HIT OF THE SEASON
The TOymaker'S Dream Makes a Sue
cess Before a Capacity House.

one IF the most delightful theatre
cal treats of the season was served
Monday evening when 'The Toy
makers Dream" a semi-operatic
musical comedy, generated by Will
liam Cushman, was presented at the
New Grand before a packed house.
The success of the attraction was
somewhat of a surprise as there we're
many who were inclined to believe
that ii would turn out L be a frost.
Inasmuch as the audience was COM
posed of the best judges of Lexington,
the universal expressions of approval
are sufficient evidences of the merit
of the performance. There was a
peculiarly fascinating swing to the
proceedings, which delighted even
the most critical. The twenty musical
numbers, covering as they did such a
wide range, some being the lightest
and gayest OF ballads, while others
we're deep and difficult, were well fit
ted in and all were rendered with
marked talent.
The cast contained eighteen peo-

sistants to the working out of the
play. The entire course of event,
formed a platform, as it were,

ISLANDERS and If he improves as the
years go by, he will soon be classed
with the comedian celebrities of the
land. The fun and genuine humor
which emanated from the hole in
his sunburnt face kept the audience
In a continual uproar. His two songs
Look Out for the Automobile and
Soldier Boy in Blue-were decided
hits. Hugh Morrison was good as the
old German toymaker, Rudolph.
George Lemley was the second best
man In the cast. His best work was
shown when he masqueraded as "The
Devil" Lemley has a magnificent
baritone voice and his several songs
were received with enthusiasm.
Miss Aleene Morrison as the doll and
Miss Louise St. Clair as Polly were
both fine. 1t was without question
the best show seen here since the

 --ExpiosiOn Shock County fer \ Twenty Miles Around.

Robinson, Ill. April 15.---Charles De- wees and Moses Lantx were blown to atoms shortly after the noon hour to- day when the nitroglycerine factory of the indepndent Torpedo Company at Gordon, H.. was destroyed by an ex- plosion.
 The nitroglycerine mill Is situated five miles southeast of this city and only two men were at work when the explosion occurred. The ground about the plant was torn up for an acre. and nothing Is left to show that the plant once existed. Only a small part of the breast of one of the men was found. Lantz was widower with two chfI- dren and Dewees left a widow.
 The explosion shook the country for twenty miles around. Here the shock was so strong that plastering fell from the ceilings of houses and the people ran out of their homes, thinking an earthquake had occurred. Every build ing in the city was shaken. but the less was small.
