JUST LIKE HOT CAKES

THAT IS THE WAY THfi I. M. C. A. LECTURE TICKETS ARE GOING.

As Man? Are Already Sold as Were Disposed of Altogether Laic Season— -*,--* A Packed House.

,"}!« 'jir-vA,

ffeiClearly the people ot Terre Haute know gcod thing when they see It. [Xt .•U-"* ps^ Eleven hundred Y.-M. C. A." lecture course tickets are already out, whereas a year ngo only 1,000 were sold altogether. The members of the association are selling the tickets* very rapidly and it is thought that by November 5th the new opera house will have been entirely sold. It ia evident, therefore, that those people who expect to witness the wonderfully cheap attractions provided by the Y. M. C. A. for this season will do well to secure their seats at once.

November 5th 600 reserved seats will be placed on sale at Buntin's drug etore. The remaining 300 reserved seats will be held back and placed on sale four days before each lecture or entertainment. The season general admission ticket costs $1.50, or 15 cents for each attraction. This does not include reserved seats, as is distinctly stated on the back of the association's announcement book. If one wants a reserved seat he must pay $1 or $1.50 for it for the course, or 10 or 15 ceilts, according to location, for a single performance. The single admission' to one not holding a season ticket is 50 cetttfi and 75 cents for reserved seat.

The choice seats in. the parquette bring the higher price mentioned above. That is to say, they are the $1.50 seats for the course, exclusive of the admission price. It will be seen that a seat in the parquette for all the attractions will cost Its holder $3 $1.50 for a season ticket and $1.50 for his reserve. A seat elsewhere on the first floor or in the balcony will cost its holder $2.50 for the course—$1.50 for a season ticket and $1 for the reserve. The holder of a season ticket can buy reserves preceding each entertainment if he desires to do so and itf that event they will cost him 10 or 15 cents each, according to location.

It would seem that the public ought to be able to understand this matter. It is stated with apparent clearness on the back of the announcement book, as above pointed out, but many persons have become confused oyer the question and have been set to wondering how the association happens to bo offering a series of ten high-class attractions for $1.50, that amount including reserved seats. Of course that amount does rot include reserved seats. The fact remains, however, that one can get into the theater and secure a seat easily within seeing and hearing distance of everything that takes place on the stage for only $1.50 for the course.

Major General John B. Gordon is scheduled to appear here February 17th in his lecture, "Laet Days of the Confederacy." It has been reported that General Gordon was unable to fill his engagements and had cancelled them but Secretary Jamison has not received word from the bureau that such is the case. In the event of Gordon's failure to come to this city his place on the programme probably will be taken by either Bishop Fowler or Russell H. Con well. These two men were under consideration at the time it was decided to engage the general.

HARRISION* PARK CASINO.

Tonight the Edwin Travers Co.'s "A Jolly Night" and "Forget-Me-Nots." The Edwin Travers comefly company, which made such a popular hit at the Casino a few weeks ago, returns to the Casino tonight and will present the comedy success, "A Jolly

Night." The play is one of the cleverest farce comedies before the public, and the organization presenting it here is as strong as any on the road. Edwin Travers, who is best remembered as Captain Redwood, tne detective, in A. M. Palmer's "Jim the Penman" company, and Douglas Cattertnole. in "The Private Secretary,'' heads an exceptionally strong cast of comedians, among whom are F. K. "Wallace, R. Germain, Dean Raymond, Chas. Barring ton, Master George Morrison and Misses Maud Cooling, Norma Hyatt and Alice Borrington. "Forget-Me-Nots," a pretty story of pathetic interest, will be presented as a prelude to the comedy, and during the evening many new and novel musical numbers will be introduced. Prices—16c, 25c, 35c and 50c.

"Humanity." which will be seen at the Casino next Friday and Saturday nights, is of the higher brder of cenlo dram-as. It is a flrst-clgss production and attraction in every way. The company that will present it is an excellent one, every actor having been ser lected with ab eye to

MB

&

or her fitness for the

parts intrusted to them. The scenic and mechanic portion of the production is mos: elaborate and the highest art nf the stage mechanic has been employed to make this as sear ptrfect as Is possible. An entertainment thoroughly artistic and elaborately produced will bt given and the public will undoubtedly show its appreciation.

Prices have been reduced to 15c, 25c, 50c and 75c, and sale of seats ylll begin at Buntin's Wednesday.

