HER ATONEMENT

It was an exciting night at Tammany Hall when the twenty ton ferry boat crowded with 200 passengers, which is used in the production of Her Atone ment," crashed through the stage. Tammany Hall is next door to the Academy of Music in New York, and when this accident happened a few nights ago Chief Croker and his braves nearly had a fit, as they thought the Mazet Investigating committee were about to raid their wigwam. The pat rons of the Hyperion, where this play will be produced next Thursday night, need be in no fear of a similar accident taking place, as MT. Bunnell has had the stage carpenters strengthening the stage for this production. The cast is very strong, being headed by Louis Aldrich, as Colonel Swift, and Jessie Busley as the news boy. The engage ment is for three nights, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sale of seats now open. Prices s1 75c and soc.

To Make Many Children Happy on
Christmas.

Following an annual custom Of the firm
established year ago, Messrs Evans
MuHzer, Pickering & Co., proprietors of
The New Store, in Minneapolis, propose
to make a good many hundred children
happy who otherwise would not see very
much of Santa Claus on Christmas day.
On Monday morning, commencing at 10
o'clock, The New Store will be open just
long enough to give away to poor chill
dren all the stock of toys unsold after
Saturday night This means giving away
all remaining dolls drums, trains of cars,
bugles, toy animals, doll washtubs, fire
engines-in fact, everything that possibly
can be conceived in tcydoIa.
The firm want the poor children who
haven't friends or won't see many pres
ents to come to the free distribution, and
would like the cooperation of adults who
know deserving cases to have the children
come to the store on Monday morning.
Christmas coming on Monday, The New
Store will be closed all day, except for
this distribution, and the children are ask
ed to be on hand promptly at 10.
