To digress somewhat, We have had a
delightful week of Opera by the Boston
Ideal Company" and Ford's Opera House
has been filed to its utmost CAPACITY
for twelve consecutive nights. Salvini, the
monarch of the tragic stage, comes 10 fill his
engagement here this week, and those who
have laughed with Lolita, smiled serenely over
the delicate satire of Patience or wandered
with Rosalind mid the green shades of Arden
forest may prepare to break their hearts afresh
over the woes of hapless Desdenona and
shudder when the serpent Gngs of ingratitude
rend the kingly soul of Lear. Salvini has of
late disputed with Booth the lauTels so LONG
Wore unquestioned and unapproached and
those who have meyer seen him are eagerly
waiting his advent. After Salvin "the Deugen
or at least Lent comes and the tired votary
of pleasure and of fashion will have breath
ing spell and time to rest her wings ere the
summer campaign at SEA side or watering
place begins.
We promise you glimpse through the ex-
lies spectacles Of Salyini triumph and what
ever else the kaleidoscope may reveal as it
revolyes on another hebdomadal round.
Till then adieu. A.M.W.

Gdthrie,a prosperous young farmer, was mar
ried 10 Miss Huda Martin. A large company
was present at the wedding, which was sol
emnized at the esdence OF the brides father.
Owing to bad weather the guests remained at
tire mansion all night. This morning, when
they had assembled, at the breakfast table, it
was remarked thlt the bride and groom were
late in coming. Suddenly the shrieks of a
woman were heard, and the startled guests
fastened into the hail, where they met the
bride OF a night, who cried: INV husband
Oh, my husband p When she awoke this
morning she found her husband dead by her
side. She is almost insane from grief

the fabulous sum of 1913 100000, is said to be
coming to the heirs OF DR.. John Brosius, of

The New Cansux

WASHINGTON, February THE original
estimate for the preparation of the census
was three millions of dollars. Nearly five
and three-luarter millions have already
been voted for the work, and before it will
be completed the estimate will be more
than doubled.
The promises of more prompt, more
perfect, as well as a more economical, work
than any preceding census have not been
kept. Political influence dominated too
much in the choice of subor1inates, and
incompstency in different branches has re.
suited in glaring blunders.
Specialists have aired their notions to
the disadvantage OF q practical, uniform
and valuable census, so that now, on the
eve of publication, thousands of pages have
been abandoned as worthless by consent OF
the Superintendent. This process Of elm
inatiOn might be carried still further with
the certainty of improvement.
