This picture is taken on a crowded street of 'a great city, and affords a line perspective" view of alo'ng broad avenue. Crowds of people are passing', and in the thick of the throng is seen an apparently legless beggar, propelling himself across the sidewalk with his small hand-crutches. His companion is a genuine cripple, a poor little street arab'whose legs are very short indeed. The fake cripple has a sign around his neck "Help the Blini," and his eyes stare fortira mute, glassy appeal. Kindly passers-by drop an occasional coin in his hat. One coin drops on the sidewalk, and the blind man calmly looks around and reaches for it. At this moment a cop who has been watching him closely, steps up and lays hold of his arm. The fakir sees he is found out and jumps to his feet, disclosing the fact that he has good sound legs deceitfully doubled up under him. After a lively foot race down the street, the policeman catches him and the crowd follows to see the finish. SHOOTING CAPTURED INSURGENTS. A file of Spanish soldiers approaches, guarding some Cuban prisoners, hatless and shoeless. Officer commands "Halt." They place their miserable victims face toward a blank wall and step back four or five paces. The Spanish officer, resplendent in gold lace and buttons, raises his sword. One can imagine his commands by his gestures. "Aim!" '"Fire!" and four poor fellows have joined the' ranks of martyrs for the cause of Cuba Libre. Their death struggles are painful to witness. One of them dies hard, so the officer helps him into the next world with his sword. CUBAN AMBUSH. Concealed in the upper story of a ruined building on a sugar plantation is a party of Cubans, lying in wait for their hated enemy. A scouting party of Spaniards appears through the thick underbrush, led by an officer. They suspect the presence of an enemy, but evidently not concealed above thenheads: for not until the Cubans pour forth a sudden volley are ihe Spaniards conscious that they are ambushed. One falls, the others drop on knee and fire at random at the upper windows. It is noticeable that the brave Spanish lieutenant moves rapidly close in to the wall, out of range. There is no further shooting, however, as the lifeless forms of the Cubans are still, excepting one, who in his terror jumps from the window, a sheer twenty-foot drop, right into danger instead of outot it. He is quickly dispatched by a shot from one of the Spaniards, aided by a sword thrust by the brave officer. MERRY GO ROUND. This picture was taken at a German picnic ground ; and is so lifelike that one almost hears the organ that goes with every merry-go-round, grinding out its ear splitting tunes Flags and lanterns decorate the structure. The children ride around gaily, astride of lions, zebras, camels, elephants, horses, elks and other strange and wonderful animals. FARMER KISSING "THE LEAN GAL." Mr. and Mrs. Byron Spaun excel in their "Farmer and Lean Gal" specialty. He looks every bit of an old hayseed, and she certainly lives up to her name. The old chap is in a museum, and has taken a fancy to the thin "freak." In a secluded corner he proposes to kiss her. She objects— a little — but finally consents. The kiss is of the gimlet order. It is as if his lips were an augur, and he boring for maple sugar sap in the spring time. It's such a rotary brace-and-bit sort of a kiss that it brings down the house every time. COMEDY SET-TO. By Billy Ourtis and Miss Belle Gordon. Belle is as frisky as she is clever. Her jaunty costume combined witn the grace and ease of her leads and blows make the bout very interesting. THE BURGLAR. Here's one of those bold day-light robbers you read about. He cracks a safe only to find that it's used as a coal-bin. Is greatly disgusted. A STREET ARAB. Shows a New York street gamin doing stunts. He turn.? handsprings, walks the crab and spins around on his head like a top. SNOW STORM. A very unusual scene, taken during a driving snow storm. Carriages and pedestrians pass by. The falling flakes are distinctly visible. THE TELEPHONE. A capital illustration of the value of this modern invention. A glass of beer comes over the wire to the man who is telephoning. SEE-SAW SCENE. A practical joker, with a pail of water, and two boys on a see-saw. make this picture a very funny one for all except the boy that gets wet. THE BALL GAME. Man at the bat cracks the. first ball pitched for a two-bagger, and races for first. Man on the bag just misses a put out. Very exciting. PARADE OF BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST SHOW. First comes the gilt coach, drawn by eight horses. Then Buffalo Bill and his famous RoughRiders of the World. Crowds of people watching. *PARAD E OF BUFFALO LILL'S WILD WEST SHOw. Same parade, butshowsthe whole procession. Mounted cavalry, Indians, Aral's, Cossacks. Turks, Abvsinnians and hosts of strange riders. Full of spirited interest and action. HONOLULA STREET SCENE. An interesting picture in the. chief city of the Sandwich Islands, now apart of the United States of America. WHARF SCENE, HONOLULU. The "Doric" is just leaving, homeward bound. Crowds stand on the pier, waving their good-byes, The steamer's propeJIor makes fine water effects, The following list of new records has been compiled from lists sent us by the leading talking machine companies of the United States Apdante from DeBeriot's 7th Conserto [Violin Solo!
