education, and many children
0i parents of wealth and prominence have
been educated there. There were l95 per-
sons IN the convent at Che time of the fire,
all OF whom escaped without injury. The
loss is about 100000, on which there is
only an Insurance Of about 100000. The
1ro started in the c,pola of the building,
which was undergoing extensive nltera-
liohS' Plumbers were at work during the
day, and left a little charcoal furnace
burning in the cupoa. 1t was about ten
minutes past eight O'Clock when the
Mother Superior Jones, Vicar of the East

part of the house Mother Duffy had
charge of fifty children, who wcrn all in
