the sight acts were the Parros Brothers.
the Mollasso Salvaggi Troupe, and Mar
zellas Birds
Each OF these differs widely from the
another, and are all strong features. Per-
haps the most sensational Is that of the
Parros Brothers, whose remarkable aero
batic and athletic act OF head and hand
balancing has never been equalled on this
side OF the water. Their act Is character
tied by marvellous sureness. coupled
with wonderful skill and strength. The
feature OF the entire program Is furnished
by them, when one of the team stands
upon his head on a long pole balanced on
the shoulder of the other member OF the
team.
This is an unparalleled feat OF eauilib-
rum and nerve that is nothing short Of
startling.
The Mollasso Salvaggi Troupe OF dane
ers almost took away the breath OF the
spectators by their graceful whirlwind
and society dances. Their are four OF
these dancers. and their act Is character
lied by a vivaciousness and grace that
is admirable. This act provoked verita-

earned. IL is rare treat which no one
should miss Marzellas Birds offered a

There is only one IIarrlgan. and that

re-appearance yesterday amid a thundcf-
Gus amount OF applause. He did some
really clever Juggling. interspersed with
some really funny comedy that proved ir-
resistible and would make decided hit
aside from his juggling. He certainly
warranted the rousing reception given

NEW EMPIRE THEATRE.

There was a large and apparently well
satisfied audience at the New Empire
theatre last evening TO witness the return
OF Nellie McHenry In Miss. Miss Nc
Henry seemed TO please all by her very
amusing efforts I'm the part OF the child
OF the Sierras.
The play is well staged and the support
to the star Is very agreeable. Miss Nc
Henrys work is so familiar To theatre
goers that Il requires no criticism. She
takes the part OF the rough child In a
manner that brings out all the oddities
and fun OF the character. There are few
soft or tender spots i'm the character and
I'm these Miss McHenry seems not TO be
as satisfactory To the audience as I'm the
rougher but more amusing incidents.
Her audiences find no fault at this.
So, Az she gives them satisfaction much
comment is saved, though, of course,
there are some who miss a poetry that Is
never absent where mountains and women
are. no matter how rough the life. There
are some very stirring scenes, such az
the murder OF old Smith, the father OF
Miss. the ynching party. and the trial

The Art of Giving.

One of the stupidest mistakes In life
Is that of supposing what we call the
necessities OF life are the only neces-
sary things. Because a family IL scant
of food or warmth IL does not always
follow that a blanket, a basket of coal,
or even a turkey. will warm or feed
them more than lace curtains, fancy
lamp and a box OF bon-bons. L have
known at least one-case where an opal
ring effected what a ton Of coal could not,
and many and many young girl would
be warmer In pretty new cotton shirt
waist than in a mountain OF heavy under
wear. A trim pair OF shoes Will comfort
young feet better than warm socks. and
a theatre ticket or bicycle Is sometimes
a better. financial lift than a receipted
rent bill
Food, fuel shelter, blankets, coal and
clothing of the strictly necessary type,
the great majority OF mankind must ar
rive at, do arrive at. by one means or an
other. But boys and girls, men and wom-
en- all about us suffer and starve for the
theatre ticket, the book. the bicycle, the
bit OF finery at which they can never ar
rive unaided but the possession of which
makes easy and possible the struggle for
all the rest.
That "improvidence OF the poor" OF
which we talk no lightly, says the Cri-
terion. is natures merciful provision for
the sanity OF the poor. too often. IL is
not always the act which looks so wise
that has most of wisdom In 1t.
Particularly in the young this healthy
craving for the beautiful cries out: and
If one never has what one Graves. II gets

child who is never allowed a ribbon makes
herself ridiculous a woman by her love

OF brightness. will almost surely pay too
dear for IL some day. Not always have

shall decorate it's dreariness and beautify
it's barrenness for another twelvemonth.
How fine an art IL comes to be, this art of
giving!
IL follows that one of its fundamental
rules should be: To those who lack
necessities give luxuries.
A second reason for this is II can never
then mean charity, but always brother
hood IL Is a form of giving which hu-
initiates neither giver nor recipient.
IL carries with IL as a corollary: TIC
those who have all the luxuries Of life
give the only luxury remaining, some
thing simple.

NEW LINE OF SIXTEEN STEAMERS

Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 29.-The White Pass
Railway company has been ordered by the
Dominion government to reduce it's freight
and passenger rates between Skaguay,
Alaska, and White Horse Rapids, Yukon.
The company has positively refused, and
there does not seem any means by which
the Canadian authorities can assert their
authority This is due to the fact that
tWenty-one miles of the railway are In
American territory-viz., Skaguay to the
summit. The company may have to adopt
the Canadian tariff over the section of the
line in Canadian territory, but can charge
any rate it pleases over the twenty one
mile section. ~.
