ADJUSTMENTS.

There was a fair house at the Metropoli-
tan Theater to welcome Mrs. General
Tom Thumb and Count Rosebud and
Baron Little Finger. All three are re-
markably well preserved people for
dwarfs. The little lady, born in 1871.
looks scarcely older than when she was
here twelve years ago. She says she has
excellent health, has travelled and ex-
hibited 50 long that it is second nature to
her and will probably follow the
business until old age puts in its veto.
Her husband, Count Magri, is but
slightly taller than his wife. He is brisk,
active, talkative and as merry as a boy Of
10. He is withal a sharp business man.
The Baron, his brother, is shorter in
stature and equally as well preserved.
These three people have travelled prob
ably more than any living persons in
the ''show business" The enter
tainment they gave last evening was
very light but not unpleasing. They
constituted the chief attraction Of the
evening by reason of their fame as
dWarfs, but as perfectly developed as
people of normal growth, and as having
been of the company that Barnum made
famous and that so largely contributed to
his fame in return. because of their in
telligence, full development, success in
life and there long engagement in public
entertainments, they are the best known
dwarfs in the world. The lady dresses
elegantly, wears on the stage wealth of
diamonds and bears herself very grace
fully for so small a body. She sang a
ballad in voice that was barely heard
over the noisy orchestra, in a little COM
edy nicely played part, and in a closing
scene was the subject of the old-time
trick of aerial suspension by Logrenia,

ers Magri engaged very amusingly in
leading parts in the comedy, and gave a
fencing exhibition. They are very skill
ful with the toils. The Count also i'm
personated in speciality act the Duchess
of Devonshire, and in another peasant
woman, and sang and danced cleverly-
indeed, he is a clever comedian and a
very good singer, and his tenor natural
and falsetto is really surprising.
He and his brother also gave
a fife and whistling duet. Georgia

in a pleasant speciality act sang a comic
song acceptably and gave an excellent
skipping rope dance. Later with her
part to give him opportunity in a Dutch
dialect part, which he rendered fairly
well. Charles II. Clark, a low comedian,
appeared in the comedy and in two
speciality acts, one in black and one in
white face. He is clever, a good comic
singer and low comedian of good quality.
Logrenia is worker III modern magic,
He uses little apparatus and has no as
sistants. What he does ne does well.
He will average with good workers in
that line. He is a very self-possessed
man, chats famiiiarly with the audience
and manages to do carving of English

fractions, therefore, are neither startling,
novel, nor superior; the three little peo-

interest of the entertainment, and when
the difficulties of their physical status are
taken into account. This afternoon at 2:3O

bill of last night being repeated. At its
