Polls Wonderland Theater.

MT. Poli gave players to his big audi ence last night who fulfilled their mis- sion to the letter. Tt is to laugh" seems to be the motto of vaudeville--or to astonish, maybe, at times, with nov city or daring. All this enters into the present bill. George Neville and his company of players are giving funny sketch called "A Cold Deal. or Just Off the Ice." It Is very good, clean and bright, Orc, Barnard and Gro, with Chinese sketch giving a scrap of life from Chinatown in San Francisco, are really artistic in the character work and uproariously funny in their burlesque. A. Sydney Rhorer, the baritone with the songagraph, a new device for Illus trating songs, is a hit. Robert Fischer & Co., in "Yours Truly, John L." give sketch in which his impersonation of John L. Sullivan is so accurate that it Is startling. The Pantzer trio in sensa- tional acrobatic act, the Simpsons in musical act, dainty Nellie Burt in songs and dance, and the Gaspard brothers in Mexican axe juggling, and McWalters and Tyson, lively pair with sketch full of jolly character comedy, make up the bill. Prices, 10 and 20 cents; ladies at matinee, 10 cents. Reserved seats, 30 cents.

A VERY SUCCESSFUL PLAY.
'The Dairy Farm at the Hyperion
 Last Evening

'The Dairy Farm" at the Hyperion
 Last Evening.
 Direct from it's successful run in New York "The Dairy Farm" was presented to a large audience at the Hyperion last night and was accorded a f1atter- ing reception, re-echoing the judgment of the metropolis that it is distinct success. Many rural plays have been presented here in the past, but in "The Dairy Farm we have something that far eclipses all previous attempts at rural drama. It is quaint, thoroughly homelike and rustic and portrays the varied human emotions and teaches a good lesson, showing that self-assumed infallibility and sternness are misplaced feelings in the human breast. One good innovation in the play is this, in most of this kind of plays the villain betrays some young and innocent girl but this is omitted in "The Dairy Farm" The audience was very appreciatiVe and the company received several curtain calls. Eleanor Merron, who is the author of the play, plays the leading part in it in way that leaves no room for ad- verse criticism. The rest of the com pany were all excellent in their several roles. The action of the story demands no star, and the cast furnished none; instead the audience enjoyed seeing a company where all were capable and where everyone had chance for much struggled-for vantage, the "center of the stage"
 Miss Merron was exceedingly clever as Arimanta Whitleek and played the part of the awkward country girl to perfection. Her scenes with Paul Tay- Tor, who appears as the bashful lover, brought down the house. The scenes of the play are laid in the village of Hur- ley, Ulster county, N. Y., between the years 1854 and 1856 Squire Hurley owner of 'The Dairy Farm is good Christian, good citizen, kind neighbor and the best hearted man in Ulster county. He insists, however, on hav- ing his own way in everything-and perhaps that is the reason Simon Krum, his next door neighbor, hates him so. The squire has nephew, Ma than Newkirk, who is to inherit "The Dairy Farm" Simon Krum has a niece, Lucy, pretty girl; Nathan Newkirk thinks her the prettiest and best girl in all the world, and he does not miss an opportunity of letting Lucy know the exact state of his feelings. He asks her to become his wife and Lucy accepts him. The squire, how ever, has planned Nathan's future and has picked out for his future bride Miss Eunice Jane Perkins the richest girl in the village. Nathan rebels, the squire insists, Lucy pleads the squire remains obdurate. Nathan marries Lucy, the squire disinherits Nathan, and he and his newly married bride are forbidden to ever show themselves at the Dairy Farm again The story ends in the good old way, the squire relents, the farm is saved and all live happily for ever after. "The Dairy Farm will be presented again this evening and de- serves a packed house. Seats now on sale. Prices $1, 75c, soc.

She pushed the child from her and began extinguishing the flames She called for help, and mem- bers of the family on the floor below hearing her cries, hurried to her assist ance. Before the fire was extinguished nearly all of Mrs. Mitchells clothing had been burned. Dr. A. c. Mailer was called and finding the burns so se- were ordered that she be sent to the hospital. There everything possible was done for her. but to no avail
