State of Nebraska has arrived with 400
immigrants. 1t was rumored that there

FEEDING THE HUNGRY.
The Salvation Ai.my's Free Christmas
Dinner.

Dinner.
The dinner given by the Salvation
Army at the Pentecost Mission Hall on
Third street on Monday was well
patronized. 1t is claimed that dinner was
supplied to 700 men.
Comparatively few of those who were
fed belong in this city, showing that
hundreds of wanderers had gathered
here from elsewhere to partake of the
Army's hospitality.
AS rule the men were well behaved,
but as only $50 could get to the tables at
one time, there was necessarily more or
less crowding and some confusion, and a
few unruly persons had to be removed
by the police.
Captain" Harmon managed the affair
with the skill for which she is noted in
handling large bodies of people, and
together with the other members of the
Army-deserves much credit for her un-
tiring efforts on behalf OF the homeless
and hungry.
To a RECORD UNION reporter she ex-
pressed deep gratitude. on behalf of those
who had enjoyed such a good dinner, to
those who had contributed thereto. She
named particularly the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the Congregational Church, the
Catholic Ladies' Aid Society, the chill
dren of the Westminster Presbyterian
Church, Mayor Steinman and others;
also to the RECORD UNION and Bee for
the publicity given to the efforts OF the
Army.

ADJUSTMENTS

At the Metropolitan Theater tonight,
Madeline Merli in 1.-THE Story OF Kiss"
dramatized from the text of Zola Mad
cline Merli is represented as handsome
and talented actress who was for three
years a leading lady in the company of
the elder Salvini. The Pittsburg Leader
is quoted recently as saying of the piece
and company: 1.-The Story Of Kiss is
probably the greatest society drama ever
penned. Its light passages are bright and
humorous; its tragic lines full of deep
emotion. Miss Merli gives a mastery
English Interpretation, has great dra-
matte power, and scores a we'll merited
success" Another journal is quoted as
saying: Madeline Merli, the star, has
won great laures in the old world, hav-
ing appeared before the royalty of Italy,
England, Spain and Russia as leading
support to Salvini. She possesses beauty,
genius and intellect" The San Jose
Mercury of yesterday said of the troupe
and play: at is an exceedingly good
company and the performance proved q
delight to the audience"
1.-THE Fairy Circle" a romantic story
told with good dramatic effect, is the holi-
day piece at the Clunie Opera House. 1t
drew large audience Monday night and
the applause was demonstrative. The
audience last night was equally as warm
in its approval. The chief scene in the
play is with wholly new scenery by
Duran, and one of the handsomest ever
put upon the opera house stage. With
its beautiful flowers. foliage and the gilt
ter of gold and silver trimming under
changing calcium lights, it excites the
admiration of all and well deserves it,
Mr.. Ward has the leading part, O'Flan-
nigan. whose encounter with the fairies
is both amusing and charming in its con-
ceit and withal reads a fine lesson
and draws good and strong
moral. Miss May Powers as King OF
the fairies for once loses herself, forgets
her personality and gives evidence of the
ability she possesses, and manifests when
ever she ceases to be seif-conscious. Six
little girls as fairy attendants make a
handsome retinue for the King, aided by
the graceful dancing of Idalene ana Lot
tie O'Malley. the former giving the
serpentine dance. Last night she was
thrice recalled. Mr.. Berch, as the hero,
has capital part and plays it with un-
common spirit. Mr.. Bacon, Mr.. Me-
Curdy and Mrs. Ward have the low
comedy part, as foils to the character so
well sustained by Mr.. Ward. The play
is charming idyl. 1t viii run for the
