Record Broken at the New Phillips.

All records for attendance at the
New Phillips vaudeville theatre were
broken yesterday both at the matt
nee and night performances, and the
days attendance taken together was
the best in the history OF the house.
1t was a splendid start for the year
1906 and Manager Murray was all
smiles last night. Last night the
crowd was so large that many were
not able to get in and the standing
room was SO closely taken that it be-
came almost uncomfortable.
The bill being put on this week is
one that is highly. pleasing, taken as
a waole. The demonstrations with
liquid air, under the title of 1.-The
Mysterious Crucible,' are Of a mar
velous nature and are given just as
they are advertised This feature is
one that will appeal not only to those
who ordinarily attend the vaudeville,
but to hundreds of others who watch
the development of. subjects of sci
entific nature. Accompanying the
demonstrations there is a talk OH
liquid air that is of highly interest
ing nature A cake of ice was set
on fire, kettle of water was boiled
on cake of ice, iron and steel were
turned to molten metal, steel bars
were welded together in a few sec
onds and a horseshoe was moulded
in few seconds, just as advertised.
There is no illusion about the liquid
air demonstrations All is done in
the full view of the audience and it
is Of a most remarkable and enter
tanning nature.
Other features Of the bill are also
worthy of mention. The Exerrs put

Nr. and Mrs. Longworth
Delighted With Their
Visit to the Old

Havana, March i, 1905.
TT MEANS something quite out of the
ordinary to be an American bride
in Cuba. There is an atmosphere
of romance. a thrill OF rapture, an
aroma of the elder ana sweeter days
about the island that join with the
other special circumstance to produce a
condition altogether exhiiarating -
wholly delightful-a sparkling sonnet in
the prose of life.
And when one is the American
bride-why. 1t is to be inferred. these
charms are If Indefinitely multiplied And
when the" American bride has all the
capacity for enthusiasm and apprecia-
ton of the Presidents daughter. the
charms m-st . 3, raised 10 their final de-

Her First Expressions.
When the ship carrying the bridal
couple stole in past the cleaning white
lighthouse which holds the corner Of
MORO Castle, Mrs. Longworth was ask
ed for her first impression of Havana
by a wealthy merchant of that city.

responded, looking at the gray and mot
tied walls of Cabanas Fort and then
at the picturesque structures which line
the broad boulevard of the Malecon-
"Do people really live in those yellow,
blue, pink, red, brown, and purple
houses? o.
"Those are business blocks and ware
houses" answered the merchant
''Impossibler' declared Mrs. Long

to store dolls in"
