latest opera a cable dispatch giving the first particu-
lars that have been known here. The OPERA said
Nh Aronson yesterday, will be brought out In London,
Chicago and at the Casino Monday, November IT,
AT least, that Is tho present intention, but as IN
London It Is generally thought preferable to produce
plays on saturday ght, the date may be changed to
November 10. The name Of me opera has not yet
been disclosed. That is a secret which Gilbert and
Sullivan always keep TIL the last possible moment.

Gustavus Vasa All the dresses, of which / have
received some sketches In black and white, are ex-

true TO the period there Is considerable variety In

that we learn Is that the plot deals with the re-
