"A Round Of Pleasure atcBoston Museum.

But two weeks more remain during
which Round of Pleasure remains
at the Boston Museum, and this fact is
Il matter of regret to all concerned.
Six weeks was the original limit set for
its stay in Boston and the coming two
weeks will complete that time, but
such has been its success that there is
no doubt that it could remain until the
first of the year. couid' arrangements
be made to cancel it's engagements in
other cities and to free the time now
held at the museum hy other attrac-
tions.
The verdict of success that has been
stamped on .One Round of Pleasure"
most favorably compares with tha.
slittering and extended welcome. that
was extended to Jack and the Bean
stalk" and the manner in which these
two eXtravaganZas have been received
in this city is a matter that greatly de-
lights the projectors of, both entertain
ments, Messrs. Klew g. Erlanger. These
shrewd managers are undoubtedly a
the head of their class, in the produc-
ton of brilliant stage spectacles, AMI
as each effort of theirs seems to eclipse
their last it is certain that Boston will
be provided annually with q brisk
clean burlesque, that will delight the
eye and charm the ear.
One visit to the museum and one
glance at "One Round of Pleasure
would show many causes for the en-
phatic success of the extravaganza.
There is not moment but some bril-
liant stage picture is being exhibited,
or some clever specially taking place.
The wit. music and dainty dancing fol-
low each other in rapid succession and
there is no cessation in the. auditors
enjoyment from beginning to end. The
beauty of the chorus is matter of uni
versal commendation, and certainly
proved the assertion that Messrs. Klaw
& Erlanger have cornered the supply
of pretty girls in the market This
chorus is certainly brilliantly beauti-
full and the dazzling and becoming cos
tunes of which there are many
changes, serve to enchance their hand
some faces and shapely figures.

TOO MUCH CROQUET.
The Magistrate of Oakland Ofends
the Sense of Propriety of
Resident

Yesterday afternoon County Attorney
Jetmore was called upon by a woman
giving her name as Mrs. Nancy Morey,
residence, Oakland, who demanded that
he issue a complaint against G. w.
Whitmore, the Oakland justice of the
peace. When asked on what ground
she requested the complaint, Mrs.
Morey, with a show of spirit, informed
the county attorney that Justice Whit
more, together with a number of his
friends, was guilty of playing croQuet
in front of her dOOryard day after day,
and would even bring lamps and
torches to continue the game after
dark far into the night. This, she said,
she considered a fragrant breach of
public morals and would swear that it
was a disturbance to her individual
peace She did not care about having
the magistrate removed from office, she
explained, but simply wanted him COM
PEELED to keep the peace and abide by
the law as became a justice of the
peace.
Mr.. Jetmore failed to see the grave
side of the game of crOquet and re-
fused to issue the complaint. few
minutes after Mrs. Morey left Mr.
Whitmore came in and gave his side
of the case.
He readily acknowledged that he
played croquet, and incidentally re-
marked that he was a first class hand
at the game, but said that he did notfeel
such sport at all at variance with his
dignity as peace officer of Oakland.

AIR SHIP AGAIN.
A Man at Everest, Kan, Tells How it
is Built.

Kansas City, Mo, April AT 3 o'clock
last night, according to the solemn dec
larations of many reputable citizens of
Kansas City, Kan, strange lights" ap-
peared in the sky south of that city,
and caused the Hveliest interest among
the people.
To those who saw the lights, all talk
of Venus or other planets, will not be
listened to.
As one man put it, Venus does not go
zig gag and criss cross along the hori-
zOn, as they declare this light does.
Following the statements comes a
sensational dispatch from Everest,
Brown county, Kan, some so miles
northwest of this city, to the effect that
the air ship" appeared there shortly
after g o'clock This dispatch was re
ceived with doubt and when some YER
ification was asked for by the newspa-
perS here, the correspondent at everest
telegra phed the following affidavit,
signed by men known to be in business
in that place.
This is to certify that we, the under
signed, saw and watched for some time
tonight the movements of large and
brilliant lights that travelled at various
heights over this city, and that we be-
lieve it to be the same as seen at var
iOus other points, and believe it to be
an air ship.

nercial hotel; E. E. Mason, roller mills;
Z. l. Stout, capitalist; Thos. Ellington.
The Everest correspondent claims to
| have secured a very good view of the
mysterious NlSlIOf, Catching d IuII view
of it outlined against a dark cloud that
| hung low in the sky. The report is
the lights first appeared from the south
east.
The ship" is described as about 30
feet in length and a combination of
| boat and balloon. The basket, or boat,
| appeared to the Everest correspondent
| to be shaped like an Indian canoe, and
above this, extending the whole length
| was the balloon.
Fans or wings project from either

The Everest correspondent thinks

| ishes the motive power, generates the

PARASITE IN THE EAR.
New Cause Assigned for the Sudden
Death of Horses.

Ellsworth, April yesterday after
noon the men working for Kalina &

died, making ne fifth one that the firm

the new disease.
After cutting off the ears close to the
head, for some reason or other the
man looked into one of the ears, and
found that the inside of the ear was
alive with an insect resem bling some
what a wood-tick. Now it is believed
with good reasons, that the parasite
works through the ear to the brain of
the horse, hence causing blindness and

money instead of throwing it away.
