Grand Opera House,

For th:ee nights, commencing this evening, with matinee Wednesday, Charles E. Blaney's musical farce com- edy production entitled "A Baggage Check" will be produced. The public need not hesitate to accept this play as first class in every description, for the fact of its being from that noted author, Charles E. Blaney, and direct ed by that prince of managers, Giles Reynolds, is a guarantee of its worth and artistic merit. Mir. Blaney is the author of many comedy successes now touring the country and MT. Reynolds has been the manager of many of our most extensive organizations. One good thing about the comedy, "A Bag gage Check" is that everything is brand new, the scenery specially painted by competent artists, the music specially composed and arranged, and ths costumes made from designs brought from Paris.
 A play in which the laughter of the audience is frequently intermixed with tears, is that of "The Two Sisters" " which will be seen on Friday and Sat urday evenings, with matinee Satur- day.
 The only lady ventriloquist, Miss Ella Morris, has been engaged to ap- pear in the lecture hall annex all this week. The hall is open free to the patrons of the theater. Miss Morris has been we'll received in all the prin- cipal cities and has been endorsed by both the public and the press. Per- formances will be given at short in- tervals so that all the visitors can have an opportunity of seeing this unique entertainment. The "Old Wo- man That Lived in a Shoe" will also be on hand with her numerous progeny to welcome and amuse the visitors.

Pollss Wonderland Theater,

The people fave come to learn that they can make no mistake in visiting this popular theater at any time. Each week a sterling novelty is brought out and that for this week is the Borani brothers, who present an act entitlel ] "The Disappearing Demons." They ap- pear and disappear from the stage in the most unaccountable manner. There are no black curtains, glesses, trap doors in the stage or anything else that would lead one to think it was an illu- sion, and yet in the full glare os the footlights one of them is suddenly missing. He returns to the stage in equally as mysterious manner. How this is accomplished has kept the peo- pie of New York fruitlessly guessing for the past six weeks. The other acts on the bill are all known to be good, and include such artits as Sam and Kittie Morton, George H. Timmens, the Gotham Trio. Mamie Conway, Net ter and Williams, Frey and LeMaire. VanLeer and Barton, and Nelson, Le- vanion and Nelson.

He has 1t out there with Valentine Hay, his enemy, and rival for the hand of Nora Drew. in q manner that sets the sympathizing auditors wild with de- light. In Kerry Cow" Murphy is at his best. It Is his earliest love and will without doubt prove the most lasting in It's popularity. Sale of seats now open.

was no shrinking. no fear that the wa ter was cold or wet; tho boy had to be restrained from wading in before be- coming attlred for the pastime. "Attired" is not tho word 10 apply in this case. for litt!s Dicks movements in the water are not impeded by a bathing suit He takes his dip in the costume provided by nature. and in his case prety costume it is.
 Not more than four lessons were given by his father before young Essig could foat. and with little assistance could keep himself right side up and his head in air while going through the movements of n frog in his element. With the rudiments mastered the then eighten-months'-old baby began to "padddle his own canoe" He would wade into the lake until the water reached his armpits and tho strike for shore with all the vigor and pleasure shipwrecked sailor approaching n hosnitable beach. This pastime the It, tie fellow would continue until tired ma ture would permit no further induig- ence that day. In this way Dick iN"hy huuhHl lo bWiHt. motions are faultless. from profess sional standpoint. He has the round. sweeping stroke of the arm, the quick recovery and reversal of the hands which all good swimmers employ; his reet do not churn the water. In other words, little Dicks method of aquatic procedure Is nor what IS known techni- cally ss dog fashion" Of course. the boy would not be allowed to go alone beyond his depth. nor does he dive from springboards nor attempt to swim un- der water; but he can swim at his ten der age far enough and float long enough to save his life In case of ne- cessity and prompt relief.
 Dick has cunning little pair of pol ished steel dumb bells with which he has exercised until his arms show the outlines of muscles that are not com mon in the biceps of little chaps. He has diminutive chest weights which he uses with great elee; a set of minia- ture boxing gloves, with which he spends lively quarter hours trying to give his indulsent parent the "kuock- out" blow" little towing machine, 80 tiny that 1t looks like model, on which he pulls regular stroke that affords him as much amusement as he will find in after years rowing agirl about on the placid surface of a moonlit lake. Other toys used by the sturdy little Dick are not like the playthings of the ordinary run of children. Each has in it something more than amusement, and the coming man finds that addt- tional something his chief delight.
 The result of this early development of aptitude for athletics has not proven hurtful to the boy. On the contrary, he is as sound and sturdy d youpgster as one would wish to see. nimble in his movements. firm of flesh, bright of eye, and vivacious in manner. Wheth- CT his independence comes from self reliance gained in exercise or from he- reality it is impossible to state, but the fact remains that he is the most self reliant youngster imaginable. He is uncommon in another point-in his in- difference or non-susoeptibility to pain.

 Say" said the Lawn-Mower to the Lawn-Roller, I'm as hungry as a bear. Give me roll, won't you?"
 Cant do it," said the Roller. "They're too heavy to eat. The Rake tried to eat one the other day, and broke two of his teeth off short. Why don't you ask the Sickle for a pear?"
 "Id rather go to the Axe. I don't want any fruit"
 What can the Axe give you?"
 "A chop, of course"
 That's so-didn't think of that. If he fails you you might go down to the garden and get a. stake. By the way, what's the matter between you and the Weeds? They tell me you cut them whenever you pass"
 "I do. don't like the Weeds. They intrudel themselves into a lawn party I was at last summer and spoiled the whole thing. Did you get off to the mountains this summer?"
 No; went down to the sea-shore to see my relatives"
 Relatives? didn't know you had any down there."
 "Oh yes, the Rollers are famouss all along the Jersey coast. You get away"
 "No; I've been right here, attending to business.I didn't feel that I could afford to go off this summer. I've been pretty poor, and I had to do a good deal of cutting down to pull through the hard times as 1t was. I hear that Hose is going to be married"
 "Yes; he met one of the Faucets at a watering-place up he< they got much attached to eaoh other. It's a good match"
 T think so myself; but for lighting a cigar think I'd rather have a parlor match"
 "Ha-ha! How cutting you arev'
 "Yes-that's my business"
 And then, as the hired men had fin- ished their luncheon, the Roller and Mower had to return to work.

An Infant of Nineteen Months That Is at
 Home in Lake Michigan.
 [Erom the Chicago Daily Tribnne.]
 It is not likely that another city in the United States can boast truthfully of baby that can swim. Chicago can make such a boast and maintain 1t. This prodigy is only nineteen months old, but has natatorial skin far beyond his years. He takes to water as natur- ally as duck. the boy is Dick Essig, son of Charles Essig, himself noted athlete, who fills an important position with the largest sporting goods house in the city, perhaps in the country.
 From his first introduction to a bath tub Dick has shown aquatic tastes. He used to cry for his bath and then cry because he had to be dressed. He would splash water over his mother in playful resentment of her attempts to bring his daily rubbing" to an end. andA-this is no family secret--he had to be punished before he would consent to believe that he could not Dc in the water always. When warm weather came this summer and PapaEssig took the younsster into Lake Michigan. the joy of the youngstr was beyond his juvenile power of expre1sion. There
