"The Queens Lace Handkerchief"

Grau's English Opera company gave
splendid Interpretation of Strauss
"Queen's Lace Handkerchief al the
opera-house last night to only a fair, but
thoroughly appreciative audience. In
TACT, nothing has appeared upon the
boards this season that has given moro
genuine pleasure to those present. This
famous comic opera is full of sparkling
dialogue and catchy music, the choruses
especially being resonant with mel
ody. The entire company, not
wlthstanding serious drawbacks,
caused by illness of several of
the more prominent members did ex-
ceedingly well, and the frequent and
hearty applause accorded throughout
lhe performance is evidence that if the
Queens Lace llankerchiet7' il pro-
duced in Dallas again this season, n
larger and hence moro remuneratiye
audience can surely be promised them.
MISS BESSIE Gray, the charming little
prima donna Of the company, sustained
the leading role in a manner entirely
creditable to herself and to
the satisfaction of the au-
dience. She is native
of Mobile, Alabama, and is the happy
possessor of one of the clearest and most
correct voices IN the ranks of opera
boufie singers. She achieved much
popularity, when she appeared before a
Dallas audience for tho first time last
season. and her singing and acting last
night, in spite of tho fact that she was
was so i'll all yesterday, that she was
scarcely able to take part in the performs

larity. Mr. Herman Waldo, the
tenor of the company, was
too sick TO appear, and "Don Ceryantes, -
the part IN which he was cast, was taken
by Mr.. Frank Kentworthy, one of the
chorus singers, who sustained the
character with much credit. Mr.. Joseph

his comicalities and splendid bass sing.
ing, and was one of the main features Of
the opera. Miss Helen Cooper, as
donna Irene, the Queens Confidante,n
also came in for share of
merited applause, While her voice
is not as pleasing to the oar as one
could wish, it is cultivated, and she il
so attractive as to physique that other
detects are overlooked. There is moth
ing coarse or objectionable in "Tho
Queens Lace Handkerchief" but TO the
contrary it is n comic opera well worth

That Polygamy Army Trial.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 3l.-The Connolly

ST.. LoUis, Oct. 3l.-The cutting of

1t is said, threatens open war. The
usual eut is from $24.25 to $l7, but tick

THE STATEMENTS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-When the New
York Central to-day reduced its pas
senger rates to Chicago, from $l6l0 to
$1,000 the West Shore road promptly
reduced it, rates to $3.50, observing the
detlerential allowance. The West Shore
claims to be entitled to make
this detterentiai allowance, by
the sanction of tho pool
commissioners and promises to keep its
rate Sl.50 below that of the New York
Central. The New York Central, on
the other hand, threatens to follow
every cut made by its competitors. Bro
kers say if the West Shore does not
carry out its promise they will force il
to do so, oven at their own loss, by re.
ducing the rates over other lines; but
they have not yet begun selling below
the rates asked at regular offices. IL
looks now as il another reduction may
be made at any moment.
THE ERIE CUTS ALSO.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-The Erie has
met the cut Of the New York Central by
selling tickets to Chicago at $3.50. All
these prices are for first.class, second

Yesterday Times-Democrat reporter
called on Gen. Leon Jastremski, presi-
dent of the Democratic state central
committee, and questioned him in re-
gard to the foundation of the renorts
concerning the alleged plan of tho Re
pIblicans TO repeat in Louisiana the
methods pursued by Lot Wrights bull
doing negro deputy marshais in Cu-
cinnati. Inc general stated that he
paid no heed TO the danials made
bp the Republican officials in this
city, we expected this. In giving
publicity to this Information, he
said he had done So ON the receipt of n
warning from Il gentleman of this city,
| OF high standing, in whose veracity he
placed every confidence, but whose
name he did not wish to make publir
until he had obtained his permission To
do so. The gentleman referred to was
in Cincinnati on the eve of the last cleo
ton there, aud witnessed the mastering
OF the negro deputy marshals brought
rom Kentucky and other states, who,
on the day of election, armed with
English bulldog revolVers, made Dem

further, that the report was current
around the Republican headQuarter that
the force that operated at Cincinnati
was to DO transported to New Orleans.
The general said he had received pri
waite dispatches contrmatory of the
ABOVE statement, and on last Saturday,
he also received letter from the chair
man of the Democratic state committee
OF Tennessee, affirming that negroes
we're passing through and leaving Nash
vile, bound for Louisiana, and that the
Republicans hNd designs on this state.
From this information, Gen. JAS
tremskie said no felt it TO he his duty to
warn tho people of these aggressive ele-
ments of the Republican party, which he
believes are prompted by their desire to
create disturbances, with the object of
giving some substance to the bloody
shirt campaign recently started by
Mr.. Blaine. He could not account, he
said, for the virtuous indignation that is
being displayed by Republican officials
here, when it is borne in mind that the
Cincinnati election was the most out
rageous ever witnessed in this country.
The past history of the Republicans In
Louisiana, does not show that they are
more scrupulous than Lott Wright and
his worthless have proven themselves.
