SUCCESS OF "FRrrz CLOSING NIGHT
OF THE SEAsoN.-The second appear
ance Of the unequaled Emmett last
evening was favored with an even
moro densely crowded audience than
the night previously, attesting we'll
and substantially to his increased pop
ularity and complete appreciation.
"Fritz" is already installed rs the
prime favorite with our critical theater
goers, and FULLY recognized as the most
potent star Of attraction appearing
upon that stage for many q day. Our
German fellow-citizens are no more
delighted with him than are Ameri-
cans. All nationallties approve Of this
"Fritz," and consider him a "good
egg" The play Is very meritorous In
itself, and Emmet Is just the very man
required as the delineator Of the lead
ing character. The balance Of the cast
is well represented. Even the emil
grant runners, Bloker and Smasher, are
capitally personated by Hinckley
and Sinclair. They are quite a feature
Of the piece. As to Rea, In his per-
| sonation of "Justlce Griffin" he makes
n decided hit-a hit palpablc especially
to the people Of this locality. Every
body who sees him knows at once just
who he looks like. The piece passed
Off even better last evening than 1t did
at its first presentation. It Is the
greatest success of the season, and will
be repeated tonight. Tomorrow night
will be the last Of Fritz. Our Cousin
| German, and the Opera House closes
for an indefinite period Of time-prob-
ably for several weeks. When it will
reopen it Is difficult to say. We hope,
however, it will not be allowed to re-
main closed long. Go and see "Fritz"
and hear his magic harmonicon to-
night.
THE STATE PRISON EscAPADE.-An
officer Of the State Prison sends us the
following communication this morn
ing, which we publish in a spirit Of fair
play toward all parties concerned: "a
communication which appeared In the
Territorial Enterprise of yesterday,
purporting to come from "A Core
spondent,' is untrue In many particu-
lars, and "a undoubtedly pcnned
| through malice by one Of the Guard
who had been discharged. The two
prisoners that escaped were on the sick
list, and for the most part of the day
were In their cells. At 6 o'clock P. ".
the prisoners are ordered locked up,
and as they enter their cells close the
door after them. Then the brake to
each tier Is thrown on, which fastens
all the doors at once. Each door Is
then locked, which makes double fas-
Jennings to each door. From G to 8
o'clock the prisoners pass their time in
various ways, and a. they do not turn
In until 5 o'clock, make much noise
with their chains--so much so that the
cutting through the roof be easily
done without detection by the night
guard. That portion referring to the
action Of the State Prison Commission
| ers Is an'entire fabrication"
Legal. ENTHUSIASTICALLY Supreme
Court has taken a recess until the 18th
of June-Judge Lewis going East, and
Judge CARRIER to California. Under q
law passed last Winter, no lawyer can
practice In any Of the Courts Of this
State after the 4th instant, without
having q certificate from the Supreme
Court. Certificates issued by that Court
previous to the passage Of the new law
hold good under it, but applicants for
admission are required to pay $25 into
the Library Fund and 80 fees. Up to
this date but two new certificates have
been issued-one to j. II. Lucas, Dis
trict Attorney of Elko county, and the
other to John K. Kittrell, District
Attorney Of White Pine county. In
the absence of a majority Of the Su-
preme Judges, they have left with the
Clerk, Alfred Helm, u list OF names Of
twenty-six attorneys In this State,
whom the Judges vouch for from per-
sonal knowledge IS being qualified,
and have authorized the Clerk to issue
certificates to such whenever the neces-
sary moneyed application Is made. SO
says the Carson Register.
CHURCH BENEFrT EEsTIvAL.-A fes-
tival for the relief Of st. Johns Church
will be given BY the ladies Of Gold
| Hill about the middle Of next week.
