Mr.. G. N. Nichols, announced the death of
Miss Anna Rice, first pupil and later, up to
the time Of her last illness, one of the most
valued ard efficient of the corps of teachers

under such circumstances, cast gloom over
the circle with which the deceased had been
connected, but not SO in this case. While
mourning because of the loss sustained, the
class taught BY Miss Rice, and the entire
school as well, had and would ever have
pleasant memories of the lady as she appeared
among them, and could rejoice thar, released
from pain and suffering, she had entered tri-

We VIII Have q Little Opera.

The Emma Abbott Opera Company is on
its triumphal tour to New York, where it
started last tall with the largest and best or.
ganization that has ever taken the road.
From that city to San Francisco, and recently
through the South, its course has been
marked by series of ovations which has
scarcely been equalled even by the great
Italian companies. 1t is proud fact to
Americans that their own prima donna has
few equals in the world Of music, and it is a
delightful fact that always in her company
are heard some of the best artists that appear
in opera. With such famous ones as BeIllni,
Annandale, Castle, Fabrini, Tagliapietra,
Broderick, Allen and others scarcely less ex-
cellent, there is no opera in its great repertory
that does not have an adequate and a
powerful cast. These facts are borne
out by the united testimony of the
press wherever they have been. The
New York World says: "It is company
all stars" The Journal says: ats ensemble
excels the top-heavy Italian ,roupes." The
Chicago News says: sit is the best English
organization since the day when Parepa
planted herself at the head of English opera"
The San Francisco Chronicle says: at has
created an operatic craze" aud the Calves
ton News says: ats appearance here pro-
duced musical furore.''
The entire company will be here next
Monday and appear in Blacks Opera House,
which is being renovated for this particular
occasion. The opera will be "Mignon," and
all three prima donnas, Abbot, Belliui and
Annandale will be heard in it, besides Castle,
Frederick, Allen, and Others Reserved seats
will be placed on sale next Thursday morn
ing, and the prices, notwithstanding the cost
illness and magnifcence of the attraction, will
be so cents, IS cents, 81 and ST. rs, according
to location. This will not only be the finest
attraction yet offered this season, but it is
one of the greatest companies now on the
road, and carries its own orcht st,a and cho-
rus complete.

The meeting of the Woman's Union Mis-
sionary Society Saturday afternoon was one
of the most largely attended and, in interest
manifested and advance work accomplished.
one Of the most practical and effective yet
held, all city churches but two being repre-
sented. Mrs. R. Q King, the president, oc-
cupied the chair and the sec, etary, Miss Mary
Clokey, reported proceedings. The session
was devoted to discussion and arrangement
OF plans of work for the next year. 1t was
decided the churches should retain the same
districts as heretofore, and instead OF visiting
throughout the city generally, confne vista
tions to those families not connected in any
way with either of the city churches,
and which therefore may be regarded as in
need OF spiritual work. Also to hold prayer
meetings with the sick and in other ways
systematic and centrslize the work more,
hoping for larger results. Mrs. Guy, from
the Benevolent Society, wss present with a
proposition under which the Missionary So
ciety is to operate in unison with the other
and il was decided to cooperate with the
Benevolent Society i'll directions and through
agencies pointed out. Another enterprise
that is to be assisted is the newsboys' school,
which is to be built up and Its scope enlarged.
The dis ribution of religious literature is to
be made yet more OF a specially, as by
it families and individuals can pe
reached who could not be, at
least so efficiently, in any other way.
The list OF directors of the society is not
yet complete, tor the reason that the Presi-
dents Of the various church missionary organ
izations constitute the directors of this and
they have not all been chosen at this time.
For that reason officers, with exception of
President and Secretary, have not been elect
ed yet. Mrs. R. Q. King was reelected
President Tor the year. and Miss E. W. Bush
nell was elected Secretary, Miss Clokey de-
clining reelection, expecting to be absent
from the city great part of the year just
commencing. The ladies feel greatly en-
couraged by the results of work done 80 far
and by the prospects for the future.
