THE OPERA HOUSE.
A Meeting of b Stockholders and
Trustees Yesterday.

Pursuant to announcement made some
weeks ago the stockholders and trustees
of the Opera House Company held a
meeting in the Territorial Library yester-
day afternoon.
Matters of general interest were pre-
scented to the stockholders and subse-
quently the trustees met and elected the
officers for the ensuing year. The follow
ing are the trustees:
F. f. Warren, T. Dyer, George L.
Holt, ]. NJ. Carey, 0. F. Cowhick, H.
Altman, NJ. Z. Post, Thomas Sturgis, G..
W. Riner.
Tho officers selected were: +. E. War
rem, President; George i. Holt, Vice
President; G. W, Riner, Secretary; H.
Altman, Treasurer.
Messrs. NJ. E. Post, F. E. Warren and
George L. Holt were appointed as the
executive committee. The books of the
company show S4s9 now on hand, and a
floating indebtedness of IS, 800. The af-
fairs Of the company are well in hand and
it was clearly established that the Opera
House is holding its own. The repairs
and improvements made during the
past Summer have caused the
greater part Of the present floating indebt-
edness. A new roof was placed on the
building, the floor of the parquet was
raised, new upholstered chairs were pur-
chased and other Improvements were
made.
The matter of frescoing the interior was
referred to, but it was decided to pest
pone any further expense until the pres
ent Indebtedness was reduced.
The matter of the management of the
Opera House was incidentally introduced
and it is probable that bids will be adyer-
tised for, the basis of the letting of the
management being upon a given price per
night for the use of the Opera House and
Library Hall.
1t is a matter Of con~gratulation to know
that the investment in the Opera House
has not been a disastrous one. 1t was not
expected that the enterprise would be q
paying N for several years, but it is
even now steadily paying the indebtedness
and III a very short time cannot fail to pay
dividends. The enterprise was an exper-
iment, but its success is no longer a mat
ter of uncertainty.

The John F. Reynolds Post No. 80,
Grand Army of the Republic, will give a
ball on the evening of February %, for
the benefit Of their monument fund. The
Post will soon erect 4 fine monument in
honor of departed comrades, and it is de-
sired to obtain, by means Of this enter
tainment, sufficient money to make the
erection of the monument possible with
out causing too great a burden for the
Post to carry. Members of the Grand
Army generally, and also the Sons of Vet
Grams, will doubtless participate in the
ball, and the event can hardly fail to be a
success.

MeIville's Relic.

Have you seen Melville's Siberian relic
from New York, / met Lieutenant
Schuetze in the Paymaster's office, 20
Broadway, on February 4, 1882, just as
he was starting to join Harder in London
to 20 to the Lena for the bodies of De
Loug and his associates. ! gave him a
bottle Of brandy and bottle of whisky
for his own use, and bottle of whisky
for my old shipmate and friend, George
Melville. After he and Harber left
Irkutsk on Monday, March Goth, l
watched the Tribune closely, for knew
it was giving the best Information on the
Jeannette matter, until observed that
Schuetze and Harber had passed Mel
vile between Irkutsk and Yakutsk with
out seeing him. l was in Florida for my
health when Sohpetze and Harber re-
turned on the Frisia on February Goth.
Judge of my surprise when l received
this note from Melville few days ago:
II am in receipt Of the bottle Of whisky
you sent to me to Siberia by Schuetze,
who, true to his trust, delivered the bot
lie with the original whisky, to me
aboard the Frsia upon his return home. ="
Schuetze carried that bottle 5000 miles
by sea, over II 900 miles on the sledge
journeys, and about 4500 miles by rail
Ia order to give it to Melville.-Henry

The Hottest Spot on Earth
catholic Herald.


One Of the hottest regions of
the earth is along the Persian
gulf, where little or no rain falls.
At Bahrin the arid shore has no
fresh water; yet comparatively
numerous population contrives TO
live there, thanks to the copious
springs which burst forth froM
the bottom of the sea. The fresh
water is got by diving. The
diver, sitting in his boat, winds u
great goat-skin bag around his
left arm, the hand grasping It's
mouth; then he takes in his hand
a heavy stone, to which is attached
a strong line, and thus equipped,
he plunges in and quickly reaches
the bottom. Instantly opening
the bag over the strong jet Of
fresh water, he springs up the
ascending current, at the same
time closing the bag, and is
helped ON board. The stone is
then hauled up, and the diver.
after taking breath, plunges i'll
again. The source of these copious
submarine springs is thought to
be in the green hills OF Osman,
some 500 or 600 miles distant.
