MUSIC AND THE DRAMA
FATINITZA.

FATINITZA
The Ideals of course drew a crowded house
to City Hall last night, as was expected, for
their reputation is so we'll established there is
always great demand for seats the first day
they are placed on sale.
The opera of Fatinitza was fully criticised in
these columns when the same company appear
ed in it a little over year ago, and there is no
occasion co change the opinion then expressed.
There is no dispute that it is beautifully put on
the stage, as far as costumes are concern ed
and that there is any quantity of fun evolved
in the presentation by the capital acting of the
principals Misses Phillips and Stone, Messrs.
Whitney, Barnabee, Tom Karl, and Frothing-
ham, the comical rag-tag brigade of cadets,
and the very many amusing situations A new
feature introduced last night was the shadow
pictures, which were excellent. Mr. Tom Karl
was obliged to repeat "My Native Land" Civ
ing it with great fervor and expression. Mr..
Whitney was also encored after Thousand
Fifes:" Mr.. Barnabee had to repeat "When
Sick Men are Falling" and the trio "March
on EearlesSly," by Misses Stone, Phillips and
Mr. Karl aroused the audience to enthusiasm.
The best thing in the opera, the quartette in
the tirst act, passed comparatively unappre-
ciated.
The orchestra was good and was we'll led by

NEW ORLEANS NINSTRELS.
Speaking of this company, which will appear
at Portland Theatre, Saturday, an exchange
says:
"From foot lights to roof the hall was pack
ed. Encore after encore was responded to and
yet they cried for more. The -Four Invinci-
bles' retired from sheer exhaustion. The quar-
tette singing was splendid. Mr.. Batell's bass
song, Committed to the Deep was remarka-
| bly, fine. Billy McAllister's stump speech
pleased us the most, but the pedestal clog dane
ing seemed to delight most of the audience
| greatly. We think Mr.. Baird is perfectly safe
in offering his $4,000 challenge for their equal.
Baird's New Orleans Minstrels are sure of a
big house whenever they come.

A Good Illustration.
How Different IA Thing may he Viewed
from a Different Position.

Referring to mistaken ideas about
relics recalls the story in German
paper about certain professor,
which is a parallel to the Bill Stumps
adventure of Pickwick. a German
antiquary made the delightful dis
covery that stone placed over a
stable door bore the inscription 1851.
&c must have this stone in my col
lection, cost what it may" thought
the savant. Calling tenant farmer,
who was the proprietor, the profess
sor said to him eagerly: odd you
not obtain this stone from the castle
ruin on the hill yonder?" " 1t may
be that my grandfather fetched it
thence when he built the stable, y
was the reply. The antiquar.v then
asked what he would take for tho
stone. "Since you appear to have
a fancy for it," said the farmer,
"sive me 40 guildens, and | will
bring it to your home" " Rather
large sum-" said the professor;
j." but bring it to my residence and
you shall have the money" When
in due course of time the farmer
brought the stone upon a truck, the
jealous antiquary turned it over, to
refresh his eyes with sight of its
venerable chronological inscription !,
not without anxiety that it might
have been damaged in its removal.
Z" Why he exclaimed, " what is
this % This is not the right stone.
On the stone l bought from you was
the date 1881, while this bears the
very modern date 1901, which proves
that the other was exactly 720 years
older than this" "Do not trouble
about that" said the peasant. "The
masons, you see, sir, turned the
stone upside down when they set it
in the doorway, because it fitted bet
ter that way. You can turn it
whichever way you like; but, OF
course, l must have the money
agreed upon" The professor, it is
said, at once paid the whole sum,
and gave the man present besides
to take away the stone and say no
more about the matter.

An Embarrassed Young Man.

The following story of ex-Gover-
nor Grimes, of this city, says the
Burlington Ra,rkeye, is vouched for
by one who knew him we'll:
The Legislature had just convened
at the capital of Iowa. Governor
Grimes had arrived the night before
and taken rooms at certain hotel
at least so a young aspirant for office
from distant portion of the State
ascertained, as he drove up and
alighted from his carriage at the
steps of that public house. The
hostler threw off his trunk, and the
landlord conducted him to his room,
leaving the trunk in the bar-room.
Wishing his trunk, the young man
demanded to have it brought up,
and seeing a young man passing
through the lower hall, whom he
took to be the porter, lie gave his
commands in an imperious lofty
tone. The order was obeyed, and
the man charging quarter of dol
lar for his services, a marked quar-
ter, that was good only for 20 cents,
was slipped slyly into his hand and
was put into his pocket by the man
with smile.
"And now. sirrah! you know
Gov. Grimes ?"
Yes"
"Well, take my card to him and
tell him 1 wish an interview with
him at his earliest convenience"
A peculiar look flashed from the
mans blue eyes, and, with smile,
extending his hand, he said:
ct am Governor Grimes, at your
service, sir.
You-I-that is, my dear sir, |
beg-a-a-thousand pardons, sir!'
he said.
"None needed at all, sir" replied
Gov. Grimes. 8" I was rather favor
ably impressed with your letter, and
had thought you we'll suited for
the office specified. But, sir, any
man who would swindle a working
man out of a paltry five cents would
defraud the public treasury had he
an opportunity. Good evening, sir. "