The broadsword combat on horseback is one of the most exciting scenes ever produced in any play.

"PEDLAR" PALMER WON.

The Bantam Weight Champion of England Defentee Dave Snllivau of Boston. London, Oct. 18.—"Pedlar" Palmer, the ban-tam-weight champion of England, and Dave Sullivan, of Boston, met this evening at the National Sporting club at 110 pounds, to compete for the bantam championship if the world, a purse of $3,500 and a side bet of $1,000.

The contest was won by Palmer in twenty rounds. The men entered the ring at 9 o'clock. Th« club room was crowded. There was a half pound difference in weight in favor of Sullivan, but the betting was 2 to 1 in favor of the Englishman. Both appeared perfectly trained. In the fifth Palmer just misseG an upper cut, which might have settled matters. He had the better of tbe exchanges from th» beginning, but Sullivan made a plucky flgbt •throughout. In the ninth and tenth rounds Sullivan forced the fighting and really had the better of it, until the last half minute of the tenth, when Palmer steadied him with, a couple if fine punches in the face. In the following rounds Sullivan was clever and strong. Out unable to make headway against th* little Englishman's superior skill. In the eighteenth Sullivan tried all he knew to bring off a knock out blow, but failed. In the nineteenth round the American reached' the face and htad. but received severe punishment in return.

In the twentieth Sullivan again forced the fighting, but Palmer won with a lot of points. Sullivan was so much upset by his defeat that he wept, but he may be congratulated on having made Palmer exert himself more than any other man the Englishman has ever met.

Prvceling the main contest, Jerry Driscoll, champion of the English navy, beat Freeman Martin, of Nova Scotia, in six rounds, and John Hughes, of London, beat Gtorge Reynolds. of America, in three rounds.

After the contest was ascertained that Palmer had injured both hands during the eleventh round, the right being practically useless.

The "Omaha Kid" Best Lake Stevens. Rochester, X. Y.. Oct. 18.—Oscar Gar*ur, the "Omaha Kid" knocked out Luke Stevens, of Buffalo, in the sixth round at the Rienci Athletic club tonight. A left smash on the jaw at short range did the business. '•"Kid" Goulette, of this city, and Eddie Gardner, a brother of Oscar, boxed ten rounds. Xtoulette got the decision.

ARBOB DAY.. OCT. 29

WILL BE CELEBRATED WITH APPROFBI ATE HERE. -CEREMONIES

Each School Separately—Patriotic Oar November 7th—School Board's Session Last Night.

The schools of Terre Haute wtll celebrate Arbor Day on the 29th of October, a weeit from next Friday. They will celebrate Patriotic Day on the 7th of Noveirbor the date of the battle of Tippecanoe.

Arbor Day, which has become the national holiday of the public schools,will be observed with appropriate ceremony in this city. Each of the twenty buildings where the young idef of Terre Haute are taught how to shf Jwill celebrate in its own way. Som£ of the schools will have the regulation tree planting. Others will have flag raisings and still others will buy pictures to hang upon the walls of the school rooms.

Originally the proper ceremony on Arbor Day was that of tree planting. A young elm, or oak, or maple tree, or any k»nd the school should decide upon, wa-3 dragged from the forest or the nursery to sinie spot in the campus, where the scholar.: dug tbe hole, planted the tree and set the soil about its roots. Often in a large schcoi each class set up a tree of its own and was expected to care for it until its tenJr.ls had taken hold and it could shake oil the Ipro.M and proudly unfurl its green flag to the zephyrs

But bye and bye in many school yards the oft repeated ceremony left no vacant spot where a healthy tree cjuli be e*p.r:ted to flourish. The space was lull of trees set out at various occasions. So aroilicr waJT of rendering homage to Mother i-'atjre must needs devised. This often laksw the form, of entertainments, ^o wbiei patious ftid psr ents are invited. Often the children are

Patriotic Day is also a special feature of school life and is always celebrated with enthusiasm. The story of the struggles of our forefathers never fails to be interesting. The date on which the celebration is to take place is une calculated to rouse enthusiasm in this part of the state. William Henry Harrison and his fort are well kuown topics with residents of Terre Haute.

There was a great, deal of business done at the meeting of the scnool board (ast night, but little of importance. A repart was read from Professor Chamberlain, who is at work on the re-cataloguing of the public library. There are now over 13,000 volumes in this library, covering all fields of literary merit. Professor Chamberlain is engaged in reasserting these volumes and making out a new catalogue. This revision has been made necessary "by the e,re.it number of books which have been bought* !n the past year.

