of the Opera the Philadelphia Press

"The people who go to see 'Pinafore,

observer Of audiences a brilliant sight
and a pleasing study. Taking a COM
mandng post of observation, and glanc-
ing over the auditorium, at all times
crowded, the locker on is first impressed
by the prevailing air of intelligence and
respectablity. Then the fashionable cast
OF the house makes itself felt, aud thickly
scattered throughout the theatre, leading
representatives of our best society are
seen, people who are rarely attracted to a
temple OF the drama. After this, the
family aspect of the attendance is
noticed, and it is seen that fathers and
mothers have taken their entire home
circles to enjoy the pure fun and beauti-
full music of Sullivan and Gilbert's chef
dourre. The character of 'Pinafore's'
audiences is due to the merit of the opera,
its cleanliness, and the cordial and unani-

He markable Recovery of Sight
a Young Lady, after being Blind for

SiuLf

a Young Lady, after being Blind for
Tro Years, Suddenly Recorers Her
Sight.
Miss Minnie Lombard, residing at No.
I'll Jefferson street, who had been suf-
feriDg from blindness for the past two
years, was suddenly and almost miracu-
lously restored to sight few mornings
ago. Her blindness occurred about two
years ago, and was the result of severe
attack of typhoid fever, which deprived
one eye of sight and left the other in a
very weakened condition. After her re-
covery she was taken TO Philadelphia to
have her eyes treated, but the treatment
was not successful, and she soon lost the
sight of the other eye, leaving her tolal-
ly blind.
During her days OF blindness Miss
Lombard employed her time in knitting
and making little cardboard ornaments,
at which work she beca ne very success
ful, her productions finding ready sale.
She made many friends who symlathiz-
ed with her affiiction, and admired her
sweet amiable disposition. She had CIV
EN- up ali hopes of ever being able to see
again, and was resigned to her sad fate.
On Wednesday morning of last week
she awoke early suffering from severe
headache and pain in her eyes. Her
mother bathed her head and she fell
asleep again. When she awoke an hour
or SO later she found to her intense as
tonishment and delight that her sight
was completely restored, and she could
see as well as ever This state of affairs
has continued ever since and her eyes
are apparently as sound as they were be-
fore her sickness.
1t is mentioned rs a strange coincident
with this event that at a prayer meeting
held in st. PauPs church the evening
previous, Miss Lombard was made IA
special subject OF prayer, she being a
member of the church. The result GER
tainly looks like direct answer.
Tue restoration to sight, however, was
due in great measure to the treatment
of DIR. w. f. Qulnby, who has been at
tending the young lady for some time
past The suddenness of the cure,
though is rather SllrDriSinp

Negro Education.

Special Correspondence of the GAZETTE
DOVER, DEL, Feb. 4, lo79.-A meet
ing of the colored people was held day
or two ago, with view OF securing an
educational appropriation from the Leg
islature. The following was adopted:
WHEREAS, We believe that an educa-
ted community is more elevated in its
morals, as well as more advanced in its
temporal affairs than an uneducated COM
munitv; and
WHEREAS, We have viewed with pro-
found regret the degraded condition of
our people through the want of educa-
ton and feeling that our means are so
limited that we cannot give our children
the educational advantages necessary to
make them honorable and useful citi-
zens therefore, he it
RESOLVED. That we pray the honorable
Legislative body now in session that it
take into consideration the condition of
our colored schools and make such an
an appropriation for our schools as il may
deem our necessities demand.
Arrangements are being made for
State Convention, which will be held on
Tuesday, Feb. Is.

