ADJUSTMENTS.

With new songs, new jokes and new
scenery, it was not surprising that
RUSSO & Hollands MINISTRIES made a
decided hit with the tremendous audi
ence that damned the Salt Lake theatre
last night. A poor combination would
have played to good business after a
week of dark theatres, but the min
strels are not poOr-nor anything ap-
preaching il. They are decidedly good;
that Is, they average well. There are
weak spots in the organization. but in
the main the performance is pleasing
and entertaining, and excellent of its
kind.
Among the specialties that were par
ticularly pleasing was John Fuckers
song. Il Don't Care if I Never Wake"
Mr.. Rucker has a mouth of such am
pie dimensions that the somewhat IA
nous orifice of Billy Kersands looks
petite in comparison with it. A J.
Smiths Asleep in the Deep was
splendidly rendered baritone solo whose
effect was heightened by the gorgeous
stage setting. Allie Browns stunt as
slack wire performer was excellent and
warmly applauded, as was the knock
about acrObatic turn of McKissick and
Jones' The Diamond quartette also
scored a distinct success as entertain
ers.
The performance will be repeated this

SHE ooNoUERED THE EAGLE.
A Mothers Fierce Struggle to Save
Her Little Son.
CNew York World.

UniOntown, Ky.-FOr the life of her
child Mrs. John Bullock fought a mon
ster bald eagle and conquered it. Thurs
day evening Mrs. Bulloch's child was
playing just outside the kitchen door
The door was open. A dark shadow
-obscuring the light made Mrs. Bullock,
in the kitchen, turn toward the child.
Then she heard the little ones scream
of fright and agony.
She hads been mending the kitchen
fire and she rushed into the yard still
holding the poker in her hand. All she
could see was a monster bird hover
ing over her that had seized the boy
by the shoulders and was trying 10
raise him. The sharp-beaked head OF
the bird was closest to Mrs. Bullock.
She threw herself at it, striking wildly
with the poker. The eagle rose from
the child and darted at the mother.
The agony of a mothers love gave her
strength.
She struck wildly, SummOning all her
force; once, twice three times the
poker fell; the bird went to the ground
suddenly and lay Tapping much like a
humber fowl when it meets its fate.
Another blow crushed its head. Mother
and child are practically unhurt The
eagle measures eleven feet from tip
to tip.