The pamphlets which are now in use RB a directory of the volumes in the library will be discarded and the regulation library cabinet flies and sliding cards, which are the rule in the larger libraries, will be substituted. These have been ordered and will be here in a week or two.

The Globe Printing Co. of this city has been awarded the contract for publishing the new musical circular which will be used hereafter in the public schools. This is an outline of the steps to be taken in the teaching of the rudiments of music. The teacher is thus given a better idea of the correct manner of t' music.

Twentyji I books have been ordered ory department of the High School. Dictionary holders for the superintendent's offtce and thirty chairs for the chemical department have also been put on the want page.

The Barbee Manufacturing Co. of Lafay ette will place screens in the windows of some of the districts.

The total enrollment of school children of the city for th emonih of September was 5,770.

James Robertson Case Dismissed. James Robinson, a railroad conductor, whom ohn ardesty had caused to be arrested for profanity, was discharged yesterday by reason of the withdrawal of the complaint. It is said there has been bad blood between the men for a long time. Some time ago Hardesty was "braking" for RobinBon, and was discharged. This he. charged to his chief and soon after filed complaint in the superintendent's office against him. The two met Saturday and had seme warm words.

TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, TUESDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 19, 1897

PAID THE MONEY BACK

ALTOGETHER LIKELY THAT CLAUDE BURR WILL HOT BE PROSECUTED.

Some N*w Features In the Case of the Spprty Anderson Lad—A Sensational Dlroree Suit.

Claude Burr, the alleged newspaper correspondent, who hails from Sullivan and whd passed some worthless checks recently about here, for which action he was indicted, did not mean it at all.

The parent of this wayward son has indemnified the Yigo County National Bank for the $25 Burr obtained from them. He has also paid to the bank of Brazil, similarly treated, $35. Burr, senior, it seems, is not at all surprised at this action of his son. It will be remembered that young Burr, who has spent some time in Sullivan, spent the week of the bicycle meet in Terre Haute. He gave it out that he was reporting for the Chicago papers, though an inquiry of the latter elicited a denial of the statement. He also said he was attending to the coal strike for metropolitan sheets, and he seemed to be full of business. His appearance was prepossessing and he dressed in the height of faBhion. Before he left town he gave a check to E. W. Leeds, the jeweler, for some goods. To Mr. Leeds he represented himself as about to start a jewelry store in Sullivan. He also gave a check for a board bill, and then shook the city's dust with celerity.

When the checks were pregfented and sent for payment to the bank at Anderson, they were promptly returned as being of no commercial value. Information was given to the police and the indictment followed. Burr had strangely disappeared. Word was sent to Sulivan concerning him, it Is said, though he was not arrested there for the offense. He went from this place to Brazil, where he performed the same operation, extracting $35 from an acquaintance, and the latter, upon receiving back the check, followed Burr to Sullivan and had him arrested. Burr made the loss good and was released. No word was sent to the authorities nere of his arrest. Burr came through this city on the day following his release, presumably on his way to Indianapolis, but was not recognized. Word was sent to Indianapolis to look out for him, but he was not found.

After all the efforts of the grand Jury, the prosecutor and the detectives of the cify, it is very likely that Burr will never be arrested, or at least never prosecuted on the indictment. Three citizens of Anderson andi friends of the family to which the young

asked to bring their mites and contribute! for a flag which shall be flung to the breezes*8®111 belongs, have called upon Prosecutor

when the auspicious day arrives. Sometimes a painting is bought to beautify the room.

It is likely' that ail these ways of celebrating will be followed hy different schools in the city. At the High School a meeting of some sort will take place in the large hall, though the programme has no as yet been made out

Tichmenor recently and interceded in his behalf. One was the legal adviser of the father, and another Hon. W. T. Durbin, member of the national Republican committee. Their story of how it all happened is quite the contrary of that generally believed and makes the young follow out a victim of circumstances rather a deliberate lawbreaker.

