THE HELEN LODER JONES, WHO DANCED ALL HER LIFE, DIED OF “ATHLETIC HEART.” CERMAN DIALECT ~ OLDEN SPEECH “Fiddle-dee-dee,” Weberfields’s Show at Grand Opera-House, Even Without Many Original Stars, Draws Crowds.

No one knows this better than Weber & Fields. They not only reap a rich harvest from pree- ent difficulties with the English Ian- guage, but they keep on faftening their Wallets with royalties from companies playing pteces which have long since gone ito the scrap-book of Broadway's memory. One of these more than self-eustainins aggregations ts serving a warmed-over Weber & Fields dish in Highth avenue this week. “Biddle-Dee-Dee" is singing a song of Prosperity at the Grand Opera-House to the accompaniment of quite as much laughter as is heard in the Broadway music hall. Eighth avenue seems very well satisfied with substitutes, and where ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to spend two dollars, It would be more than odious to make comparisons in such a case. Charles O. Rice and Fred Cody are not Weber & Fields, to be sure. But that's not their fault, and re probatiy as sorry |bout {t as we were last night.

NO ORGANIC AFFECTION. Had Danced Since She Was Five Yeare Old and Had Tightened the Heart Muscles, the Doctor Said, (Spectal to The Evening World.) NBWARK, N. J., Feb. 25.—"Athletic heart" is ascribed as the cause of death of Miss Helen Laden Jones, a young and beautiful dancer, woh Iwill be buried to-morrow from the home of her ¢riend, Mrs. Henry Huey, at No. 3 Eighth ave- nue. Miss Jones came to Newark a few days ago from her home, at No, #88 West Forty-fourth street, New York. She was suffering from an affection of the heart and Dr. Kent, when he made an examination, said thet through over-ex- ertion she had tightened the muscles a bout the organ. This weakened the heart and produced a state bordering on collapse. It was thought that wtth a ¢ew days’ absolute quiet and rest the physician would be able to cure her, for there waa no positive organio trouble apparent. ‘Miss Jones was apparently slowly re- covering on Monday, but in the after- noon about 2 o'clock she suddenly dled. She was twenty years old and was born in New York. She gained a wide reputation in this country and in Bu- rope with Kiaw & Brlanger's ‘Beauty and the Beast," and was to have been engaged in “Blue Beard.” dhe has been a dancer smoe she was five years old.

An usher removed the mouse and the lady was getting ready to faint, when the curtain went up end she concluded she would rather see the play. eo. Eleanor Falk Improved. ..

They must stand the censure which properly be- longs to the maker of the garments.

Times innumerable have we returned them to a maker for some trifling defect which perhaps none but a practised eye could detect. Our standard excluded it. Thus,no matter how low the price may be, every garment offered you assures full service. DRESSES FOR CHILDREN One to Four Years.
