ROBT. AAcCAIRD.

The cast Of Robert HacCaire will meet at
the residence Of Colonel Stewart, 1876 South
Main street, this evening at 8 o'clock, sharp,
for rehearsal.
It should be borne in mind that "Ermine"
is a COPYRIGHT play and no infringement is
intended on said copyright by the produc-
ton Of an opera similar in some respects.
libretto of Robert AacCaire, we are assured,
is far superior TO that of ''Ermine," at least
it will be so regarded by Wichita audience,
which as rule prefers side splitting com
edy to mediocre matter of fact drama
Col Stewart informed us yesterday that
he had purchased two hundred and fifty
opera chairs in Chicago. to be here by the
18th of January and that all the arrange
ments were made for stage and scenery in
the Garfield opera house The opera of
Robert Maccaire will be produced either in
the third or fourth week o January. What
has been known as Memorial Hall, has never
been formally opened as such for the reason
that it has never been completed, according
to the by laws on file with the secretary of
state at Topeka. With the completion of a
stage and scenery the design Of its origina-
tors will have been accomplished
1t will then be formally
opened to the public as Garfield Opera
House, by the production of Robert Mac
Caire,n under the management of Mr.. Fred
Dixon, by the best amateur talent of Wichi-
Ia The proceeds of this opera, except the
salary of the necessary professor employed
to make this play grand success, will be
used TO reimburse the old soldiers for their
outlay in giving the people of Wichita a
cosy opera house. There is no question about
it, but that the people will do full justice to
the enterprise displayed by the board Of di-
rectors of Garfield post association, in their
efforts to cater TO the public trustees. Don't
forget the rehearsal to..ight, all who have
been invited.

ANINsANE MANS FREAK.

about IL o'clock and after battering to
pieces some of the furniture in his room

A Covenant with the Animals.


There is something in the nature of q
covenant with the animals that do our
work and supply our tables and cover
our limbs. 1t is not only that they die
for us; they have ever lived for us, and
but for us they would never have been.
Nor is it consistent with civilized ideas
to parade the unchanged exterior of the
animals we are obliged to use. Wo
clothe our extremities with skins, but so
changed as never to suggest the sleek or
agile forms they once covered. vs.
fleece sheep for our clothes. but nothing
is less like flock of sheep than a crowl
of men. The cowhide, telling its own
tale, has long disappeared from even tho
trunk shop and has become curiosity
on railway platform.
Well, but how about ladies' muffs and
sealskin jackets? Civilization must con-
fess to them and leave the fair sex to
speak for itself. No doubt the lions skin
became Hercules, and the custom has
long since assimilated to our taste the
most outlandish creatures gracefully dis
posed over a fair form. But there is no
needless parade, or at least, so little that
we do not notice it. 1t is not so with
the assumption of plumage. The poor
bird is exhibited as whole rs possible.
Head, wings and tail are all shown a5
faithfully and fully as those of tho
hawk nailed to barn door. But the
most foolish fashion can always exceed
itself, and, bad as thing may be, there
is worsc.-Lonlon Times.

And memory sits and calls and calls
The fierce hope hugs the tombl
Loud calls the voices Of the stormi
The tempest Of the heart replies.
Upon the roof the rain drop falls,
And memory sits and calls and calls

Then heyl for the gay and gilded halls
And heyi for the heart that calls and

English as She should BE Sung.

Why not sing songs in English, and also
sing them In better English 1t is o
shame that, with the great wealth of En-.
glish poetry, so many composers prefer to
pour forth imitation German Leider, and
so many young students prefer to make
havoc in the Teutonic or Italian language,
rather than sing sensibly in their own
mother tongue. When these students dc
condescend to MARBLE in the vernacular
they disguise the language so that it can
not be understood. They have been told
that English is hard language TO sing in,
and therefore they mouth and distort
words under the mistaken impression
they are rendering IL easier.
The fact Is, the English requires little
more study to deliver duentiy than Ital.
ian; but, with practice upon the closed
vowels SER and "tle," "gle," and ing ter.
limitations the difficulties vanish and a
pure pronunciation is attained And this
is not nearly so difficult as for the German
singer to attain a good pronunciation Of
his gutturals or for the French vocalist tc
overcome the nasal tendencies OF his Ian
guage. Singers, give your own language
fair chance.-Musical World.

EXPERIMENTS IN eYe-PLANrINe.
Several Operations Which Were Not Sue

Several Operations Which Were Not Sue
cessful-A Rabbits Eye.
In May, 1885. DIR. Chilbert made the at
tempt to transplant living rabbits eye to.
the eye-socket OF q person. A girl OF II
years Of age had grape-swelling upon
her eye which made its removal necessary.
As soon as the eye was taken out the doc
tor instantly removed the rabbits eye,
leaving around the corner the narrow edge
of the hpature. Washing 1t in an anti
septic solution he then placed 1t in the eye
socket Of the patient, sewing the ligature
to that of the patients eye with few
stitches. The eye appeared TO live for
while, but the liquid flowed out, and the
operation was not success. The shell,
how syer, remained in its place, and looks
like the remains Of the hnman eye.
Soon after Terrier, Rohmer, and
finally Bradford, Of Boston, made
similar experiments. Terrier first OPP
Grated upon a strong, healthy man,
whose eye had been hurt by an acct
dent Instead Of removing the sclerotic-
the cell liquid which surrounds the eye
he kept II there, but in spite Of this pre-
caution the experiment failed The pa
VI was a NOHidh NJ gNeho
old. Instead Of q rabbits eye, this sur
geon took dogs eye for his experiment.
The result was less successful than that OF
the others, but the shell OF the eye re-
manned living several days, when, becom-
ing inflamed, Il was removed, fearing the
other eye might suffer from its presence.
Mr.. Bradford, of all the experimenters,
seems to have met with the most success.
He operated upon the eye Of sailor, who
for years had been troubled with an in
durable eye disease. Increasing the num-
Der of stitches in joining the lgatures, he
also succeeded in uniting the optic nerves
of the mans eye, and the rabbits, finish
ing with bandage over the eye, which
was not removed until the lapse of seven
days. At the end Of this time the eye
seemed pretty firm in its socket, but the
cornea appeared Opaque. Eighteen days
after the cornea became transparent, the
eye solid, and its movements natural The
operation was perfect success except in
one important particular.
As will be seen, eye-transplanting has
not reached the certainty Of surgical sue
cess, as when the eye is restored the
restoration Of the eyesight is out Of the
question, the operation merely replac-
ing lost eye with an animals
eye. The operations fall far below
the expectations the enthusiasts had
attached to them, so that the time when
We can change the color Of our eyes as we
can the color of our hair or the form of our
teeth has not yet arrived. However, 1t
may come, us the inventive spirit of man
is travelling upon various roads just at tbs
present time.-Foreign Letter.
