Few have any idea Of the expense that an
Inauguration is to the Senators ana Oon,
gressmen. The Senators, particularly, neeo
big pocketbooks. There are only Two 70
every State, and it is customary for some o.
them to entertain their constituents on these
occasions. They set up cold Iuncne9n,
with something to drink, and practieslly
keep open house for week before anu
day or so after the inauguration.
KNOCKED OUT, YET JOLLY.
Senators Morrill, and Edmunds have re-
ceived an avalanche of Vermonters, and al
though Palmer is knocked out of his Caol-
net aspirations, he, in very jolly way, re-
celves all Michiganders, of every complex
ion of politics. So do other Senators. They
may be droning away their time in the SEN
ate chamber, listening to the monotonous
announcement OF Mr.. Ingalls,, but their
houses have open doors for the people from
their States, just the same. But it is sim
gular tact that the only Evarts does not
faVor this promiscuous hospitality. He
shrinks within his great overeoat and
rumpled silk hat, and stands aloof Senator
Hiscock does not apparently believe in the
felicitous custom, either. When not crowded
down in his arm chair in the Senate, he is
at the Arlington roaming through the cor
ridors trying to see General Harrison.
There is an underlined report to the effect
that he doesn't get nearer to the Generals
apartment than the first lobby.

they know what to do with. They are very

ADJUSTMENTS,

Russell's Farce-Comedy Company drew
an audience that filled the opera house
last night-there were not probably half a
dozen unoccupied sittings in the house.
The play was THE City Directory" Of
all the farce-comedies that have been
given here-and they are all senseless as to
plot and purpose, and valueless as ad-
dresses to the intelligence-this is by all
means the best. 1t is musically charm
ing thing. 1t bustles at every point with
fine vocalism it is rich in delightful har-
monies, beautiful airs, and captivating
solos, duets, trios and choruses. 1t is must
cally away above the level of anything vet
given in the whole round of farce-comedy.
1t bears the stamp and sign manual on all
sides of an accomplished musical
director, the composer OF the
orchestra, w. S. Mullaly. But while it is
perfect little cluster of delightful
melodies, it is acted and sung by fif-
teen of the most competent people in
that line of business to be gathered.
Of the men MIR. Mack is q basso-
profando of much excellence; of the
women there are four who are singers of
superiority-there is not one that is me-
diocre. Mrs. Yohe, besides being model
| of grace and an actress OF merit, has con-
tralto voice phenomenal in all respects
Miss Wilson is a contralto likewise with a
strong, rich voice full of feeling, and Misses
Archmere Della Berry, and Kirby are
competent sopranos whose voices are ex-
cellently managed. The trios, duets and
choruses were better given than by not a
few of pretentious English opera compa-
MES. The women of the company are
| notably handsome and graceful, and at
least three possess strong dramatic quail
ties. Charlie Reed, the old-time minstrel
favorite, has a part lin white face) that
enables him to assume some excel
lent DISCUSSES and introduce some tax
ing songs and inimitable character acting.
He is better by far in the role than he ever
was in minstrelsy, and must certainly have
felt that the audience so judged, since he
was most fatteringly encored. Gilbert,
Martinetti, Collier, Standish and Mack are
| more than clever low comedians, they give
much more character to the farce comedy
business than is usual. Miss Archmere,
being native of Sacramento, was received
with warmth and complimented with q
fine floral favor, which was deserved.
As whole THE City Directory" troupe
is superior to any company of that order
we have had here, is better balanced. nu-
merically far above and dramatically leads
any similar combination-albeit, the act is
of an order that amuses, not entertains.
But if laughter is what one wants, for his
| indulgence, the Russell company provides
it to the extreme and as few others can
