OPERA HOUSE

Every part of the opera house was crowd
ed last evening to witness the production OF
"Fanchon." The weather being very warm,
the house crowded and the celebrations OF
the Fourth still in the minds of the audi
ence there was some superfuous applause
and noise during the intermission, but
while the performance was taking place
there was the best of order and respect 10
the actors. The character of "Fanchon''
sparkled and shined in the skillful handling
of Mrs. Maud Melville. Her leading sup
port, Mr.. John ID. O'Harra, is a promising
young actor. The other characters were
all well sustained, and it may be truthfully
said that the company is superior to many
higher priced affairs. The manager, Mr..
Miller. is q gentleman Of refinement and
education, and one Of the most successful
theatrical managers in America, and his
name is of itself, guarantee of the excel
lence of his company. Tomorrow night
will be given the "Galley Slave" the Ia
mented Barley Compbelps master piece.

COnk1ing and Huntington.
Chicago News.
Roscoe Conkling's clients are men Like
G. P Huntington, the railway magnate;
and others of equal wealth and promi-
nence. Mr.. Conkling recently remarked
as curious fact, that Notwithstanding
the cordial relations between him and
his former senatorial associates, many Of
whom have large corporate and other
interests, he has never received penny
from one of the number in the way of a
retainer. Huntington is a warm friend
of Conkling. He rendered Conkling
very material aid in his first race for the
senatorship. When Conking went to
Albany in 1881; to secure from the Iegis
lature a vindication of his course IN re-
signing his seat In the United States
senate, Huntington used every means at
at his command to insure Conkling's re-
election. Since he begin the practice Of
law in New York city Huntington has
paid him large sums of money as retain
er In the numerous suits in which he
constantly interested.
