hands with many friends at the Grand hotel yesterday. He expects to leave soon to join the thirty-eighth-regiment to which be has been appointed as a captain of volunteers. The regiment will be recruited for the Philippine service at Jefferson b&rracke, Missouri. "I am going to tell the colonel," •aid the captain, "that I have enlisted for as long a time as there is fighting to do and no longer. I shall resign aB soon as the fighting is over if that is a week after I join the regiment. It may be that the war in the Philippines will be over before the regiment starts and in that event I shall be disappointed as I have made all the necessary preparations for a campaign and a brush in theJPhillipineB is the last fighting I expect to do. I believe that after that I could settle down to domestic affairs. I am satisfied that the war over there will end within three months after the beginning of the new year at the longest." "Will you remain in the race for tbe democratic congressional nomination in the ninth district?" "I have left that matter entirely in the hands of my friends. I shall certainly abide by their decision, whatever that may be."

At Music Hall.

Lafayette Daily Journal: Rentfrow's "Jolly Pathfinders" come to the Grand Opera HOUBC, Sept 4th, one week from this evening, and in the six nights of the week will present six different attractions and a Saturday matine&, each play having the merit of originality. Those in attendance will not see and hear a performance that has become stale to them on account of the frequency of the presentation, as every production ia the private property of Mr. Rentfrow. The company has a numerical strength that gives each member an individuality unlike the repertoire companies that blend several delineations in one actor or actress. Of course the RentCrow's have two or three celebrities—two or ihree to whom are assigned the characters of most interest and most difficult of portrayal. It is so in every department that gives occupation and employment. But the comparative uniformity of "The Jolly Pathfinders" is a household utterance wherever they have filled a week's booking. They have the capacity within themselves to give a continuous show, and do so wherever it is manifest that this iB the preference of the audience. They come to Lafayette "well haled" in every particular. They come "fully armed and equipped," determined to conquor, to effectually subdue that portion of the population of Lafayette that is not absolutely impervious to puncture. The playa are peculiarly their own—the company haa strong musical showing—the vaudeville features are unsurpassed—their brasa band for parades and other oatdoor demonstration! in ita incomparable excellence li way up in "G" and the up-to-date orcheatra is "out of sight"—none can anrpaaa it, go where you may. With all thia array, thia discipline and drill, their coming must eventuate in their victory.
