Yesterday noon there were received at
the post office atout $50 letters from
knrpoot, Armenia, which are the first
from that place to arrive in near,y two
months. All OF the letters tell of tho
brutal action of the Turks, and corrobo-
rate all that has been said in the papers.
searly every letter tells of the death of
father, mother, sister or brother.
Others tell thst houses have Deen robbed
and then fired. A peculiar feature IS
that none OF the letters is signed by the
writer, as those VINO have written TO
friends here have embraced, or pretended
to embrace, the Mohammedan religion, and
when this is done the Armenisns must
forsako their Christian names ana are
given Others by the Turks. Consequent
ly the only means that the friends in
this city have OF knowing who the let
ters are from is the handwriting or some
fact that is known TO the writer and the
recipient.
The Armer ians in this country can in
no way assist their friends Mt home as
there Is no way TO Get out OF the country.

drunken harlot from further sin. 1t is
very affecting. The burning of the or

Is reached in the explosion OF the giant

TO the Pole,n comedy spectacular
phantasy, is the main part OF the bill,
snd II is made up of number OF the best
comedians and burlesque artists on the
vaudeville stage. The scenery and cleo
trlcai effects surpass anything ever seen
at the Westminster theater.
In Zero, f" Joe Madden, assisted by Miss
NJ. Florence Edwards and other capable
players, make the time pass pleasantly.
in the ollo are Dave Foster and Fanny
Lewis in refreshing comedy sketch;
Carrie and Lucy Monroe in songs and
dances; Charley Banks, comedian
who has no peer in his peculiar way;
the two extremes, Fred {. Fish and
Frank Quigg, In knockabout sketch;
Hodges and Launchmere, who were
last season, the sensational feat
ures OF the Merry World Company,
and Joseph Madden and James Curran,
clever lrish comedians. There Is a
a CUP OF pretty girls in the company that
appear i'm marehes.AdaHees and eboruses,
and they foim large part OF the even

the piece, and all who take part are good
pupils.
The work OF the Americas quartet of
singers aud unique comedians was of first
class order. The make up of the singers
or comedians was amusing as 1t was in
teresting, ana their songs aud maneu-
vers were many times repeated at the
earnest demand of the audience. In fact,
even II Mr.. Corbott were not in the play,
these comedians would be well worth a
visit to this theater the present week to
see.
The stage setting was fine in the differ
cnt acts, az wei as the well painted and
appropriate scenery. Few pieces at this
theater have been as we'll staged as this
one. The appointments of the gymnasium
are excellent, and very interesting indeed
are the views OF the Latin Quarter and
underground Paris
The proper enjoyment OF the holiday
season VIII certainly include for the
lover OF good theatrical performances n
visit 10 this house some evening during
the present week or at the matinees which
will be given tomorrow, Thursday and
