Academy-.Superba."

There were several new features in the
production Of "Superba," shown last night
at the Academy, the principal one being in
the introduction of Herbert's troupe Of
: trained dogs. together with the monkey.
Stubs. All Of these animals show the re-
suit Of great care and attention, while the
leap of Dink, the star of the aggregation,
from the top of ladder as high as the
proseenium arch, probably is the best aero
batic feat of the sort ever seen here. The
only other leap in the piece was that taken
by Aurelio Coccia in the first act, when
that gentleman fell from draw bridge to
the stage, falling to catch himself on the
overhanging tree from which he was to
proceed to the rescue of the. beleaguered
hero. In athletics, however, Scott and VIII
son rivaled the brutes and won great ap-
plause with their work. Charles Guyer fills
the role of Peirrot as Of old, while the other
principal parts are assumed acceptably by
Pearl Ford, Helene Gilmore, Camille Por-
ter and Lenore Lockwood. The Rays and
"a Hot Old Time" are underlined for next
week. -- ss,

Crand-yaudcyiIlc.

The most captious critic hardly could
devise q more ideal bill for polite vau-
deville" house than is presented this week
at the Grand Except for Joe Welch, every
individual slated has played the Burke &
Chase theatre before or during the year, and
each has proved his or her ability. Oi
course. Camilla Urso is the best of the peo-
pie gathered. and yesterday the violinists
fairly enthused two audiences with heI
work. Stanton and Modena continue tc
appear in that embryo "A Contented Wo-
man. which they have dubbed For Re-
FORM" while T. W. Eckert and Emma
Berg have a japanese operetta, entitled
Little Pee Weet," which, without being
brilliant or original. serves as delightful
vehicle for their specialties. In The Maid
and the Professor are introduced Hilda
Thomas and Lou Hall. The acting of both
is of an ordinary order. but Miss Thomas
limitations are good. The Sa Vans, who
have increased in number, put forward
their old grotesQue acrobatic act, Mr..
Welch tells some new jokes, and the Bio
graph projects series of interesting
pictures. John w. Ransome and Francesca
Redding are underlined for next week.

newspaper article, which appeared yesterday af-
trnoon in relation to the extension of streets.
Mr. Ross was quoted as saying that q 200. 900

MUST PAY WATER RENT.
The Comm issioners Rule Against til
Central Union Mission.

Central Union Mission.
The Commissioners yesterday ordered
that in the future the authorities of the
Central Union Mission will be compelled to
pay water rent, as they have been exempt
from taxation ever since the present
structure has been occupied by them.
This action is taken as a result of an
enquiry made by the Commissioners, which
developed that the mission was being used
as boarding and lodging house and not
solely for purposes of religious worship.
A letter was addressed to the mission
authorities yesterday stating that they
would be compelled to install water me-
ter Immediately and after its installation
the mission will be charged cents for
every thousand gallons Of water used. This
is the same rate that is charged to hotels
and apartment houses.
