Polls Wonderland Theater.

The opening of this popular playhouse for the season of 1S96-97 occurs to-day at D. m. Great pleasure is expressed at the announcement that the noted Pantzer brothers will head the bill. These great European acrobats, who have made fame in every city of Flu rope, are fresh from a thirty weeks run in the Proctor houses, this being their first engagement in America out side of New York city. They will ap- pear nowhere else in New England out side of Boston, as they are to remain in America but few months longer. Another great attraction, particularly for the children who are now in the last week of their school vacation, is the Gregory pantomime troupe, led by the celebrated George L. Gregory, for years associated with Fox in "Humpty Dumpty." With him are five other not ed pantomimists, and their pantomime.

-EN ENTERTAINMENT.
Grand Opera House.

The regular season at the Grand Opera house will commence tonight, when Paul Cazeneuve and his excellent company will commence a three nights engag cement, presenting Dumas famous creation, "The Three Guardsmen.''
 A more attractive bill of entertain ment could hardly be procured. The play is an old favorite in this city, and dear to the lovers of romanticism ev- anywhere, but the star of the production is unknown, except to those who have witnessed his interpretation of the try ing role of Richelieu with the Salvini production of the same play. This time he essays the part of D'Artagnan, and is said to give a portrayal worthy of comparison with either that of Mayo or Salvini.
 The stage environments, in the mat ter of scenery and costumes, are said to be of the best order, and all the op- portunities for the display of magnifi- cent costumes and historically correct scenery are taken advantage of. There will be matinee on Wednes- day. This season all seats are sold by , coupon and those desirous of obtaining good seats should secure them in ad- vance. The box office is open daily from a. m.
 Robert Mantell will appear on Friday evening in "The Corsican Brothers. !" As Louis Fabien del Frenchi, Mr. Man tell has added another brilliant success to his repertory. Since the late Charles R. Thorne, jr., appeared in it, "The Corsican Brothers" has been rarely played, and never in spectacular manner. Two years ago a special pro- duction of the drama was given at the Walnut street theater, in Philadelphia, with Mantell as the twin brothers, del Franci, and the remarkable success achieved by him induced his manager to prepare the present elaborate revival of this famous heroic drama. Sale of seats now open.
 Saturday next, matinee and evening, Stetson's big spectacular Uncle Toms Cabin will be presented under the management of L. w. Washburn. A feature with this company will be a pack of genuine bloodhounds, which will appear in the action of the play. Sale of seats now open.

 His excellency says that the coun- try is greater in many ways than any he visited in Europe. As to the people, he likes their free-and-easy methods; everything is above board; everybody seems to be happy; they make one feel Icomfortable.
 His excellency admires the American people for their push and ambition, for their desire to create everything on a
 before, and for their patriotism. There is nothing. his excellency says, about
 the American people which he admires
 more than their loyalty to the flag u;~ der which they live. So deep is their patriotism that public officers become | poor men in the service of their ocun- l try.

 men. We like the American women l They are bright and vivacious."

THE WALDORF A cH1NEE INN.

Meals for the Viceroy Cooked in Pots
 and Pans from Far Cathay.
 New York, Aug. 3O.--Li Hung Chang has transformed the Waldorf into a Chinese inn that might be called "The Sign of the Dragon" Floating from the immense hostelry are the imperial dragon and sun flags of China, and the members of LIS retinue standing or seated in the halls, corridors, dining room, and parlors give a decidedly Oriental appearance to the house.
 The idea os a Chinese inn Is carried out even to the kitchen where the vice. roy's cook and his two assistants have take up their quarters. For the first time in the history of the Waldorf Chi nese chefs have prepared Chinese dish es in Chinese pots, pans and skillets. And the dishes they have cooked have created more curiosity and consterna- tion than the presence of the great viceroy himself.
 Crowds of people have loitered about the Waldorf ever since noon of Friday. They came to welcome Viceroy Li and they apparently intend to remain about the hotel until he bids the city fare we'll. Even as late as midnight of Fri day the crowds had not dispersed. and early risers found them there yester- day morning. The police say that 1t is impossible to persuade them to leave, even after Viceroy Ii has eaten his last years birds nest, his shark fins. and retired to dream of his native em- pire.
 Whether Viceroy Iii sleeps or wakes, the crowds bide their opportunity to see him, and in the meanwhile they stand in the street gazing fixedly at the great yellow flags with the fiery<fft- tie suns and their terrible dragons, which seem always about to swallow the diminutive luminaries.

