 Jolly Nellie McHenry appears at the Hyperion tonight in IA Night at the Circus" "A Night at the Circus" has just enough of plot to convey the idea that a lot of everyday people want to ses what circus life behind thu scenes Is like. The last act Is played in the dressing tent of 8 "greatest show on earth" with Miss Nc . Henry In the guise of Mile. Electra queen of the arena, and the closing picture pre- sents her in riding costums, mounted upon a handsome animal, just ss she has come from rirg Singing and dancing form the principal portion of the performance, of course. Miss McHenry has a dczsn clever associates in the company who sing and dance we'll. Margaret McDonald, Alice May and Helen and Henrietta Byron are g quar- tet of pretty women and clever siogers. l Sale of seats now open.
 Madame Adelina Patti will be heard at 1 the Hyperion Friday evening in concert l music and also in the second act of Mar. | ths," which will be given in costume with | grand orchestra. An exchange speaking | of the diva says: The audience demanded more, and the singer. after lowing her ao acknowledgements several times signaled to | Arditi to play "Homs, S 9eet Homs." Ar. ditt appeared much surprised, but Patti cspriciously fnsis'ed. The veteran leade, yielded to her request and, by some strange chance. the orchestra players had the music before them. "Home. Sweet Home" WAS given very smoothly, to the 1 unanimous delight of the audience. Mme Patti sang the old song with so much pathof that she was obliged to wipe tears from her own eyes as che tripped from the etsge The audience gave her two more recslli and then seemed disposed to rest content but fat man in the front row of the cir cle, with hands which, in yellow gloves locked like couple of Mr Armour's hsms began to bring his palms together with 6 concusssion that shook the statue of MT Peck out in the foyer.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

The Tornado, despite the heavy snow storm, was presented to a large audience last night, It will be repeated at the mat ines today and tomorrow and on the evenings of both days. Ths production depends chiefly upon It's scenic effscts, and these alone would carry a much lees meri- torious work to success. The principal sensational feature Is tornado scene in the first act. This Is accomplished by the aid of electricity and specially constructed mechanism, and it Is but jost praise to gay that it is one of the fnest and most com plete sensational effects ever shown on the l stage, even eclipstng the great freight train effect of "The Fast Mall" The l scene is a country village in Wisconsin on 1 the Fourth of July. All is quiet and calm. Then faint bret zs is heard. A flag on e
 staff that had hung limp futtsrs gently :; l then ss the wind increases 1t stands out l straight. The wind grows into @ gale and then tornado. The clements howl and the | eky darkens. Lightning vividly flashes in forked tongues across the stage-resl light ming 1t is, too; roofs, fences and debris are hurled through the air; trees are torn up | and crash upon the ground, and a house | ia demolished and blown away. The ecene | is one of terrific reality. The jagged light ming, the rosrinx of the elem ents and the confusion of the tornado are all remsrka- ply represented. It is @ triumph of stage realism. There are several other very ef- f. ctiye e eaes in the play, those especially commendsble being a ship at sea in e storm, succe sded by a sinking ship | with sailors clinging to the rig. ging, and then by representation of an expsnse of water, the waves rolling high and furiously, and e lone man struggling first upon their creets and then in the trough of the sea. The final
 act shows 8 pretty picture of rustic life. On the whole "The Tornado" is ths most elsborately staged mslodrsms ever seen in this city, and is sure to win great popu- 1 larity. The company presenting it is @ more than ordinarily good one.

