The above extensive cast tells
thoroughly how complete will be the
representation Of Madame Sans
Gene" which we are to have at the
theatre Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day evenings and Saturday afternoon.
Every stitch of scenery is brought from
New York. OF course a dollar and
half rate will prevail. bur Manager
Burton is confident no complaint will
be made when the expensiveness and
completeness of the production are
seen. There is no city in America of
its size where there are more people
posted on the Bonaparte period in
French history than in Salt Lake. and
no city where there is a more ab-
immortal Corsican. The fact that he
is made a character in Sardou's play
will add decidedly to the interest in
the drama, though anything with the
Sardou trademark is a guaranteed
| success in advance in this city.
There is, of course, a general Curl
osity to see the widely advertised

duced it in America, but the mem

enough to help a wounded enemy to
escape, and in the numerous battles
which he fought courageously in Ma

May "a, Dantzig capitulated. The
emperor Immediately removed thither,
and to reward the marshal he made
him Duke of Dantzig, and together
with the title granted him a consid-

first creation of the kind, and he
pointed out its advantages in his own

BristoPs educated horses will be
seen tomorrow night at the Lyceum,
and every afternoon and evening dur
ing the remainder of the week The
San Francisco Call says of the show:
Professor Bristors Eques-C urricu-
lum crowded the Auditorium. This
band of trained horses are wonders in
their way. The programme is divided
into three parts, each one of which is
replete with the many acts of these
horses and ponies whose instinct
ought to be dignifed by the higher
name of reason. Those who delight in
the horse will find much TO enjoy in
Bristols show. The animals do every
thing they are told without making a
single mistake, even to showing the
day of the month. The military drill,
with which the programme concludes,
is, perhaps, the most astonishing fea-
ture. The horses fall in, march off in
double and single file, counter-march,
form into line, and go through all the
intricate movements made by soldiers
on parade. Their drill is perfect

Professor Orson Pratt, who is not
heard from often enough in the way of
musical composition, has just had a
new polonaise printed by Theodore
Presser, the Philadelphia publisher. 1t
is called "The Cavalier and is a
bright, tuneful and sparkling compo-
sition, thoroughly characteristic of
the polonaise idea. That the publisher
thinks highly of it for piano students
is shown by the annotations printed on
the margin of the sheets. 1t is only of
medium difficulty and ought to be ac-
quired by all young pianists.

THE BUSINESS REVIVAL.

On every hand are to be seen the eyi-
dences of returning prosperity Such a
condition is most gratifying, as it will
mean the employment of labor at adj
yaneed wages and will III many eases
bring happiness and comfort where,
perhaps, few months ago, there was
threatened suffering from priyation
and want. This revival in business is
due to a revival Of trust or confidence.
Tt is trust between neighbors and
friends and between merchants and
manufacturers which restores general
confidence throughout the country and
leads To the renewal of business and
the restoration of good times"
Now it is the trust which people have
in each other,-it is because they be-
lieye what others say,-that begcts
their confidence in Hoods Sarsaparilla,
and il is this confidence which has
placed Hoods Sarsaparilla at the top
among medicines. People who were
suffering from scrofula, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, neuralgia, catarrh or other
blood diseases have read the statements
of sufferers who have been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and, believing
what they read, they have been led to
take this medicine, until they also have
been able to repeat the story that Hoods
Sarsaparilla absolutely, permanently
cures.
1t is a remarkable fact, but never
theless truthful, that throughout the
long business depression, caused by {
lack OF trust on the part of business
men, there has been no diminution il
the confidence which the people have
had in Hoods Sarsaparilla. It's sale
and it's cures have continued Hood
