However, It provokes some laugh- ter and fits well to his speeches. Hester Waters, as the daughter of one of the pros- perous Irishmen, manages to look pretty and sing daintily. Willie Mack, a Juvenile man, has a voice that makes a noise. If not har- mony, and he Blbgs "Mammy's Shufflln' Dance" and a few other numbers that bring him some applause. The chorus consists of several maidens of old vintage, but with the help of make-lip they deceive nature and the nudlcnce. Two of the company, Gene Pol- lard and Willie Mack, offer their respective skits In tbe olio. Gay Wldowa 25. Majkotio (Lyman II. Glover, mgr.)—Eva Tanguay was held over for another week. The houses, of course, were tremendous, and in fact, were sold out entirely with tbe ex that they have pleasant business relations, but there la nothing more binding in tbelr dealings. The Aerial Bcdds .have been placed at Hammersteln's for a. New York showing, by Walter Mcakin, of the A. K. Meyers office. Ollie Martel, who bas been In advance of one of "The Rosary" companies, has returned to the city and Is to be seen along the Rlalto once more. Ed. Anderson, one of tbe well known figures along the Rlalto, has been out in the country with a mechanical doll act called "Proto," and has been meeting with success. The management of the Casino Theatre gave a box party to the young ladles em- ployed by the W. V. M. A. on Tueadaynlght. The party, chaperoned by Mildred Wiener, consisted of Mabel Swanson, Marie Wyman, Adellotte Dunn, May O'Connor, Adelaide Redeskl and "Freckles."

William Flimbn and Compant were add- ed to the bill at tbe Wilson Theatre on Sunday night, to take the place made vacant by the Stewart Sisters and Escorts, who bad to leave to fill engagements In Louisville. Tre Farbeb Sisters had a splendid re- ception at the Wilson Theatre last week, and received some, beautiful floral tributes during their engagement there. n terrible blizzard. Hlnton and Wooton opened in a novel football match on bicycles, -which proved interesting. Paul Barnes fol- lowed with Jokes and songs, and warmed up the front of the house somewhat. Caesar Itlvoll was In third position, and received n tremendous hand at the close. He is a clever artist In his specialty, and for those who have not seen him before, he proved a revelation. Cadets De Gascogne followed in a slow offering of opera singing, The Six Iirovt'tt Bros., were in position F, and set the bill to a fast pace with their comedy playing. The playing on the saxophone proved tho best of any of the other Instruments. Tbelr lilt of comedy was about the only thing on the bill in tills line. Edgar Atchison Ely their pursuers the slip, and sometimes trav- eled by wagon not less than sixty miles in a day, giving a performance into tho bargain. But the Institute' people, backed up by au enormous capital, never gave up the pursuit for an instant, and sometimes during tho season of 1836. they overhauled B. A S. at Erie, Pa., where both companies showed side and side for some days. Here the Institute party got Sweet away from tbe othor con- cern, and Bancker gave up and sold out to the monopoly, who gave a free performance to the citizens of Erie in honor of their triumph —a triumph which had cost them thousands and thousands of dollars. - Mr. Banckor was for many years asso- ciated with the late Gen. Rufua Welch, cither as a partner or in some business capacity, and was highly esteemed by that excellent man. He was with the general when he hsd a concern In Europe, and we believe Invested some money In, that enterprise, which did not prove a pecuniary success. He was a first- class advertiser, e. position for which his gen- ial manner and gentlemanly nddrcBs pecu- liarly fitted Mm, and In that capacity was widely and most favorably known throughout the United States. It is several years, however, since he gave up all connection with the circus business, and for some time previous to his death he was In quite feeble health. A eotenyporary states that he was In "destitute circum- stances." This Is as error, calculated to give pain to his friends. Although ho bed met with losses In his later years, he wna surrounded, up to the time of his decease, with every comfort that could be desired, and was tbe recipient of every attention that could be bestowed upon him. His memory will be tenderly cherished by a host of sur- viving friends. W. F. Wallett. and the circus season, closed at the American, Philadelphia, on Feb. 24.

This week "The Playboy of the Western World" and "Tho .Tailgate" are being presented. When Cohan A Harris take over the theatre, "Officer 666" will be the opening attraction. American Music Hall (George Jordan, mgr.)—"The Roso of Panama." from all in- dications, Is a hit. Annetto Kellerinnnn has been added to the cast and will offer some of her diving and swimming specialties.

Eva Tanguay was in next to closing position, and made her usual "knockout" hit with her singing, which has been reviewed many times. The Kltomiira Japs proved to be a very good closing act for those that chose to sit it out. Bill week of 26 includes: Irene Franklin and Burt Green, Wrn.

Tbe frontal nnd tem- ?oral bones were three-quarters of an inch In blckness, and they presented the appearance of a honeycomb. Tho doctor accounted for the disease and peculiar structure of the bones, by an operation which be performed upon the right aide of the head. Borne four months ago the deceased was stricken down, and has never risen from his bed since. Every few days be would be subjected to convulsions, which gradually Increased In frequency and severity until the day of his death, at which time tbey may be said to ibave become almost continuous, one scarcely passing off before another would appear.

Wilson's Circus Company reported lost,— It was rumored in San Francisco,'on Feb. 0, that the schooner Alice, which sailed from that port somo months ago, with Wilson's Circus Troupe, for a voyage to the Pacific islands and Australia, had been wrecked and all on board lost. Tbe rumor comes from Victoria, V. I., by telegraph, and was brought to that city by tno captain of a vessel which arrived there from Tahiti. Tho report savs that tho Allen was wrecked while going from Tahiti, Society Islands, to the Friendly Islands, which aro on tho routo to Australia. and that, being caught In a terrific storm, tho vessel was finally driven ashore, and all on board drowned. Amongst those who were on board tho Alice wero John Wilson, Jainos Cooke, the Jester; Mile. Ella Zoyara (Mrs. Omar KlDgslcy), William Ross, George Carlo, Tommy Peel, Young Lcroy, Olma, Fanny Brown, and other performers whoso names wc have not received. The rumor Is a painful one, and we hnve reason to doubt Its authenticity, but we give the rumor tor all It is worth. The Inst direct news from Wilson was when he sailed from Honolulu for Tahiti, after a prosperous sea- son at tho Sandwich Islands. This was soma three and a half months ago, and be has had ample time to complete his season In tbe So- ciety group, and proceed on his voyage. «',! Derby, Gary, Ind.

Both companies played there one week, opposite each other. Now, I contradict this, for I am thoroughly acquainted with the receipts of each company.
