 A play that will win the sympathy and interest of its audience and we'll merits the great success it is having it Quincy Adams Sawyer" which will be seen at the Hyperion Thursday night January ?.

Grand Opera Hou,o.

Christmas atmosphere prevails at the
 Grand Opera House this year and at
 every turn the patrons are aware that
 the holiday is at hand. The main en-
 trance is filled with Xmas tees and
 greens, and the holiday cheer is in evil
 dence at all parts. The attraction is
 that ever popular realistic drama, ''The
 Tide of Life.''
 This realistic drama has been pre-
 sented in this city for many years, but
 under the able and successful manage
 ment of Edward N. McDowell it has reached it's most successful success An entirely new use of electricity is shown
 in this new realistic drama A villain
 who is better out of the way, anyhow, is electrocuted on a Tive" wire some
 twenty feet above the stage, in full | view of the audience. He jumps from the second story of an office building in his flight from justice, and clutches at a trolley wire. There he hangs. with flashes of steely light from all parts of the body, and the hissng and cracking which tells of the deadly work of the electric force; it is weird powerful scene, and one that the spectator never | forgets. It seems fitting fate for the rascal, who has had no mercy on any one else.
 The Tide of Life" has many power ful scenic and mechanical surprises and there are many special features in the performance. Among the sensa- tions in the plays is the electrocution of villain on live wire, and wild ride by the young girl on top of an ex- press freight train.
 This play has achieved remarkable success through this country.
 The company includes such we'll known and popular actors as Maud Caulfeld, Arthur Lane, Lucy Parker, M. Strong, Frank Kiday, Anna Driver, May E. Cunard, John F. Learey, Paul Malchette. Gustave Wallace, Howard Earl, Arthur Lane and F. J. McKeon.

Callahan, author of "Foggs Ferry and Coon Hollow and Daniel Hart who wrote "The Parish Priest" for Daniel Sully.

COMING HOME AGAIN.
Barnum and Bailey to Return Next
 Fall

l Barnum and Bailey to Return Next 1 Fall
 Paris, France, Dec. 13,-The hearts of
 six hundred Americans were overjoyed
 when on Friday, the 18th instant, MT. J.
 A. Bailey stated officially that he would
 certainly bring our old friend, the Bar
 mum and Bailey Greatest Show on
 Earth, back to the land of it's birth,
 and thus redeem his promise to "once
 more gladden. the hearts of the children and the eyes of friends in America" by
 exhibiting to them the wonders of the
 big show. This decision Is not only positive, but also official, and in order
 to blaze the way for its triumphal re- turn and set the machinery in motion
 he will sail on the steamer Crown Prince William, leaving the 18th of De- cember and due in New York on De- cember Fist.
 When the show left America in the fall of 1897 the intention was to be abroad but two years, but the business was so phenomenal, the reception of the institution so warm and it's popularity so great, the term was extended, and now, after an absence of five years, its return is definitely fixed for next fall. This winter the show will exhibit in Paris, where it Is at present crowded with 'the most distinguished audi ences ever seen," in the Galerie des Machines, building fourteen hun dred feet long, and in the spring will make a tour of the provinces of France and part of Switzerland. During it's sojourn abroad the show has visited the principal cities of England, Scotland, Wales, Prussia. Wurtemburg, Saxony, Bavaria, Silesia, Poland, Austria, Hun gary, Croatia, Bohemia Moravia, Cali cia, Belgium, Holland Alsace, Lorain, etc., embracing in it's tour all the chief cities In the countries bounded by Rus sia, Roumania, Italy and Spain. In it's travels 1t has encountered and strug- gled with seventeen languages, passed nine customs examinations and sur mounted the difficulties involved in a myriad local and state laws and regu- lations. In every country it entered it was honored by the visit of the reign ing sovereign, and graced with the presence of royalty, members of the nobility and the highest dignitaries of church and state. It everywhere caused the greatest interest-the rail- way equipment and cars, patent coup lers, electric plant, organization, meth ods, loading and unloading and other matters which were so truly American, and which are so familiar to Americans were all the subject of much talk and The German army adopted the portable table scheme used in the hotel department of the show for purposes. And now, like ball of snow that increases as it rolls, the | show returns, loaded with honors. | crowned with triumphs and filled with novelties after having sown American deas in many strange lands.
 Some years ago Mir Bailey took his | show to Australia, New Zealand, Tas- mania. Java, South America, India l etc, and now with the conclusion of | 1is European tour he may faithfully ,laim to have effectively demonstrated a the civilized world the shows tow ,ring superiority and twenty times riv- ted the title of the Greatest Show on Earth.

and there is trouble in which the ladies rather place their admirers in predic- ament, but it is all happily cleared up,
 Flood brothers in an acrobatic come dy, and Crawford and Stanley as the Tramp. the Dude and the Piano are strong assistants to the laugh making, and Mamie Remington with her new picllaninnies also scored big.
 The musical features, as anticipated, were excellent. The Four Cuttys are artistic performers in everything they do, and Spenser Kelly, the baritone, is great. His songs are finely sung and he has magnificent voice.
 Flo Parker, Frey and Fields and the vitagraph complete a real enjoyable bill.
 Prices-Matinee 10 and 20 cents; even ing 1O 20 and 30 cents; ladies at matinee 10 cents.
