An Entertainment That Will Please
Everybody.

Mons. Philippi Salvini's unique attrac-
tons at tho theater last light were very ex-
cellent attractions. The audience was
small but the performance was good and

able evening. The programme is divided
into three parts and each part was interest

larry cd. The banquet at Montezuma
was receized with a gteat deal of applause,
as was also the hurdle race bv the monkeys

The indications are the Juch concert next
Monday night will be the leading concert
attraction of the season. The leading critics
award the palm to Miss Juch as a Mar
guerite. So far as appearance is concerned
she is such a Marguerite as would have
doubtless satisfied the ideal of either Goethe
OF Gounod. She mas marked resemblance,
especially in her sadder moods, to Mary
Anderson. However, stage presence is for
tunately not the only ground on which Miss
Juch's claims to interpret faithfully Mar
guerite rest. She has both the voice to sing
the part and the dramatic ability to act it.
In the concert features of the programme
which Miss Juch will give she is strongly
supported

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.
The Contract for Excavating Let and
Work to Begin Soon.

The Contract for Excavating Let and
Work to Begin Soon.
The long delay In beginning work on the
new public building is likely to be broken
in the next few days. r. Fogarty's bid for
the excavation has been accepted. The bond
has been perfected and sent to the depart
ment at Washington.
Postmaster Lamar said yesterday that he
dos not know just when work will begin,
but there is no cause why it should be de-
layed when the department is in receipt of
the bid and the bond.
Architect Schwab said that he will be un-
able to give y information concerning it
until he has heard from the supervising
architect When the work is under way it
will be pushed right ahead until the struct-
ure is completed. 1t is not likely that the
excavation will consume any great length
OF time. The force that will be put to work
will be large. and the excaN ating will be
rapidly done. The main building will be
erected first and he postoffice addition will
be made afterward.

GENERAL PILE DEAD.
He Passes Away at His Nonroyi
Home.


Home.
La night, at S:15, General w. A.
Pile, of Monrovia, died at his residence
at that place. The General came here
about three yeas ago for the benefit of
his health, which was somewhat i'm
paired by reason of his long service in
the late civil war. His stay at Monrovia
was highly beneficial to him, and gave
promise of prolonging his life indefinitely
until about three months ago, when he
began to fail very rapidly, and he passed
away, as stated, last night. He had
been suffering from an attack OF
pneumonia which finally proved fatal
General Pile was commanding figure
among any body of men, standing, as he
did, over ak feet high, and well proper
toned. He was 81 years old at the time
Of bis death. His life was a checkered
one, and he served mis- country in many
capacities, both in war and peace. He
was born in Indiana, aud early in life
became preacher. He was pastor OF
church in 81. Louis when the first gun
was fred at Fort Sump.er. He at once
offered his services as chaplain, but never
did anything in that capacity. He pro-
cured his transfer to the staff of General
Lyon, and as a militant became known as
the fighting parson. He passed through
sll the ranks OF the army during the long
struggle, and reached the grade of Briga-
der General. At the battle of Fort
Blakely 80 gallant was his conduct that
be was breveted to the rank of Major
General.
At the close of the war he returned to
st. Louis and was elected to Congress for
mis- district. At the end of his term in
the Lower House, General Grant. then
President, appointed him Governor Of
New Mexico, post which he held for
