the Mikado paper bearing the name of
a criminal Just despatched, and the lat

But, at any rate, we have seen and
heard The Mikado. 1t will hereafter be
done more generously and more in ac-
cordance with the stage directions of
the author, but we much doubt that it
will ever go with more spirit and cause
more enthusiasm in an audience. The
frequent repeats heightened out the
performance until past II O'Clock. But
there was not a tedious moment during
the whole evening.
Without doubt, The Mikado is going
to prove the most popular opera that
ever Gilbert and Sullivan have written.
1t has the same quality as Pinafore of
being instantly understood. The music
is the tunefulest that DR.. Sullivan has.
so far, written. There is not a poor
numbe in the score, and the musical
surprises are frequent. Even without
the music it would prove to be a rat
Ting farce. Indeed, the whole is so
good.that before the season is over it
is safe to say the opera will be given all
over the country to good business. In
this respect The Mikado will equal Pin
afore.-Crjtic Of the Times.

Fast Type-Setting.

NEW YORK, June 5.-When Geo. Arnes-
berg set 2, O64 solid ems of Minion type in
one hour on February 18th, 1870, it was
chronicled all over the world, as mar
velous feat, and he was called the wizard
of the composing stick. But yesterday
this achievement was cast into the shade
by the performances of JOS. Mccain, of
the New York Herald, and Ira Somers, of
the New York World, both of whom set
over 5000 ems in three hours, in con-
test for wager of $3.50. The match took
place in the Star Office. The conditions
were solid Minion without paragraphs,
each competitor to correct his own com.
position at the end of the work one line to
be deducted from the work performed for
each minute or fraction therefore con-
sumed in correcting.
Joseph Mccain set $3.50 in the three
hours, which, averaged up, would beat
Arnesberg's record, but outside time
keepers said that he did nearly 1900 ems
in the first hour. Somers set 6,022 in
three hours, and is credited with doing
over 2,100 in the first hour. Mccain lost
twelve minutes and thirty seconds in cor
recting his matter, for which he was
mulcted 325 ems. Somers took eleven
minutes and thirty seconds to correct his
proof, and for this 800 ems We're deduct
ed, so that the official figures are 6,025
for Mccain and 5,772 for Somers. Nc
Cam beat the record by $50 ems. Som ers
suffered from nervousness.

A BIG HAUL.

The Assistant Treasurer st New Orleans
v1ctimized to the Extent of About $780,
600 by Trusted Subordinate, Who
Makes Tracks for Mexico.
NEW ORLEANS, La, June 6.-The EN-.
bezzlement of sub-Treasury funds by
Redemption Clerk John Aufdemorte,
was not known in this city till yesterday,
and caused great excitement in official
circles. 1t is not known yet what is the
extent of his shortage, but it is now be-
lieved that it will not exceed $50, 600. A
deficit of $4,000 had been discovered
yesterday morning. 1t will require
count of the entire cash in
the vaults, and it is believed
that Aufdemorte's populations are not
confined to the redemption department
alone, but that he has filched large sums
from the vaults. Color is given to this
theory by the discovery of forged certif-
icates of deposit in his desk, which no
had evidently intended to use when the
shortage was discovered. The statement
from Washington that other employees
are probably connected with the steal is
not believed here. The investigation
has shown nothing so far to
support such a theory, and Assistant
Treasurer Herwig is confident that Auf.
demorte is the only defaulter. The lat
ter's disappearance was well-timed, and
little hope IS entertained of his capture.
The investigation began Decoration Day,
which was half-holiday, and followed by
Sunday. Aufdemorte assisted in the
count and when the office was closed at
noon started home. 1t is believed he
proceeded Immediately to the Texas
Pacific depot and took a train for
Laredo, in which case he is now
we'll on his way to the City OF Mexico,
or is leisurely awaiting developments
just across the border to gain further
time. He wrote q note to Herwig, which
was delivered Monday, stating he was
unwell and had started for Biloxi. The
shortage was not discovered till Mon
day afternoon, when it was too late to
overtake the fugitive. Herwig be-
lieves Aufdemorte stole large sum of
money Saturday while the investigation
was proceeding. Herwig is quite wealthy,
and will probably protect his bondsrnen

