Olivette.

The comic opera Olivette will be
rendered at the Opera House on We'd
nesday and Thursday nights of this
week, by the members of Alpena
Musical Society. The following will
give an idea of the opera:
In the first act of Olivette, the peo-
pie Of the village Of Perpignan are
excited over the approaching mar
riage of the SeneschaPs only daughter
Olivette with an old sea captain De
Merrimac. The young lady has just
arrived from a convent, where she
had fallen in love with young off.
Ger, Valentine, nephew of De Mer-
rimac. The young Countess of
Rousillon has, however, fallen in love
herself with the young soldier and
comes to Perpignan to see him: In
the house Of the Seneschal the Count
ess is visited by Valentine, who be-
lieves he is climbing the balcony Of
Olivette. Meanwhile the uncle, whose
suit does not prosper with Olivette,
writes the Countess letter demand
ing the young lady's hand. Vslen-
tine contrives to pass himsel off for
the real De Merrimac, and according
ly marries Olivette at the request Of
the Countess.
The second act opens with ball
given by the Countess in honor Of
the wedding, and Valentine finds that
he has to personate not only his uncle,
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1886-05-05

but himself, by constant change of
dress. The real De Merrimac re-
turns and is greeted by everybody as
the happy bridegroom. Finally his
perplexity is solved by the appearance
of Valentine as the old man, and the
result Of the explanation is that De
Msrrimac resolves TO take the bride
Valentine has married in his name.
A conspiracy is formed and Olivette
gets rid for the moment of her elder
ly bridegroom. The love ef the
countess for Valentine upsets the cal
culations of Olivette, for the sover-
eign lady of Rousillon announces her
intention of marrying the loyal sol
der who had quclled the conspiracy.
AS last resource, Valentine, at the
instigation of Olvette, joins the plot
and the Countess is ordered to be
sent out of the kingdom.
The third and last act describes the
partial success of the plot and the
imprisonment of the Countess on the
Cormorant, the ship commanded by
De Merrimac. Olivette and her hus-
band, disguised as sailors, seek YES
sci to take them away. Valentine is
detected and seized. Olivette man
ages to set the Countess free and as
sumo her dress, her own place being
taken by her maid Valentine whom
the near sighted Duke courts. De
Merrimac returns, and is Mortified to
hear the Duke tell Valentine of his
courtship of Olivette. Both nephew
and uncle disown the bride until the
return of the Countess and the un-
yelling of Olivette. Valentine at
last is united to Olivette, the Countess
accepts the Due DIES Ifs, and De Mer-
rimac is advised to follow the exam
pie Of the Doge of Venice and marry
the sea.
Interspersed through the play are
81 songs, duets and chorus.

The Pioneer desires TO know II we
really think the Democrats ought to
be credited with wages being higher
last winter than the winter before.
That is the doctrine that Republican
papers and orators preached when
their party were in power and times
were good some years ago. When
business was depressed and work
scarce, the Republicans did not make
any claims they said hard times were
caused by the laws Of trade. If the
claim of the Republicans that pros
perity in years gone by were the re-
suit of their actions, and bad times
the result of natural causes, when
they we're in power, then the Demo
cratic party have just as good grounds
for claiming the credit of the high
wages and prosperity last winter.
They certainly have better rea-
son for making such claim than the
Republicans have for charging the
present labor troubles to the Demo-
cratic party. We also believe that
the confidence felt in the honesty and
integrity of President Cleveland help
ed to set business booming, and but
for the present labor revolution there
would be lively times now.

For a northwest wind the red flag is
placed over black and white one

the white when winds from norther-
ly direction are expected, and for
southerly winds the white stripe is set
on top. A red light at night repre-
sents the stationary signal, but there
is no night signal for wind direction.
The on shore wind signal flag con-
sists of two white squares and two

that it did not have its own war paint
on the week before last-it was mere

THE WIDOW STEWART.

Some days ago, walking past that
marble palace on Thirty-fOuTth street
and Fifth avenue, / had q glimpse Of
Mrs. A. T. Stewart, the first for years.
Poor old LADY, One look at her is a.
good as a sermon on the fOllies Of this
life. Her coupe. gorgeous in gilded
trappings aud satin cushions, was
standing at the curb, and just rs
passed the great white hall doors
were thrown open with 3 flourish and
out she came. Against a long vista
Of marble columns aud shining floors
she began to creep slowly down Il
stairs, leaning heavily on the arm Of
her majOr-dOmO. The majeF-d0mO,
by the way, Is wonderful old crea-
ture. He looks like q creation Of
TrOllOp's, and always dresses In de-
cent black, with 9 black velvet skull
cap on his long silvery hair, and his
gOld-tipped wand OfOfiice in his hand.
He led Mrs. Stewart with fatherly
care down the long flight Of steps,
then az the bottom delivered her into
the hands Of two gigantic fOOtmen
who supported her to the carriagP,
while q maid followed, her blooming
face peeplng out from under a mass
Of shaWls and sir cushions. That the
widow Of the merchant millionaire is
ss fond 50 ever OF the pOmps and van
sites is shown In her blushing cheeks,
IN the name Of wild black euTls, bob
bling into her eyes and pouring into
her eyes and pouring In q jetty cas-
esde down her back In her gown Of
black silk, stiff as 8 pastebOard, and
covered with laces and jet and red
sstin bows dragging its heavy length
out behind her. It looks, however,
as ifshe could not have much more
time LEFT wherein TO enjoy them.
The was 50 feeble the other day that
her foOtmAn had almost 20 lit her
into the carriage then the maid
came tripping to the door and began
putting her In shape punched up
her cushions and arranged her shawls
pulled the gloves up over her tiny
trembling hands, tWitched her bon
net into place, pulled down her veil,
patted the bow under her chin and
settled into the carriage ae one might