For some time, since Burr, Jr., has launched out into the world, he has been in the habit, whenever he needed cash, of making out a check on the Anderson bank, of which Burr, Sr., is a depositor. This check Claude would sign with his own nam**, and its amount would be charged to tbe father when received by the home bank. C'aude must have run unusually short about the month before his debut in Terre Haute, for when paterfamilias had his book balanced one day, evidently vexed at the amount of the checks, he remarked, in a haif-jocose way, "I guess you had better send back the next check which comes." The cashier took the remark seriously and actcl upon it. The next checks were the two checks Claude had given here, and tbey we Immediately returned. The check frqip%razil followed them closely and mut with tho same treatment.

As the indictment rendered against Burr is for obtaining money under fahe pretenses and as under these circumstances it would evidently be impossible to prove Intention to defraud, the state will have a pojr show.'ng. The prosecutor yesterday intimated that the indictment be quashed.

ELLER DIVORCE CASE.

Woman's Story of Husband's Cruelty Told to Superior Court. Rosa Eller and Hansford Eller, the principals in a divorce case, were before the Superior court yesterday. With them were their two little ehildien. The man Is about 30 and tre woman about 27, though'she looks much older.

Eller is a huckster, and lives at Macksville. He peddles vegetables In the summer and works in the mines in the wsnier. This shift of occupations he wtll make niw In a few days. His wife has often driven a wagon- for him about the streets of the city.

Mrs. Eller, a slight, weary-looking woman, paced back and forth with a baby In her arms before the bench and told her story in a listless way, as if it was too self-evidest a fact to need excitement. She said the? had been married for about six year, and that he had treated her so cruelly that she could stand it no longer. She asserted that he was in the habit of getting so drunk that she was compelled many times to drag him home. He would repay her for her devotion with "nil the oaths he could lay his tongue to." He usually, she gave the court to understand, demonstrated his affection for her he came home by chasing her around the table with a poker or a ch&ir, and causing her alarm by threatening to kill their two children. She claimed he had on several occasions pointed a revolver at her aid threatened to kill her. At other times when his mood was a little more savage, or when perhaps he had a little more corn Juice In his system, be would pursue her with a long knife.

When the woman got through, the judge called the husband up and asked if these very serious charges were true. The man admitted getting drunk and swearing. He also said he menaced her with a knife, but that she was also in the habit ot brandishing a similar weapon over his head. He said the two had alawys quarreled, but that he did not want a divorce. He was willing to care for the children.

Judge left him tinder the charge of the sheriff while a. recess was taken. He finally said that, while he was strongly inclined to give the woman a divorce and make the man pay her $3 a week out of his wages in the mines, yet he would take the matter under consideration untl". this morning.

Close of Hlgginbotham Case. The continuance of th« Higginbotfiam case will be taken up this morning in the Circuit court. Out of the five or six witnesses that have been summoned to appear, two at least will be put on the stand by th^, state in rebuttal evidence. These are Lafayette Trueblood and his wife from Middletown. Their evidence will have somewhat to k) with the attempt to prove that there was no meeting of the church in that place the night of the 30th of May. It is likely that all of the witnesses will not be examined. Trueblood, who suffered a severe attack of meningitis last week, and on whose account tbe trial was continued, has recovered ufflciently to appear.

It may be Jn the morning, and it may not be for some time, that the oase will be given over to the jury. When the evidence is closed the opening argument for the state will be male by Prosecutor Tichenor. S. R. Hamill will follow for the defense, and M. G. Hamill will make the closing speech in the prosecution. i'Y-:

Grand Jury la Session.

The grand jury for the September term, which adjourned a month ago sine die, met yesterday to complete Its work. There is enough of this, it is said, to keep the body busy for some time.

Among other cases to be considered is that of the Thompson-Oottom scandal. A nufber of persons arrested for minor offenses will be examined.

Ye-terday Mattie Kinti. the prostitute who stoU. a sum of money from the clothing of Charles Nellts, the bookkeeper of Lebanon, was up before the grand jury. Her associate in the felony, Mary Strouse, who is charged with recttvisg part of the money, was cot summoned.

She's Two Old to Rati Away. George Tighe, aged S3, and Maggie Irons. SL, were married Satnrday evening by 'Squire Brown. Tighe is a farmer living routh of the Htv anl received divorce from his former wife col* two weeks ago. The present Mrs.

Tighe was a widow and her maiden name was Conover. This may seem rather a sudden termination to Mr. Tlghe's wldowerbood, bat he claims to have been sepanfted from wife No. 1 for about sjfven years. According to his complaint, which was filed several months ago, his wife left him fir a boarder, who had proved a serpent in the garden of connubial love. Mr. Tighe asserted this boarder had Ingratiated hims41f Into the favor o( tbe housewife, who finally became infatuated with him, and eloped with him to Canada. From that time her husband had nevei beard of her. He said when procuring the license that he had chosen Mrs. Irons because he felt sure she "was too old to ran away.

