GRAND OPERA HOUSE,

selves In their wonderful stage tricks and scenic illusions.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The new and successful comedy drama, "The Orphans of New York;" was pre- sented to large and well pleased audience last evening. That sterling young actor, N. S. Wood, in the character of Percy At wood, was seen at his best, and his efforts were greeted with tumultuous applause Harry Roberts, as Floyd Gladbrook, was Elsie the Orphan. was very amusing, as was Emil Grof-Graf, in Myer Schwab. The scenery of the production is capital, the representations of Battery park, New York, and of the destruction by fire of the New York Catholic orphan asylum, being especially clever and realistic.
 "Grime's Cellar Door" will be the attrac- tion the first three nights of next week.
 PRocToR's OPERA HOUSE.
 The Askin & Rork Opera company, in- cluding Digby Bell, Laura Joyce Bell, Mar ion Manols and Hubert Wilke, presented the latest burlesque opera success, "The Tar and the Tartar" to a large and well pleased audience last evening. There is not much music in it worth remembering, but there are carloads of fun and the au- dience seemed more than pleased. Mr. Bell is very funny comedian, and was never funnier than last evening. MT. Wilke, Miss Manola and Mrs. Bell sang the light music of the composer very acceptably and the chorus and orchestra were equal to the occasion. The performance was given with true metropolitan vim and dash, and it was apparent that the opera was in the hands of regular" company and not one hastily organized to appear before country audiences. The second act was the best, and MT. and Mrs. Bells illustration of the motto "God Bless Our Home," went ahead of anything in the burlesque line which has been offered to an unsuspecting public for a long time Difference in the Morning. received half a dozen encores. If Colonel Reyes will continue to secure such attractions as that of last evening there will be few vacant chairs at any time in his theater.
 Oliver Byron, supported by the charm ing artiste, Miss Kate Byron, and a strong company, will present 'The Plunger" this and tomorrow evenings and to morrow afternoon. A New York elevated railroad station with full train in motion is one of the mechanical features of this play.
 BELLS DIME MUSEUM l
 Bells dime museum on Church street was filled again last evening and an excel 1 lent entertainment was given. Dr. Gold smith pleased all with his comical and mirth-provoking act. The great Billiard in his dislocation feats made himself more than interesting. Emerson and Willard l caused much merriment over their comical | sketch The sailor whittlers kept the la | dies well supplied with the souvenir fans. The new illusion, Rock of Ages, pleases l all.

TWO EXECUTIONS IN PARIS.

foUNG bEhLAND AND DoRE GUILLoTINED-THE
FORMER MAKES A FURIOUS RESISTANCE.
Paris, July 27-The execution of young Berland and
Dore two accompllces of the woman Berand in what
Is Known as the Courbevoie murder. took place this
morning Inc nsual crowds OF people had gathered
last night and early this morning the famous Place
de la Roquette where all Paris executions by the gull
lone take place. The officers managed to maintain
praseworthy degree OF oider In view of the mixed,
rough lawdefyng concourse Of people they had to deal
with.
Dore, when he was aroused at an early hour rubbed
his eyes, scowled at his visitors and them ,uessing
the object OF their coming lie reapsed into state Of
solld indifference, and seemed 70 all outward appear
ances to be utterly Indifferent to what was taking
place. He dressed himself calmly and under the cir
cumstances quickly, and thanked the prison officials
in flrm low voice for the kindness which they had
shown him. Dore, however. did not reply TO the words
addressed TO lin by rAbbe Faurc, tho welknown
prison chaplain. Dore left his cell and tho prison
few minutes later with extreme ccmpOsurc, but he
faltered and tembed he reached the shadow OF the
red painted upgts of the guillotne and caught sight
of the deadly shining knife. The eXecutiOners helped
him mp the steps TO the platform Of the gullotne and
quickly threw him upon the bascule, strapped him
down, slid his head into the unete, and In a second
or so the knife FELL and Does head rolled into the
sawdust- filed basket.
Young Berland died in an entirely different manner
When he was awakened he showed a considerable
amount OF bravado and remarked, with a hideous
SMILE NO more card playing for me-" In CONVERSE
ton with the prison officials and executoneIs while his
toilet was being made Bcrland showed that he resent
cd his mothers reprieve, and that he was much dis
appointed that she was not to die with him. When all
the preparations for death made Berand walked
jauntily across the prison yard, and maintained his air
OF bravado and cool impudence until he reached the
platform Of the gunlotine. Just as the execulo0erS
were upon the point Of throwing him upon the
bascule, or sliding plank, to which he was to be
strapped previous to being pushed beneath the kn'r'
Berland made desperate resistance. and terrible
SCENE took place in full view Of the thousands OF eager
spcctaors. In spite OF his struggles, however the
executioners and guards held Berand upon the scao
and eventually threw him upon tine fatal plank, snd
him beneath the grim uprlghs. and the young Grim
inal was writing flousy. the knife fell, and Ber-
lands head rolled into the basket =, , tn. .
