attraction, and even at advanced prices,
the theater yesterday afternoon and even
ing was filled to overtiowing. His ex-
hibition OF bag punching was far ahead
OF anything seen in this city and was fol-
lowed by three rounds which he spared
with his sparring partner, Mike Hickv OF
St. Louis. The performance began with q
musical burletta entitled "A Royal Recep-
tion," and In this Nellie Franklyn, q
charming little person, assisted by twenty
or more young ladies and comedians sang
songs, marched and made things lively
for 20 minutes. In the olio was Miss Lena
La Couvier, the favorite contralto, In q
budget OF the latest songs Of the day.
Bryant and Smith, the original Milanese
minstrels, who appeared in number OF
songs and dances, furnishing their own
music on harps Then came Jolly Nellie

pleasing act OF juggling on slack wire;
William ii. Trueheart and Tony Kennedy,
black faced comedians, who seem to de-
light in seeing how near they can come
TO killing each other in their rough and
tumble act. Kitty Howard and Ida Earle
appear in their latest creation, 1.-The Four
Hundred" and are a very entertaining
pair, and last, bat not least, comes the
Meadow Brook Quartet, formerly with
Palmer's Alabama company. The pro-
gram closes with the amusing produc-
ton, "The White Crooks at the Island OF
Hoodoo," and in this the entire company
takes part and this Is where Bob Fltzsim-
mons appears. The scenery and costumes
are very elaborate. The same perform
ance will be given every afternoon and

Keitb's Opera House.

The attraction at Keith's Opera House
last evening was" On the Mississippi" +" and
ii was given by @ cast that seemed to be
in every way equal to the not very great
demands of this very lively IL not very
complicated melodrama. The attendance
was good and the applause extended sew
eral of the scenes If not as extensive as
that given some pieces presented at this
theater the present season was yet of quite
generous nature.
There Is life enough in the piece; pic
lures not few OF wild life in wild pc
riod OF the country's history that in a
general way tell a truthful story even II
some incidents viewed from long dis
tance seem improbable. There are some
good il not loudly heralded scenic effects
and the pickaninnies furnish some rich
and charming fun.
The story in the main hangs on the ac-
tions Of a New Orleans adventures whose
plots are numerous enough to keep up
interest in the performances as the part is
portrayed by Valerie Bergere. Her hus-
band too, Paul Latour, is the one who has
made an adventures of Marie Varnet and
the development OF the plot shows her TO
have been a most apt pupil. Then there
is the chief victim of the machipations of
the adventures Philip Barstow, who falls
an easy prey, but who is rescued finally
by the clever detective work of Grant
Sherwood, United States secret service
agent. The latter is of course the hero of
the piece and as a reward for his devotion
TO Philip and his sister Jean, obtains the
Iatter's hand in marriage.
W.h. Harvey gave good impersonation
of the character of Major Jones "fresh
from Arkansas; ALERT Beverly, as
"Uncle" Billy Dean, the sheriff, did some
of the best work of the evening and Will
son Deal made out OF a really good part
all that seemed possible.
The pickaninny band received couple
of encores for their selections and Mr.
Harry West in his up-to-date parodies
proved that he was a great fayorite with
the audience.
One OF the best things in the piece is
the jail scene, for the black bows are ma
tural and very funny. The sleeping pic
lures they presente d when the jail keeper
discovers them having fun, when they
should be endeavoring TO be sad, were
very grotesqhe and well worth trip To
the theater through the storm last night
TO see. The pickaninnies can all dance, and
some OF them do some very clever step
ping.
"On the Mississippi" will be performed
every evening this week and at the usual
matinees.

Boston, March 2i.-Mrs. Florence ii.
Morrison, 81 years old, lies at the Grove
street morgue, having been found dead in
her Cambridge-street rooms under sus.
picious circumstances. The fatality fol-
lowed day OF carousal. and the evidences
OF disturbance In the room and marks on
the neck OF tho victim led the police to
detain her husband to await tho result of
the autopsy The police later took into
custody Richard Nolan and Lizzie Lippene
on suspicion of knowing something of
Mrs. Morrison's death. The police are
now confident that the woman's death
was from violence. The woman appears