COUNTY TS. COUNTY

SUIT WILL BK FILED TODAY IN CLAY COUMTY IN BEITBS MATTEK.

Is a Petition to Have the Alleged Guardian Removed for Various Reasons and Sit Soales' Appointment Ratified.

The complaint in the Reeves guardianship oase was finished last nigbt and will be filed in the Circuit court at Braill today. This will be.the beginning, it Is expected, of a Wng and fiercely tooght legal battle. The* attorneys on either side are picked from the best talent of the bars of both counties. Attorney S. R. Hamill and James Price will appear for the plaintiff, and among the several of Clay county is Judge Gc-orge A. Knight.

Casslus E. Reeves, the blind veteran who, hopelessly insane, occupies a room at the county poor farm, is the innocent causo of this controversy between Vigo anl Clay counties. Reeves was in his prime at the time of the civil war and did valiant service for the stars and stripes. He served from the beginning to the end of the great struggle, and sustained much suffering- and more than one serious wound. When the war ended there was but the wreck of the man who had enlisted. had just as truly laid lown his life on tbe battle field as many another poor fellow who was shot to death and buried far from home. He lived, it is true, but his mind was gone. This affliction came upon the veteran as gradually as his sight faded, but It was not many years after peace had been declared when he became a burden to his relatives.

For many years Reeves alternated between the poor farm and the homes ot his friends and his brother. The latter liv?s in C»ay county, and Reeves was In the habit of visiting him part of each year.

It was about 1880 that be left the poor farm for this brother's home, for a stay of over a year. In November, 1892, the brother was appoisted guardian of Casslus, and was asked to give a nominal bond of $100. This bond was not filed at the time. Soon after Reeves was sent back to the Vigo county poor farm again The authorities of Clay county would not receive him, it is said, at the time.

Four years after this a pension for the unfirtunate old soldier was asked for and ily1 brother, as guardian, proceeded to file nis bond. Four years later than this, in 1890, the pension was granted, together with about $15,000 back pay.

Here, say the Vigo county officials, comes the peculiar part of the case. As soon as this pension was granted, it Is said that Frederick J. S. Robinson, also a resident of Clay county, set his eyes on the guardianship. It is asserted he went to the judge and held interviews with him. At any rate, the bond of the guarlian was raised to $25,000, which the" brother of Reeves could not give, whereupon Robinsin was appointed.

Altogether three Inquests have been he.d over Reeves, two in this county and one in Clay. The first time he was sent from here, the second time Clay county had him declared insane, while he was visiting his brother, anl the third time, after he had been dismissed he came back to Terre Haute, and was sen1, back to the asylum.

It was but a few months ago Piety discovered that this estate wa» contributing taxes to Clay county, and had been doing so for a number of year, which rightfully belong to Vigo county. He at once appointed James Soules, county auditor, guardian over the man, and demanded the estate be turned over to him, Robinson signified he would not give the estate up without a fight.

Shortly after the action of Judge Piety the authorities at the insane asylum sent back to Vigo county two chronic cases of insanity, Reeves and Frank Harmon. This was a tacit acknowledgment that the former was a resident of this county. It was found that, owing to the absence of Reeves at the time the guardian, Mr. Soules had been appointed, the action was Illegal, and the man wa3 brought into court, when the appointment was made a second time.

Mr. Soules retained Attorneys Hamill and Price, and announced his intention to file suit for the estate. It is alleged in the complaint and petition that Reeves is a bona fide resident of this county, and had been for many years, dating back to antebellum days. It Is also alleged that, owing to the absence of the old soldier from the court when Robinson was appointed, the action was void and of negal concern.

The ostate is worth about $17,000 at tht present time.

ANOTHER BIG PLANT

TERRE HAUTE TO BE THE HOME OlT A NOVEL INDUSTRY.

It Is all But Settled That tbe Warrick Corn Husking Machine Will Be Manufactured Here.

Unless there is a decided hitch within the next few days Terre Haute is soon to be the home of another manufacturing institution. This'new industry is nothing more or less than the Warrick Corn Husker Company.