Despite the storm yesterday Wonderland was we'll filled at every performances, and those who witnessed the show are unani. nous in their praise of the excellent bill. The strong feature this week is the very funny act of Crimmens, and Gore. Their ridiculous makeup and funny actions keen the audience in a roar all the time they are on the stage. The remarkable fests o. Signor Nellini are something en- tirsly new here and caused the greatest amazemsnt. The trained dogs of Profes BOT Burke form another strong feature of the long program; and. in fact, all the acts have the air of novelty, and the perform anos as . whole Is the best ever given at Wonderland.

lucky, 5th Louisiana, Sd Missouri and
9Th Nebraska districts have not in
formed the committee of the grounds
upon which they intend to make their
contests. In all the other districts
named fraud will be alleged. The
Louisiana contestants assert that the
frauds are of all kinds that may be per-
petrated at an election, including illegal
voting, stufing the ballot.box, sup
pressing or falsifying the returns, and
the prevention Of voting by force or in
timidation.
The contests from Virginia will be
made in pursuance of a plan that in
cludes the determination of the con-
stitutionality of the present election
law in that State. It is said at the
committee rooms that one of the
charges to he made by the contestants
is that the election officers threw out at
least 10000 votes after the election. In
the lst district alone the number
thrown out, supposedly cast for the
Republican candidates, was 1000.

her way to the postot1ice, after, attend
ing the matinee. They started across
the street while cars were coming from
each direction. After one had passed
they started forward, evidently obliv-
ious of the fact that another car was
rushing toward them from the opposite
direction
The Misses Godfrey just did clear the
track in time, the car touched their
dresses. AS Miss McLain stepped over
the first rail the car struck her, throw
ing her forward and turning her over
twice, landing her with upturDed face
across the rail. Both wheels Of the
car then passed over her body, mangling
aud crushing everything from the hips
down. She was dragged a short dis
tapce and left sitting upright. Throw
ing her hand to her head and passing
it through her hair, she sank back

ward. One threw a blanket from a
window and then strong arms bore her
to the training school boarding house,
followed by an immense crowd that
manifested eager sympathy.

spread through the city, and hundreds
of persons thronged around the house,
on the piaZzas and into the yard,

WAITE GETS A TONGUE LAsHING.
Populists Tell Him They Want No More
Lone-haired Anarchists In Theirs.

DENVER, November ll.-Gov. Waite
received q dressing down in his own
executive chambers last night by the
conservatives men of his party. Nearly
all the candidates on the Populist State
ticket were present, and each one in
turn sailed into the old man rough
shod. Each man declared himself
true believer in the party principles,
but that henceforth be wanted to hear
no more from the man for whom they
were sacrificed.
Lafe Pence, Congressman from the
First district, was the principal speaker.
He denodnced the Governor and his
following in unmeasured terms, telling
him to get himself off into the wilder
ness as soon as possible after January
l, asd there bury himself from the
sight of men. "We want no more
long-haired, wild-eyed Anarchists and
Socialists in the party he exclaimed
with warmth, "and the quicker you
and your office-grabbing friends take
yourselves away the better you will be
liked"
The conservatives were 80 forcihle
that for the first time since coming to
Denver Waite was speechless. Follow.
ing this conference, it was decided to
abandon all Sunday political meetings,
which caused 80 much scandal and in
Cured the enmity of the churchmen,
and organize on the basis Of good gov
ernment.

Only TWO Parties Needed.
GSt. Louis Globe-Democrat.1

The wreck which came to the pcpu-
lists in the recent elections adds an
other illustration to the many which
were furnished before the fact that two
parties are all that are needed by the
American people. All over the country
where the populists had gained foot
mold they lost ground in the canvasses
of 1893 and 1894. In those which have
just taken place their defeat was con-
spicuous and overwhelming. They lost
many ofthe seats which they held in
Congress, and in the State elections in
Kansas and Colorado they were buried
under an avalanche of votes. In Ne
braska, where an improper Republican
nomination for Governor gave them q
chance to carry the election, their small
majority was obtained through fraud,
and probably will be eoverturned by the
courts. The fate of the populists is the
same as that of all the other minor
parties which have appeared ia our
politics. The Anti-Masonic, the Know
Nothing, the Greenback and the Labor
parties after strutting and fretting their
little hour upon the stage, passed
away.
