ceeded in keeping up pretty lively time.
One very lovely rocket that contained
thousands of emerald balls burst far mn
and evoked applause as the delicate hue
fell upon the people. After it there were
red and yellow visions and again showers
of stars.
Some effective displays were made with
parachute rockets. When these exploded
high up string of many-colored balls Of
fire appeared. They swung around in the
breeze and kept aloft many minutes.
during which time the balls changed
color frequently. and finally pyrotechnic
displays on small scale we're given under

Several set pieces were shown and at in

eruptions of sparks and volcanoes. The

and so feet high. Though very simple in
design. consisting merely Of long row Of
Roman candles that emitted sparks in one
direction. so as to represent a cascade Of
fire, this piece was most impressive.
The fireworks exhibition lasted a little
over two hours.

satisfy them.
LISTS second Hungarian Gypsy Rhap-

musicians again might object to the in
tensely vivid cOl0ring as tricky" but the
rhapsodie in the hands of the Austrian
musicians became popular, fascinating to
the multitude and full of distinctive na-
tonalism.
1t is mistake. however, to allude to the
Vienna band as Hungarian; the Hun
garian bands have oher pecuiarities of
their own. particularly strongly marked

form. Their orchestral effects are also

During the progress of the opening ex-

illustration of the efficiency of the Mid
winter Fair Guards and the medical force
was given. a sudden concentration of
the people TO a spot on the outer edge of
the crowd led to the discovery that a lady
was i'll. 1t was but few minutes until
the guards had quietly removed her from

so quietly aud so quickly that those who
witnessed the scene were unanimously
favorable in their expressions of commsn-

Many of those who attended the opening
exercises yesterday were doubtless also at

experience that it is impossible to see all

The Viennese Band.

The string concert given in the Kaiser
Franz Joseph Hall of the Vienna Pratel
proved to be a decided and interesting
novelty 10 San Francisco audiences in the
way of music.
1t was Edward Strauss, one OF the IA
nous family of waltz composers, who first
populariZed this decidedly national style
OF music out of Austria. His orchestra
has been popular success wherever it
has played, and the music given yesterday
was OF the Strauss type, although herr
Fritz ScheePs musicians varied their per-
formance by making the second part of
the programme military concert of brass
and reed instruments.
-- The playing of these Austrian must
clans. particularly of the string band. has
very distinctive style Of its own: there
is something peculiarly catching in the
rhythmic swing, strong contrasts in shad
ing and unexpected pauses and change, in
the tempo. Even the manner in which the
conductor pivots round on his stand and
gestculates to his musicians gives verye
and spirit to the performance. Herr Fritz
does not. like Edward Strauss, indulge in
''pas seul" while dance is being played,
so that the audience hold their breath in
terror lest he should waltz right off the
stand, but when the conductor yesterday
warmed to his work be threw an immense
amount Of vim into his baton.
With regard to its ensemble work and
It's lntOnation, the Vienna orchestra was
beyond reproach; indeed, although its
music might be denominated catchy" by
strictly classical musici ans. it is never
theleSs charmingly pleasing, and is sure
TO become extremely popular here.
Inc concert opened with the overture to

song from Wagner's "Meistersinger," the
violin solo by Concert-master Maruuardt,
both OF which numbers were much ap-
plauded. THE Beautiful Blue Danube

none but an Austrian band can interpret

Never such height was reached by rocket
in this city. Half dozen at once were
fired repeatedly. They would burst at a
great height with beautiful effect. One
rocket would explode shower of golden
rain, only to be eclipsed by another with
purple and yellow balls, third with green
and golden globes, a fourth with pure
white globules, that appeared like so many
electric arc lamps suspended in midair.
The effect of these combinations droop-
ing slowly toward the ground was ex-
tremely pretty.
Rockets were sent up in couples and
more simultaneously. Though there was
a similarity between many of them they
were all excellent in their way, and pleased
everybody present The showers of gold
that burst repeatedly in the sky were
beautiful displays of soft yellow sparks

A COMPLETE CURE
FOR THE -
OPIUM AND COCAINE HABITS
WITHOUT SUFFERING.

NlTHO has not read the confessions of
the great De Quincy? Who has not
wv shuddered at his despair, his hope
less agony, his vain struggle with the
fiend that clutched at his heart-strings
and sapped dry the wells of life?
Do you ever think that there are thous-
ands in the good old State of Maine, who
are wrestling with the same demon? You
pass them upon the street, you press
their hands, your life touches theirs, and
yet you know them not. They live in a
land of shadow, and early join the great
majority. Look closely and you detect
the haunted look of complete despair.
For such there seems no relief. Yet
there is hope. There need not be anoth
other useless struggle such as De Quincy
had, and such as millions of others have
since experienced.
No one in the thralls of the opiun,
morphine, cocaine, or chloral habits need
longer despair. Complete freedom is at
hand and within the reach of all. Come
to the home of the BELLINGER RENE
DY COMPANY, at Waterville, and see
for yourself.

BURIED UNDER TONS OF SNOW.
Lives and Property Destroyed by an Idaho
Avalanche.

Wallace, Idaho, March 30.-Four
immense snowslides and several smaller
came down in Clincanon Creek today.
One at the Black Bear mine near Gem,
covered up or swept away five cabins,
killing five persons and possibly more.
Several hundred men have been shovel
ling since the disaster occurred and, so
far, three bodies have been recovered.
The snow is forty feet deep and almost
as solid as ice. The Gem, Frisco and
Poorman mines turned out their whole
force of miners to work for the recovery
of the bodies. Arthur Swayne was taken
out alive but seriously injured. The
bodies of man and a woman and a
little girl have been found. Within
mile and half above the Gem, are three
other slides, one of them covering both
railroads to depth of over one hundred
feet. Some of the slides have been very
destructive to fiume and railway
property, but the full damage will not
be known for many days.
