Allisons from London, Ducrow and Bush

AT THE THEATERS


Do Wolf Hopper and his merry men and
nAidens have given us a season of jollity
that IL something we ought to be very
grateful for. and it is safe to say that that
sentiment will be expressed in a solid
financial way in case the tall comedian
and his little wife, who is pocket edition
of Nirth, ever visit us again. More power
to his elbow and may her dainty shadow
never grow less.
Manager Frawley and his excellent COM
pany have made their final bow and are
off to conquer other stages. They have
given honest, clean entertainments, such
as will always insure them warm well
come in the future.
The great drama now being played, with
scenes changing from Washington TO Down
ing street, with Grover Cleveland and the
Marquis of Salisbury as the two leading
men, overshadows all other plays. The
first act has been in the nature of melo-
drama, but the second may develop into
either a comedy or tragedy, with the
chances favoring the latter.

are overwhelmingly funny. The sweetest
music is produced from the most absurd
looking instruments. AS sample of the
way they do things, instead of playing the
with their hands, the Deltorellis
manage to make just as good music,
but manipulate the bells with their
feet. While in Mexico they secured a
number of new features in the way of odd
ana absurd looking musical instruments,
all of which they manipulate in the most
unique fashion.
The Anderson sisters have no peers as
jugglers with the feet. In San Francisco
they created such a sensation that their
engagement was extended week after
week, and it is quite reluctantly dhat Mr..
Walters permitted them to leave that city
to appear here. As sensational foot Jug
glers they are without rivals and in their
way outclass the Leigh sisters in their Tril-
by dance. Grant, and Maed, the tight
wire eccentriques, perform while on the
wire feats that few contortionists attempt
when on the stage. While their work Is
interesting, and at times thrilling. they
work in some comedy parts that make it
very funny. Grant, and Maud CLAIM to be
the greatest contortionists performing on a
wire in the world, and so far no one has
disputed the claim. They are most grace
full in appearance and execute all their
work easily, which lends charm to the act.
while the feats performed are more dlfii-
cult than any attempted by the great Car
cedo. Ducrow and Bush, the aerial kings,
will put Oh their best acts. As burlesque
performers on the trapeze they are I'M
rivalled. One of their feats is the
double swing, holding the trapeze by
the feet only. The clown of the
team differs from most alleged
clowns in that he is really funny.
Mons. Roberts, the king of equilibrlsts,
will positively appear, though he has had
to break contracts to do it. He does even
more difficult things and more thrilling
feats than even Sadi Alfrabi, whose clever
work has been so well received here during
the past two weeks. The judge Bros. will
introduce new features into their wonder
full acrobatic feats, while the Allisons will

Notes from Theatrical Tidings.

The popular basso, Eugene Cowles, has
added new laurels this season by his per-
formances of the crippled peon, Fflipe, in
"a War Time Wedding" lately produced
by the Bostonians.
Mique OBrien, the we'll known dramatic
editor of the Cincinnati Tribune, proposes

pose is to determine how much space shall

The Orphans Home

The managers of the Orphans home are
much pleased with the result of the bag
donation plan, there having been received
many useful articles of clothing, toys and
provisions, but there is lack of stockings
and handkerchiefs. Also, more toys are
necessary to equip all of the children with
presents. The promise to call for the bags
at the homes of donors will be redeemed,
but in some instances a call has resulted
in finding no one in. In such cases the
home should be notified and second call
will be made. the children will celebrate
Christmas day on Friday. the 9th, with a
dinner, and in the evening brief enter
tainment will be provided to which the
public is invited.

FIRE AT SEA
Passengers Knew Nothing Of
Their Danger Until
Next Day.

New York, July 1.-THE
French line steamship Norman
die from Havre, which arrived
in port today, had 2 FIRE on
board during the passage. II
was at 7 o'clock the night of
July 9. The passengers were
all at dinner and little was
known until.the next day Of the
danger through which they had
passed.
Smoke was first seen issuing
from the starboard about mid
ship. 1t was found to be in a
compartment in the lower hold
about midships, where were
stored cases of goods, hides and
skins. 1t is supposed to have
resulted from spontaneous com
bustion among the oily hides.
The fire apparatus was at once
brought into use and the lines
Of hose poured hot wafer into
the compartment. Volunteers
were asked to go to the scene
of the fire and learn the extent
of the condition of affairs. The
whole crew volunteered. ! he
water had nearly reached the
ceiling when the ten volunteers
reached there. They reported
the condition Of affairs to Capt.
De Lioniele, who ordered the
water flow stopped. During
this time few Of the passengers
knew what was occurring. The
fire was out at noon on July 10.
Before the ship landed the
passengers held n meeting and
adopted resolutions commend
ing the captain and crew for
their bravery. Capt. De Lilo
nellie is 48 years old, six years
a commander, but this was his
first trip on the Normandie.

