The bill against polygamy has become law.
The supreme penalty is the forbidding of any
polygamist from holding Office or voting at

of devising some evasion of the law, and that
polygamy in fact, under some other name. in
some form, will continue to be
practiced. It remains for the an

An Ohio teacher Of forty years. expericr &c
calls for reforms in the country schools of
that state He says that the teachers Are
changed too often in the ungrsded schools.
while on the other hand the graded schools of
the cities keep good teachers when thew get
them. It therefore follows that all the really
good teachers Of the state grayitate toward
the graded schools. He concludes by saying
that the remedy lies not SO much ia higher
wages, though that is necessary, as in perm..
nent employment. Let the teacher feel that
he ia not wandering star, bat that he has
come to stay, and he will soon develop per.

Performance Last Evening by the Ford
English Comic Opera Company.

Thcatre-gOcrs missed a treat who stayed
away from Turner hall last night because they
had seen 1.-The Mascot performed several times
this season by other companies. Altogether
the performance by the Ford company was
the best Miss Blanche Chapman and Mr.. Drew
were frequently recalled for their rendition of
the gobblc-SOng, and Miss Chapman received
merited applause for her singing Lets be OF"
in the third act.
Miss EisSings Country Lad was greeted
with rapturouS applause During the per-
fOrnance she brought down the house by ac-
cidcntally kicking her dainty Louis QuatorZe
bottine among the audience. Her makeup
was simple and showed the contour
of her beautiful form to advantage.
Miss Annie Meyers rendered little solo in the
opening of the second act that gained for her
considerable praise. She has peculiar voice,
but it is even and pleasing. Louis Carlbcrg's
bass was almost perfect. During the "Orang
Outang" song, in which prcdOmnating solo
was ceverly delivered by Miss Kissing, the lu-
dicrOuS appearance of Dcnham AS Lorenzo was
alone sufficient to provoke merrment. 1t is to
his efforts the admirable training of the chOris-
tiers is chiefly due "Bllcc Taylor" at matt
nee today and Patience" for the first time in
San Antonio, Tonight, with Miss Chapman in
the tite role.
