complished. There will be a new bud
get of smaller tricks, as a matter OF
course, all of the highest order of
merit, at the Opera House Thursday,
March 18th.
No one denies the genius Of Lincoln
]. Carter in devising startling stage
illusions. He has not pretended to b.
a great playwright, nor vet has he
professed desire to elevate the stage.
He is a shrewd individual with an eye
to the main chance. No one knows
better than he the dramatic gauge
Of the masses, and this is proven by
the immense profits he has derived
from the tours of his various plays.
Every dollar he possesses was made by
his own plays, and he has undoubtedly
more for box Office money than any
manager in America He is about to
forsake the melodramatic field, or at
least to put forth more ambitious en-
terprises. The first of the new order
of plays, Under the Dome" a pretty
comedy drama, which comes to the
Grand Opera House the last half of this
week, is already an immense success.
1t will be followed shortly by the pro-
duction of a big spectacular extrava-
ganza by Carter and a musical comedy
by a French author.

Cissy Fitzgerald: Thursday night Kellar,
the Magician.
At the Grand Opera House last night
The Span of Life" was presented to
another we'll pleased audience. This
melodrama abounds in stirring scenes
and most sensational climaxes. and the
play is mounted with large quantity
OF special scenery. The Donazettas. who
form the human bridge in the fourth
act also give remarkable gymnastic
exhibition for ten minutes. Other
pleasing specialties are introduced
during the action of the piece. There
is strong vein of comedy running
through 1t. The Span of Life" will
be repeated this afternoon and the en-
gagement will close with the perform

Cissy Fitzgerald, who will be at the
Opera House tonight, met with stern
objection to her stage aspirations on
the part of her parents. The crisis
came when at gathering at her home
she donned trousers in order to show
her admiring friends how we'll she
could take off the London dude where
upon she was despatched to a convent
where she remained until her thir-
teenth year Miss Fitzgerald, at the
completion of her educadIIh. could find
nothing in English society that would
serve as an outlet for her exuberant
spirits, and 1t became very apparent
That her natural vocation was upon
the stage. So upon the stage she went.
although she broke her engagement
to member Of the nobility in order
to do SO. About four years ago she
made her first appearance in the bur-
lesque Of "Ruy Bias" making an in
Simultaneous hit Since that time she
has become one of the most prominent
stars upon the stage and the principal
managers of London and the CONT
nent have been clamorous in their eff
forts to get her to return to the other
side. At last they have been success
full, and Miss Fitzgerald sails in April
for England. where she will remain
under a five years contract. Miss
Fitzgerald's first hit in America was
made with the original London "A
Gaiety Girl company, which made a

at Days, in New York. She was the
great attraction of THE Founding
during its run of 200 nights at Hoyt's
Theatre, and completely captured New

first appearance in Wheeling, and on
account of the five years contract be-
fore mentioned it is likely to be her

The big auxiliary steam yacht Nara

tention at Robins shipyards, Erie ba-
sin, at Brooklyn, recently. Carpenters
and painters were busy giving the fin
ishing touches to the yacht which has
been thoroughly overhauled under the
direction of Captain brandt. The crew
was oyerhauling the arsenal and setting
up the guns in order to give warm re-
ception to any wandering pirates, few
of whom still cruise about Tangier and

The armament of the Narada is quite
formidable for pleasure craft. Two

Lost Gold Ring Found In a glove

About a month ago Mrs. Willis Folks
of Wellington, Kan, lost the gold ring
which had been given to her by Mr.
Folks at the time they became engaged.
She advertised for the trinket and offer
ed rewards greatly i'll excess of its val
ue, but with no result a few days ago
another lady of Wellington went into a
store and commenced 60 try on kid
gloves. Her surprise may be imagined
when in removing a glove from her
hand she found "a strange gold ring up
on one of her fingers. The ring was en-
graved From Willis to Emma" and
was at once recognized as the one lost
by Mrs. Folks. She had been trying on
gloves in the same store and left the ring
in the glove when withdrawing her
hand. kansas City journal.

The "rounder. or man about town,
in Dawson ie hard pressed for amuse-
ment. There are two dance halls, both
of which will close up shortly unless
their proprietors can obtain supply of
coal oil to keep their dim lamps burn
ing.
There is peripatetic restaurant
which is open when it occasionally OBJ
tains enough food to supply meals at
from $3.50 to SO which would cost in
San Francisco from Is to 20 cents
Ham and eggs alone are S..
There is no regular theater or music
hall, although one dance hall is called
the Opera House. Once in awhile va.
riety show is given in one Of the dance
halls, reserved seats costing 49, III each
of these are half dozen girls who dance
with whoever cares for such amuse-
ment from early evening until late in
the morning. But for the strong faces
of the frequenters Of the places they
differ little in appearance from dance
halls on the Barbary coast in San Fran
cisco, in the Bowery in New York OF in
the east end Of London.
In these places no attempt is made to
supply the patrons with honest drinks
Hoochinoo, made on the premises or
somewhere else in town and favored
appropriately, is sold as Scotch, Irish
or Bourbon WHISTLES at so cents a
drink.
There are more than a dozen saloons
in Dawson, but the proprietors Of two
or three of them have bought up prac-
tically all the honest liquor in Dawson,
and the rest sell hoochinoo.
Gambling in Dawson is at a low ebb
now that most of those who have money
are away in the mines for the winter s
work, yet thriving business is done
in most of the saloons at roulette, faro
and stud poker.
Every four days some mine owner is
given the credit of having dropped from
