'AMUSEMENTS.;
The Heart of Chicago. .
It would be hard to get-more-scenery
in a single production than is employed
in staging “The Heart of Chicago,”
Lincoln J. Carter’s newest play. The
Philadelphia Ledger of Nov. 10th said,
“Enough scenery is used in its produc-
tion to amply stock half a dozen melo-
dramas.” Among, the scenes promised
are’ the Chicago Fire scenes, showing a
section of Chicago, before, during and
after the fire, Masonic Temple Roof
Garden, the big panoramic view of the
South Side at night, the VVorld’s Fair
Court of Honor during a night illumin-
ation, the Columbus fountain, the typi-
cal Chicago street scene and the fa-
mous approaching train scene. To be
presented at Hoyt’s Theatre, Monday,
January 17. --
The Tarrvtown Widow.
.The Tarrytown Widow, which will
appear at Hoyt’s Theatre, Thursday
Jan. 13, is a roaring farce, breezy and
racy and compelling laughter incessan t-
ly throughout four acts. Mr. Thayer
. who has always been such a favorite
fun-miker inthis city, carries the lead-
ing part with joyous jest and' at such
a lively gait as to keep the audience in
roars of laughter. The Tarrytown
Widow is full of good things and fur-
nishes one of the merriest entertain-
ments given here in along while. The
songs are new and up-to-date, and musm
bright and catchy.
The French Maid.
With her 150th birthday now in plain
sight at the Herald Square Theatre,
“The French Maid” grows sprightlier
and more captivating as she grows old-
er. In fact, unlike most “maids” she
is not the least bit ashamed to tell her
age. On the contrary the 3older She
gets the better she is pleased and the
more the public seems to be smitten
with her. charms. “Ed Rice’s master-
hand has smoothed out the kinks that
originally existed in his new ballet, the
Carnival Quadrille, which introduces
the second act, and it now moves with
a smoothness and swing that fairly cap-
tures the large audiences that nightly
throng the “Maid’s” comfortable home.
It is what is known as a “double-face”
ballet, the eight pretty girls who dance
in it being arrayed as the giddiest of
boy’s in front and»;as the demurest of
Quakeresses behind. The J anus-like
illusion is neatly affected while the
boys’ costumes are sensational to a de-
gree. The series of Palmer Cox’s
Brownie Books given away at each of
the Wednesday and Saturday matinees
to ladies and children last three weeks

Spl-IEllSED THE COCKTAIL.
Supposed . it Was Perfumery—A Story
from Norbl'on Hill. .
A young man of Nofioton Hill is re-
lating an amusing incident, which oc.
curred a few nights ago, and which has
since broken up the serenity of his
hitherto unmarred married life. About
Christmas time the young man received
at one of the saloons a Manhattan cock-
tail, in a small fancy bottle.“ Doubting
the ingredients of the cocktail, he
carried it about for several days,finally
leaving it at hOme, still untouched. A.
few nights since, during his absence
from home, somewcompany called unex-
pectedly. While making ahasty toilet,
his wife found the fancy bottle. She
concluded that it was a present for her
and, removing the cork, was delighted
with the perfume. After using almost
the entire contents of the bottle she
went down stairs to receive her guests.
Her husband arrived later, and the not
unfamiliar 'od‘or which pervaded the
house tickled his nostrils and caused
him to ask questions of his wife. Then
it came out that she had used his cock-
tail for perfume, and there was a hot
time in the old house that night.—

'An eccentric Londoner,
Webb, has completed a machine for
micrOscopic writing. He asserts that
with it he can write the entire contents
of the Bible four times in a space one
inch square. He' has succeeded in
writing the Lord’s Prayer on glass in
a space one hundredth of an inch wide
by one-fiftieth of an inch long, or
about the size of the “period” at the
end of this sentence.

to break all records for minute pen-

anical aid was necessary and devised.
a contrivance which diminished the i
scope without altering the character 01 '
the movements of the pen. The re-
sult is a marvel of mechanical skill.
} The machine is operated by a handle :
resembling a pen, which is held in the
hand and used as any ordinary pen.
The motion given to the handle is
.transmited through numerous wheels
and levers until it operates the writing

Arabian horses manifest remarkable
