sNsUHy TO THE WHEAT CROPS


IL is thought that the unprecedented ram
fail which accompanied the late Minnesota
cyclone has wrought serious injury to the
wheat crops in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Illinois. The Chicago Tribune Of Tuesday
morning says:
The heavy rsins Of Sunday snd Monday
have covered large district, intlicting upon
the ripening wheat, so nearly ready for the
harvest, an amount of damage that is now
difficult 10 correctly estimate. Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Northern Illinois have been
very thoroughly drenched, with here and
there marrow strip in which great de-
suuction to the crops has resulted. As for
the country in general in which these I'M
usual rains have fallen, much depends
upon the weather that shall follow. III
cool and brsezy, almost DO damage will be
sustained; but If the weather should be
warm and sultry a vast amount OF mischief

ADJUSTMENTS

TIE ABBOTT ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY IN
''EoMEo AND JUIIET."
Gounod's opera, Of Romeo and Juliet"
was the attraction offered by the Emma
Abbott English Opera comrany at Pixies
last night. The announcement Of
new work by the master mind
that gave us "Faust' brought out fine
audience, who were already convinced Of
the excellence of the company that was to
produce II, ana was fully prepared to enjoy
delightful musical OCCASION. The opera
lfas never before beer presented
in this country, except in Phla-
delphia, and it has onlv been heard
in English in Philadelphia, pre-
vious to last night, so that it is not
only new to our people, but is really new
to the musical world. The sad love story
of "Romeo and Juliet has fascination
about it that lends double interest to the
Opera. The libretto. in many particulars.
follows Shakespeare pretty closely in telling
the story, but the love scenes are given a
double interest when the wooing done is to
the sweet 81 rains of GOunod's beautiful mu-
sic. Miss Emma Abbott was the Juliet, and
Mr.. Castle the Romeo, and two better. lovers
and singers it would he hard to find united
in the same persons. In the balcony scene
'ROmeo" climbs hand over hand to where
the fair Juliet stands, and claspng her
in his arms, presents beautiful pic
turs of rapturous love, Miss Alb.
bott displays very fine dramatic
power, and in this character as well as
'.Virginia" shows herself most excellent
actress, one of the very best on the operate
stage. The numbers are well suited to her
voice, and she sings them with almost bird
like sweetness. The aria, "Let Ne Live
On" in the ball scene, is one of the
gems Of the opera, and was exeuisitely
sung by Miss Abbott The duo in the first
net, by Miss Abbott and Castle, II Accept
the Sin as Nine" is also very beautiful,
and was warmly applauded. M46s Pauline
Maurel, as Stephen" the page,
made an excellent impression. Her
singing Of an aria was so pleas
ing that she received hearty
encore. She has a sweet, rich voice,
and is very graceful actress Mr.. Stod-
dard made good "Mercutio," and the rest
Cf the support was much above the aver
age. At the matinee to-day the popular
opera, "Chimes OF Normandy" will be Civ
en-, and tonight "Paul and Virginia" The
sale Of seats is quite much larger business
for the remainder Of the week. Tonight
the house will becrowded.
