HELENA E HOUSE.
A Few Figures Concerning the
New Dramatic Temple
Now In Process Of
Construction.

Helena Yoeman, 81
1t has been known for some time
that the growth of this city in popula-
ton and taste for the opera and drama
demanded the erection OF a temple
wherein might be rendered the works
Of the greatest writers by artists of ac-
knowledged merit, Accordingly sew.
eral of the most enterprisiug citizens
formed an association having for its
purpose the erection of an opera house
Of such a character as would be in
keeping with the importance of Helena
in every respect. These gentlemen
went to work with commendable zeal,
and the result Of their labor is
that to-day there Is in process
of construction a building that for
elegance of design, completeness in all
its details, and adaptability to the
purposes for which it is intended.
cannot be excelled in any city OF equal
size in the great southwest. Mr.. b. r..
Fitzpatrick, one Of the members ofthe
association, has kindly furnished us
with the following figures relating to
the dimensions Of the new opera
house: The first bricks we're laid yes
terday. The building will be ITO feet
long and AZ feet wide, with two small
stores in front, extending back 30 feet.
The foundation is six feet in thick
ness, on which will rest walls
eighteen inches thick. From
the parQuette Aoer to the ceiling, the
distance will be 30 feet. There
will be a parquette, dress circle
and gallery, with a seating capacity of
700 persons. The stage will be Of the
proper height, 25 feet in length aud
the full width Of the building. There
will be dressing rooms for actors at
the real of the building, with entrance
to same from the stage. For the pur-
pose Of converting the interior into a
dancing room, a false floor will DO pro.
vided, which will extend over the
parqpotto at on even height with the
stage, making an area 1880 feet. Two

the operahouse will be neat and yer,
attractive, aud an architectural orna'
ment of which Helenians will be iustl

j. B. ODER, Editor.
FRoSTBURG, MD, NOV. 8, 1880.

THE worry, tell and bitterness, of
the q eat contest is over, and no in
telligent citizen refrains from a sigh
of relief. Incidental to these great
conflicts come private troubles and
individual antago1isms, but good
sense generally prevails at last. In
hot times people are more easily pro-
voked than when the waters of poll
tics are untroubled. They are more
intolerant Of opposing opinions then
than when there is little or no occs-
sion for intolerance. There are times
when people think sincerely that
there ought to be more than one
party in the country; but when great
issues spring up TOR settlement by the
people, the members and machinery
of all parties think, speak and operate
as if there ought to be but one. This
is natural, and it is compliment to
all when we allow each the convic-
tion that it is moving conscientiously
in the direction of it's political train
ing or belief, and toward that issue
which to it seems best for the country.
At least two great parties seem to
be a necessity. If it were possible
for all to coalesce and form one,grand,
colossal political establishment, it
would not be long before some ques-
ton would present itself upon which
all could not agree. Already parties
in themselves divide. We hear of
wings" and factions" rings" and
"cabals" everywhere and party ties
are frequently sundered in factional
and personal interests. Then follows
individual competitions, and so on, all
involving antagonizing elements and
interests.
But, with everything that is mortal
these die and give place to new men
and new issues which serve their day
and pass away. So with our differ
ences, errors, offences and animosities;
it is almost impossible to cherish
them with profit, for the enemies we
make to-day in one sphere of labor
may be needful to-morrowas co-work-
els in another.
1t is needless, perhaps, for us to ad-
wise the victorious to be magnanimoua
and forgetful, or the vanquished to
be quiet and submissive. The verdict
of the people is registered, and "the
voice of the people is the voice Of
God" "Let all the people say amen. "

WHAT A DEALER SUGGESTS.

FRosTBURa, Nov. 4. 1880.
Mr.. Editor If you will be kind
enough to give me a small space in
your valuable paper would say a
few words in connection with the late
election regarding local option:
The voters of this county have, as
I confidently expected from the start,
asserted their desire for personal
privilege and free agency by giving
an immense majority against the ia.
NAUTICAL question ofprohibition. They
seem still to have enough of desire FIR
liberty of action left within them to
show equal rights to every legitimate
business.
Now, after having gained this de-
cisive victory for their rights | would
say few words to the men engaged
in the liquor business
There is not the least doubt that
the assertion of the temperance people
of scandal being given as the imme-
diate effect of the excessive use Of
stimulants, is to certain extent, true,
and l would therefore kindly advise
all the dealers to so conduct their
places of business that the opposing
party must eventually respect it, and
rid themselves of their prejudice by
acknowledging that, when properly
conducted, it is just as respectable
and honorable a calling as any other
honest mode of making living.
Respectfully,
ONE OF THEM.
