they will. The opera will be rendered in the
most artistic style.
That story Of the fire at the prison last win
ter is very good to tell. but it does not bear
examination. So also does the Joe Summers

out for Chief ShOrtall aud bis squad, as they
are having their eyes peeled to catch the
youngsters.
