Six Thousand Street Urchins Swarm Into • Metropolitan Playhouse and Make Away with Everything Portable Within Beach—A Pandemonium. Fully 6,000 shouting, screaming, chattering, cheering youngsters attended tht performance of “The Scont” given foi poor children at Niblo’s, and outdid the Indians as regards noise and drowned the reports of the pistols with their enthusiastic yells. Such an audience has never before been inside the walls of a playhouse. There wereboys there with dirty faces, and boys whose natural color did net give one an opportunity to see if they were dirty or not. Little girls were there, too, some white and a few black, and they took as much delight in the performance and made as much noise as the boys. The doors of the theater were besieged as early as 7:80 o’clock, and by 8:30 there was a tremendous jam about the Broadway and Crosby street entrances. Once the doors were opened there was no use trying to collect tickets. The boys simply swept everything before them. In an incredibly short time every seat contained at least two occupants, and eveiy available place from which the stage could l peen was occupied. The boys hang on the posts like monkeys, occupied the stairs, stood on the radiators, and if it wasn’t for the ten big policemen who were there to preserve order there is no knowing what they would have done. The youngsters talked to each other from all parts of the house. “Hay, Yaller!” shouted one urchin across the galbry. “Did you see me brudder?” “Naw,” came the answer. “Hully Mol” shouted back the first speaker, “me mudder will slaughter me." “Hi. Red,” shouted another youngster, “where’s Mike?” “Oh, he's down in the parkay eating oats,” came the answer. It was 10 o’clock when Congressman Timothy J. Campbell came before the curtain and addressed the boys. At least he tried to tell the boys to be good citizens, but they heard him not, and he concluded in pantomime. One little girl wearing a big red hat occupied a ' air all by herself in the orchestra. “Take 6ff your hat, Mag!” shouted the little one behind her, but she paid no attention, and in an instant that hat was sailing down the aisle. When she got it back it was in ribbons, And to quiet her cries a policeman lifted her into a box, where she spent most of her time sticking her tongue out at the other girls. How the boys cheered when the curtain went up! They applauded Dr. Carver like mad, and when he threw the villain in the big tank they yelled spuriously. The comic Irishman and the darky pleased them immensely, and they marveled at Dr. Carver’s aim when he broke all the bottles in the saloon with rifle balls. The actors soon discovered that it was useless to talk, as they couldn’t be beard, and thejr went on a great part of the time in pantomime. No villain was ever more heartily disliked than Cherokee Jake, played by Mr. Sonunerfield. One boy in the gallery 'threw a half eaten apple at him, and an Indian picked it up and finished it. In the fourth act cries came from all parts of the house to throw Jake into the river. There was tumultuous applause when the horse fell through the bridge, and there was more when the play was over. It took just seven minutes for the house to empty, and it seemed a miracle that no one was hurt. Had one boy stumbled while coining down the gallery staircase the result would have been appalling. After the house was emptied Manager Comstock went in and viewed the wreck. Every other row had a broken seat, and in one place an entire row was demolished. The urchins broke open the opera glass machines and carted off the glasses, and in some cases took the machines andaU. “Well,” said Mr. Comstock, “they, bad a good time, and I don’t care as long as they left the four walls and didn’t get hurt”—New York Herald.

Advantages of Seasickness. Nothing can be much more depressing than seasickness, and for this reason we should strongly advise all weak persons not to encounter if possible the risk ef its occurrence. It is astonishing how soon and how completely those who are favored with a fair measure of constitutional elasticity recover from its depression. In their case the benefits of a sea trip may thus, with compensations of j sir, diet and appetite, be enhanced by a few hours of mechanical nausea. It is in truth for snch persons only that tours j of this kind are advisable.—London Lancet. % __ Famous Rabies.

