The Mystic Midgets played in their
first appearance to a crowded house
last evening at the Opera House.
Enough praise cannot be bestowed upon
all who have the affair in charge. The
magnifcence of the stage setting and
the beautiful and quaint costuming of
the participants was a striking fea-
ture Of the performance. All cos
tunes were supplied by New York's
best costumers, and the effects of the
tableaux, shown under calcium light,
were superb.
Gallant Prince Cbdillous fell a will
ing victim to the soft glaGces of
Queen Titania, and the beautiful
nymphs as quickly won the hearts OF
the large audience. . Even the evil
designs of cruel Ugilo's gnomes were
thwarted by their imperious power,
and the gnomeS themselves captured
and changed to animals. The fairies
are in the midst of their festivities in
celebration of the anniversary of the
flowers when the fearful gnomes in
terrupt their sport and steal away the
magic wand and chest. The merry
band of Mystic Midgets fly to succor
the gentle fairies, and after much
trouble restore the stolen treasures,
for which the prince receives the hand
of the beautiful queen and his dashing
commodore that of pretty Psyche.
Such is the romantic story of the
pretty operetta. The cast is composed
of one hundred and fifty children, all
home talent, and is very strong, espe-
cially in the leading characters. The
story is entertaining and is developed
in verse and song in a manner at once
natural and artistic.
The performance throughout is spec
tacular, the calcium lights being used
with telling effect and rendering the
fairy scenes brilliant pictures indeed.
One of the most gratifying features of
the performance was the remarkable
way in which the children acquitted
themselves. The piece itself is far
from easy to learn. Besides the
music, which is of a very high grade
for a juvenile performance, there are
a number of intricate drills, dances and
groupings that one would not natural
ly expect children to do well. Regard
less of all this, however, the perform
ance was remarkably smooth and free
from blunders. And then, too, some of
the children are so small for such
work, but they did it, and did it nice
ly.
Prince Obdillous, of the Mystic Midg-
cts, the leading character, was excel
lently portrayed by Master Clinton
Pryor, and his royal highness' commo-
dore by Alpha Dinger. Elmer Bon
nette, as Uglio the ogre, leader of the
gnomes, acquitted himself very credit
ably.
Miss Nellie Reese as Titania, queen
of the fairies, could hardly be excelled
in the part, and Miss Essie Ellsworth
as Psyche, the queens attendant, was
very good. Sambo and Quimbo, two
little coons, the Pullman pets, por-
trayed by Eddie Schell and Eddie
Spears, received an ovation of applause
from the large audience present.
A matinee performance for the bene-
fit Of school children will be given
this afternoon at 2 O'Clock. The prices
have been cut and ought to pack the
house. The price of admission for
children to any seat in the house is 10
cents; adults, % cents. The regular
performance will be put on tonight.

TEN CENTS Fob A BLOCK.
What Chief Bonner Offered For a Burning Buldng--A Man Whose
Life Was Not Worth a Dollar. L

II would not give ten cents for that block"
So said Chief Bonner OF the New York Fire Department
during the great confa grafton in that city on Sunday night,
December 4th, 1898. ],
In the midst of the bowling gale and falling rain the men
fought like the Old Guard at Waterloo and in the end with far
better success. Yet there were moments of intense doubt and
anxiety. But before daylight broke on the wild scene, the
commander of the little army of rescue drew a deep breath Of
relief-he had the situation in the palm of his hand.
So far as we know, men have always been fighting disease
which is a worse affection than fre-have been trying to
understand it and suppress it. What have we learned? We
have not learned every thing, but we have learned much.
We can help all ailments; some we can cure. Sufferers from
disease want help, no matter what it is or where it comes from.
That is why people are continually writing such letters as
these Dear Sir-You will remember my describing in a
former letter how terribly / suffered from chronic kidney
trouble and how hopeless my condition was at that time. l
had consulted doctor after doctor, from general practitioners
to eminent specialists, with one uniform result. They looked
wise and talked well, but they did not help me. But l
wanted what all sufferers want-relief, not reasons.
In my other letter l said l would not take one hundred
thousand dollars for what your great discovery had done for
me. To-day | say l would not take a million dollars for
what Warmers safe Cure did for me. When l took the first
dose, l was so full of despair of my future, that l would not
have given a dollar for my chances in this world. Yet because
of this medicine only, life is as sweet and precious to me as

incident. It's feature was an hours
