Pacific Mail and the Government.
New York, Aug. IA Worlds
Washington special says: 1t is
stated at the Postoffice Department
that the efforts of the Pacific Mail
Company to shift the responsibility
for delaying the mails upon the
shoulders Of Uncle Sam are not to
be tolerated. kilograms were
sent to the managers Of the COM
pany asking them If they would
transport the mails at the old rates..
and they promptly answered in the
negative. Now they let the i'm
preston go out that they never re-
fused to carry the mails. The De-
partment may make the correspon-
dence public in order to put stop
to some of the stories being cir
culated by the subsidy lobby. No
further trouble is anticipated by
the department in getting good SER
vice in these matters, but under no
circumstances will consent be given
for the diversion of the Congress
ional appropriation from the specific
purpose for which it was made.

GRAND OPENING OF THE NEW OPERA
Monday evening, in accordance with
the announcement previously mace, the
new Opera House was opened, WITH a
concert by home talent, under direction en'
of DR.. Thos. Phillips. A very select
audience, lovers of the artistic and thu
musical, assembled to enjoy the new hall
and the fine entertainment prepared FOL
them.
On entering the Opera House, the eye
of the old resident was forcibly strucs
with the wonderful transformation which
had been effected in the appearance OF

II. F. Silloway, of Minneapolis. The
floor had been raised with gentle slope
feet and 10 inches, to an elevation
slightly higher than the floor of the stage
The stage presents fine appearance from
every part of the hall. On either side
was box elegantly furnished with cur
tains and finely Ornamented. The scenery
was of the best style, and painted by Mr.
Clausen, the we'll known scenic artist OF
the Grand Opera House of Minneapolis:
The hall is beauty, and as was remarked
by many, there was not poor seat IN II
We think we are safe in claiming the
finest opera house, IN every respect, IN al
Southern Minnesots.
The entertainment was opened by
brief address from Rev. Stanley, who
commented on the good service the syndi
cate had done for Austin in rebuilding
the hall; complimented the workmen
Mr.. Silloway and Messrs. Clausen g
Christesen, for the honest, faithful andd
skillful service they had rendered, and
urged the citizens to cooperate in keep
ing the opera hall neat, and in depressing
all tendencies to disorder of every kline
in our entertainments. He also announc
been offered suitable compensation fol
their services, they had declined, and 50
dependence must be had upon volunteer
talent. We are glad to say the audience
had no occasion for regret.
DR.. Phillips then conducted, with few
variations, the program as announced ir
the printed invitations.
The choruses of thirty voices were very
fine, and the singers received many com
pliments.
Miss Sophia Anderson sang a solo