For some time the Business Men's Association officers have been negotiating for bringing the concern to this city and whilp the papers have not yet been drawn up and signed it is tacitly understood that the manufacturing plant will be located in Terre Haute before the enow flies. The industry, so it is said, is to find a home in the piano case factory, which is now occupied by the Langston Gun Stock Company.

The Warrick Corn Husker Company is an organized company and its members hre among the best known and most influential in northern Indiana. The people behind the company reside at Lafayette, Lebanon and Williamsport. The husker is a* new invention and is expected to occupy much the same position with the farmer in regard to the gathering of corn as does the self-binder with wheat. It is a machine which costs probably $150 and if it will do wha: is claimed for it there is no question but it will be in demand from the start and that a factory of large proportions will have to be erected to handle the machines.

The husker is a peculiar looking machine. Those who have seen it say it resembles the cow catcher on a locomotive. It is pulled through a corn field by means of horses and gathers up the corn, leaving the stalks in the field. Wagons are driven alongside of the husker and the corn after passing through the machine, is deposited intothe wagons by means of a small elevator. It is claimed the machine will husk 100 bushels of corn an hour. If this is the case it is A great labor saver. It is supposed that, as the factory will not be able to get any machines ready for the husking season this year, operations will be commenced with about 30 hands. As it is as yet a new thing there will be no great demand for it the first year, but after one year's trial it is said the husker will be in as great demand as the binder was years ago.

The owners of the machine will be here in a day or two when negotiations will be closed. The Express can announce with authority, however, that everything is practically arranged now. The gun stock factory people have talked some about leaving this city, but it not believed they will remove the plant before they have found it necessary to do so on account of being unable to get timber.

Acquitted of "Bine Cut" Hold-up^ Kansas City, Oct. 17—John F. Kennedy, who has been on trial in the criminal court for the past week charged with being the leader of the Chicago & Alton passenger tran robbery at Blue Cut, In December last, was acquitted today. The verdict was reached last night but was not delivered to Judge Woodford until this morning. Kennedy is under indictment for participation in the Alton robbery that occurred on October 23d last, also at Blue Cut, but the evidence against him is slight and he will not be prosecuted again. During the present trial there were persistent rumors of jury bribing, which, however, were denied strenuously by the defense. On no like case in years have the railroad and express companies put forth such strong efforts to |ep^re a conviction as in this one.

THAT AUCTION SALE

tt WILL PACK TBE TERKE HAUTR HOUSE ROTCNOA TOMORROW,

(Manager Barhydt Expects the Tickets For the Opening Night of tbe Grand ...to Go VFtth a Whoop.

Manager Barhydt, of The Grand, is convinced thai the rotunda of the Terro Haute House will be packed tomorrow morning when the auction sale of opening night tickets begins.

For the past week inquiries have been pouring in for reserved seats. They come from all the towns and cities surrounding Terre Haute and receive one uniform answer—that everybody who gets a reserved seat for the "Isle of Champagne" must be in the Terre Haute House lobby Wednesday morning, at 10 o'clock, and buy It by paying more for it than anybody else offers to pay.

It will be remembered that the entire first floor will be sold at auction. So will the boxes and the ioges in ths balcony. These latter seats are separated from the rest of the balcony and are among the very best seats in the house. Some people prefer them to even the parquette. They are up where they, command a splendid view and bring the auditor within easiest possible earshot of tha players.

Yesterday the first bills were posted fof the new house. They were flung upon big billboards in front of the theater and suggested tht gratifying fact that at last Terre Haute is up among the head set in theatrical matters. The workmen in the new house are hurrying along the finishing touches. Tha auditorium is such that the name, "Tho Grand," will be found to fit it perfectly. It is grand in very truth. The beautifully ornamented ceiling, tho imposing proscenium arch and the hundreds of incandescent lights will present a dazzling spectacle. The theater will be as much of a show—and more—« tan the excellent company of artists mak« ,ng up the "Isle of Champagne" company. The latter Is a fine organization. Its costuming is new and rich and the scenery elaborate. No more complete and charming presentation of the opera has ever been seen, whether in town or city.

Everything is coming Manager Barhydt's way, so far as indications go. He thinks he will have one of the most brilliant audiencei on the opening night that was ever seen in a theater in this state. He is so thoroughly satisfied of this that he has invited to be present many of his friends from different parts of the country, among them dramatic critics and wealthy sdmirers of the stage,
