POWELL TILE MAGICIAN.

POWELL THE MAGICIAN.
Powell, the prestidigitateur. gave an
exhibition last night at the Opera House
to a very small audience. He IS a very
clever sleight-of-hand performer doing a
number of the tricks of Kellar and Her
mann quite as well as those two persons.
Perhaps his most puzzling feat is After
the Flood in which he causes birds and
animals, and a human being 10 come forth
from an ark which Is apparently empty.
THE TWO JOHNS.
This Che 13th) annual tour Of the Two
Johns Company the management claim TO
have a great treat in store for the pat
rons of the opera House next Wednesday:
J. G. Stewart and Dreuer have reunited
after a separation of a number of years
which, in itself, would be worth the price
of admission to see together again; but
not only that, these two comedians have
surrounded themselves with a great com
pany who are well known all over the
country and comprise some of the best
artists in their lines. The company has
been on the road too long to need any
praise. You have all seen ii and Will want
10 see it again. bigger brighter and better
than ever before.
THE THREE GUARDSMEN.
It is doubtful whether, among the many
romantic dramas produced in the last
century, there is one possessed OF more
ton, stirring situations, and absorbing
interest, than Alexander Dumas The
Three Guardsmen." Mr. Geo. Clare,
producer and stage director of wide re
pute. has organized capable company Of
players to revive this famous play and the
production will be seen at the Grand OPP
era House the first three nights of next
week. The production promises TO be one
of the most ambitious and pretenuous
ever attempted in America, and will be
historically correct as to scenery and cos
tunes.
THE NEW YORK STARS.
The New York Stars delighted another
very large audience at the Grand opera
House last night, and the general verdict
is that it Is undoubtedly the best speciality
organization ever appearing In the city;
The acts are in most part new ideas ana
are of the highest order. The act OF Ami
and mo is one of the most wonderful mid
air exhibitions ever seen here. The com
pany will give matinee this afternoon

Three new cases of smallpox were
reported yesterday, two in the city and
the third at Edgington's Lane. The
out-of-town patient is Jerry Lucas,
who has been working in the city. He
will be taken to the City Hospital on
The Peninsula. One of the city cases
is Mrs. Charles Menu, of the vicinity of
Forty-seventh street, and the other is
a Miss Custer, living on Coal street.
The latter case will be taken to the hos

these cases developed yesterday. In

there were only two of them-would
