STORY OF A WATCH.
akirg OF Il DeveiOpes a Distressing q
story.

The arrest of Mrs. Fanny May
Brockway yesterday revealed a pitiful
story of the search of two brothers
for a wayward sister. The girls name
is withheld. She is II years old and
came here several months ago, board
ing in a house on Adams avenue. The
housekeeper, shortly after the girl
came to live with her. caused her ar

The case was heard before Alder
man Howe, and was decided against
the girl. She could not secure bail,
and was subsequently released from

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.


The Manola- Mason company was greet
ed by large and enthusiastic audience
last night at the Lyceum. The beauty
and fascination of the delicious little
pastorale, Friend Fritz" has lost none
of its charm through the flight of years.
Marion Manola is rather moro ethereal
than when she first appeared as the IN
genious Suzel, but her lovely voice, her
grace and sweetness hold ever their IN
imitable sway over the listener. Any
thing more distinctly beautiful than her
pose at the well scene, anything more cX-
quste than her singing is difficult to
imagine. John Mason has added to the
attractive role of Fritz in several re-
spects and perhaps he never appeared to
greater advantage than on this occasion.
The male members of the company were
not in the main selected for their beauty,
but there were several excellent voices
and Miss Uldont made n most pleasing
foil to Mrs. Mason. Mr.. MCDonough was
also pleasing in his role.
The vocal work throughout the perform
ancc has not been eXcellCd at any pre-
vious visit of the combination, especially
was this true of the wedding ring song
and the song of the bachelor and "Alack-
a-Day" Bauer's orchestra afforded much
pleasure in the intermeZZo numbers.
