turned to z, G. NJ. |. where he worked
until June, 1892, when he was called
on o mission to the Southern States
After i've months In the field he was
transferred TO the office mt Chattanoo-

Strange as 1t may seem to some, the

prophecy Bishop w. L. N. Allen, who

Twenty-flrst ward. having predicted
that George A, Smith. then very
young man and acting in the capacity
OF Mutual Improvement missionary,
would some day be an Apostle In the
Church of Jesus Christ Of Lattor-day
Saints. A similar prediction was made
upon him by Patriarch Zebedee Col
trim, now deceased. Elder Smith had
not the least intimation Of his appoint
ment and heard nothing Of 1t until
after the meeting at which the action
sustaining him as such was taken. His

BosToCK's WILD ANIMALS.

Everyone is talking of the remarka-
 ble exhibition that is being given at
 Polls this week by Bostock's collection of wild animals, and on all sides it is pronounced the most sensational nov
 city that has ever been shown in the
 city. It looks already, from the inter- est expressed in the exhibition, as if it would repeat it's New York expert ence of attracting everyone in town to
 at least one of the performances. The exhibition was given in exactly the
 same shape as it is now being present ed at Polls for four months ill New York, and during that entire period the St Nicholas Garden, where 1t was given. was crowded to its utmost ca Epacity every afternoon and evening. Wild animals always have a fascma- tion for the ordinary man, and as they are exhibited by MT Bostock, made to go through such tricks as it is possible to teach them, the exhibition is made additionally interesting. Perhaps the most exciting feature of this show is Prof Arnoldo's group of leopards and jaguars, and as they are sent through their performance, splitting and snarl- ing and snapping, the effect is quite thrilling and fascinating. Prof Ar noldo shows a huge untamable lion
 also, and he makes this most pie turesque exhibition because of the un- feigned ferocity of the savage beast. Madame Barlow puts quartet of lions through series of tricks, and this act, too, is of great interest. Then there are Prof Barlow's trained elephants. which certainly execute some wonder ful feats for such huge beasts. For the more peaceful and domestic anil mals there is Prof Blake's dog, monkey and pony circus, and this is specially interesting to the little ones as well as the older folks. And there is the box ing kangaroo which gives an exhibi- ton with the gloves that would de light Sam Thrasher no less than Harry Durant. The show as a whole is of rare interAst and DO one should fail

DUsE AND MARY SHAW.

When Mary Shaw appeared in h. sons Ghosts in New York city this season leading newspaper said: sThe naturalness of Mary Shaw's acting has been equaled only by one actress, Duse." The New York Herald says: .'Her work challenges comparison with Duse." This linking of the names of the great Italian artist and the distin- guished American actress became fla vorite habit with theater-goers who saw much similarity in their respective talents. Miss Shaw literally carried New York by storm with her magnifi- cent acting in Ghosts The news of her success flashed by wire to all parts of the country. The road tour of Miss Shaw in Ibsen's Ghosts will be short, and already manifestations of approval have been expressed by local theater- goers on the fact that this city has been included in her route. M ST Shaw will be seen at Polls on Wednesday even ing of next week.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES

. VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES. There is an excellent animal novelty act at the Jacques also this week in Mile Theo's trained horses and dogs. Mile Theo is a noted esquestrienne and trainer who has recently arrived from Europe to become feature of one of the big circuses this season, and, as al- ready told, was corraled by MT Poli for two weeks, one of which he consider ately gave to Waterbury. She has made distinct hit with her exhibition, and while she does not show a great collection of animals, those she has are a quite remarkable lot and she exhibits them with a dash that is decidedly in teresting. And then there is so much comedy in the show in addition that every minute spent in watching it is one of pleasure. Georgia Gardner and Joe Maddern head the comedy part in ''Too Many Darlings,'' and they carry the honor we'll. And then the Dono- vans, old favorites here, Charles Har- ris and the Dillon brothers add to the comedy with remarkable success. Miss
 Ethel Gilkey and the Merrills complete the roster of vaudeville acts, and the vitagraph "Glimpses of Ireland'' round out the bill. These pictures of the old land are wonderfully realistic and they give as vivid conception of the old land almost as tour of the island.
 Everyone interested in Ireland and the life of her people should make it a point to see these beautiful pictures some time during the week. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
