the stage who has made SO many important
successes as Mr. Haworth. During his en-
tire stage career he has never made an artistic
failure. His professional career was begun
in Cleveland when but boy as a member of
John Ellsler's stock company. Here he
played all the juvenile parts for several sea-
sons, and when but sixteen years old played
Hamlet with the greatest success. From
that time his success as actor was assured.
MI. HaWorth left Cleveland TO accept posi-
tlonln the Boston Museum stock company.
He remained there for five seasons,
playing anything and everything. He was
equally successful tragedy comedy and comic
opera. Three of his most notable successes
In Boston were Hamlet" Charles Surface,
in THE School for Scandal" and Grosvenor,
in Patience" He was the original Gros-
vener in this country. and made the most
emphatic hit He was offered leading busi-
ness at the Museum, but declined. He left
there to accept the position Of leading man
III the company Of John Mccullough. The
tragedlan was very fond of Haworth, and
predicted that he would live to become the
greatest actor in America. The prediction
has come true. After the death of McCul-
Tough, HaWorth was starred i'll "Hoodman
Blind" remaining with that company for
two seasons. Then he created many impor-
tant parts in New York, among them the
Count in "Druise," the hero in "a Moral
Crime" Phillip Herne, in the play of that
name, and most important of all, "Paul
kauyar." The success of Mr. Haworth in
the latter play is a matter of stage history.
Paul Kauvar' is a grand play. 1t deals
with the dark days of the French revolution,
ana gives one q grand idea of the causes
which led to that great uprising. Written in
the most picturesque way. 1t is pregnant with
interesting situations and stirring incidents.
The dream OF Paul Kauyar in the first act, is
one OF the most remarkable pictures ever
given 20 the stage. IL shows all the horrors
OF the gulllotine. The mob scene which
ends the play is another remarkable scene
The mob tears into the palace of the Royalist
general and hacks it to pieces, led by Carrac
Taken all in all. it is q fine performance and
thoroughly deserves the success which it has
achieved. Ilr. Haworth has the support of a
fine company. Miss Lizzie Rochelle is the

actress, and has made reputation by her

Every now and then nature. usually SO
tidy, SO rational and so regular, is guilty of
some stupendous exception. The Siamese
twins, the tWo-headed baby, now dead, and
last, but by no means least Mabel Corbin. the
wonderful tour-legged girl, are the great his
torical exceptions to natures almost ire
fragibe regularity. Mabel Corbin, pretty
little girl of some six or eight summers, is
the only human. quadrnped whose name his
tory records. She is alive. she is full of life,
and dances about on her four little feet, as
bright and winsome as any little girl in the
land. She is a happy, ,brighteyed and
pretty hammered little thing and makes
friends with everybody she meets.
She romps and plays, has her own little
doll and enjoys herself the same as another
little girl, in spite of the singularity OF her
position: She is simply a healthy, happy
shild, with the one exception that divides
her from all others that she has four limbs
instead of two. There is 10 explanation for
this strangs phenomena. 1t is one of the
things that science could not anticipate and
can never eXblain. 1t is simply an unalter-
able fact. This little girl will appear all
next week at the museum.
The Olympie's Offering to It's patrons this
week consists of specialties pure and simple
and laugh inspiring. Jugglery, character
sketches, dancing and acrobatIc features of
superatiye order; musical burlettas and
sparkling farce comedy for which Manager
Wells stands sponsor and will launch all go
to make up an exceptionally strong attrac-
ton. The chief feature will be the jugglery
and Asiatic act of Hadje Mahofode Cheriff,
an Arab fresh from the sands OF Sahara and
the original ''Whirlwind OF the Desert" He
is considered to be the greatest juggler and
most proficient handler of weapons of war
in the vaudeville profession. The entertain

The announcement that arrangements have
been completed by Manager Dean, of the
Harris theater, for second series Of concerts
by the Danz orchestra, has given universal
satisfaction. The final concert of the present
series occurs on Sunday next, and even at
The generous patronage accorded these con.
certS is sufficient indication OF their excel
lence. TOR 81 concert audience in st. Paul is
invariably a critical one. On each occasion
that concert has been given under the
above auspices the house has been packed,
and the enthusiasm awakened by the excel
lent entertainments furnished is unbounded.
Prof. DanZ is already engaged in the prepara-
ton of the programmes for the new series,
and Ill response to the numerous requests
from all quarters it is probable that Soltsk1's
beautiful Dream of the Alps will be re-
peated on at least two occasions Exquisite
as the stage decorations at these concerts
have already been Manager Dean is making
preparations for a still more elaborate de-
parture in that direction. Preparations are
going forward for surrounding the stage
with tropical plants, amid the foliage of
which will gleam myriad electric lights, and
the carrying out of the proposition promises
TO make the stage resemble corner of Venice
in carnival time. The first concert of the
second series will occur two weeks from next
Sunday. and there is already lively demand
for seats for that date.

Arrangements for the great May festival

the grandest event of the kind in the history
of st. Paul. The artists are ali enthusiastic
about their work and are delighted with the

rehearsal will be held Monday evening at
o clook. and it is to be hoped that all the
members will be present, as this is the only
rehearsal called for this week. great nov
