 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 At this opera house on Friday and Satur- day evening and Saturday afternoon the Tan nehill's Comedy company will appear in ''Fun on the Bristol" with Miss St. George Hussev, who will appear Widow O'Brien. An exchange says: This lady has been seen here in character specialties, but she gained new laurels as dramatic artist last night. Misses Fanny Francis and Maria Heath, as the widows daughters, did admirably, both being very fine singers. The rendering of a shy young girl in the specialties of the second act by Miss Heath was loudly applauded, as was Miss Bessie Cot trill's "Hush, Little Baby" Mir. Tannehill, as the Italian Count, and his comic sayings, fairly brought down the house. The per formance appeared to be appreciated by the immense audience present. and MT.

said Mr. Lockwood, the travelling agent OF
Falk, to me the other day, has grown
enormously within the last ten years. 1t has
become so great as To almost overshade pri-
vate trade. In fact, some photographers let it
do SO, which is to my mind, great mistake,
for if it is properly employed it can be used
to build up the custom of private people. Our
house and another gallery in New York en-
ploy agents-runners, you might call them
whose duty it is to be upon the streets and in
the theatres on the outlook for a pretty face
or some distinguished person whose portrait

ART WORK FOR NEWSPAPERS.

TeIegraPhinG Pieto - for Illustration.
The Process of rhoto-Engraving.
l see that the papers are printing descrip-
tions Of a new invention for telegraPhing pic
tures for illustration, and it is said that the
invention Is that of an Englishman named
Glenn Mr. Glenn's invention is by no means
new, and as long ago as 1880 Mr.. Stephen h.
Horgan, the then Photographic editor OF The
New York Graphic, invented and used a pro-
cess of picture chart telegraph by which he
was enabled To give an accurate picture OF
boat race on the Thames, near London, with
in few hours Of the time at which the race
was rOwed. The race came off at p. m in
London and the pictures of it were in the
IL 30 edition Of The Graphic. The difference
in time sufficed to receive the cablegram OF
twenty words required to explain by the
chart the different positions OF the boats and
to get up the cuts. 1t the quickest piece
of this kind of work yet done and doubt II
it has since been rivaled.
This Mr. Horgan who invented this process
is one of the brightest of the art newspaper
men of New York. He has charge of the
illustrated department of the American Press
Association, and he can write well as
sketch and photograph He began life as u
photographer, and was n travelling photog-
rapiter when one day man came ia to have
his picture taken He took it, and noticed
that the man looked at II very critically, ana
that he seemed to bc very inquisitive about
his instrument and his OF chemicals.
When he saw the finished photograph he gave
Mr. Horgan his address, and told him that if
ever he wanted to come to New York to call
upon him and nc would find place for him.
The time soon came, and he was employed in
the Bogarlus gallery.
When The Graphic was well under way a
competent photographer was needed, and Mr..
Hofgan was chosen out of "a large number of
applicants, though he was the youngest man
who asked for the place. He soon took
charge of the entire Photographic business of
The Graphic, and it was he who invented the
process of photo-lithography which is now
used by The Graphic, and the secret of which
enables them To do their work SO quickly. At
one time the editor of The Graphic had ar
ranged for Mr.. Horgan to go up in n balloon
and take a photograph of New York from
above A great deal of money was spent in
preparing the apparatus, but the balloon in
which the trip to be taken collapsed a
few days before the time set, and the idea
was given up-Frank q. Carpenter i'll Cleve-

watermelons Favored to Suit.

Col jeff Boynton of Arlington has discov-
cred a novel way for f,avoring watermelons-
He says you can flavor them with any extract
you desire. His method is: Before the melon
ripens cut slit about an inch long IN the
stem, and about two-thir,is through II, and
pour in a drop or 80 of the extract every
morning until you think you have the melon
Favored highly enough Every morning,
after pouring in the extract, close the stem
and tie a string around it to hold it together

melons in this manner and Is now enjoying

Ceased from singing the livelong day

I, is only fair to the District Commission.

II is only fair TO the District Commission
ers, who we're so warmly approved by public
opinion when they were respectively ap-
pointed, to remark that the Walker-Arnold
decision is but single act of their admins
tration, and one occurring rather early in
their experience. The SUNDAY HERALD, in
earnestly dissenting from It, does not mean
to extend this censure any further than the
particular case warrants. The original
cause was a trihe compared to the fuss over
it, and i, would be we'll il this could subside
as speedily as it arose. The Commissioners
still have ample opportunity TO make their
administration success.

Moreover, sir, which indeed Is not under white

OF one Deformed: they say he wears q key In his

Gods name, the which he hath used so long and
never paid that now men grow harl-hearted and
will lend nothing for Gods sake; pray You, examine
him on that point"

FOREIGN NOTES.

L'IVustration has the following about the Rus.
sion advance on India: "The year 1886 has wit
messed the completion of marvellous enterprise,
which, In the boldness of Its conception and the
Importance OF Its results, iS destined to take rank
with the piercing OF the Istmus OF Suez, the estab
lishment of transOceanic telegraphy, and the for
the iron highway which Russia has constructed
across the deserts Of Central Asia will have reached
the gates Of India ~. by means Of this line
dahar, and may at once throw an army into Persia
or Afghanistan, or even invade the Peninsula Of
India, while England Is separated from her Indian
very least Nor is the commercial Importance OF
the new line less than It's strategical.
Moreover this colossal enterprise has been quietly
carried out, for Russia hates publicity"
The representation Of "Juarez." In Paris, had a
consequence at the Castle OF Tervueren, where the
ex-Empress carlotta is living. One of the means
employed by her attendants TO waken her deadened
name Ia mentioned. The other day, soon after the
production OF "Juarez," a newspaper cOntainin an
account OF the performance was placed on her
over, aud began to repeat "Jnarez" several times.
Then she cried: "There they are, all together Maxi
milan, Jusrez, Bazaine! A calamity is going to
happen! Quick, quick, must save my husband! -
The servants and the physicians, called IN haste,
were unable to pacify her. II was necessary 10
pack trunks and give OF ders for special train; the
Empress wished 10 start or at once at any price.
