A PRIESTESS' LOVE.
Story of Norma's Passion and Criticism
of ITS PORTRAYAL.

Story of NOrma's Passion and u Criticism
of ITS Portrayal.
Bellini's opera Norma was presented at Tur-
ner hall by the Angela Peralta company last
evening The plot is simple but attractive.
Norma, Il yestal virgin of the Druids, has been
dshonored by PoliaE, u Roman pro consul, and
two children, which she secretly rcars, are
fruits of her dishonor. She becomes Grand
Priestess, and Adalgisa, vestal virgin, tells
the story of her own love, and ultimately tells
Norma that her beloved is Polian. In her
rage, Norma attempts to kill her children, but
is prevented by AdalgiSa. She imporeS POlian
to return to her. On his refusal, she avOws her
dishOnor, and is condemned to death for breach
of her VOWS. Polians manhood is then touched
and he elects to die with her.
OF SignOra Peraltas representation OF Norma,
one must write in high praise. Possessed of Al
very powerful and flexible voice, combined
with considerable tragic force, she invested
the character with more than ordinary inter
est. Her lines were sung with the ease of Il
true artistic, and she was rewarded with fire.
quent bursts of applause. SignOra Zeppili dc
Villain as AdalglSa was most excellent sup
port. Her clear and powerful meZZO soprano,
forcible and pathetic, was heard to advantage
and her admirable stage presence served to add
considerable attraction to the character. Signor
GiordanO as POlian was decided
| success. He has good stage presencG and
considerable dramatic power. His voice is OF
the tenor robuStO character and lacks some
whatln culture, but he sang remarkably well
and was frequently applaIIded. The baritone
voice of Signor Bologna, who mpersOnated
the grand priest, was much admired. The
chOruscS were in many respects faulty, but the
band, under SignOr Chavez Aparicos dIrec-
ton, admirably executed the instrumental
music.
As a whole the opera was well presented, but
it was dspiriting to see so many empty chairs
in view of the performers.
Vcrdi's opera of Ernani will be produced
this evening.

Communicated
Good Word i'm Behalf of Signora Peralta
and He.. COmpaDy

SignOra Angela Perata, the great Mexican
nightingale, and her excellent company, rem
dered the opera Norma last night at Turner
hall to a small but appreciativc audience.
The only reasonable explanation that can be
given for the small audiences this company has
attracted here is that this is our Lenten season
and the high prices for tickets, which no doubt
have prevented many from attending even
once, so they do not realize what they are miss
ing. IL was bad management i'm the first place
TO put the prices so HIGH but when prices are
once established in a place an artist cannot,
during that engagement, lower them without,
as they term ii, lowering Their standard. They
would rather sing griltlitously than do this.
San Antonio is musical place and we are a
music loving people, but it is sad to say we do
Geistinger and Abbie Darlington, and when
the great Peralta comes, who stands head and
shoulders over any Prma Donna who ever APP
pearcd before San Antonio audience, we let
her sing to empty chairs. II must be that our
musical ear is bPcOming demOraliZed, or as
we said before, the high price for seats has
kept people away and we do not realize what
we are missing.
The leading tenor, baritone and contralto
are iirSt-class and possess fresh and true voices
SignOra Peralta is worthy to rank with such
of her nation and has during her career scored
grand triumphs in all the principal EuroDean
cities. She possesses a voice of exquisite
purity and sweetness with a sympathy that
rayishes. and while it can charm i'm all the
tender and delicate passages can also thrill
with its power and dramatic fire. This company
will render Verdi's opera, Emani, tonight, and
let all lovers of good music be present. III ey
will never regret II.

MILITARY DRILLS,
Assistant Adjutant General Vincent Orders
Their commencement.


