Leeoeq's chef TOuprs, LA File de Madame
Angot," was rendered last evening at the Ma
tional Theatre, by Madame Oates company, be-
fore an intelligent though not 8 very large audi
enee. Owing to the sbsence of Mile. Rousseau
from the cast, the representation was not as
unique and pleasing as We have been accustomed
to see ii performed by this excellent troupe. 1t
was also to be regrett ted that Madame Oates was
not in her usual voice. and lacked, in a certain
degree, that charming viyscity so peculiarly her
own. In every other respect the opera was all
highly the superb impersonation of LouchGrd. by
Mr.. Jones. It was an inimitable piece of acting,
and made ample amends for whatever dissppoint-
ment we might have otherwise experienced
La Grande Duchesse," the most popular Of all
opera bogfes, is advertised for this evening. As
everybody is familiar with the gems of this peer
less production Of Otenbach's, It is needless to
say any thing in its favor. Those who have not
seen this opera sung and acted in English should
by all means avail themselves Of their only Op-
pOrtupity this winter.

The Money-order Busfnsss.

The amount Of money orders issued at the
Washington city post ONCE during the year 1870
was sb4o, ,s2o.<T; fees received si,53s.55, COM
compared with orders issued esq., 5o7.5s, and fees
received ta,es2.4o, in 1sI5. The apparent dis
erepancy in the amount Of fees received is ac-
counted for by the abolition OF the vecent fee by
the Department at the beginning Of the present
year. The amount OF orders paid dul ing 1915 was
e593 3xo2p as against t6S5 5S3 u paid in 1875 1t
will be seen that there is but slight increase in
the business during the past year. Last year the
Department provided for the creation OF some
three hundred new money-order offices through
out the United States, but owing to the failure Of
to make the necessary appropriation the project
was suspended. There are now about thirty-six
hundred money-order ofnces in the United states.

The report Of Commissioner Smith, in charge
OF the Indian Bureau, Is an unusually long and
very interesting document. 1t shows the most
sstisfsetory advancement Of the Indian service,
and includes many excellent suggestions looking
10 the welfare Of the people he has in charge. In
speaking Of the Indian Territory, which will ultl
mAtely become the permanent home Of all the
wild tribes, the Commissioner says:
Affairs In the Indian Territory are both COM
plicated and embarrassing. BY treaty the Gov
ernment has ceded to the so-called- -cfvilized
tribez, the Cherokees, Choetaws. ChickasAws,
Creeks and Semineles, o sectionof country alto
gether disproportionate in amount TO their needs.
The Cherokees number about 1900, and own
5t3l ,35l acres, or T9l1 acres TO each person The
10. 900 Chsctaws have an average Of AIS acres to
person.; the 5000 Ohickasavs an average Of IT'S
acres; the 1900 Greeks an average Of 247 acres,
and the 2, ass Seminoles an average OF 81 acres.
In the aggregate, for population Of 81, ,435 per-
sons, there are set apart 20 7s4 30e acres, or an
average Of SIS acres for each tndfvidual-an area
nearly equal to the area Of the State OF Indiana
for population not much greater than that OF
many agricultural counties in the Eastern or
Middle States.