The Natlonal Prohibition Conven-
ton referred the equal suffrage ques-
ton 10 The states, and In view Of that
fact, the action Of the several State
Conventions ls sign iflcant. some Of
them have adopted good, sound,
heart Ofoak, equal outrage "plsnks. /"
The Michigan plank lie an example
and IL e follows ~
We believe that the highest cOnsid-
eFatIOns Of philanthrOphy and Of true
siatesmsnship demand that equality
OF rights, equality Of opportunity and
equality of privilege snail Be secured
30 ell citizens Of the republic ire
spective Of sex, race or col8F.
The Connecticut Convention took
q decided stand IN favor Of the sof.
frage movement bat In Ohio as In
Kansas, the convention lodged the
point by recommending that the
Legislature submit thequestiOn 10 the
popular( p vote. The Wisconsin and
Pennsylvania platforms maintain 8
dead silence on the sshject. The
Eebraska convention adopted the fol-
lowing ringing resolution
Inasmuch a. the women Of our
coutry are OF equal intelligence and
superior morals, therefore be it
Resolved As the sense Of this con.
ventlOn, that the ballot should be ex-
tended 10 them aud that their rights,
privileges and immunities under the
Law should be cO-eXtenslVe with those
Of men. We are in favor Of our state
legislature extending municipal suf-
frsge 20 the women Of Nebraska.
In the California convention an
equal suffrage plank was excluded
from the platform while every mem
Der Of the convention was individual
ly Ga favor Of equal suffrage.
Amer this action Of the party Of the
state - represented by the convention,
the following resolution, as q "sOp to
ceTberus, we suppose, was adopted
without q dissenting vote:
WHEREAs-This convention has ex-
cluded from is platform q declaration
Go favor Of woman suffrage, and it APP
peaFlng that such exclusion may lead
to MISREPRESENTATION ia regard 20 the
opinion Of the members OF the con.
ventiOn, therefore be Il
Resolved: That we most emphat-
ically declare Il 10 be our opinion that
the immediate unconditional elffau-
chisement OF woman would surely
tend 10 the highest interest Of the
whole people, and forever put an end
10 the traffic in intoxicating liquors,
and that for these reasons--hs indi-
viduAls-We will e all times use every
lawful and proper means 10 secure an
amendment TO the constitution Of the
state comforting upon woman the
right 20 vote.
In other words they repudiate a. q
party what they affirm as individuals.
They declare that woman suffrage
"would forever put an end 10 the
traffic In intoxicating liquors" and
then exclude woman suffrage from
the platform Of the party which ex-
lists for the destruction Of the liquor
trRfIicl IL this action significant Of
courage or cowardIce? Principle or
policy? Let some member Of the
party inform us.

The exemption laws Of Kansas are
liberal IA their provisions and are In
tended b protect unfortunate debtors
from absolute want. They also make
q noticeable distinction between the
head Of q family and one who IL not
the head Of family. The former can
hold much more property exempt
from seizure and sale than the latter.
OF course the reason OF this is appar-
ent. A man who has a family de-
pending on him for support needs pro-
lection not only for himself but also
for the members Of his family. To
this end not only lie certain personal
property exempt from forced sale, but
slso the homestead. Even more than
this ls done for the protection Of the
family. The homestead cannot be
aliensted without the joint consent Of
husband and wife. The wisdom Of
this provision has been frequently
made manifest, and many q wife by
refusing 10 consent to the sale Of her
home has secured for her husband IS
well a. for herself the protecting shell
ter Of its roof Many thousands have
only been restrained from mortgaging
or selling their hOmesteads by the
frmness Of intelligent wives, when the
fruits Of the alienation OF the home
stead would have been squandered In
rlOtous living. Does it not occur then
% the lawmakers that the family
needs aud deserves still greater pro
lection from shlftless or indolent
husbands
While women can hold property In
Kansas, it is q notorious fact that In
The average family the labor Of the
wife goes only 70 increase the earn.
ings and possessions Of the husband.
Alter twenty years Of unremitting et
fort and rigid economy, q wife may
nnd that she owns no property Ia her
own name, while her husband may
Be worth thousands Of dollars. OF
course in ell real property Of the
husband she has q contingent inter
est, but the personal property may be
disposed % by him without the slight
ct consideration for her welfare or
interests. should not the law be 30
amended that &C least the personal
property which is exempt from forced
sale should not be sold or disposed Of
without the joint consent Of husband
aud wife, such , change should not
Be Iuc0nsideraiely made, but We be-
neve that she more the pT0priEiY OF
snch q chsnRe is discussed, the more
certain is e thal Il win be made.
