THINGS
a Few of the Attractions Which Will
Visit Here Within a Month.

Neil Burgess will be the next attraction
at the opera house, Feb. 4. The play
will probably be the Wido,o Bedoa, al
though arrangements may be concluded
to produce a new play. Mr.. Burgess,
since his appearance in this city, has met
with great success in San Francisco, Los
Angeles and other California cities.
The Redmond Barry company, a very
strong and talented dramatic company.
will probably follow Neil Burgess.
w. H. Powers ley Leaf a brilliant
and very successful Irish drama, will
likely be seen upon the local boards some
time in February.
Negotiations were successfully con
Guided a few days ago for the appearance
in this city of the w. T. Carleton Opera
company the latter part of February. The
company is now playing to large business
at the Baldwin theater, San Francisco.
Among the principals this season are
Lille Post, Fanny Rice, Clara
Wisdom. Rose Beaudet, Chas, Drew,
Jay Taylor, Herman Ehrendt, j. X. Muir
ray and the handsome William himself.
Two performances will be given, matinee
and evening. The operas will probably
be The Merry Var and Dorothy, the lat
ter a very brilliant and charming piece of
comedy and music, pronounced by the
critics superior to Erminis.
Chas. Hoyt's latest, A Hole IN The
Ground, is booked for San Francisco, and
inducements have been offered to have
the company give one of its excellent per-
formances following Carleton.
Fife Ellsler, in her new play Woman
Against Won1dn, is heading this way
from a most successful tour through the
South and will be seen at the opera house
the latter part of next month.

The marshal who located Burglar
Jones at Centerville, Ia, last week lost
no time IN having his prisoner photo
graphed and sending the picture to the
sheriff. office here. OF course it was not
the man so badly wanted in Cheyenne,
although the likeness was quite striking
to one acquainted with the great Jones.
A glance settled the fact that the officer
who made the arrest was mistaken. The
chase after the industrious burglar has
not been abandoned yet, and the officers
are confident hat he will soon be appre-
hended.

8 Every detail looking to the success of
the Catholic fair, which commences to-
morrow evening and continues three
nights, has already been arranged by the
ladies in charge of the entertainment.
That the fair will be well patronized goes
without saying. The entertainment will
be par excellence, and the proceeds will
be devoted to a most worthy cause. At
tend the fair, encourage the Industrious
managers. The carnival is the only at
traction billed for the week.

The Devil Fish Described by Hugo
Is not a more tenacious monster than
malaria, whether it takes the form of
chills and fever, bilious remittent. ague
cake or dumb ague. Like the octopus of
the story it clasps the victim in its tenta-

horrible embrace. Attacked with Hos

gradually relaxes its tremendous grip, fin
ally abandons its, and the quondam suf-
ferer, liberated at last, r%eioices in the
sense Of new born freedom, engendered
by the restoration of complete health.
Dyspepsia, too, and constipation, those
old and remorseless enemies of the human
family, give ground, and are finally driven
from the field by this Napoleon of RENE
dies, the greatest, the purest in the fam

Fred ~Bohnstedt, the new and second
hand dealer at Ills Eddy street, adjoin-
ing the hook and ladder house, wishes to
inform the public that the only effect hard
times have upon him is to lower the
prices of his goods 50 that they are within
the reach of the poorest, He buys for
cash, but sells on monthly payments,
which makes it very convenient for every
one who deals with him. His business
has grown so much owing to his low
prices and square dealing that he is about
to add a 100 foot addition to his already
large storeroom. Mr.. Bohnstedt is the
oldest secondhand man In town.

JACK AND |.
1 was so tired Of Jack, poor boy,
And Jack was tired of me;

Twas so tired OF Jack, poor boy,
And Jack was tired of me;
Most longed for sweets will soonest cloy;
Fate had been kind, and we,
Two foolish spendthrift hearts, made waste
OF LIES best gifts with eager haste.
Obi tired We were. Time seems so long
When everything goes we'll
The walls of home rose grim and strong;
Like prisoners in q cell
We clanked our marriage chain, and pinned
For freedom we had left behind.
Tired, tired of love and peace were we,
OF every days calm blissl
We had no goal to win, since he
Was mine, and 1 was his;
And SO we sighed in mute despair,
And wished each other anywhere.
But sorrow came one day-the pain
OF Deaths dark, awful fear;
oh, then our hearts beat warm again;
Then each to each was dear:
1t seemed that life could nothing lack,
While Jack had me, andI had Jack!

Fiftieth Congress--First Session.
WASHINGTON, April 1s


 HousE.-After prayer by the chaplain the clerk proceeded to read the journal of the legislative day of Wednesday, April 4, the journal consisting of ninety manuscript pages exclusive of seyentY-one roll calls.
 MT. Deckery of Missouri asked unanimous consent to dispense with the reading of the journal, but MT. E. B. Taylor and Mr. Gros- venor interposed objection. They did not, however, demand the reading of the roll calls in full, as such reading would occupy two or three days. The clerk then proceeded to read the skeleton outline of the journal. The reading consumed exactly one hour. A large number of executive documents which had accumulated upon the Speakers table during the deadlock were laid before the House and appropriately referred.
 The conference report upon the bill divid- ing the great Sioux reservation into smaller separate reservations was agreed to. The Speaker then proceeded to call the commit tees for reports of private character and 8 large number were submitted and placed Hp- on the private calendar
 The remainder of the day was spent in committee of the whole discussing bill for the payment of claim of $700, GOO for the occupation of certain property in Memphis by United States troops in 1864. No action was taken.
 The House then at 5 o'clock took recess until 7:30-the evening session being for the consideration of private pension bills.

THE SOLDIER ROYs.
They Must Foot the Bills

They Must Foot the Bills.
 There is considerable feeling among the military over the fact that they must pay their own bills for entertaining the sitting military on Founders day: Said prominent military authority yesterday: The NewHaven companies of the Second will have to enter tain the other five companies of the regiment here on Founders day, as the whole regiment is to parade. They will have to pay out of their own pockets all the expense of provid- ing the visiting companies with refreshments. The five visiting companies will be fed at the rink. It will cost the boys $200. We get nothing from the city at all. Now the boys here will in turning out lose days pay each That will average $2 per man. On top of that they will have to pay this S200. Now New Haven ought not to make the soldier boys pay this money. But as it is there is no alternative

THE LITTLE TYCOON.


 A large audience heard f'The Little Ty- coon" sung by an excellent opera company at the New Haven Opera House last night. The opera went much more smoothly than on the opening night. This is one of the best balanced and best equipped comic opera organizations that has been here this season There is freshness about the solo voices and an attention to details of costuming and scenic effects that render the performance a delightful one. The troupe carries it's own orchestra, and the chorus is we'll drilled and sings with delightful vigor and spirit. Miss Lola Martin did better last night as "Violet," i" ed. "The Little Tycoon" is filled with sprightly, .rellicking airs of the character that please everybody. There are numerous waltz measures, the prettiest of which is the song for soprano, "Lifs Comes Like a Sum- mer Sigh" There will be matinee this af- ternoon, and the last performance will be given tonight. The theater should be filled both afternoon and evening.
