Not being Greek we are frank to
say we could not understand nor ap-
preciate the music. But those who
had the ear to follow the church-stee-
pie trills, and the diving-beil MARBLES,
say it was exquisite. Miss Lewis
singing was superb-judging from the
encores she received though we have
our doubts about single soul under
standing word she said-in fact her
song was Italian. Her strains run
from medium up to IA and down to
xxx, and had our solicitude for her
not been great we might have enjoyed
it, but we expected every minute to
hear her corset strings snap, and that
spelled the singing for us. Well take
Yankee music for ours, il it's nothing
else but q Observation-Disclosures

lenity, 5y District Attorney Wells,
at Washington, and with the appro-
val of Attorney General Devens' has
set aside the proceedings instituted
against Dom Piatt, the editor of the
Washington Capital, for writing and
publishing an article in his paper
melting rebellion against the Govern
ment. The article in question was
decidedly reasonable, but written
during the heat of the count of the
Presidential votes by the Electoral

gated by the excitement of that inn

fierce has no authority to try divorce
case, neither has judge the right to
refer such case to referee for trial,
and all actions for divorce must be
heard In open court, or by a commits
sion appointed by the court, and in
any event the trial must be in open

oar Iowa courts to refer divorce cases
TO referees, thus cheating the public
