Grand Opera House.

The Wilbur Opera company is draw ing crowds. Last night the theater was packed with appreciative people, and applause was frequent. "Boccaccio' was played in fine form. Comedian Kohnle in the character of "Lambertuc- cio," the green grocer, kept the audi ence laughing at unexpected places. 1 Claude Amsden was equal to the re- quirements of the part of the cooper; and Emmet Drew also got in some good comedy work. Miss Eloise Mortimer was seen to the best advantage since the week opened. As "Boccaccio" she had plenty to do, and in all was grace full and at ease She wore several hand some costumes and In the disguise of the country lout was particularly clever. The comedy of Miss Lillie Taylor, who played the part of "Peronella," kept the house good-natured. She sacrificed her personal appearance for the sake of the part. Miss Hattie Richards played the part of "Fiamette" prettlly, Miss Lau- ra Kurtz as the cooper's wife did con scientious work. J. E. Conley as Prince Pietro" sang a number of solos in fine voice. MT. Conley has been with the company for long term of years. Miss Belle Hamilton played the quite prom inent part of 'Leonetti" nicely and in- cidental characters were taken by Gus Vaughan and L. Pincus The Living Pictures are one of the principal attras- tions. The stage was draped on both T I, In4h hg of the back, within 8 large gilt frame, twenty-seven pictures were shown Miss Stella Goodman and Miss Monga- oin, in black and gold, introduced the pictures. Miss YorlSe, who bears a strik- ing resemblance to Della Fox, posed in the draped figures, which were always enthusiastically applauded. The pie ture of Trilby was received with great applause and although there are no en- cores allowed for the pictures, the rule was relaxed for once to enable the audi ence to once more see Miss Yorke in her pose. There will be matinees daily and the Living Pictures win be pre- sented at 4:15 and 10:15 after the op- era.
 Miss Belle Hamilton, the clever lady who manages the company, will take charge of the ticket office every after noon and sell tickets for the matinee performance.
 "Boccoccio" will be repeated this af- ternoon and Fra Diavolo' will be sung this evening. The prices at both per- formances are 15c., 25c., 3Jc.
 The wonderful collection of Professor schurr, consisting of bugs beetles, snakes, birds and other curiosities will remain in the lecture hall annex.
 MT. Bunnell has added still another novelty-a gorgeous reproduction of the Marde Gras festival as given in New Orleans. All parties attending the per- formances at the Grand are admitted to the lecture hall to view the objects of interest free of charge.

polrs Wonderland rhenter.

At Wonderland Mr. Granjeau does wonderful things on the wire, walking running, leaping backward and for ward, dancing, somersaulting and tumbling. In Paris, at the Victoria theater they created the same furore that they have created at the Wonder land. The comedy features of the bill are equally good. William H. Daly is one of the cleverest parody singers ever heard in this city, his caricatures at the living pictures and the jay at the burlesque show being exceedingly fun ny His jokes are all new and original, not one of them ever having been sprung here before. Other clever enter tainers are Napier and Marzelo Miss Gladys Van, the Sankey brothers, the Misses Swinburne and Howard, the Emmet trio, Pete Shaw and the Durell twin brothers.

He was employed as a track laborer, and was cleaning the snow from the tracks in the yard under the coal tipple. Engine No. 90, in charge of Engineer Thomas FIinckley, backed down the track to load with coal Delgrego had his back to the engine and failed to hear it's approach, and the engineer did not see Delgrego and ran him down. Delgrego was killed almost instantly. His body was taken to his home. He leaves a wife and one child. Only one person saw the accident, a son of John Brown, of 5 Putnam street. Deceased had been in this country sev- eral years. A. N. DeMoore, the foreman of the gang, had hired Delgrego about four months ago. Delgrego's only known relative in this country is a brother-in-law, who early heard of the accident and notified the unfortunate mans wife.

AT Villereuve-le-Roi he was obliged, for
want of time, to refuse an invitation to
lunch. a brother officer rushed ont of

alto with gusto. A few days later, the
old Emperor William said to him at
dinner, That is a pretty affair of yours
my son has told me all about it,
what affair does your majesty rcfor
too" asked Verdy.
1t was this. The crown prince had re-
ceived the news that two carrier pigeons
had been caught and he had ordered
them to be sent to Versailles. On re-
turning homo i'll tho evening he found
the following telegram:
Lieutenant Colonel Vcrdy has Just

A Fable with "a Modern Moral.

An ungainly kangaroo and squatty
dachshund met i'll the field. "What I'M

dachshund. "Of what uses are they,
pray?"
"They are good for jumping, replied
the kangaroo, making several prodi-
gious leaps.
ooh, that could jump like your'
Easy enough. Let me stretch your
banty legs for you.''
The dachshund agreed, and the kan
CARGO, exerting all his strength, olon-
gated the neither limbs of his little
friend until they compared favorably
with his own.
AT this juncture huntsman espied
the pair, who took alarm. The kangaroo
pushed the field out from behind him III
a remarkably ungraccful but sudden
manner. The dachshund. however, be-
ing unaccustOmed to his new stills,
