The receipts have not been as large as de-

grades were marketable. The prices were
steady, with no particular change for me-

Anna Held is somewhat an abnormal

good to look upon. although only feet 8
inches as she steps into her bath Of asses
milk, but the Held craze is decidedly
bizarre. The little woman's train, with its
car Of voluptuous elegance and sumptuous
luxuries, was an hour late last night, and
a half dozen men armed with invitation

stamped the dry platform Of the Arcade
depot with undisguised impatience.

understandings are the slightest parts Of
her. nor the histrionic art because her In

to exert herself. The people go to look
at her. That is all And she is certainly
worth looking at. She owes her success
largely to the great American reporter,

I determined to interview her. In the

ORPHEUM.-The new bill last night
worked like charm, to the evident satis-
faction of the crowded audience. Rather
more than the average number of stories
and jokes were told by the different per-
formers, and it must be confessed that
while there was very little that was new
in what was said, yet the very antiquity
of the puns, the moss-grown character of
the Jokes and the venerable attempts at
humor, seemed to find the most favor in
the eyes of the house. Stories that have
attained a good old age in the Orpheum
itself were resurrected last night, and
excited peals of merriment, shrieks of
laughter and the noisiest kind of applause.
1t Is hardly to be wondered at, there
fore, that performers show so much re-
1uctance to change their turns. w. H.
Fox Is case in point. He still comes on
the stage attired In the familiar nonde-
script suit, the red wig on his head and
his coat faced with odd-looking ornaments.
He. still has the same catalogue of jokes
about the piano and the notes, and the
dust, and a score of other quips, with the
same old ring to them. He plays the piano
so well that 1t affords great pleasure to
listen to it, and surely he might rake over
the ash barrel of ancient jokes and sup
ply himself with some that are not quite
so decayed as those he has been using for
the last ten years.
In the strongest contrast to Fox Is Geo.
W. Day, a bright, clean-looking, intelli-
gent, gentlemanly fellow, who, as mono
logue comedian" is the best that has been
seen on this stage for many a day. He
sings a song that is reminiscent in it's de-
livery of poor Billy Scanlon. and he has got
the genuine sympathetic instinct that
characterizes the artist He produces his
effects legitimately, and as story-teMer
Is very dramatic. Some of his yarns were

Dog and PONY Show

The parade Of Norris Brothers trained
dogs and ponies attracted as much atten-
ton in the streets yesterday MORN
Ing as q three-ringed circus. The
seventy-two dogs, thirty ponies AMI
monkeys. with miniature police patrol, fro
department and other vehicles, made quite
an imposing procession. The dogs and po-
niles are well trained and perform many
novel acts. The show was well attended
yesterday at the opening performances
of the week.
The Heralds smallest reporter (aged
13) hands In his impressions of the show as
follows:
"There are ten men in the band. The
tent was adorned with bunting and flags,
one Of which was web. The band men
were smoking cigarettes at 20 for a nickel,
q man with a cracked voice was selling
Garvanza peanuts. The show is similar to
the other dog shows that have been here.
There was hayseed clown who fell
through the seats when told to go up there
by the horse man. There are number of
novelties, such as house on fire and things
like that, and the dogs and ponies do many
funny and clever acts'

As Dogs Delight

Julius Won Hacht, who runs the tamale

Sunday night in a house in Mott alley,
where the pair have resided. The noise of
the combat attracted the attention of Con-
stable Harry Johnston, who arrested them.
The trouble appears to have been a dis
pute over the training Of some hounds for
coursing, which Won Hacht had engaged
Jacoby to look after. Julius wanted to

What do you think" asked, ''of the
American reporter"
Miss Held. In the previous 1881 interviews
that she has submitted to, had only been
asked to talk about herself. While the
latter subject-I had to confess in answer
to little moue that she madc-was ex-
ceedingly interesting. yet I pointed out
that all the world had by this time heard Of
her personal charms. In fact Los Angeles
had seen very fair imitation Of most Of
them on Spring street billboards during
the last few days. and was anxious that
she should on this occasion talk on a SUBJ
ject about which I was sure she must by
this time be, an expert. Finally my i'm.
portunity overcame her modesty-she Is
really modest-and she consented:
1.-THE Amcricap reporta-i-r-e! Him!
Why! It IL a most great invention. He has
always the beautiful things about me to
say and like him. He is so sincere. ah
The most Of the papers print the pictures
Of me-many hundreds you can see In
my scrapbook-but they cannot always
do me justice" and the little woman looked
appreciatively at herself as portrayed In
one Of the numerous portraits that litter
the walls of the car and help her in her
devotions while travelling. THE artists
don't so much admire, but the reporta-i-
res, ah''
"Yes' continued the Held, "they have
the cheek and they have the originality.
They have never the same good words to
say about me every time. Always differ
The reportai-re. yes he Is dear little
beast" (This is more or less literal
translation).
'In Paris he is more familiar. you call
It; he say Helas, Anna! and would wish
to chuck me under the chin, but the Amer

you say, and they have the silent adora-
ton in their eyes, which they show the dear
public the next morning more than they
do me-"
Miss Held had Jumped" from Ell Paso
here and she was very "fatiguee," and ]
left her to be shown round the car, which
is almost as big an advertisement as
Anna herself. Miss Held's companions,

A Suspicious Coincidence

The detectives are investigating charges
which have been made in regard to certain
lodges employed by the bunco men, and
arrests are likely to follow. The victims
of the sure-thing steerers say that when
they have been approached and the.steer
ers learn that they are out here for their
health. they hand them the card Of GER
tain doctor on Spring street, whose office
is near the Poker Davis den, and recon-
mend the physician. Another significant
thing about the case is the fact that, when
searched, the steerers generally have the
cards of this same doctor about them.