A. istant AdjGtant General Vincent has in
struCted commanding officers in the military
department of Texas to issue orders for the
commencement of yearly drills. "The great
improvement in firearms and the increased
skill and efficiency in their use," says General
Vincent, 'has given an individual importance
to the soldier and to his personal training.
never before considered necessary. Hitherto
he has been regarded and instructed as one of
mass, and the object has been to make the
mass effective, rather than the individuals
composing it. Long range rifles, in skillful
hands, have, except in a moral sense, de-
stroyed the value of the old CANTON
airy precept of "elbow to elbow"
The soldier must now be taught
that, within certain limits, he must think and
act for himself. He must be thoroughly in
structed in the knowledge and efficient use of
his guh-its sights, ranges, imperfections and
the manner of overcoming them, the manner
of determining ranges, how to take advantage
OF ground and cover, not only to protect HIM
self but to increase his aggressiveness-not
forgetting. at the same time, the fact that he is
but one OF a number striving for the same end.

system, OF which he is unit, and to which he
must conform.
"For cavalry and infantry, therefore, target
practice, and the open order or skirmsh drill.
should receive special attention-the former
in conformity to existing orders, and the latter
conformably to the tactics'of their respective
arms, to the extent prescribed and provided
for them.
"At the next and all future inspections. the
Department Inspector will, in his presence.
require every othcer to drill his proper COM
mand, and should he find any officer net pro-
hcient therein, or showing neglect or indiffer-
ence, he will make special report in the
case for the action of higher authority.
Captains and Lieutenants will drill COM
panies, and field officers battalions, when one
OF their own arm of service is included in their
command.
'At all drills, of whatever description. and
at target practice, all officers on duty with
their companies will attend, and perform their
prescribed duties in connection Herewith. .

GALVESTON, TEXAS, March Righteous
indignation and sorrow is felt over the tragedy
recently enacted at the close of performance
at the opera house where the Sheriff of Fort
Bend county, Mr.. Blakely, accidentally killed
Mr.. c. E. Douglas, gentleman from Crock
EFT, residing here. Both were at the theatre,
and at the close Of the performance both rose
from their seats, when the pistol fell from
Blakely's hip pocket, sending its murderous
bullet into the groin of Mr.. Douglas, who
staggered forward, exclaiming that he was
shot. Mr.. Spencer, he manager of the house,
thought him in Jest, but noticing him about to
| fall, lowered him gently to reclining posi-
ton. The lady, Mrs. DIR. Rutherford, of
Houston, whom Mr. Douglas had accompa-
MED ihither, left him Immediately, certainly an
unnatural and strange proceeding. Gentle
men friends and physicians stayed with him,
and did all that could be done to relieve his
agony, but the shock was too great, natures
forces were overcome and his spirit passed
away at $40 O'Clock that morning after he
had been conveyed to the fremont hotel His
remains were forwarded to his home in Crock
EFT. What an inexpressibly sad fate ! and all
the work of the murderous pistol, carried like
a pet plaything in the hip pocket. Mr..
Blakey must of course feel heartfelt sorrow,
and it is right that he should, and moreover
he should express it in some tangible
form to the grief stricken family. If
the Legislature of the State would pass
law making it penitentiary offense to
carry weapons on the person, this sad event
would be the means of saving future

shameless way. Who among us are safe,
while men, officers or not, are allowed to
carry deadly weapons in their pockets? Com

Mr.. Blakely was arrested and charged only
with the offense of carrying pistol into the
opera house. He has been released, giving
bond for.S5oo to appear before the Criminal
court in answer to the above charge.
Independence day, the and of March, was
not observed in general sense here, yet the
display of bunting was sufficient of itself to
cause inquiry as to its meaning, while the
courts were closed, and the children of the
public schools and their teachers were given
the day for recreation and patriotic reflection,
if they chose thus to use it.

For the Happiness Of Home.
From a Clergyman's Home Comes a
Message Containing the Wisdom
of EXncrience

Home is the centre of the social system From
it proceed the best and purest influences felt in
the world, and towards it gravitates the tendereSt
hopes of humanity For it all good men labor
while their working days last, and around it
their last thoughts linger lovingly when those
days are done.
Yet home does not usually approach in practice
its own ideals. The mother is overtaxed with
household duties and the rearing and training OF
her children, while the father fights the outside
battle to win the wherewithal to meet expenses.
Sooner or later care and toll leave their marks.
1t is true enough, as Kingsley sings in the Three
Fishers" that
Men must work, and women must weep"
but too much working and weeping brush all the
| bloom from lifes fruit.
Mental anxiety and lack of rest and pleasure
the need of ~ trustworthy tonic to give help and
| strength in times of need. Among the good
women of the land who have found such a sure
anchor is Mrs A. C. George, wife of Rev. A. c.
George, ID. D., pastor of the Centenary NJ. f.
