Kaufman Brothers, black faced burlesquers; Pearl and Yosco, harper and sing CT; Roberts, Hayes and Roberts, The Cowboy, the Swell and the Lady" Ben Eyer and Brother, com edy cyclists, and the electrograph complete the bill.

seemed to do her no good. I took her
to the best doctor in the city and he
said that she would have the sores