A NEW ENGLAND MIRACLE A Bailroad^Engjneer Relates His Experience. The Wonderful Story Told -by; Fred C. To«e and His Mother-in-law to a Reporter of the Boston Herald Both areJBestored After Yours of Agony (Boston JJfuss., Herald,) The vast health-giving results already attributed bv the newspapers throughout this country and Canada to Dr. Williams' Fink Fills for Pale People uave been recently supplemented by the wonderful cures wrought in the cases of two confirmed invalids in one household in a new England town. The radical improvement in the physical condition of these two people from the use of this great medicine is vouched for, not only by tbe eager testimony of the patients themselves, gladly given for the benefit of other sufferers, but also by the indlibtiahle assurances of disinterested relatives and friends who had been cognizant of theyears of pain and distress endured by the two invalids, and who now witness their restoration to health, vigor aud capacity. 'Ifce names of these people, the latest to testify from their Own experience to the marvelous restorative, tonic aud healing qualities ofl)r Williams’ Fink Pills are Fred C. Vose and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Oliver O Holt, of Peterboro. inembecs of the same household, which is composed of Mr and Mrs Holt, and Mr. and Mrs Vose, the latter a daughter of the Holts. The home occupied by the family is a cost and neat looking two storied house, situated on the top of a hill and surrounded by many ot]the natural attractions of a residence in the country. Mr. Holt is employed in the Crowell shoe manulaetory ol Peterboro. and Mr Vose has for many years run the engine on the Fitchburg railroad trains between Winehendon and Peterboro. Before entering upon an account ot the long illness of Mr. Vose and bis mother-in-law, which shall be given in ‘their own words as taken by a reporter of the Boston Herald it will be well to give the exact reason tor the coming together under one roof of the two families, as this fact has everything to do with the manner in which Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills first came to the notice of Mr. Vo6e and the reason of their introduction into the family as a medical remedy Mr. Yose’s wife had been in failing health for a number of years, her illness finally developing into brain trouble, accompanied by intermittent paralysis of the tongue and lower limbs. Death had taken all her children, and the heavy affliction increased her bodily aud mental infirmities to such an extent tnai her husband, himself an invalid, was compelled to take some means toward securing for her complete rest and freedom1 from all honsebold care. To this end he gave up housekeeping, and took his wife to her parents’ borne, where her mother might care’for her in her ailments. Mrs. Holt w as herself suffering from various complaints brought on by complete nervous prostration several years ago, but her daughter's severer and more hopeless condition was the more urgent and life more appealing ease of the two. and so Mrs. Holt for several years has tried to forget her own disabilities'iu tondetly ministering to her stricken daughter. In February last Mr. Vose was reading tbe weekly paiier, when his attention was attracted by tbe account of a case of paralysis cured by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. The similarity of the case described to that of his wife at once aroused the deep interest of Mr. Vose. and ho called his mother-in-law’s attention to the published article. After long consultation they decided to send for the pill. The benfieml effect they had upon Mrs. Vose was marked. From being unable to stand she was so materially strengthened that she could walk without difficulty, ami in other respects her condition was much improved. The beneficient results noticed In Mrs. Vose’s condition from a trial of the pills caused both her husband aud mother to consider trying them lor their own complaints. They tried them on the prtncip e that “if they don’t cure they can’t hurt.” but before each had finished their first box they had feit such relief that they came to believe that the pills not o'nly could not hurt, but were actually and speedUy curing them.

me uciAiu moo investigate his’remarkable cure, Mr. Vose gave a detailed account ot his long illness and subsequent recovery, tie begun his narrative by saying: “1 am not anxious to get into the papers in this or any other connection, but, as I wrote the i»r. Williams’ Medicine Co. 1 have felt such happy results from the taking ol Pink Pills that L am willing, if my experience will help any one else, to state how they benefited me. I am 87 years old. and 15 years ol this time I have spent in railroading for the Fitchburg railroad on the Winchendon and Peterboro branch For the past three years I have been engineer of the train which connects with the Boston trains at Winchendon. I have been troubled wih a weak stomach from boyhood. In fact, there never was a time in my remembrance when I was not more or less troubled from that source Seven years ago, however, the complaint became greatly aggravated from the nature of mv work and other causes, and I suffered greatly from it My qfomach would not retain food, my head ached constantly, there was a dimness, or blur, before my eyes most of the time, and my head used to become so dizzy I could scarcely stand. On getting up in th.e morning my head swam 60 I was frequently obliged to lie down again. 1 had a most disagreeable heartburn. a continuous belching of gas from the stomach, a nasty coating of the mouth and tongue, and my breath was most offensive. 1 consulted physicians in Peterboro, and took tbeir medicines for two years, but was helped so slightly by them that at the end ef that time 1 gave up in discouragement, and let the disease take care of itself for a long time. I grew worse as time went on. 1 havelbeen obliged to give up work many a time for a week or two, and have worked at other times when I ought to have been at home in bed. I bave lost many months during the past seven years and would have lost more only for the fact that I stuck it out aud would not give up until l had to. My appetite then failed me, and about four years ago 11 began to notice a fluttering of my heart, which grew so bad after a while that I could not walk any distance without a violent palpitation and complete loss of breath. The pains in my stomach, from indigestion lasted two and three days at a time. T lost considerable flesh, and before long I noticed that my kidneys were affected. This came from my w4rk on the engine. I know, as many railroad men are troubled in the same way. I had awful pains in the small of my back, and was obliged to make water many times during the day. I resolved to go back to the doctors again, though their treatment had done me no good before. I was told that medicine was no good for me, that what I needed was a long rest. I oonld not take to£ long a vacation, being compelled u>

