The beastly weather Of last night had
Il very decided effect upon the theatres
ut both houses the audiences were very
small, fact that must be ascribed en-.
tirely to the weather, as the excellence
OF the dramas presented well merited a
good patronage.
AT the Opera House the popular Ger.
man dialect comedian and vocalist.
Charles 7. Ellis, supported by an excel.
ent company, appeared before an audi.
ence that did not reach the proportions
OF even a quarter.full house, in the late
Will Cartoons musical comedy drama,
entitled "Casper, the Yodler." The play
is very prcttily staged, all the settings
being new and prepared especially for
this production. They include a fine
river view, IN elaborate interior" of a
yacht, with companion way and all &C.
cessorics, and particularly beautiful
view OF Barney Castle. Two little ones
add to the effect of several scenes and
help 10 set of Cdsper's good qualities Of
head and heart. The comedian has q
clever way presenting his hearers with
flowers, bonbons, dolls and toys. deity
thrown from the stage here and there.
The play will BIO repeated this evening,
The fonr-act melo.drama "The Bow
Tramp" in which Madame Melville and
son, Augustin, are appearing at the
Grand, is well staged and the play itself
is full OF exciting incidents, and it has a
strain OF comedy that is catching. The
joint stars were warmly greeted last
night despite the smallness OF the audi.
encc. The engagement closes with a
matinee this afternoon and this even
ing's performance.
Reserved seats will be put on sale at
Houses this morningfor the appearance
OF "The Fakir" at the Opera House
next Monday evening, a skit that while
it is all .froth, sparkles like the dew.
There is an abundance OF singing,
dancing and novelties, that keep the
audience in constant good humor.
Mr.. w. G. Boyd, the advance agent
for Mr.. A. NJ. Palmer's original Madison
Square Theatre "Jim, the Penmap"
company, which is to appear at the Or.
era House next Friday and Saturday, is

WEATHER As is WEATHER.
Snow, sieet, Rain and Many Christian

cAoctp
Fell Yesterday. ~ .-,,.l. i,
And still the weather continues 10
change, but never for the better. Thus
far this season this section has been
treated to almost everything but good,
cold seasonable weather. Yesterday an
entirely new brand was put on tap, and
for twelve hours soft slusb, and cold
penetrating rain were the order. Thurs.
day night the full moon rose over the
eastern hills and the sky was clear and
blue. The air was cold, crisp and bracing,
and humanity, under Its influence, put
on n skin.deep smile and seemed par.
TALLY contenied. The fair weather con-
tlnued all night, and ut early morning
tho moon was still throwing q good
strong reflection. About daylight the
change came, rs sudden rs 1t WINS dis
agreeable. Snow commenced falling, and
in half an hour the ground was covered
TO depth OF IN inch, with a soft, slushy,
semi,solution Of chemically combined
slush. Then the sleet began, and In
another hour the surface had become
CLASSY and slippery. The temperature
became warmer and tho sleet turned TO
rain, which softeued the slush to the
consistency Of slop us tough rs hot taiTy,
us slippery as lard md as penetrating 10
shoe leather rs hot grease is to cheese
cloth.
Pedestrianism became bore, then a
thing to be despised, aud finally an
actual hardship, which made the pro.
fame man swear, and created in the
prayeriul citizen tendency TO soak his
shin bones on the pavement. The street
car wheels lost their grip on the rails,
and the wires seemed 80 burdened with
snow and ice that they had not room on
the surface for the electric currents. The
conductors had to run ahend and
sprinkle the rails with sand and the
time for trip was heightened out to q
half more than the usual time consumed.
The people piled into the cars promiscu.
ously, and wet umbrellas poured their
streams on the floor and down the backs
Of non.complaining people. An odor Of
bad breath and soggy garments pervaded
the close atmosphere the cars, which the
ventilators seemed unable TO carry oil,
because, although it was warmer tEan
the outside it was heavier with its bur.
den OF steamy stencil. Street CT ossings
became uncrossablc, and the cutters aud
sewer mouths clogeed up with the
mushy compound which covered all the
earth. 1t was n bad day, and the ill
wind which blew in "titful gusts" blew
nobody good but the vendors OF umbrel.
las, mackintoshes and rubber foot gear.
The shoe stores were filled all afternoon
with sureing mass OF humanity, who
tried on wOol.lined rubbers over soaking
shoes, and spoiled full many pair OF
fancy gums. But business was good
nevertheless, and the shoe dealers
worked oil shelf.worn rubber goods
which they had marked down, and up
again, to suit tho varying weather OF this
memorable March aud April winter. 1t
would be well for young men who are
so unfortunate rs to have been born
before 1890 10 make memoranda OF the
weather Of this winter SO they may tell
their grandchildren OF it, and seem
smart in the eyes Of future generations.

The attention OF the members OF