HOW TO BUY A HORSE.

An old hofsernan says: #
you want to buy a horse, don't
believe your own brother. Take
no mans word for it. Your eye
is your market. Don't buy a
horse in harness. UnAiteh him
and take everything off but his
halter, and lead him around.
II he has 2 corn OF is stiff, or
has any failing, you can see it.
Let him go himself away, and
if he walks right into anything,
you know that he is blind. No
matter how. clear and bright
his eyes are, he can't. see any
more than a bat. Back him,
too. Some horses show their
weakness or tricks in that way
when they don't in any other.
But, be as smart as you can
you'll get caught sometimes.
Even the expert gets stuck. A
horse may look ever so nice
and go great pace. and yet
have fits. There isn't a man
who could tell it until some
thing happens. Or he may have
a weak back. Give him the
whip and off he goes for a mile
or two, then all Of a Sudden he
stops on the road. After a rest
he starts again; but he soon
stops for good, and nothing but
q derrick can tar. him.
The weak points about q
horse can better be discovered
while standing than while NOV
ing. If he is sound he stands
firmly and squarely on his
limbs without moving them,
with legs plumb and naturally
poised; Or if the foot is taken
from the ground, and the weight
taken from it, disease may be
suspected, or at least, tender
ness, which is the precursor of
disease. If horse stands with
his feet spread apart or strad-
dies with his hind legs, there
is q weakness in his loins and
the kidneys are discordereds
Heavy pulling bends the knees.
Blush, milky cast eyes in
horses indicate much blindness
or something else. A bad-tem-
pered one keeps his ears
thrown back; a stumbling horse
has blemished knees. When
the skin his rough and harsh
and does not bend easily to
the touch, the horse is a heavy
eater and digestion bad. Never
buy a horse whose breathing
organs are at all impaired.
Place your ear at the heart,
and if a wheeling sound is
heard, it is an Indication Of
trouble

SOUTH SIDE.

Evangelist Schieverea conducted an
other earnest meeting last evening at
the tent on Cedar avenue at the corner
of Brook street, and the attendance
was the largest of any evening since
the beginning of the evangelistic cam
paign. He addressed the people on
the great love God bears toward all
mankind. and the readiness of the
Savior to extend the hand of grace Ia
all who but desire 1t. The reverend
speaker has succeeded In bringing
many people to church who had no in
tercst heretofore in religion. and that
Is the object he Is laboring for. When
he shall leave the South Side II Is safe
to conclude that an imprint of good
will be left. The meeting this eve
ming will be held as usual, beginning
at 7.30.
Michael Kelley, of Mlnooka. and Miss
Annie Daley, of Crown avenue. will be
married at st. Johns church tomorrow
afternoon.
The South Side mill began operations
without any hitch and every part of
the new machinery Is running along
smoothly.

which ran one mile between Mesh
aminy Falls and Lanshorne in thirty
nine four-fifth seconds, OF at the rate
of ninety and One-half miles an hour.
The twelve miles We're covered at an
average speed per mile of forty-three
and two-fifth seconds. The train con-
sisted Of engine 206 and two ordinary
coaches and President McLeod's pri-
vate car, Reading which Is equal
to two choaches in weight. Among the
passengers were Mr.. Mcleod, William
Nj. Singerly and other well-known
Philadelphians. and was the result or
n wager between MIR. Mcleod and Mr..
Singerly that II would be impossible to
lower the previous record. which was
at the rate of eighty-eight and two
fifth miles an hour. This was the fast
est mile ever run In the world of which
any authentic record has been made.
The run made to Atlantic City on
April II last by n special newspaper
train over the Camden and Atlantic
road is regarded as a record breaker.
The average speed was seventy-six
and one-half miles per hour for 5S.3
miles. There IL no record Of any trip
above seventy miles an hour for more
than twenty-five miles. On the Read
ing's Atlantic City line speed of n
mile minute Is not deemed notably
rapidly, and u mile In less than nifty
seconds IL no uncommon achievement.
There is one drawback with extraor-
dinarily rapid trains, and that Is they
cannot be brought to sudden stop.

AN ELOPEMENT SPOILED.
Clerk Of the Courts Thomas Prevents o
Couple from Marrying.

COupIc from marrying.
Bright and early yesterday morning
Simon Sakofsky and Margaret Kline.
a couple from Pittston, made their bow
to Clerk OF the Courts John II. Thomas.
and applied for license to get mar
ried.
Mr.. Thomas looked at Simon and
then at the girl and questioned them
about their ages. Slime said he was q.
but he didn't look It. and the girl an
swered that she was just 16. As no
parent or guardian was present to
give consent for her. the clerk Of the
courts had to refuse them the license.
It was discovered afterward that
they eloped from home and tried to
get married secretly against the wishes
OF the girls parents. They found that
the laws OF the state do not make pro-
visions for elopement.
