Host In New York v

The famous aquatic spectacle, ''Lost in New York" comes to Jacques opt ra house Wednesday evening and a splen- did new scenic production is promised. The play is one of the very few melo- dramas that possesses any dramatic merit and is easily the best of all the so- called realistic dramas. A river of real water, full rigged yacht, row boats, ferries and a genuine steamboat are among the principal realistic effects in- troduced. The company carries two car loads of special scenery all brand new and painted by New Works leading scenic artist, Arthur Noegtler, of the Madison square theatre, New York.

had passed. 1t was not ice,
however, but seemed to be more Of a
crystal, for it would not melt, even
when We held flame to it, and
when struck with Ratchet it sim

not break.
Upon entering the barn we
were amazed, two good horses
stood in their stalls immovable.
They were alive, but neither could
move a muscle. They seemed to
be paralyzed and stood there more
like statues than anything else.
They were warm and breathed all
right, but aside you could not tell
they were alive. l applied the
whip but they did not finch. A
dog that sleeps in the barn was
dead and appeared completely pet
riied. He was lying on the ground
with his head on his paws, lust
like he was sleeping. When l left
home everything was just as I de-
scribed it to YOU"

GRANTS BIRTHDAY.


Salt Lake Tribune
We wonder if anyone thought,
while the great guns were thunder
ing in New York harbor on Thurs
day, that it was the anniversary of
the birthday of General Grant
We wonder if, as the echoes of
those guns swelled up over the hills
and pulsated on the tomb of the in
domitable soldier, if there did not
come softened look on the en-
balmed face within. In his life
time the heart Of Grant beat re-
sponslyely to great guns. He hat
ed war, and accepted it as only one
OF the necessities of the world.
He reflected that, as the earth it's
self was forced to go through con-
vulsion after convulsion to attain
the higher estate; that, as it took re-
peated breaking Of its crust and
terrific storms to make the SHOWS
for its glaciers and perpetual grind
ings OF those glaciers to equip the
earth for its long voyage, and to
make it inhabitable for man, SO to
in nations there have to be convul-
tons, there have to be furious wars;
there has to be the discipline which
comes with the sorrowing and suf-
fering involved in wars. Tn that
spirit he became a warrior, in
that spirit, with a pertinacity
which knew no faltering, he fought
his wars through, and even when
by part of the world he was de-
clared an accident, he left the mar
valous record that never in all his
career did he attack an enemy
that be did not hold his awful
grasp upon him until he was
choked to death or fully subdued.
So he went on from glory to
glory until at last poor and old, he
Engaged to write the story Of his
campaigns, with the thought
deep down that perhaps, through
its sale his wife would be made
comfortable for the rest of her
days, and just then death knocked
at tho door. The invincible man
turned calm eye on the destroyer
and in his old sovereign way babe
him wait until he was ready, and he
finished the book before he permit
ted the specter TO enter. 1t was only
seventy four years ago that this
man was born. For forty years
he was unknown except as a gall
liant soldier in that wonderful cam
paign of SCOTS in the city of Mex
leo. For almost eight years he
has been in his grave, but he lived
long enough, Notwithstanding that
some of the years of his youth we're
wasted, to make for himseld a
name that will go sounding down
the ages for ever, and to give to his
country services which the coming
generation will appreciate more
than does this generation. It is
well that the great guns on the an
niversary of his birthday were sent
to hail with their solemn salutes
the day. Had he not lived what
man could estimate where our nat
ion would have stood today. What
be was to his native land no posi-

dercul Lie.

New York Evening World.
Mark Weston, farmer living
near the small town Of Alexander,
southeast of Delphi, Ind, relates a
most wonderful phenomenon which
occurred at his place, which is
today being visited by hundreds
of people, anxious to see for them
selves the evidences of what Mr..
Weston beheld.
He says: "Just after dark,
night before last, / had occasion to
90 out to the barn to look after
my horses. A public highway
passes within 200 yards of my
house, and the barn is built about
20 rods from the house due south
and somewhat nearer the road. I
started from the house in the
direction of the barn, and had gone
perhaps half way when I noticed
something playing along the
ground that looked like tremen-
dous fiery snake.
'Thc object crossed my path,
and as it did SO I felt the air grow
much colder, and peculiar moan
ing sound arose, like the signing of
Of the wind through the trees, only
it was loud enough to drown
mans voice when he would shout.
Then felt something come over
me like electricity, and I became
motionless, as though / had grown
fast to the ground.
II was terribly scared, but I
never lost the use Of my hands
or legs through fear, though there
was something peculiar in the air
that simply paralyzed me. When
the thing had got perhaps fifty
feet from me, going west, it turned
and came back, aud as it did so
the moaning sound changed to a
shrill whistle, something like a
locomotive would make, and
when it got just in front of me it
took course directly away from
me and. towards the barn..
1T travelled very rapidly and
looked like a large, ragged streak
Of fire, perhaps thirty feet long and
eighteen inches in diameter. The
thing reached the barn, and in
almost an instant it ran up the
front of the building and on to the
roof. ] expected every moment to
see the barn burst into flames but
it did not. The great fiery snake
ran with great rapidity all over the
building, in almost every direction,
up and down, 'cross-ways and every
way, | suppose, thousand times,
then came to the front Of the build
ing and elevated itself until it stood
straight on its tail, fully thirty feet
in tho air.
II was perfectly conscious all
the time, but try as would, I
could not move from the spot.
After the thing had remained in an
upright position for, I presume,
three or four minutes, there was a
sudden explosion, like the dis
charge of a cannon, and the thing
disappeared entirely. With the
disappearance Of the phenomenon
| felt shock like the first one l
had received, and at the same time
regainod tho use of my limbs. I
fastened to the house and told my
wife what I had seen, and she
thought me crazy, but upon my in
