The remains of Mrs. Lundgren, the
aged Swede woman who died under
mysterious circumstances about year
ago, were disinterred yesterday at the
instance of the county attorney in order
that Prof. Gillette might make further
chemical analysis of the htestines in
search for poison. The. evidence will
who will be tried at the next term of
the district court on the charge of hav-
ing murdered the woman in order to
gain possession of few hundred dol
lars. The remains were badly decom-
posed, and it is feared but little addi-
tiOnal evidence can be secured.
AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Miss Vokes had no reason to complain
of her house last night. for it was very
we'll filled, and a very well-behaved
audience. 1t is not SO certain, however,
that the audience had so much reason to
be enraptured with the performance as
Miss VOl1es had reason to be with the
audience. This thing of breaking up
a performance with three distinct plays
instead of making three acts of one con-
tinuous plot is all innovation that it will
take time to reconcile theater-goerS to.
And more especially when the first
act consists of such an ex-
ceedingly stupid thing as IA
Game of Cards.'' The second act
however. compensated very largely for
the first, and it had to make it up for
good many defects in the third. Put
ting it in plain English, MY Milliner's
Bill'' is the only one of the three so
called comediettas deserving the name.
1t gives scope for some clever character
acting, which is acceptably performed
by Miss Vokes and Mr.. Thorpe. Miss
V0kes came here heralded as an inter-
prefer OF refined comedy. She plays
comedy and plays it well, but if it is
called refined comedy in-England, then
the English ideas OF refinement are pc
variety, still of the higher order.
And yet is not Annie Pixley's
or Lotta's style. Miss Vokes is cute,
without being chic. She sings well,
dances better, and disentangles herself
from bundle Of skirts ana trains with
a graceful skill that is phenomenal.
Felix Morris gives good impersOnation
of an old man in the first act and an
English country ''jake'' in the third.
Mir. Thorpe is the most finished actor of
the company. The same bill tonight.
AT THE PEOPLES.
The performance OF Ours" at the
Peoples last evening for the benefit
of Company G. Nj. N. G., drew a
crowded house. ours" is a military
comedy, plot being laid in the Crimea.
In the first act, Shendryn park, England,
is the scene of family jar between Sir
Alexander Shendryn and Lady Shen-
pryn, the cause being jealousy on the
part of Lady Shendryn. Sergeant
Jones, who had lately become the
happy possessor Of twins, is about re-
ctlvlng congratulations; Blanche Haye
and Mary Netley, wards of Sir Alex
are In the park discussing the merits OF
two young bachelors, Angus McAlliSter.
"a poor but tender hearted member
of Ours" and Hugh Chalcote,
rich and self-Satisfied young man who
riage is failure with Six Alex and
his lady, so that he will not try it,
though at the end of the war he thinks
better of it. Prince Kerofsky, a Rus
sian nobleman, is in England on mill
tary and matrimonial business, the lat
ter seeming to be foremost, aud he is
pleading for the hand of Blanche,who is
already in love with Angus McAllister.
In act second every one goes to the war,
Sir Alex and Lady Shendryn parting
without even handshake. In this
scene CompanylC, NJ. N. g., gives the
march by moonlight. During this march
the house went wild with enthusi-
aSm, and the company was recalled
five times. Act three is hut in the
Crimea where Hugh Chalcote is limping
and cooking mutton and vegetables.
The ladies visit the hut in the absence
of the soldiers, and at the close a recon-
cilliation is brought about between Sir
Alex and Lady Shendryn, and engage
ments between the other parties, after
which peace is declared. Mr.. Cotton as
Sergt. Jones is an excellent pers0nifica-
ton of man whose family is bigger
than his income. Mrs. Mary Myers as
Lady Shendryn, Miss; lie Baron as
Blanche Hays and Miss Young as Mary
Netley We're all good. Messrs. Lip
man, Russell, Stanley and Huebner
the benefit to Company G, NJ. N. &, was
a brilliant success.
AT THE OLYMPIC.
Judging from the large and enthusi-
astic audience that greeted the initial
performance of Emily Rosina Soler's
"Royal Consolidation" at the Olympic
last night, Manager Wells has hit the
nail OH the head" in catering to the
taste of mis- patrons, and recognizes the
fact that the frst-class combinations are
the best patronized. The performance
commenced with Twenty Minutes
With the Oriental Carnival" in which
songs, jokes. funny sayings and Sultana
Ashia, the Arabian princess, introduced
the Arabian national dance, an exhibit
ton unique, novel and fascinating.
Mons. Natalce. the Grecian wonder,
gave remarkable exhibition in his bal
ancing act, erecting pyramid OF chairs
forty feet upon the top Of which he per-
forms daring acts, requiring nerve,
strength and agility. Miss Kittie Mel
vile in pleasing songs, followed by the
Vienna Lady Fencers, whose adroitness
in welding the foils was thrilling
and interesting sight. Gus Warren, the
German dialect comedian, delighted
the audience with clever singing and
dancing. The latter was particularly
good as he dances, with shoes weigh
Ing a pound apiece. Frank and Nora
Williams, in their musical sketch,
"whins," gave pleasing rendition of
popular songs, dances, etc. Myles
Morris. the original Barney the Guide,
warmed the hearts of his countrymen in
songs and stories OF the '.gem of the
sea-" The lovers OF the manly art of
self-defense were pleased by the rat
thing three-reund contest engaged in by
young Dempsey and Jack Carroll.
Goldie Melville. the juvenile songstress,
captured the hearts of the audience by
her cute singing and wing dancing. The
whole concluded with the laughable and
spicy extravaganza, Uncle Josh and
the Female BatherS," introducing the
Co-CO-Yea festivities and the Honolulu
dancers. This is one of the best shows
the Olympic has had this season, and
standing room only" will be the rule.
The same bill tonight and balance Of
week.
