to be the most successful railroad and
scenic melodrama on the road this season.
Mr. l., J. Carter the author and manager
has contrived to weave into G consistent

sensational drama. TIE climax os each
act is strong enough to sustain a whole
play. vet so well graded are the features
ut The piece that one view with increasing z
interest through the five acts, the murder
and the clever trick with the Grandfath-
er's Clock in the first act; The Mississippi
river steamer, its engine room showing a
practical furnsce, and the explosion with
complete change of scene behind cur

the thrilling incidents and hair bre adth
escapes which take pace there; and then
the full front view of Niagara Falls, as

ChaS Il. Blaney "A Baggage Che3k Is
to be the next attraction at the Park
Theatre Tuesday Dec, 10.
"A Baggage Check" is not possessed of
any deep plot or any suffering heroines or
any of those bad villains so commonly
seen or the stage to day. All the plot
presents is nothing more serious than fur
nishing TO the audience three hours of un-
interrupted fun. An amusing novelty in
troduced is the dainty Chinese dance, pre-
sented by eight pretty young ladies of the
company and so a sola to His Highness Ii
Hung Chang. the High Viceroy of the
Emperor of the Dragon. Everything in
this farce is constructed On purely farcicaI
lines, and is presented with such a vim
and dash that it does not lag for NOM
enf. Among the ehiet fun-makers in this
organization are MeSsrs. Grapewin g.
Evans, Louis Msrtinett, Chas. A Morgan.
Nettie Black, Anna Chance, The Sisters
