Amusements. The Juvenile population of this city will have an opportunity of witnessing their favorite story "Alice in Wonderland" set to mu sic at opera house Saturday evening Dee. 26. The operetta will bo produced with u grand juvenile cast ' composed of one hundred and fifty local boys and girls. All the hobgoblins, fairies, godmothers,elfs and funny animals.so doin' to children s hearts, will be seen talking.dancing and acting precisely as they do in the book story. Special features will be produced, among which be ing the Grand Fairy Prologue and ballet of Nations, the Japanese Dance. Lobster Quadrille, etc. The piece will be given with all gorj geousness that characterized its New York production, beautiful costumes, scenic and light effects, etc. The receipts go to the Ladies Aid Society of the Christian church. On Wednesday, Dec. 30, the stage of the Bosse opera house will lie devoted to the presentation of I he pop ular and hghly successful play "Human Hearts,” with a company of superior excellence and strength. Mr. Reid the author of the play, is

an actor of wide experience and ? fully understands the art of play- [ making from the standpoint of both tin spectator and the actor. His effects are produced quickly ’ but none the less does he hold po- • tent sway over the passions of his auditors. The play is almost too too well known to require more than'a passing word upon the plot. I The main thread of the story centers around Tom Logan, who is unjustly accused of murder, and sent eneed to life imprisonment. His wife Jeannette, who is a proud ambitious woman, runs away with an I I old lover, and goes to New York. I Even in a woman degraded as she ' is. the instinct of motherhood prompts her to return to the old home to try to gain possession of her child Grace, fShe is frustrated in her design, and new evidence being submitteil to the Governor of ! the State, he pardons Tom out of jail. Jeannette dies, her paramour is arrested for the murder of Tom s father, and Tom marries Ruth i L irkins. and the clouds of ad versify ' are dispelled by the sweet sunshire of a true woman's love.
