Americas comedy team; Miss May Walsh, pleasing. little serio- comic vocalist; Leslie and Curdy, au- thors, comedians and singers; Cook and Clinton, lady-sharpshooters,in anovel act, the musical xylophone targets; Van and Leslie, refined sketch artists.
 Following the variety show a bright burlesque was given, entitled "The Kings Daughters" During the action of the comedy songs and dances were in- troduced in rapid succession. The lead ling role of "McClusky, Third King of the Isle of Mixed Drinks" was assumed by Billy Van, and his droll humor caused no end of merriment. A bevy of beautiful and shapely girls help out the fun and add to the general attractive ness of the show. There Is plenty in the entertainment that Is novel and we'll worth seeing, and those who visit the Grand tonight will be amply repaid.
 "on the Mississippi" comes Wednes- day and Thursday evenings, with mat inee Wednesday. There are nine nota- ble sets of scenery. These are the Walden range of mountains, a drawing room in a New Orleans mansion, 8 levee scene on the Mississippi at night, in which the colored roustabouts are shown, floating theater at the river front, the interior of the Star and Cres- cent gambling places, the Henry Clay statue, New Orleans, around which 8 Mardi Gras procession evolves, and in which Is introduced the Trocerzoo band; wild and weird Louisiana swamp, made vividly realistic by me chanical effects, with the electrical nov city of fire-fiesS 1tte old jail at Kelly's Ferry, and the old Tyson homestead on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee. In the gambling house scene is Colonel George H. Devol, a veteran Mississippi river card expert. Alice Morley" the $5,000 thoroughbred mare, plays an im- portant part in two scenes. The ad- vance sale of seats is already big.
 The lecture hall annex at the Grand opera house is an established institu- ton, and this week it has an entire change of performance. Miss Alice Garretta delighted the audience last night with her troupe of performing birds and dogs. Another great attrac- tion in the hall Is set of "waltzing dolls'' made by Swelger & Warren of Bridgeport, which is wonderful piece of mechanism, the dolls being seen en- toying a waltz with their male part ners, while in the center of the group the pianist is seen.

 Mir. and Mrs. Kellar appeared before q good sized audience last evening in a delightful program of iegerdemain and occult performances. Among the special features were Mrs. Keliar's remarkable mnemonic and mathematical powers, and the reproduction by Mir. Kellar of several of the world-noted feats of the Hindoo fakirs.
 The grand seidl concert tonight pre- sents features that will undoubtedly be of great interest. Mir. seidl is quick to respond to public demands, and takes delight in providing that which most delights them. The program for to-night's orchestral concert is replete with entertaining things, both for the orchestra of fifty artists and the solo, ists. Indications are that one of the largest audiences seen here for years will greet Anton Seidl and his organi- zation this evening. The sale of seats is large.

 Five of the handsomest young ladies on the vaudeville stage are at Won- derland this week. They have been secured at great expense by MT. s. 2. Poli. These five pretty girls appeared twice at each performance yesterday afternoon and evening. Dressed in Quaker costumes, and with faces and actions as demure as little school girls, they sing very simple song and then fill the house with roars of laughter from the audience with one of the latest topical songs of the day. But 1t is in the latest London craze, "Linger Longer, Lucy" that they are seen at their best. In 1t they are attired in very rich costumes and the song and dance which they give Is most refined With the latest songs and witticisms o1 the day two of the best comedians in the theatrical profession, Smith and Campbell, keep the audience convulsed with laughter from, the moment they appear on the stage until they leave sit Dolan and Lenhard are very re. lined society soloists and their work -is highly pleased, as is attested by the applause which they receive. Rench and Kennedy and their performing giraffe, 'Jargo," are fun makers o1 the first class, and EngIand,s represen. statiye dancing comedian Is a whole 5show in himself.

 From tho Portland Argus.l
 Monday forenoon when business was heaviest at the Union station. and peo' pie were crowding in every direction to take their respective trains. an inno- cent-looking bundle slipped from be- heath the arm Of stylishly-dressed lady and fell to the platform.
 The bundle lay directly in the track of the people. and many Q daintily. gloved hand was extended toward the package, but withdrawn as the owners recollectcd themselves. Finally a ring of gentlemen formed about the pack age. each trying to make the others think he had other business than watching the package.
 A weli-known business man of this city stood the suspense as long as pos sible and then took youngster who happened to be lounging about the de- pot to one side. The boy was seen to put something in his pocket and then walk along and pick up the package, Elbowing his way through the crowd he sought out the man who had tipped him a nickel and handed him the pack age.
 The package was quickly undone, and horrors! resting side by side was large slice of cheese and a half-pint pocket flask. Quickly slipping the flask into an inside pocket the man was about to walk off when the same sty- lishly dresed lady who had dropped the bundle rushed up to him with her nose pointing skyward.
 "I understand you have picked up a | package, sir. that belongs to me-" The man excused himself and went down into his pocket. By this time quite delegation was standing around looking on. The hand was with drawn and extended toward the wo' man. She gave one look at the flask grasped in the mans hand, and, with a look that would have killed at forty yards, turned around and swept into her train.
 It is safe to gamble had she known that the package was undone, she could not have been forced into ac' knowledging ownership by a squad oi | police.

ing to capture young deer alive. The
deer had been logged by two unknown
dogs until from complete exhaustion it
lay down under an apple tree near the
house. The boys though very tired
from following the deer had now an OPP
pertunity to apply their wits in captur-

boys thought to place it around the neck
of the deer and tie him to the tree. Care
fully stepping up to the deer to make
the hitch Guy suddenly found himself

situation no doubt had its effect on the
ardor of the boys, for they concluded it
wasn't best to get too near him again,
but retreated to the house while the deer
after recuperating went on his way.
