Lost in New York.

At the Opera-house, next Thurs day, February 2S, the splendid aquatic spectacle, Lost in New York, y will be presented for the first time In this theatre. The play is one Of the cleverest of all the sensational plays, and is happily free from the blood and thunder and "clap trap'' that spoils many plays of this kind. The story is charming and full of heart interest and written in the best style of the well known Ameri- can dramatist, MT. Leonard Grover, who has written many successful plays. The special scenery, which, by the way, will be all used here, is said to be very realistic and beauti- ful. The river of real water, said to contain 60,000 gallons of flowing water, full rigged yacht, real ferries and genuine steamboat, are a few
 of the mechanical effects produced.

FOUND GUILTY.
EX.TREASURER WOODRUFF IS CON. WCTED OF FALSE PRETENSES
 AS CHARGED.
The Jury, After Being Out Two Hours Bring In Verdict of Guilty and Fix His Punishment at One Year

AN AMERICAN POPULARITY.
, A Benefit Given in London for the GhlI- dren of the late Eugene Oudin Sale
 of Seats S1O.0OO.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The popularity of the late American singer, Eugene Oudin, is well attested by the sale of tickets for the grand concert which will be given this evening for the benefit of his three children. St. James, Hall will undoubtedly be crowded with the representatives of West-end society, and the long list of fashionables will probably be headed by royalty itself. Apart from the musicloying public, Mr. 0udin had hosts of friends, who esteemed him, not for his attainments, but for his genial personality. To large degree the success of the testimonial is owing to the indefatigable efforts of Normond Salmond, the well-khown basso, and J.B. Westropp, who is well acquainted in America where he spent some time as secretary of George Grossmith during the latter, s American tour. The list of artists is headed by Mime. Alboni and Edward Ilepd. It is expected that the sale of seats will amount to $l0,00O which sum will be held in trust until the youngest of the children attains his majority.

wnl Retain the presldency.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Of1icials of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union are inclined to be extremely reticent concerning Miss Willard's intention of taking up her perma- nent residence in England. One ot them, however, admitted Miss Will lard's views on the subject have been communicated to the officers of the Union some little time since. It is understood that she will not re sign the Presidency of any of the organizations she has been instru- mental in bringing into existence, and the probabilities are that each annual meeting will re-elect her, whether her residence be in Chicago or St. Petersburg. There will needs be, however, an American supervis- ory head for the National American Womans Christian Temperance Union, the affairs of which are grad ually growing to enormous dimen- Si0nS

The Oil Cure is also world renowned for catarrh, and it not merely relieves for a time, but thoroughly cures. It will pay sufferers to consult the Doctor while he is in our city. Ii
