"a Prodigal Father" pleased another
big audience at the Grand Opera House
last night. The many complications re-
sulting from the ingenious plot, caused
one prolonged laugh, which gave way
to applause of the most enthusiastic
sort. after the specialties which are
features of each act. The leading roles
are admirably taken, especially that OF
Miss Melville, who makes very dash
ing serio-comic, and who shows re-
markahle versatility in her impersona-
ton of isis Hopkins" The musical
and dancing specialties are excellent.
This afternoon a bargain matinee will
be given. when ladies will be charged
but fifteen cents for reserved seats.
This inducement, taken with the merit
of the production. should cause the
standing room only sign to be hung
ont, this afternoon. The engagement
closes tonight.

A Big Blaze Narrowly Averted, Last Even
ing, on Tenth Street.
At ten minutes of nine o'clock last
evening an alarm from box No. IS
called the north section of the fire de-
partment to No. 10 Tenth street, where
blaze had started in the cellar of the
Bicycle Cleaning Company building,
situate in the linn block. Two engine
companies, two chemical companies and
the ladder truck responded, and after
quite little fight the flames were sub
dued. The fire was discovered by
Charles Adams, who is in charge of the
had locked up the store at six o'clock,
leaving everything secure, and at half
past eight he returned, and was stand
ing in the store door when he smelled
smoke. He at once made an investiga-
tion and descended to the cellar, where
he found a fire blazing, and was driven
out by smoke. He sent in a still alarm
to the Chemical, followed by the pull
Ing of the box. A large crowd soon
gathered, but the police were on hand
promptly, and did a good job in roping
off the people, although one of them, a

fender in this regard, showed too much
petty authority in attempting to ex-
clude reporters and others. He is no

fires call other people in a business way

frame work. The wood part of the
building was all burned out and the
whole structure badly damaged, in
Guiding an engine and other machinery
it contained. The fire is said to have
started by one of the employees carry
ing lighted torch inside and igniting
with some combustible material lying
around. The total damage incurred will
amount to several hundred dollars.
At 2:1S yesterday afternoon an alarm
came over the wires from box No. 50,
but there was no fire, the commotion
being caused by repairs. The city hall
bell did not strike.
One of the horses of the Hook and
Ladder company is evidently played out,
and the mater should receive the imme
diate attention Of the Fire Committee.

At 1850 last night an alarm was sent
in from the Belmont mill, where the
ore shed had caught on fire. When the
department arrived the shed was a
burning furnace and the heat so strong
that the firemen could only approach
with difficulty. This structure was used
to store away ore in and there was also
considerable oil kept in it. 1t was con

An excellent romantic drama, sp.en-
djGly presented by Mr.. Creston Clarke
and a capable supporting company, was
witnessed at the Opera House last night
by a very small audience. THE Last
of His Race" tells an interesting story,
fu,; of beart interest. The scenes are
lid III France during the last century,
and the costumes and stage settings
are handsome ard historically correct
Mr.. Clarke is a splendid ac.or, and
peculiarly fitted for the role which he
sustains. His support is headed by Miss
Adelaide Prince, a beautiful actress,
pleasing alike in her personality and
her art. Mr.. Parker's "Nicolai' was
very artistic piece of acting. The re-
mainder of the cast is uniformly strong.
The audience followed the development
of the story with intense interest, and
at times enthusiastically applauded the
principals. Mr. Clarke and Miss Prince
received two curtain calls. The audi
ence made up in evidences of appre-
citation what it lacked in numbers. THE
Last of His Race" will be repeated at
the matinee to-day, and deserves a
crowded house. To-right's bill will be

Hennessy Leroyle must certainly be
d wonderfully magnetic comedian if
one stop to consider the tremendous
success he has achieved as the star of
tnat brilliant three-act comedy. 9th
er Peoples Money" Practically I'M
known in this section of the country
Two years ago, he has taken in that
short time front rank among the
standard attractions of the day. The
comedy fairly sparkles with wit
ticisms. The audiences are kept in
continual laughter by the brilliancy
or the repartee in which it abounds,
as we'll as the many prevalent ludi-
crous situations. 1t is a play which
appeals to the intellectual and better
classes. The company is composed of
list of well-known players. Mr.. Lee
royle and his company will play an en-
gagement at the Opera House next
Friday evening.
The patrons of the Grand Opera
House will have an opportunity of
seeing one of the best vaudeville at
fractions touring this circuit commence
ing tomorrow evening, when Mana
ger Harry Hills Mile. Ants Mon
archs' open a package of fun. All
the members of the company have
been chosen for their sterling abili-
ties in their turIH and there is not a
slow minute from start to finish.
Mile. Ami presents some really as
founding trapeze tricks, which are as
far removed from the ordinary run
of such turns as a prlma donna from
the woman who thinks she can sing
bit. Not content with the old tricks,
she has kept on inventing new ones,
and is at it still, SO that she has quite
a repertoire of novelties of her own.
The burlesque is Williams and Adams
Paris Upside Down, or A Trip to

ed and set, and is a splendid piece.

Fallen Amang Thieves" Frank
Harvey's masterpiece, which Thomas
Fl. Davis and William T. KeOgh give
it's initial production this season, IS
underlined for an early appearance
here 1t is said to be equipped in a
manner that fairly overshadows any
thing ever before attempted on the
stage. The high bridge scene will
prove a revelation, even to those who
are accustomed to seeing gigantic
structures. From it heroic woman
makes a startling headlong dive from
the top of the stage into river of real
water. This rescue is described as
the acme of sensationalism. The cast,
as we'll as the scenery, is better than
that usually seen in comedy drama.

The queerest of all occupations
is that carried on by two young
Pennsylvanians who are making a
regular business of extracting the
poison from honey bees. Accord
ing to the accounts they have two
different ways of collecting their
crop of venom. In the first the
bees are caught aud held with their
abdomens in small glass tubes un-
til the poison sacks have been
emphed. In the second they are
placed in bottle on wire netting
and enraged 1ntil the tiny drops
Of venom fall into the alcohol
which fills the lower third of the
bottle. The venom is said TO be IA
