BREED THEATER.
Augmented Musical Forces Proves
 Genuine Attraction.

Out of the many attractions of last evening, the Breed theater was as well attended as any. and the audience was a. most enthusiastic one, giving the new musical combination a splendid welcome. MT. Fred Clark, the new trap drummer, Is kept very busy pro- ducing effects for the very excellent pictures, and the result is all that could be desired, the pictures being materially strengthened and improved by them. The bell solo between the reels was a delightful number, and the audience insisted upon it's repetition. The great feature of the bill Is the pie ture, The Yellow Jacket Mine. and is easily one of the most picturesque and interesting ones ever seen. The great race between southern steamer and q pursuing husband on horseback on shore Is but one of the thrilling scenes. and the great climax coming when the steamer is set on fire, and is slowly burning, as 1t sails down the river. Certainly one of the most ambitious songs attem pted in long time is the beautiful aria of Verdi's, entitled ,,Ah, Have Sighed to Rest Me" as rem dered by Miss Grace Alvin, the dra- matic soprano of the Breed

AT THE, SET OF THE SUN.

At the set of the sun, When our life work Is done. With all it's tangled web.
 When the clouds drift low, , And the streams run slow, And life is at its ebb:
 As we near the, goal
 When the golden bowl r- Shall be broken at it's fount; With what sweetest thought l Shall the hour be fraught. What precious most shall countI Not the flame of the sword. Nor the wealth we have stored In perishable things of the earth Not the way we have trod
 With the intellect broad, Though that were of precious worth; Nor the gain we achieved q. Through the hearts we have grieveo. And left unhelped by the way:
 Nor the laurel of fame
 When for worldly acclaim We toiled in the heat and the fray. . An, no. 'tis not these That will give our hearts ease When life sinks low in the west; But the passing sweet thought Of the good we have wrought. e The saddened lives we have blest. And the love we have won, And the love beckoning on. From his island far and dim: e Love out of the light,
 Shining into the night, The night which leadeth to Him.
