Grand Opera Itsase.

One of the most thrilling situations yet devised by the combined art of the playwright and the stage mechanic oc- CUTS !n the third act of "A Ragged Hero" which is at the Grand opera house tonight and Friday and Satur- day nights with matinee Saturday. The village beauty appears at a hilltop bearing reprieve for her lover who has been unjustly condemned to death. A yokel with a sled is waiting for the limited express. which is late. to pass at the foot of the hill. The girl im- Dlores the lad to start at once on his sled. taking with him the reprieve, so hat the condemned youths life might be saved. He refuses to risk his life to save another's. The girl, nothing daunted. takes the sled from him and starts herself. She reaches the railway track just as the train approaches the crossing. Although she has a narrow ecape, she crosses afeiy and reaches the prion yard in time to triumphantly full fill her mission.
