frequent applause. Johannsen as "Martha'
was charming as ever; Habeimann sang eli

weinlIch was acceptable as "Plunkett," and
Dzuiba as "Nancy" gave evidences OF i'm.
provement in voice and action since her last
appearance in this city. The excellence Of the
music, however, and the general fidelity with
which the opera was rendered, barely atoned
for the omission of one of the finest scenes
that between Lionel and Martha-in the fourth
act.
This evening "Faust' will be presented,
with about the same cast as in former repre-
sensations in this city; the most noticeable
change being the appearance of Mad. Rotter

and annoyance in the transaction of business
has been occasioned by the fact that different

designations SO nearly alike as to be mistaken

likely to take place here In regard TO the null
titude OF new insurance companies asking for
charters at the hands Of Congress this session

rators for the proposed National Capital In

are directors.) and the name is so similar as to