work for my living, and so I went on taking what stuff the doctors prescribed, but feeling uo better, except fora day or two at time. Finally my legs and hands began to ache and |swe!l with rheumatic pains, and 1 found I couldn’t sleep at night. II I lay down my heart would go pit-a-pat at a great rate, and many nights I did not close my eves at all. I was broken down in hody and discourI aged in spirit, when, sometime in February last 1 was reading in the Montreal Family i Herald and Weekly eftar, which we take every week, of the great cures made by Dr. Williams's Pink Pills for Pale People. 1 got a couple of boxes for my wife to see If she would be helped any by them, and then 1 tried them myself. I did not put much confidence in them at first, but betore I had finished the first box I noticed Chat I was feeling better. The palpitation’of my heart, ! which had bothered me so thut I couldn't breathe at times, began to improve I saw tnat in going to my home on the hill from the depot,*which was previously an awtul task, my heart did not beat so violently and I had more breath when I reached the Louse. After the second and third boxes I grew better iu every other respect. My stomach became stronger, the gas belching was not so bad, and my sleep became nearly natural and undisturbed. I h«%ve continued taking the pills three times a day ever since last March, and today I am feeling better than at any time during the last eight years. I can confidently and conscientiously say that they have done me more good, and their good effects are more permanent, than any medicine I have euer taken. My rheumatic pains in legs and hands are all gone. The Kains in the small of my back, which were so ad at times that I couldn't stand up straight have nearly all vanished and I find my kidneys are well regulated by them. This is an effect not claimed for the pilFs in the circular, but in my case they brought it about. 1 can now go up any hill without the slightest distress or palpitation or loss of breath and am feeling 100 per cent, better in every shape and manner. . They have been a saving of money to me, for since I begun their use I have not been obliged to lose much time away from work 1 am stillJtaking the pills, and mean to continue them until I am certain my cure is a thorough and lasting one." After talking with Mr. Vose at the depot, where his engine w’as In waiting, the reporter went to the house where Mrs. Holt, the othir patient for whom the pills have done so much received him aud gave an extended account of her experience with them. Mrs. Holt said: -T “1 am 57 years old, and for 14 years past I have had an intermittent heart trouble. Three years ago I had nervous prostration, which left me with a number ol ailments, for which 1 have been doctoring unsuccessfully ever since. My heart trouble was increased so badly by the nervous prostration that I had to lie down most of the time. My stomaeh also gave out, and I had continual and ic - tense pain from the back of my neck to the eud of my backbone I went to physicians in Jeffrey, Newport, Alsted, Acton and here in Peterboro, but my health continued s«> miserable that i gave up doctors in despair and lost faith in medicine altogether. I began to take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills last winter, more from curiosity tban because L-be-lieved they could help me, but the first box »nade me feel ever so much better. I have t.ken the pills since February last and they nave made me feel like a new woman The terrible pains iu my spinal column in the region or my liver are gone, and I believe for good. My palpitation has only troubled me three times since I commenced using the pills and my stomach now performs its functions without giving me the great distress which formerly followed everything I • ate. The pills have acted differently from any medicine I ever took in my life. I have tried everything—doctor’s medicine, patent medicines, sarsapari Has, and homoeopathic doses. I i 14 weeks three years ago I snent $300 for doctor’s bills and medicines, anu since then h^ve put out as much money, but the relief 1 obtained, if any. was ouly temporary. With these pills, however. the effects| are different. They are not cathartic like other pills i have taken, but seem to act directly epon the stomach and liver without any loosening of the bowels My sleep, too h*is wonderfully improved since I began their use. For a long time before I took these pills 1 lost sleep night after night with ray heart and pains in my back. My improvement in health is a source of remark on the part of those who have known how sick I was. My husband, who didn't know i was taking the pills, is delighted at the noticeable betterment in my health and upon learning the cause of it urged me to continue the use of the pills. This impulse, however, is not necessary, as 1 have been too sick in the past not to fully appreciate the value of a remedv that has done me so mnch good. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are certainly a great medicine, and from my experience with them I can cheerfully jane cordially recommend their, to any one 'who is troubled with heart i-aipitation, indigetion, liver complaint, and the many ills consequent upon nervous prostratten." Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills are not a patent in the sense in which the term is understood,, but are a scientific preparation, successfully used in general practice for many years before being offered to the public generally.