Rev. F. Stanley Root Says He is Proud
 of Being member of the Salvation
 Auxiliary.
 Rev. F. Stanley Root formerly of inc Park church, Hartford, occupied the pulpit at Davenport church yester- day. His sermon treated of self-sac- ri6ce and full conservation, and he used as illustration the life of the wife of General Booth of the Salvation army and the late Mayor Holmes of Toronto, the later of whom he said not only gave of his wealth to found reserve missions. but devoted his evenings for years personally appealing to the peo- ple who came into them.
 Mir. Root acknowledged membership in the auxiliary corp of the Salvation army, and said he was proud Of it.
 The pastor will resume his pulpit at Davenport church next Sunday, and Prof Pattison of Rochester will preach at the First Baptist, whose congrega- tion has been uniting with it's neighbor during August.

GAYETY IN CHINATOWN. |"

Many American Visitors to Mott and
 Doyers Street
 New York, Aug. 30.-The crowds that wentt to see the illuminations in China. town" last evening were large, but not nearly so large as those that were there on Friday evening. Many of the visi- tors were of the better class, and there was not so much jostling as on the previous night.
 Chinatown" was not as brilliantly illuminated as on Friday night, al- though there were many large and small lanterns out, and all the flags and streamers and draperies were still hung out. All the Chinese restaurants had their lanterns lighted, and appar- ently did a large business as the Chinese appetites seemed to have irn- proved with the festivities.

PLEASED WITH NEW YORK CITY.
Lii Hung Chang Expresses His Admira- tioy, for, be Tcyup and lie pao1,lo

Lii Hung Chang Expresses His Admira-
 tion for the Town and its People.
 New York, Aug 30.-Li Hung Chang was enthusiastic yesterday in his praise of America and New York. His visit to MT. Whitney's home, the ride through Fifth avenue and the immense towering structures tl'at he has seen in this city have made lasting impress sion on his mind.
 After his return from the presidents reception he authorized his interpreter, Lo Fang Loo, to give out the following statement of his impressions:
 His eXeellency Is very much pleased with the United States. He thinks that it is the greatest foreign country that he has been in. The inventive turn of mind of the people he regards as phe- nomenal. The sights that he has seen here and the things that he has learned about New York city are such as he has never known before, because they are unknown in China and European countries.
 For instance, such thing as a man investing s15,OG0,0O0 in gold in house like the Waldorf as MT Astor has done, was never heard of before by his excellency, either while he was in Chi ma or travelling through the European cities. While we were in London we stayed at the very best hotel, but it was nothing to compare with this
 HE Admires Fifth Avenue.
 His excellency enjoyed immensely the drive he had to-day up your beautiful Fifth avenue. He told Secretary Olney that he had never in all his life seen so

 sic Most Successful.
 The fourth season of the Dessauer- Troostwyk School of Music will com mence tomorrow, September 1.
 This institution, which was founded in 1893 after the model of the promi- nent European conservatories of mu- sic, has been highly successful. The number of students in the different branches of vocal and instrumental music has amounted to more than 300, many of whom are now holding promi- nent positions as singers, performers and teachers.
 The acquisition of a well known teacher of harp will enable the direc- tors to add instruction of this instru- ment to it's various branches. As in previous years, a number of pupil-re- citals will be given at Steinert hall for the encouragement of the pupils and to show the progressive results of a thor ough, systematic instruction.

milk cans, which were nearly new, were all destroyed; also new wagon which had cost SS5 only a few days ago. MT Bradley's teams were In the pas ture lot at the time. The damage is estimated at $1,000, which is partially covered by an insurance of $500.
 MT. Bradley is very sure that the fire was of incendiary origin, as there was no one in the barn after he has closed it early in the evening.
