THE BABY OPERA.

Tho little Kindergarteners were greeted
last night by large and most appreciative
audience. They acquitted themselves SO well
that We feel that we are unequal 20 the task
OF mentioning names, especially i'll view of
the fact that we did not take notes; however,
we must beg tho privilege of speaking of the
prologue, spoken by little George Hunter,
dressed in the costume of the olden times.
His manner of delivery would have done
credit to child of much older growth. We
heard many commendatory remarks and feel
sure that everybody went away pleased. Ger
tainly all the mothers must have felt them
selves repaid for their trouble and natural
anxiety. Miss Babcock deserves much credit
for the time and patience she and her assist
ant, Miss Martin, must have bestowed upon
these wee subjects of Mother Goose, to have
Cotton them SO well up in their parts without
the presence upon the stage of any grown per-
son. We trust that Miss Babcock realized
something handsome for the benefit of her
school, for she is q most enthusiastic and
painstaking teacher

THEATRICAL.

says: We have had here many exhibitions of

but generally with surroundings which have

or the broadcast field for dramatic art, yet

$500 MISSING,
Another Package Mysteriousiy DisappearinG
from the Treasury.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-When Mr.. New was
Treasurer in 1875 he imposed fine on all
banks and business firms sending packages OF
money to the Treasury for redemption In in
convenient form for counting. This was done
to compensate the Office for the extra trouble
and time involved in counting. During his ad-
ministration these fines amounted to about
$780, When the Treasurer's office was
turned over to Mr.. wyman. the committee
appointed to count the cash In the Treas
ury treated this sum as 80 much over.
and 30 reported to the Secretary. The
money was then in charge OF the Chief Of
the Redemption Division. In July, 1876. the
attention Of the Secretary was called to this
money and he wrote to the Treasurer. making
some suggestion as TO the proper manner OF
covering II into tho Treasury. The Treasurer
thereupon prepared a list OF the banks and
business firms from which this sum had been
cxacted. and transmitted the list to the Secre-
tary for his decision "a to what disposition
made. however. and Mr.. Wyman, supposing
the Secretary had caused 1t to be covered into
the Treasury gave no further attention to the
subject and II was forgotten. Recently. how
ever. an inquiry was made rs TO whether this
sum had ever gone into the Treasury. and n
careful inspection OF the books showed no such
record Secretary sherman ut once instituted
an active search for the missing package. which
when last seen was in an envelope in the safe OF
the Chief of the Redemption Division. but up
