Next Monday and Tuesday evenings. No

will hold sway at the Opera House, where
the Minerva Dorr Comedy Opera Com
pany will present "Kismet, or. The Two

Few Irish comedians have been so we'll
spoken of as Ferguson and limerick. who
have made such hit in the new Irish
comedy, "McNulty's Visit" by the author
OIL McSOrley S IWlNS, SdI Dali,
and ''Finnigan's Courtship." These clever
comedians are surrounded by an excep-
tionally strong company of singers and
dancers pretty girls, whose costumes are
marvels of beauty. All the latest special
ties are introduced and many new novel
ties. They are booked to appear at the
Grand Opera House the first half Of next
week.
Gus Hilps is a name well and favorably
known in the vaudeville profession, and it
has never been connected with any
amusement enterprise that is not strictly
first-class. The announcement that Hills
World of Novelties will open half weeks
engagement at the Grand Opera House
tonight should be sufficient TO test the
seating capacity of that theatre. 1t is one
of Hills best companies, including some of
the best acts upon the stage, introducing
some genuine novelties by clever come
dams and pretty women, and concluding
with one of the funniest afterpieces ever
presented upon any stage.

ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT.
An Old Established Business House Goes to
the Wall

Yesterday afternoon Messrs. John III.
and w. L. Ewing, doing business under
the firm name of Ewing Bros, at No. 12l5
Market street, in the CHINA, glass and
queensware lines, made an assignment to
Attorney James W. Ewing for the benefit
of their creditors, reserving the $500 all
lowed by law. The deed covers the lease
of the building as well as all personal and
other property.
The news was heard last evening in the
business district with much sorrow, as
the firm is an old one, the stock extensive
and fine, and the trade catered to has been
the best in this community. 1t is hoped
the suspension will be but temporary, and
that the present difficulties of the firm
may be tided over and business continued.
No estimate of the assets and liabilities
was available yesterday evening.

Paw or Bullft1htera.

Bullfghters make more money than
anybody else in Spain, their salaries
being much greater than the incomes
of any except the highest Of the mobiles,
and comparing fairly well even with
the stealings of colonial officials. In
the past year a toreador named Guer-
rita appeared sixty-eight times and
pocketed 100000 francs. Another, Re
verte, has made thirty-eight appear
ances and netted 143, 800 francs, while
Mazzantini, with twenty-nine battles
to his credit, took 131, 600 francs, Bonn
bita 10000 francs and Algabigno 49,
700 francs. Taking into account the
value of the bulls and the cost Of trans
port, 1t is estimated that Spain each
year spends more than five millions on
this so-called sport Over 1000 bulls
were killed by the chosen few of the
public, who only number twenty thi 20
throughout the whole country.

In the center of the public square, On
gradual elevation reaching about nf-
teen miles around. A grove of maple
trees surrounds the famous temple Of
justice, making one of the most beauti-
full parks to be found In the section.
Dame Nature has, ever since tie first
tree in this lofty grove, 16? feet above
terra firma, first made :ts appearance,
afforded ample hourishment to the
roots Of the trees. Creeping through
the narrow interstccs. between the
heavy layers of hard rock, the sprouts
flourish like the famous green bay tree
Of tradition. Even during the drOuths
of recent years, when all vegetation
In the neighborhood was suffersng and
dying, the trees continued to thrive,
Notwithstanding the fact that their
abode, devoid of moisture and so high
In the air, was always hotter In the
heated season than that Of other vege
tation, the large stones being occs sson-
ali, 50 nor tnar thv.-hs-ds saoy,l4 not
alight upon them. The seeds of these
trees are like those Of the willow and
poplar, being small, with long, silky
down. 1t is supposed that the seeds
were carried by birds from some dis
tant place and dropped between the
rocks, where they grew in the limited
amount of soil and dust gathered
there by the winds The first tree ap-
peared on the uppermost part Of the
tower about the year 1865, and soon
manifested a speedy growth. About a
year after, on a different part Of the
tower, q second one was observed to
be growing, being followed by another
one The roots wedged between the
stone, the growth continued until the
largest attained height Of twenty
three feet, and as they moved the
stones considerably the trees were
condemned as serious menace to the
structure and the two largest were re-
moved. Now. amid the moss and what
little vegetable matter can cling to the
elevated place, others have continued
i to sprout and grow until danger to the
structure is again feared, and 1t Is
thought that the time will soon come
when they will all have to be removed.

1855, the later structure being 1000

The actors in the play were babOons,
and their enemies were in one case the
travellers dogs, though the balloons
were ready to fight with any creature
that attacked them, man only except

to the fact that the balloons could not
often gain a point of vantage.
The naturalist himself was once
stoned out Of a pass in a very few min
utes by these creatures, who sprans
upon lodges and stones, looked down
for a few seconds on the valley, growl

began to roll down stones with SO
much vigOr and adroitness that the In.
truders took to flight. The babOOns evf

for the naturalist saw two Of them
combine their efforts in order to set .
particularly heavy stone rolling. One
monkey, bent on making the most Of
his missile, was seen to carry a stone
up tree, that he might hurl it with
greater effect.
On the occasion when the dogs at.
tackled the baboons, the baboons were
crossing a valley, and as usual during
a march, the females and young were
in the center, the males heading the
column and bringing up the rear. Az
the dogs rushed upon them, only the
females took to flight.
The males turned and faced the en-

with their hands, and opening their
mouths, so as to show their glitterina
teeth. They looked SO fierce and ma
