CRAWFORD GRAND.

A Boston exchange says of "a Child OF
Naples"
A play which, its merits comparatively
unheraided, can arouse the not too numer-
Gus and rather lukewarm Boston audience
of snowy night to an enthusiasm that
would hardly shame the Italy In which
the scene moved-an enthusiasm hndlng
expression in such bursts of applause dur
ing the scene as brought the play TO a
pause, and, at the end of the scene in triple
recalls of the leading actor-is play
whose effect upon the spectator is hardly
open to question. As dramatic story, "A
Child of Naples" is of vivid, instant and
highly sustained interest; as frame for
a character sketch of immense vitality, 1t
is of permanent worth to the stage"

metropolitan stage, is finally coming %

York for an extended engagement, after a
brilliant season in San Francisco. Mana

appearance here, unusually large terms
and is enthusiastic over her coming.
Everybody has heard of Maude Granger,

wears, her engagements during that time
having been confined exclusively to New
York Boston, Philadelphia and the prin-
cipal cities of the east. By special ar
rangement her engagement here will be
extended to two nights-neXt Friday and
Saturday On Friday evening she will
be seen in her new play 'Inheritage," OF

will present her own version of 1.-The
Creole" As played by her over 500 times in
the principal theaters of the east. Her en-
gagement just closed in San Francisco
was one of the most brilliant and fashion

engagement will be the excellent support

will be left undone to promote their en-

large or small they will find comfortable
accommodations. No one will make the

relaxation. The bright prospects OF the
city have put the people in good hnmor

in and join in the fun. This invitation
includes the peopleof Glasgow, Chinook,

"Fourteen years ago yesterday the sun
rose bright and warm over the hills
guarding the chanael of the Little Big
Horn. Before the same sun had reached
meridian Custer, Keogh, Yates, Hodg-
son, and the long list of officers and men
of the Seventh cavalry were lying dead
near the brink of the brawling stream
named. 1t was days afterwards, despite
the wonderful run Grant Marsh made
down the Big Horn, Yellowstone and
Missouri rivers, before Maj. Ed Smiths
telegram from Bismarck electrified the
world with an account of the disaster.
Can you name, on the instant, any habit
able part of the United States, where at
this date, nearly three hundred dead or
wounded men could lie for days without
the world being the wiser? If such a
spot there be it Is not in the valleys of
the Yellowstone, of the Missouri OF of
their tributaries" In no region is the
change which the Pioneer Press refers
to so wonderous as in and around Great