In the United States Senate, yesterday,
letter was read from the Secretary of
State in relation to the affairs of the late
Bayard Tayl minister TO Germany, in
which it was stated that his widow Is in
embarrassed circumstances pecuniarily
and recommending that Congress pass an
act giving her the amount of the salary of
the minister to Germany for one year.
Mr.. Matthews's resolution was adopted
providing for the appointment of COM
mittee to inquire into all claims of cti-
zens of the United States against the gov
ernment of Nicaragua for Indemnity for
relatives taken, wounds and other per-
sonal injuries inflicted, and property ta-
ken injured or destroyed, &c. Mr., Ed
munds's resolutions declaring the val
idity of the thirteenth, fourteenth, fif-
teenth amendments came up, and Mr..
Whyte spoke in opposition to their pas
sage. A motion to postpone the further
consideration of the resolutions until the
9Th of March, amended by a motion to
postpone their consideration indefinitely
was defeated-yeas Is, nays 80. Finally
a vote on the Edmunds resolutions was
reached, and they were adopted by vote
OF ~ yeas to II nays, many of the Sena-
tors being pared and not voting.
In the House, the Mississippi river
levee bill was passed. Majority and min-
nority reports were presented from the
committee on elections in the Florida
contested election case, the majority re-
port being in favor Of the contestant,
Finley, dem, and the minority in favor
of Bisbee, republican sitting member.
The army appropriation bill occupied
the remainder of the session. An amend
ment offered to the bill, substantially
kdown as the army reorganization bill,
led to debate, pending which the House
adjourned.

An Appeal for Mt. Salem M. T..
Church.

w iLMINGION, February 4, 1919.
Mt Salem NJ. Il. Church was built by
the contributions of its members and
friends IN the immediate neighborhood
The cost was nearly, $12 600 about all of
which was paid, except bond of 5000,
which could remain for a while.
On Saturday night, February 1st, the
members OF the church and congregation
retired to rest full of bright anticipatiu uus
OF a deiightfui season of worship on the
morrow in their new aud beautiful Sab
bath home.
On Sabbath morning February I'd,
many came to fluid, in the place of the
structure which they had made many q
sacrifice to build, fe W CHASTITY walls en-
closing a smouldering heap of ruins. Fire
had destroyed it, burning up almost ev-
cry ve-tige OF the wood work, and so
running the walls that II wi be necessary
70 pull them down to the foundation. n.
The people contributed to the utmost of
their ability TO pay for the former church,
and would have paid the last dollar, but
for this calamity, without asking for help
outside Of their own neighborhoOd. hut
this disaster leaves them almost helpless.
The insurance will not restore the build
ing. They need fully as large building
as they had before, and feel compelled to
make an appeal to Christian public for
aid.
To restore The building and leave no
debt will require probably $1,000 in addi-
ton to the full amount of the insurance.
The sum of $1,000 would place the Church
IN the same financial condition as before
leaving the bonded debt of $1,000.
Any contribution of large or small
amount to help in rebuilding will be most
thankfully received, and may be given or
sent to either Of the following

attack of typhoid fever. Early last We'd
nesday morning she awoke, complaining
of headache. Her mother, as usual,
applied warm water, when she fell asleep
again. On awaking the second time her
sight returned, and by the next day her
eyes had obtained their natural bnllia:.-

The New York Custom House
Fight.

Commenting on the confirmation by
the United States Senate of the New
York custom house nominations, the
New York Times says:
"Mr. ConklIng's defeat in contest in
to which he carried rather more than the
usual amount Of abusive vehemeuce may
serve to remind him that tact and mod
Grafton are quite as necessary qualiti tica-
tions of the successful politician az the
power of invective or the trick of calling
names. Neither Mr.. Conkling nor any
one else, however, can derive from the
success of the administration in this
struggle any encouragement for political
honesty or personal consistency. The
standard of character in the public ser
vice will hardly be elevated by the re-
moval of ore officer for being too much
of politician to make way for another
who has never been anything but poll-
tician, but who happens to be one of that
select band of persons who prefer to be
known as administration republicans -
The New York World says:
"The democrats voted for confirmation
obviously under the impression that by
doing IL they would weaken the repub-
lean party in New York. There was not
much more civil service reform in this
course than in the conrse OF Mr. Sherman
and Mr.. Hayes, and it remains to be seen
whether there was or was not much po-
lincal gumption in it,"
The New York Tribune says:
"There was strong feeling that the
New York custom house should not be
permitted to become an open sore on the
body of the republican party. One way
or another the matter had to be adjusted,
and Senators found it easiest to adjust il
by keeping in men against whom no
complaints were made. The contest be-
ing over, republicans will insist that the
lighting shall stop. New York is to be
carried next fall, if the presidency is to
be saved in 1880, and it can only be car
ried, as it was last fall, by a united re-
publican party, whose members have
subordinated personal grievances TO the
