AMATEUR PRODUCTIONS.
The Rehearsals for ssThe Comedy Of
TOys'' and ssPriscilla.,

TOys'' and 'sPriscilla.'
The rehearsals for the two amateur
productions. 1.-THE Comedy Of Toys"
and Priscilla" are progressing rapid
ly. and the cast have already become
quite proficient in both plays.
"The Comedy of Toys" will be some-
thing entirely different from anything
ever seen in this city and is exceedingly
unique. 1t Is written by Charles Barn.
ard. who also wrote the Country Cir
GUS" There is a real plot running
through the play, and 1t differs from
other plays of the same character In
this.
The first act is laid in a toy shop and
the toys are engaged in conversation.
They are brought to life by a fairy's
magic salts and conduct themselves
thereafter as ordinary human beings.
In the second act the party take a trip
to "Gooseland." where they visit Mother
Goose. All the characters found In
Mother Goose appear here and have
many laughable scenes. During the
play there are many specialties brought
In. The paper dolls and the jumping
jacks and the letter blocks appear and
go through many pretty dances and
drills. The burlesque dance of the ami
mals is very comical.
The play will be given in the opera
house on July IA and Is. The cast are
all young people, who show great
quickness in the portraying OF thelr
parts and the success of the production
is assured.
Priscilla" viii be produced by home
talent under the auspices of the Cycle
club on July l and 2. The music Is
very catchy and pretty and is easily
learned. The rehearsals occur every
evening and wonderful progress is be.
Ing made. The chorus and cast have
their parts all committed and only need
the polishing and action to make the
play ready for the stage AS the per-
SONS in the opera have been in similar
plays, they will easily have the piece
ready in the short time given them tt
prepare 1t.

LEGS BROKEN BY A BLAST.
Peter Brown, of Fall Brook Street.
Suffers Severe Injuries.


Suffers Severe Injuries.
An accident occurred to Peter Brown,
a miner employed in the Wilson Creek
mine, Tuesday, which will prevent him
from doing any work for some months,
and which is made more serious by the
age Of the unfortunate man.
The accident was caused by prema-
ture blast. Mr.. Brown was working
alone, his son who usually works the
same chamber being away.
The old man was preparing to fire a
blast but it went off suddenly and threw
him to the ground. The falling rocks
came down upon the PROSTATE man and
a piece which landed on his leg broke
one of the bones. Mr.. Brown was found
soon after by fellow workmen and re-
moved to his home. His advanced age
will retard his recovery somewhat, but
at present he is doing very nicely.