NEW ORLEANS, La, June Son the
morning of May Sd Milton L. Mckay,
living near Lakesville, in Green County,
Mississippi, a man OF high standing there,
while riding to church in his buggy with
his two little boys, aged eight and twelve
years, was met about three miles from his
home by an unknown man and
killed, being riddled with buck
shot. The boys rode on with
their fathers body to neigh
boris, and gave the alarm. A large body
of citizens congre gated, and, led by the
Sheriff, they secured the country far
and wide for the assassin. David J. Fair
ly, neighbor of Mckay, who had form
erly stood well in the community, was
suspected of the crime, and was ar
rested and lodged in Jail when he came
to Lakesville ON May 9th. There was
strong talk of lynching at the time, but
the Sheriff defeated the project by keep
ing constant guard over the jail. Fairly'S
lawyers recently made application for his
release on a writ of habeas corpus. and
the case was to have been tried yester-
day, but as the lawyers were coming to
court they learned that mob of twenty
five masked men, fearing that Fairly was
about to be released, surrounded the
Jail, overcame the guards after
desperate fight, took Fairly from the
Jail and hung him to an oak tree about
hundred feet from the Jail. Nine of the
lynching party were known, and as Fairly
has many friends a very exciting time
may shortly be expected in Greene
County.

BAYARD AT COLUMBIA.

Tho Reception of the Secretary OF state
With Music and ArtiIlery-The dwelling
Of the jefferson ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Response to y Call-OR TO Kansas.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, June 5.-The special
train on the Wabash Road, bearing Sec
rotary Bayard and Senator Vest, Messrs.
Fay, s. B. Eads, and H. T., Kent, of
st. Louis, arrived at nine O'Clock yes
terday morning. AS the train pulled in
the cadets fred a salute of seventeen
guns. The party were met at the depot
by a reception committee consisting OF
Mayor Woodson, Messrs. E. Stevenson,
j. w. Moss, A. o. Hockaway and Geo.
w. Trimble, and conducted to carriages
and escorted to the residence of DR..
Laws by a procession headed by the
Jefferson Barracks Military Band.
Secretary Bayard was introduced by
Senator Vest, and Major James S. Roll
Inns made a short speech of welcome.
Mr. Bayard bowed his Acknowledgements
and entered the residence for a few MIN
utes' rest, during which time the grad
uating class, members of the faculty and
the cadets formed an escort to accom-
panv the party to the chapel, in which the
commencement exercises were to be con-
Quoted and the Jefferson Monument un-
yelled. Fully 5000 people witnessed the
reception.
After the commencement exercises
were over Senator Vest delivered an ora
ton at the unwilling of the monu ment.
Bayard was then loudly called for.
He was introduced by DIR. Laws, who
explained that the Secretary was not
HI re under the promise of an address.
The Secretary began by complimenting
the institution in which he stood. He
referred to the unwilling ceremonies,
and said it was fitting that Missouri,
the granddaughter of Virginia, should
inherit the monument of Jefferson, who
gave her soil to the Union. He wished
to round out some ideas Senator Vest
had advanced in reference to the rcla-
tions existing between Jefferson and
Hamilton when they held positions in
Washington's Cabinet. Mr.. Vest had
referred to the bitter antagonism of the
two men. The Secretary said:
SAT the time Jefferson aud Burr were
candidates for the Presidency, Ha milton
saw a crisis pending and advised the rep
resentatives of Delaware to vote for JET
ferson. The gentlemen from Delware
did SO, and turned the scale, making JET
ferson President. He was grand enough
to set aside party prejudices when the
country called, and 1 am glad most Amer
leans are. Not long ago a majority of
the people thought they had been wronged
in an election decision and were sorely
tempted to rebuke the election fraud
thought to have been perpetrated on
them by rising in their might to inaugu-
rate the man who was the choice of SO
large majority. But the love of our
beautiful country lifted them above party
feelings and soothed their mitigation.
National safety should always be our first
care and party demand should ever
be made subservient to the welfare of the
Union"
The party left yesterday evening. The
Secretary has every cause to feel proud
of his reception here, and his visit will
not soon be forgotten by the people.

honey, which the servant gave her four
sons for dinner. Almost as soon as they
had eaten it they complained of blindness
and dizziness. In ten minutes one

of the affair had reached Mrs. Dukes.
Her entire family were just experiencing
the first symptoms of the trouble from
which the negroes had died. DR.. Orr was

family was saved after great

were similarly affected, and it was only
by energetic work that there were not

has been the cause of many deaths here.
