lected her music, her friends, her good
old friends for the destinations Of this
girls company, and others who asso-
ciated with her. Before this wolf
came, Helen was good consistent
church member. She assured herself
she would only read the books and
quit at any time. But you see "evil
association leads on step by step.
She soon took a hand in the games Of
card, just for fun: then danced mt
the little parl0r Entertainments then
conscience being scared she plunged
into all the gayeties OF the season.
Yesterday was sitting with tears
in my eyes, thinking OF these things
and trying to decide what could best
do for her, for the good book says we
must try to save the erring one, when
Helen came in. l told her had a
great trouble on my heart, which she
alone could lift, and she promised she
would do anything for such good old
friend. After presenting the truth to
her, and warning her Of the evils to
follow the course she had entered
upon, she repeuted and solemnly pro-
missed we never to touch another vile,
ycllOw-back novel or any other of that
stripe; to cease dancing and card
playing and other so-called pleasures
of this kind, and also to drop the as
soclation of persons who INDUCED in
these, before it was everlastingly too
late. My dear, dear girls learn to say
No.

The average country newspaper is
often requested to insert matter cal
culated to advertise or benefit some
ones private business interest free of

nothing, you must get the paper out

BY this same reasoning the same
person should expect to ride free on
the railroad, have his freight and ex-
press shipped free of charge, because
the trains had to run anyway. He
should expect to get buggy from the
livery stable free, because the horses
had to be fed anyway. He might ex.
pect to get his taxes free as the city,

his children to be educated free as the

Such contemplate cranks would ride

 The opera is based on the story of ''The Arabian Nights" familiar to every man, woman , and child, with such changes and revisions as were necessary to make it suitable for the stage. The scenic effects equaling, if not eclipsng. anything that has been seen at O'Briens 5 for many a day. The transformation scene in the last act, showing the Origin of the Harp" was especially fine. The scenery was beautiful and realistic, ellie itating the admiration and plaudits of the immense audience present.
 Fresco, an idle apprentice, was admir- ably played by Joseph Doner. who with James Kiernan, made pair of come dians "chocl1 full of fun Harry Clay Blaney's '-acrobatic performance was good and Sinbad. as impersonated by Miss Irene Vernona, was superb.

COTTAGES BURNED.
fhe Fire Early Yesterday MOrning-furnture All Saved d-See Driver
 Hurt.

Five small cottages at Thlrty-second street and Avenue G were destroyed by fire between 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday morning. The origin of the fire is un- known and the distance from the fire de- partment headquarters to the house so great that by the time the engines and reels got there the flames had about con- sumed the houses. All the furniture was saved and the houses were insured for $500-very near their value. They be- longed to the Elyton company and were occupied by Mrs. Woodall, Mary Springer and Catherine Goodwin
 While going to the fire the Southside reel ran off the bridge at Thrtieth street and was demolished. Driver J. T. Phil lips was badly hurt in the fall, but his injuries are not dangerous. though he suffers considerable pain from them.

 About o'clock yesterday afternoon an alarm was turned in from Second avenue and Eighteenth street and the fire de- partment promptly responded. A cloth saturated with oil had been thrown on the roof of the building adjoining the Excelsior laundry by one of the women working in the laundry. which ignited. The fire had been extinguished when the department got there.

A BOOM IN PRICES.

The vest button foundries and corset stringeries find 1t necessary to increase their price lists wherever the great fun makers. Bob and Ali Taylor. go. Fat men shed vest buttons like ripe persin- mon trees in a high wind, and corset strings snap with smothered thud like firecrackers under the bed. Merchants should make note of this and lay in supply for the next trade. Bob and Ali are accused of being in the secret pay string na bobs, but it is vile calumny. They cannot help 1t that men and women laugh themselves into fits, and misfits. The management will distribute buttons and strings at the door to applicants in reparation for damage but the coroner is hereby warned that the brothers will not be responsible for any person who dies of laughter. Persons who desire to commit suicide in the most delightful style will find it to their interest to in vestigate this mode of shuffing off before investing in any of the vile nostruns and clumsy methods in common vogue. If you have a troublesome friend or en- emy whom you would dispose of cheaply and decently try ticket on them to Yankee Doodle and Dixie" No kill, no ray. If you ever expect to be an angel yourself you'd better practice getting happy here below. Your grandchildren will be sure to ask you if in your day you saw those brilliant men. Fat people made lean and lanky people blown up like bladder. Especially recommended for preachers, brainworloers and old folks
