THE NEW BURLEsouE oPERA, "EvANoELINE."
The new operatio burlesque. "Evangene," was
produced at the Fifth Avenue Theatre last evening"
and had enthusiastic reception. It is writ
ten In couple,s, OF the style common In
extravaganza, Astounding in puns, some Of
which clever, while others are nero
echoes Tho story, OF course, has the slightest
resemblance TO LongfeIlow's poem and there Is just
enough plot TO hold together multitude of amusing
situations. Evangeline, who is about marry Gabriel,
shelters two deserters from q ship in the barbor,
is arrested for that crime, and, with all the
principal actors in the piece Is transported to
Africa, where they are all sentenced TO death
for plundering the diamond grotto OF the King His
Majesty fortunately recognizes OF the party

united. This idea gives excclect opportunity

but II Is always bright ana lively. Some OF the molo

Th6 acting. as usual, was better than tho
singing, though Miss Weathersby warbled delightfully."-
as Gabriel aud Miss Lizzie Harold used 1nc
trato admirably as Evanyclinc. Mr. Goodwin
sang several comic songs capt. ally, and there were
dozens Of pretty little duets and sparkling choruses.
There IL much original and amusing business in the
piece, and the Lone Fisherman. who never
utters word. although no in every

The scene presented looked to US like The
picture OF Adam Poe stealing up on Big Foot
which picture we used TO see in all the Indian
books we read fifteen years ago. The SINH
larity was very striking-as Johns long and
active form appeared once between US, the
geese and the horizon. We saw principally
Johns feet, and herein was the similarity of
John to Big Foot. We didn' notice whether the
geese bore any strong resemblance to Adam
Poe They might have done so. We skrm-
ished about that wheat field long. long time.

shot, but accomplished nothing. Then a
snow storm came up-a terrible, driving one
at that. We then struck for the Saline river
to try our luck with the ducks. We shiyered
Saline, on whose placid waters only three
ducks were seen. John did manage TO Kill
one-a poorly fed, uneduca,ed, poverty strick-
ell duck, which cat would not eat AT the
other two John shot about eight shots. The
ducks got disguised Ct his shoot
ing, at last, and rose and went slowly
away. We struck from the Saline for
pond somewhere 1--WE don't know
where) We wandered around in the storm.
John shank gave US some directions which
we did not follow. and with the biggest dis
gust on in the world. we started for home.
There is lots of pleasure in hunting ducks and
geese. We are ready to 60 again.

rifice their lives fortunes and sacred honors

provisions to feed all the Indians between

camping furniture enough TO supply all the
hosts of Israel which went on such grand

Hanna thinks that we complain too much
concerning the condition OF the school park.
This is tn inform him that we but reflect the
sentiments Of large majority of the voters OF
School District No 2, in entering our com
plants. 1t is the desire OF all to see that
frightfully barren public park improved right
away. II the present school board has not
the means at hand (and we never supposed
they had) they can put the ball in motion by
which the wherewith can be obtained. They
can do this easily, and this Hanna knows as
well as ourselves. We say again lets have the
park improved. Trees. at least. can be set out
and properly protected. Mr.. Marks offers so
trees toward this Improvement.
