graceful pastures, in the act Of praying,
lying and reclining, finally passing an
iron hoop completely around her while
free in the air The performance con-

Many Tone"
PIANOS

When you buy a plano why not get
one from which you can obtain the
tones OF many other instrumentsg The
GROWN is the "Multum in Paryor
among pianos. GROWN" costs No
more than any good Single tone" pi-
ano does. CROWN lasts twice as
long as "one tone" pianos
can. CROWN has hundreds OF
tones and effects which no
single tone piano, OF dreary
monotony, can have. They try to make
you believe that the GROWN is COM
plicated and apt to get out OF order,
while the fact Is. and is plain to any
ore who looks at It, that the CROWN
piano Is perfectly simple and simply
perfect They try to fool the people
into thinking that the devices for maxi
ing many tones injure the plano, or
In time will injure It's plano tone. while
the very opposite Is the exact truth and
fact The GROWN" simply because
of its devices for making many tones
is warranted to. and It will. wear twice
AS long as any single tone piano can.
We will show and prove this 10 you Il
you will only call and give us and the
GROWN" q hearing.

THE Little Minister was present.
ed by one of Charles Frohman's com.
panies to a large audience last even
ing at the Grand Opera House. Miss
Adelaide Thurston was delightful as
Lady Babbie, and In the opinion Of
many theatregoers she is as clever and
wlnsome in the role as Miss Maude
Adams, who won fame in this produc-
ton. Miss Thurston also has the
charm of beauty. Ira A. Hards, as
Gavin Dishart, the little minister, was
excellent. The clever work of those
who impersonated the elders, George
Conway, Irving Williams and William
Henderson. and May b. Henderson, as
Mamie Webster, was thoroughly en-
loved. The scenery was fine.

p. T. Darnum said that the people
liked to be humbugged. That may be
true in relation to shows. People may
enjoy being humbugged for their own
amusement: they do not enjoy It in
matters Of business. They resent il
and neither forget nor forgive double
dealing. Therefore, when writing an
advertisement the wise merchant sticks

The merchant whose advertisement

VESTS IDEA OF M1NSTRELSY.
AT the time of the formation Of VIII
liam II. Vests Big Minstrel Jubilee.
which comes to the Opera House on
next Thursday. there was considerable
talk Of how different It was to be from
all that had gone before. The public
not unnaturally perhaps, inquired
somewhat doubtingly how after all.
enc minstrel show could differ from
another. Mr.. West has positive opln-
ions on this subject His idea of mod
ern minstrelsy is that It must, in mu-
steal way. have all the value OF opera;
that &c must exceed in novelty any
thing known IN vaudeville; that it must
retain only a tinge of the picturesque
ness OF the plantations that it must
please the ear by vocal and orchestral
excellence; must surprise and delight
The eye by the beauty OF Its costumes
and stage settings; and must astonish
the mind by the absolute novelty OF
its special features and the spectacular
character of its finale. He believes, IN
fact that modern minstrelsy. or rather
the minstrelsy OF the future, such as
be has inaugurated, should draw All
that Is best from every form Of enter
tainment known to the stage, unltine
them IN pot pourri Of up-to-dateness
All should 90 with the dash, rapldity
and sparkle OF the ideal farce-comedy
