II was night; the stars were covered
by a cloud OF mist the vivid lightnings
flashed and shook their fiery darts upon
the earth, the deep-toned thunder rolled
along the clouded sky, the elements
were in wild connection. the storm spirit
howled in the air. the winds whistled.
the hailstones fell like cann0n-balls. the
huge pillows Of the ocean dashed upon
the rOck-bound shores. p ii torrents
leaped from the mountain tops when the
murderer sprang from his sieepless bed
with vengeance on his brow. murder in
his heart, and the fell instrument OF
destruction in his hand. The storm in
creased, the lightning flashed with
brighter glare, the thunder growled with
deeper energy, the winds whistled with
a wilder fury-the confusion of the hour
was congenial To his soul and the stormy
passions which ragged in his bosom. lie
clinched his weapon with n sterner
grasp. \ demoniac smile gathered on
his lips. he grated his teeth. raised his
arm. sprang with yell OF triumph upon
his victim and killed. mouse,

MET ALLIC Y Arm.
Carpets Now Eeing Made by Aid Of Such
Material.


The durability of carpets is now made
greater. it is said, by the Introduction
of metallic yarns in the fabric greater
strength being thus assured than by the
simple use of yarns made from animal
or vegetable fibres. the idea being. brief
w, the foundation of a metal coating on
an inferior surface. and weaving the
strands in certain proportions. non
oxidizable metal is employed, and this is
dissolved and applied to the surfaces of
threads, rendering them like metal in
appearance and general characteristics;
the metallic composition is said u con
sst of aluminium. bOraX, alum, htharSe
and wax, these, combined with white
lead and one or two other substances,
producing metallic coating that is fleN-
ibIe and soft as common paint would be,
yet to all appearances the covering IS
similar to metal. very much resembling
aluminium. Various substances are
adapted for the core or body of the
thread. such a wood. pulp, jute. cotton
flax. etc. and the metallic coating is
applied to the yarns automatically. the
device for this purpose consisting of
chamber in which the ingredients are
placed and through which the yarns are
drawn. the coating adhering to the sur
faoe az the threads.

theater yesterday was grand success, Everybody was surprised at the extent of the alterations and improvements made in the theater, and delighted with the quality of the performance given, The theater is very handsome; in short, highly attractive, and reflects great credit upon MT, Polls taste and enter prise.
 The performance was particularly good. Sadi Alfarabi, the handsome young Russian, created lively sensa- ton with his extraordinary feats of bal ancing and manupedism, Every spec tator was astonlshed and the applause was deafening. After his star trick, in which he balances himself, feet in the air, on four billiard cues, the house rang with applause and Alfarabi was compelled to bow again and again to delighted audiences.
 Professor Macart's dog and monkey comedians fairly divided interest with the star. Their comedy tricks were most amusing, especially in the boxing bouts and skirt dancing. and the bab- OUu pIOpSllS bdpCt NlNt NiAS A'ASN'S astonishing things, giving an exact and faithful representation of the ordinary work of the regular stage property man. In the thrilling fire drama the dogs gave an exact reproduction of firemen subduing tenement house fire and res cuing a baby from the burning flames, making the production most wonderful ly realistic.
 The most brilliant luminous effects were created for both Alfarabi and the dogs by means of the new Mayrhofer lamps put in at each side of the stage and in the balcony, and the dancing Of the beautiful Saharet was made addi- tionally attractive by means of these effects.
 The speciality acts on the bill were all excellent, and the Wonderland has be- fore it brilliantly successful season.

Entertainments.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Manager Bunnell presents at this house this week triple bill consisting of the marvellous Elliotts, the Kilanyi troupe of living pictures and Eloina, the trapezist. This grand combination furnished most delightful evening s entertainment. The performance is opened by the Elliotts in their grand bicycle tournament. The family is composed of three beautiful ladies and produce on the bicycle are highly orig inal and startling. Every trick and feat is entirely new. As bicycle and one wheel riders they are the best that have been seen in this city. Senorita Eoina, a remarkable female gymnast, was seen in a very graceful trapeze act which was greeted with loud ap- plause. During the next act of the Elliotts they gave a representation of their famous Russian quadrille. They also rode bicycles and at the same time gave most excellent exhibition of balancing. They possess great merit, and each act was demanded again and again.
 This family also gave a most pleasing musical program, performing on more than fifty musical instruments. Their new musical fantasie, "Sharps, Flats and Naturals,' was very entertaining and amusing. No less than thirty tab- leaux were presented by the Kilyani troupe. They are so many pictures, and that idea is enforced by the frame which encloses the whole of the single figures and groups. Copies of statu- ary, such a Venus de Milo, of Medci, and Canova's Diana, are introduced, and living presentments of paintings are included in the tableaux Each figure, or combina ton of figures has an appropriate scenic background, and to quote one instance, the picture hav- ing for its subject Daudet's Sappho, in her black dress, at the Paris Grand opera house bal masque. is positively startling in it's realistic effect Another really beautiful pictul is Psyche at the We'll" This was last night one of the most favorably received of the whole series. The copy of Bouguereau's Psyche and Cupid" was another suc- cess. In the mechanical sense the tab leaux were extremely well managed. The changes were made quickly. There was no delay between them, and the posing of the various figures was artis- tic in every instance.
 The performance will be repeated each evening this week, and should be witnessed by crowded houses.
 The electric fans did much to add to the comfort of the audience by keeping the house cool, which proved a great boon to the audience.
 The various bicycle clubs in the city, The Rovers, Germania, Y. M. c. A., and Ladies' club all had representatives present, being attracted by the fame of the Elliott family, as expert bicyclists and unicyclists.
 There will be matinee Wednesday and Saturday.
