OPERA HOUSE.

The next attraction of the Alkahest
Lyceum System will be Friday, Feb
ruary 10, at the Opera House, when DIR.
Roland d. Grant will deliver his lecture
entitled "Snakes in Paradise" DR..
Grant occupies prominent position on
the American lecture platform, and
comes highly recommended. Speaking
of his lecture, the Augusta GA, J
Chronicle says:
"Dr. Grant is an orator. His lecture
is not monologue-the same voice, the
same questions all the way through.
There is constant variation not only in
the externals but in the thought itself
And, yet, all the while there is strict
continuity. His lecture fairly scintil-
lates with things; but beneath 1T all one
sees the philosopher, who in his turn
sees in all the conditions of life a garden
in which is ever tree that should be let
alone, and the plucking of whose fruit
should be avoided; and beneath it all,
too, one sees the poet preacher who can
depict so beautifully conditions that for
every man could make paradise"
The management of the Opera House
has closed an engagement with the
Herald Square Opera Co. to appear here
February II.
"Uncle Josh Spruceby,' will be the
attraction February 20.
Al G. Fields famous minstrels will
occupy the boards February %.
