Believing that laughter stimulates
the appetite and makes slender and
unhealthy people fat, jolly and health
fui, the management of "Dixie Land
offer an abundance of that article to
their patrons on Saturday and Sunday
nights when Mcintyre and Heath APP
pear in the leading roles in that play
at the Grand opera house.
In addition to those well known
comedians there will also be seen the
favorite of the southern people, Lizzie
Evans, who will appear in a role es-
pecially written for her. Supporting
these three stars will be company of
recognized legitimate players, to whom
have been entrusted the various char
acters essential to the play. Dixie
Land" is strictly a comedy drama tel
ling an interesting story of southern
life during and before the war, and is
abundantly supplied with pathos and
comedy and many new and novel SEN
sations.
The only element pertaining to the
colored people or minstrelsy is that
furnished by Mcintyre and Heath,
who are known to be the peers of their
profession in that style of work.
Much that is new and fetching in
the shape of songs and specialties is

to kill it, for it was so vicious that it
could not be handled.
This remarkable relic of the ante
diluvian monster seemed to be part
bird, part fish and part animal. Capt.
Bier described it as follows:
at has no scales, although it can
swim. A portion of its body is covered
with hair and when it wants to fly it in
flates two windbags behind its wings.
This initiation is through its gills, which
are situated on its breast. Itstands up
right on its feet, which are shaped like
hoofs. Its face and body are more hui
man like than anything else, and its
mouth is like that of a raccoon, gar
nished with two rows of teeth. Itstood
about 20 inches high and strutted like
a rooster"
After its capture the modster was
christened Diabolus Maris, and was
transferred to Tampa. Fla, where it has
since been on exhibition. Naturalists
who have seepn can find no other name
for it, and its like has never been seen
: before.
Some fish have fins that resemble
wings, and can be used for flying, but
fish do not wear hair. The presence of
legs argues that it is not fish, and its
ability to live under water and the gills
prove that it is not bird.
