CRAWFORD OPERA HOUSE.

The management OF this favorite play
house announces the engagement Of
Pauline Hall aud her opera company,
Sunday night, Jan. 29th, in a grand pro
duction OF the famous comic opera
Ermtnie. This opera has made probably
the strongest impression in the hearts OF
the music loving public for its melody,
catchy airs, many mirth provoking situI-
tions and characters which appeals to all
classes of any opera Of the day. The
career of three years at the Casino, New
York, aud pronounced success elsew here
bespeaks the greatest favor at the hands
of tue public. Miss Hall will be seen in
her original character, Erminie, and her
rendition OF the Lullaby song is lasting
memory in the minds of frequenters Of the
theatre. The iucorrigible Cadie and
Ravvey, impersonated by Mr.. Frank
David and Harry Marlborough, will
no doubt revivify two of the
strongest roles known in comic opera.
Miss Eva Davenport, Mr.. Harry Macdon-
ough and Mr.. John Brand were in the
original production with Miss Hall. The
opera will be staged with scenery made
from the original models among which
the ballroom scene is absolutely famous
for its peculiar and dainty pink color,
making delicious background for the
rich costumes.
In short the deicaoy in music made may
expostulate the student in dramatic con
struction and he may groan at its moon
sistency but the fact remains that ''Erm-
ME" has made for itself place IN thu
hearts OF the theater going public which
no work of IFS nature has ever been able TO
attain

Thugs AND THIEVES.

Wichita is at the present time full of
men who do not earn their bread by honest
| toll. There are hundreds of them. They
| are all of the criminal class aud STEPPED
| in crime of greater or less degree.
The new police administration not only
gave it out that ali of that class would
have to get out of the city but acted on
this resolve and many of them have either
skipped out or have been PROMPTLY
arrested for their wrong doing. But they
still come. There is not an hour during
the day but that a huber of them may be
seen about the depots aud strange faces
that would not impress one with the fact
that their owners ever won picture card
prizes for close attendance to Sunday
School, can be noticed on any of the streets
Of the city.
Compared with the large number Of
strangers ia the city the list Of
Migrants of the class known as hobos,
buns or tramps is small, the great
majority of them being well dressed
and who would rather steal than beg.
There have BEEN some complaints, but not
many, from the residence portion of the
city, of annoyance from back door tourists
who always want TO work for "A square
meal, but want the meal fist. This Is not
the season for tral4ps; it Is the season Of
thieves
There never was winter when so much
petty thievtng had been reported, and
there are many little cases that are never
reported. 1t is not only the people of the
city, but the farmers, too, suffer from this
class of vagAbouds. Ihefts from the far
mer are generally larger. high priced hogs
being in great demand with the gents with
purloining proclivities.
The amount of coal stolen from
the railroads aud the coal yards,
is enormous without saying a word of the
private bins that have been emptied.
Chicken roosts and smoke houses have
been raided and many small articles taken
from store fronts. The worst class of all
this motley crew are the men that hang
around the depots and public places look
ing for the youth from the country who
they can inveigle into some questionable
resort and there rob him by one meaus or
another. Ia some cases the money
aud watch of the victim would not satisfy
them; they would take his clothing too
Another lot that might be classed as
quasi-criminal is made up of big, lazy
louis of young men, too lazy to work at
honest Dor, but who will peddle some
useless article form door to door, all the
time watching for an opportunity to steal
something. They are the ones that give
you double assurance that tramp or a
peddler should never be allowed to once get
inside your house.
In addition 70 oil fhaCa ha blarc
tin horns of course, lay for larger prey but
since the gambling houses have been
closed this class have very largely left the
city. There are some of them that can
yet be spared.
Several burglaries have been effected
and many more attempted.

THE CURSE OF AUSTRALIA.
KanSaroos Killed by the Thousand. But
Still Plentiful In Some Places.

Kangaroos Killed by the Thousand. But
Still Plentiful In Some Places.
The kangaroo plague, says Hard
wiclke's Science Gossip, has always been
a great nuisance to the Australian
squatters, for on an average these ami
mails consume as much grass as a sheep.
1t is stated that on a sheep run of 60. 900
to $4,000 acres 10000 kangaroos were
killed annually for six consecutive
years, and yet their numbers remained
very formidable in the locality. In the
colony of South Australia hundreds of
thousands of kangsroos are slaughtered
annually for their skins and the bonus
offered by the authorities. The num-
beers of these marsupials in New South
Wales in 1889 was estimated to be over
1000, 900, and yet about SOC, 900 kanga-
roos and ESQ., 600 wallabies were de-
stroyed in the colony in that year. A
bonus of sixteen cents for each kanga-
roo killed is offered in Australia; hence
the colonists are gradually exterminat-
ing these native animals. Over half a
million skins are annually shipped TO
England and large number to North
America, to be converted into leather.
The macropidss includes several kinds
of kangaroos and wallabies. The prog
ress of settlement in Australia has
driven these animals from the more
densely populated parts of the Austria
liam continent, but in the country and
unsettled districts they are still numer-
Gus enough to cause very considerable
damage to the natural grasses So
serious has been the injury thus wrought
that the colonial governments and run
holders pay a small sum per head for
the destruction of the kangaroos.

Four or five stout hearted fellows went
under the floor OF the haunted house on
Palisade avenue night before last and ex-
amined the grave spoken of before in the
EAGLE. They dug down nearly five feet
aud found no bones OF any evidences that
a person had been buried there. except
some boards, which seemed to be parts of
a decayed coffin. What has been done
with the body. if any had ever been buried
there, is still a mystery. Hundreds of
people have visited the house, and from
the evidences they see and the statements
they hear, few OF them come away doubt
ing that there is something very peculiar
about the place. Within forty-eight hours
some Investigations will be made that bid
fair 10 solve the mystery if there is any
thing in the theory held by many that the
spirits OF the dead walk about in this
