Fay Templeton To-Nieht.

Miss Fay Templeton will appear this even-
ing in the charming comic opera THE Mas
cotte.' An eastern exchange, speaking of
Miss Templeton and the performance, says:
This splendid little artistic delighted a good
sized audience at Moore's Opera House last
night in the "Mascotte' The piece is brim-
by the entire company. Fay Templeton's
representation of Bettina, the winsome, spir-
lied coquette, was charming. No less admir-
able was Seth Crane as Beppo, and the pair
made delightful picture to see, their rich
voices captivating the audience. The famous
"gobble" song was heartily encored. John
Templeton's Prince Lorenzo was intensely
funny. The company is a strong one, and
should be well patronzed this afternoon and
evening. At the matinee the "Mascotte'' will
be repeated, and in the evening "Olivette" will
be presented.
Those wishing to know more of the Tenn
pleton family than can fall 10 the lot of one
sitting in the audience before them will be
interested in the following bit of Fay Temple
toms history which We are able to give our
readers: The star of the company is Miss Fay
Templeton, who has been on the stage since
she was years cid, and is now rapidly ad
vanclng to her eighteenth birthday She was
born in the pine woods of Florida, and
entered upon her present life under the direc-
tlon of her father and mother, who have both
led actors lives behind the foot lights for
many years. She took child parts at first, but
having gained a reputation she glided into
leading parts with unusual grace. She has
appeared before large audiences in all the
larger cities, but more especially in the south,
while one season was spent IN Old Mexico,
where the natives received the company with
the greatest pleasure.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.--The James A. Gar
field Oak society, formed almost entirely of
Germans residing in the Eastern district Of
Brooklyn, met to-day at Cypress Hill cemetery
to plant an oak in memory of the martyred
president. A procession of 1900 men, in
Guiding members of the Grand Army of the
Republic of the Sixteenth ward, battery of
the Germania schuetzenbund, the John Bloom
association, the Nineteenth ward battery,
Veteran cadets, and Soldiers and Sailors union,
started at II o'clock for the cemetery. Arriving
at the spot set apart for the oak the, exercises
began by an air by the military band, followed
by war song by the Schwebischer s@enger-
bund, an English Grafton by Col. Lewis R.
Stlgman, the newly elected sheriff. The SOL
ensn planting of the oak was accompanied by
a salute of twenty-one guns. Then followed
German olation by Herr Themann, and the
ceremonies ended with a dirge. The
throng of spectators at the cemetry
was immense and the deepest inter-
est was manifest in the proceedings.
The members of the various societies wore
badges bearing the words "We Mourn Our
Loss" and all were dressed in uniforms. Col
Stigman, in his address, traced the careers of
Lincoln and Garfield, and showed how much
alike they were, and how from humble begin.

great American nation Col. Stigman spoke
also in eloquent terms of the soldier life of

Inspired-A Welt by His Brother and
Sister.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Tne trial of Gui-
teau will be begun tomorrow in the criminal
court. Witnesses have been SUNNI oned on
both sides. Arrangements have been perfect
ed to seat all spectators allowed in the court
room. No lounging will be permitted in the
aisles or corridors. John ". Guiteau, of
Boston, and sister, Mrs. Scoville, visited their
brother at the Jail this afternoon. The inter-
view lasted nearly two hours. The pris-
oner betrayed no unusual emotion at
the meeting, and after.-exchanging salutations
began his old story of the causes which
prompted him to commit the crime. He ex.
pressed no regret whatever for the action, but
reiterated his previous story about being Gin
spired by God," etc.
George Scoville, Guiteau's counsel, stated
this evening his client insisted it should be his
prerogative to make statement in court to-
morrow, and that Guiteau had been engaged
the past ten days in preparing document set
ting forth his views, which he will probably
present as soon as the court opens tomorrow
unless prevented by Judge Cox. Scoville said
tonight it was not the intention of counsel
for the defense to intrude technical objections
in selecting jury. They will endeayor to
obtain jury composed of men capable of rem
dering fair verdict after hearing the evidence,

The Tribune takes unusual satisfaction in
being the first to announce that, through the
enterprise of number of our local capitalists,
regular line of Venetian gondolas will be
placed upon the principal streets of our city
early in the coming week. The new coupes
and Herdics, having proved unworthy, resort
has been had to the expedient above men,
TONED. The gondolas will be of the most
approved pattern, with swans-neck PROV and
a pink silk pavilion, after the manner of the
craft as seen in the ordinary chrome.
Starting from Bridge square on
the even hours, the fleet will
move up Hennepin and Nicollet avenues
whenever the wind is favorable and the sea
not to rough. The line for Washington ave-
nue. will be delayed for a matter of ten days,
while special anchor cables are being manu-
factured of sufficient length to reach bottom
in case of stress Of weather. The gondolas
will stop at all landings which are within fonr
feet of the surface. Passage tickets can be
had from anyone of the street commissioners,
