The various dances will be executed by
young misses between the ages ef eight and
eighteen. headed by popular favorites In
former events of the description.
'Ben-Hur" has been given in various

The features are the drills and dances,
which are ~cleveriy introduced. In the
last scene of the first act is q drill of Ro-
man soldiers The drill is executed by
sixteen fne-looking young men. who bear
we'll the trappings of the homan

most enthusiastic applause. In marked
Contrasts the stately minuet of the nalads.
Twenty-four handsome ladies participate
In this. They are we'll drilled and che

misses in airy black dresses. who dance
Cupid's triumph from Midsummer Nights

to Find Their Father.

Police Matr0n Buchanan has under her
protection two little bright-eyed girls aged
thirteen and nine years. Their names are
Lottie and Ida Neale and they came here
yesterday afternoon from Markleville,
Ind, thinking to meet their father. The
girls told their story to the police matron
yesterday evening and didn't seem to be
greatly frightened at the idea of remaining
in a police station for the night. Lottie
did the talking. and said herself and sister
had been living with Allan Boram at
Markleville until. on account of sickness,
the Boram family was unable to keen them
longer and sent them to this city to q MI.
Steele, with whom their father. who is q
minister of the gospel, had been staying.
The girls had a letter TO the matron at the
Union Station telling their destination.
Mr.. Steele was found in the CyclOrama
Building and said he had not seen Mr.. Neale
for five weeks. The girls wore then sent to
the police station while q search could be
made for the father. The oldest girl said
she had q step-mother who lived some
whore In this city. but she was not good TO
them and they didn't want to find her.
With true sisterly love she showed great
solicitation for her smaller sisters comfort,
and asked q reporter if he thought they
would let them stay all night at the police
station. When informed that she would
be permitted to stay and be well cared for,
her little face frightened up and she said:
'''Cause i wouldn't like for my little sister
to rave to 90 out or the street. But l
think the policeman will find my papa,
