to FRAGILE. The company was greet
ed with big houses both afternoon and
evening, and the weeks business prom
ises to smash some records.
The members OF the company go
about their work with q dash and vim
that Is decidedly refreshing, and from
the time the curtain goes up there Is
not moment when there isn't some
thing doing. The opening skit Is
called "A Trial Marriage" and has to
do with the history OF Nellie Andrews,
a gay and stunning adventures, who
marries Albert Andrews, mamma s
boy and the ludicrous situations
caused by the resemblance between
Jeremiah and James Jenkins. John
Williams takes the part OF James. and
his rapid-fire talk and antics kept the
audience roaring Ruby Leoni, who
plays the adventures, is a stately bru-
nette. strikingly handsome and beauti-
fully gowned. She appears In num-
Der of songs which were repeatedly
encored
The olio numbers Included Frank

2o5 RESCUED FROM LIMA
REACH CHILE; SO MISSING.

Ancud, Chile-The British steamer
Strathurst has arrived here with 1873
men and women and seventeen of the
crew OF the steamer Lima, which is on
the rocks in West Ifuamblin Passage,
Straits Of Magellan. The steamer
went garound in a storm on Febru-
airy s.
The steamer officials having left
lightweight persons aboard the Lima,
their rescue being impossible. They
had no drinking water, the tanks hav-
ing burst. The first mate of the
Lima and fifty passengers were
drowned.
There seems to be some doubt, ac-
cording TO the dispatches from San
tiago and Ancud, respectively, as to
the steamer which rescued the 205
persons from the stranded Lima. The
Hatumel is given in the shipping reg
lister, while the Strathurst is not listed
there.

81 DIE AS SHIP GOES
ON ROCKS IN MAGELLAN.

Santiago, Chile.-The Pacific Nav
igation company's steamer Lima is
ashore on one Of the islands of the
Huamblin Passage Of the Straits OF
Magellan, and probably will be a total
loss. The chief pilot and fifty passen-
gers we're drowned.
The British steamer Hatumel res
cued 205 of the persons aboard the
steamer, but was forced to leave
lightweight persons aboard, whom 1t
was impossible to rescue.
The stranded steamer Lima is a
British vessel, owned in Liverpool and
plying between that port and the
ports of South America. She was last
reported as sailing from Bahia Blanco,
Argentina, on January 26, and was on
her way to Chilean and Peruvian
ports.
The place where the steamer was
wrecked is probably Huamblin Pass
age, located between the south shore
of San Pedro Island and Chile. 1t
is a narrow passage full of danger
and very difficult of navigation.
Huamblin rocks, two in number and
sixty-fve feet high, mark the entrance
to the passage.
