LEGISLATION ON THE BLUFF.

Matters rhatiI Wants Regulated.
There was good attendance at the Day
toms Bluff union last evening and number
of matters were talked over and referred to
committees. The Ontario plan received
considerable attention. and what was said
was TO the effect that some plan should be
adopted to relieve the people of the very
heavy burden of assessments that are being
continually piled upon them. 1t was
stated that the city hail people were Op-
posed to the Ontario plan and that they
would defeat it unless a very decided DEM
OnStratiOn was made in favor of it. Mr.
Pugh read petition to the council that is
being circulated AT Post Siding in favor Of
an instalment plan and reducing the interest
on assessments 10 10 per cent. Mr.. Pugh
spoke in favor OF the nStSlment plan and
against the 10 per cent clause. He favored
legal interest only. At his suggestion the
Post Siding petition, with the 10 per
cent clause eliminated. was adopted,
after which it was referred to
of Willius Middleton. Hall, SimOns and
Lemon. with instructions to obtain sigma
lures. The committee on streets was also

was also decided that an effort should be
made to have steps erected from Seventh

depot erected at the foot of the steps.
Some time ago the DaytOn's Bluff Citi-
zens' union caused to be paid to the st.
Paul Gaslight company $500 for plac ng
some electric lights on the bluff. Now the
Gaslight company has extenued its mains,
and, as the Citizens union charges, has
given other localities. more remote from
its power station. and where gas mains do
not extend and are not likely to for some
time. an equal number Of electric lights for
much less sums than paid by the DaytOn's
Bluff Citizens union" The union there
fore resolved to encourage the further ex-
tension of the gas mains. both for the light
ing of streets and buildings. both public
and private, and further that the committee
of the union on street lighting be requested
TO ask the Gas company to refund to the
union $3.50 or One-half the amount paid for

"THE LITTLE TVCoON.,

A large Audience witnesses the
Opening Engagement Of the New
Opera 1.-The KeDz-santley Combi.
nation.
After the long run Of opera closing last
week with the Boston Ideals engagement,
it was something of surprise last night to
see such large audience in the Grand
opera house. THE Little Tycoon" is a
new opera and the only genuine
American opera that has had a
success, consequently there was
a desire to see it. and the result was that
the theater was well filled. The libretto IS
bright and sparkling and the plot is good.
While the music is not of the classical or
der, nor does it even approach the style
which commendS itself to artistic ears, still
it is catching. the opera being full OF
bright, melodious airs which quickly i'm
press themselves upon the musical senses.
There is a light ring of melody running
through the entire opera which carries the
auditors along on a wave of soft vibrations
with most enchanting effect. The produc-
ton of The Little Tycoon" last night
was only fairly satisfactory. so far as
the vocalizatiOn went 1t is an opera
which does not require artists TO
produce it, yet it would evidently be much
better for an artistic production. Douglass
Flint easily won the honors Of the evening
