The Boston Advertiser has made a canvass
of sixteen cities of Massachusetts with
view to ascertain the effects of the new high
license law. 1t appears that in these cities
the number of places licensed to sell liquor
has been reduced from 3.022 to 1851, a de-
crease Of % per cent, while the revenue
from their licenses has increased from
$1,097,706 to Sl,44S,S45 an increase of 80 per
cent. Most Of the reports show an improve
ment In the public order and disposition on
the part Of the licensed places to comply
with the letter of the law. II is curious
fact, however, that the number OF arrests
for drunkenness has increased In almost
every city. But the explanation put forth
is that heofficers are more vigilant, and that
as licenses are generally refused to saloons in
outlying districts men have to come into the
heart of thecitles, to get DRINK and there they
are more likely to be arrested than in the
suburbs. This is probably not the explana-
ton that Prohibitionist would offer, and at
the best it is largely superstition. The oppo-
nent Of the law would probably say that high
license, while 1t has restricted the number
of shops, has not diminished the amount of
drinking, and would point to these arrests to
prove his assertion. 1t must be confessed
that the Prohibitionist's explanation is quite
as plausible as that supplied by the friends
of the law. A curious state of affairs exists
in Fall River, which goes to show that a
license law is no more certain Of impartial
enforcement than prohibitory statute. In
that city it appears that the Board of Alder
men, which is the licensing board, is prac-
tically in the hands of four brewing firms,
who have representatives in the city govern
ment, and by means of them are able to die
tate the disposition of the licenses. Tue city
was allowed under the law but Go licenses,
yet notwithstanding 129 were taken out.
Business is reported very brisk with the
licensed places, and they are full every even
ing. The Boston Advertisers informant
also says that it is common talk that there is
more drunkenness in the city than ever be-
fore.

calities of the French law may compel the
poatponement of the marriage Of Miss
Caldwell TO Prince Murst of France

obtained.
Messrs. Cond.rt Brothers, counsel for
the guardians, now find that the French
Law requires the certificate Of the birth
and baptism Of Miss Caldwell, her parents
and grandparents, and the marriage and
death certificates of the former and latter.
All the requisite pspars have been found
with the exception of the death certificate
of Mics Caldwell's grandmother on the

OPERA HOUSE OPENING.
w. y. Clevelsnd's Magnificent Bsverly
Minstrels,

W. Ss OieFeihnUs mRSDluCeDL 6sNeiy
MinstreIs.
Had the Opera House been half as large
again as it is, it would have been crowded
TO the doors, last evening, upon the occa-
sion of the opening. Every seat was taken,
all the standing room occupied, and men
hung on to the edge of the gallery and sat
on the floor in the dress circle. 1t was q
fine audience.
W. S. Cleveland's minstrels was the at
traction, and it well deserves the appella-
ton of magnificent" given it on the
programme. While preserving much Of
the old minstrel outline, the programme,
nevertheless, bristled with original ideas,
and unique conceptions, while the entire
absence of anything approaching Vulgar
ity, almost invariably feature of min
strelsy in the past, is deserving of special
commendation.
When the curtain went up on the first
part, the setting of the stage evoked MUIR
murs of applause from all over the house.
Just behind the drop curtain was great
curtain of dark crimson plush. in the rear
of this another Of dark greer, and still
farther back one of orange, the graceful
draping of which formed an effective back
ground for the picturesque Venetian dress
of the members of the troupe. The title
of the first part, was Venetian Nights,
with L. NJ. Kayne as Leonati, the Doge OF
Venice, Billy Emerson and Hughey Dough.
erty as American visitors, and John Queen,
]. ]. Leonard, Albert Virto, Joe Crotty,
William Virto, and ]. Marcus Doyle as
Carnival Testers. The costumes were rich
and historically correct, and the entire eff
feet Of the stage setting was very fue. In
the rear of the stsge was drop containing
view of Venice from the sea, and at the
announc cement of each song little boat
would cross the front of the canvas with q
small Jap on deck, and the name OF the
singer or the song depicted upon the sail.
At the conclusion of the first part,
Hughey Dougherty amused the audience
with one of his inimitable speeches, and
then gave place to the Egyptian Phalanx,
the intricate evOlutions of which called
forth repeated applause. This fairly
launched the long programme, the per
formance concluding with Takaragwa's
Imperial Japanese Troupe, in a series OF
wonderful feats of balancing, tumbling,
contortion and juggling. Some of the
tricks were very fine, and nearly all were
new.
There is no doubt that Cleveland has
the GREATEST minstrel troupe on the road,
and the best ever appealing to public pat
