Woman of the Guard" Tonight.

The first and only performance of Gilbert
g. Sullivan's new opera, THE Yeoman of
the Guard" or THE Merry Man and His
Maid" will be given tonight, with
Miss Abbott in tie leading role This opera
establishes the reputation of Sir Arthur
Sullivan as a composer, as it is made up of
music that will live not only by reason of
its brilliancy, but on account of its appeal
to he best and loftiest sentiments Of the
heart.
The perfect manner in which the parts fit
the artists the Abbott company can sell
be considered as another evidence of the
popu ar prima donna's luck. Miss Abbott
has made a decided success as Elsie May
nard," the singing flower girl, aud Miss
Annandale, Pruette, Montegriffo, Brode-
rick ana the entire company will appear in

The Inauguration of the Abbott operatic
festival last was more than an ordinary
event. The theater has seldom held more
enthusiastic and delighted audience. 1t was
an audience such as Savannah Is noted for.
The boxes were filed and there was not a
vacant seat either in the parquet
or dress circle. The entire lower
part of the theater presented
brilliant scsne Many ladies were in demi-
evening costume and a few wore full
evening toilets Altogether it was the most
brilliant audience that Savannah has seen
in long time
OF the opera 1.-THE Rose of CASTLE, " and
of its production, ere is nothing to be
said but in p aise. The opera itself is one
of Balfe's most charming compositions.
1t was seen last night for the first I'll in
Savanna B, and in the hands Of Miss Abbott
and her excellent company it was enthuSi-
astically received. A feature of the opera,
aside from s pretty theme and tunef /
melody, is the op ortunity that it affords
for elegant costuming. That makes it
doubly inter sting.
Miss Abbott sang with splendid effect.
That she is favorite in Savannah no one
in the theatre could doubt. The burst of APP
plause, the clapping of hands and the
stamping Of feet that greeted the little diva
as she came upon the stage showed we'll how
the people like her. Her ability to please
is her greatness and in that few
can hope to rival her. In lei
vira," the peasant girl and queen, she
has found role IN which, If it is possible,
she appears to better advantage than in
almost any opera in which she has been
seen here. To say that she captivated every
body last night is no exaggeration. The
opera does OF develop until the second act
In this act the laughing trio, by Miss Abbott,
Miss Annandale and Michelena is
pretty conceit and was delightful ly exc
cuted. 81 Am a Simple Peasant Mald.n by
Miss Abbott, was one of the gems Of the
opera.
Miss Annandale as Donna Carmen" is as
much of favorite as ever. The opera
affords but little opportunity to show her
voice, and only once, in the last act, d es
the audience hear her rich contralto to any
advantage.
Mr.. Broderick has magnificent voice,
and as Don Pedro" he has full opportunity
for its display. His singing was one Of the
features Of the performance.
Michelena is good actor, but a better
singer, aud he sang with splendid eff
His voice, though not strong, is sweet
clear tenor and he was well received
Mr.. Allen as Don F.orio is the comedian,
and, although the opera does not permit of
much comedy acting, he made the most of
what there is.
Miss Abb tt was several times recalled,
and was twice called before the Gu tain
AT the close f the second act, in response

Begin.

Do something. Put in the spade
somewhere. Inspiration will come
with the effort; vigor will come to
the mind by use, strength to the arm.
Every moment spent in doing moth
ing is doubly wasted. The idle mind
deteriorates; the idle arm weakens.-
Encouragement is a slough that
grows deeper and deeper. Never mind
about doing great things. Grant that
you cannot. Do smallt Kings. The
outer always adapts itself to the inner.
Even the solid stone pavement gives
way to the development of the tiny
germ in an acorn. Effort is the con-
dition of growth. No one knows
what he can do until he tries-tries
conscientiously, bravely, continuous
ly. There is no waste so great, SO
deplorable, as the waste of human
energy. Men and women do not be-
lieye in themselves. 81 can't is not
spoken aloud, but it is the language
of many heart. Others fatter them
selves that they are going to do some
thing some time. But the moment of
beginning never arrives. Something
shonld be begun Immediately that
shall necessitate regular hours, seri-
GUS disciple. misunderstanding
that is real, earnest work.
Lose no time in getting hold OF
something that shall preclude idleness
and dependence. Work-no matter
how small the beginning-work. 1t
is often the case that the one talent
is put out at interest and the ten
talents are hid in napkin. The
man with ten talents is going to dc
great things sometime. The poor
fellow with one talent is spurred by
necessity to use it, and it yields him
q surprising return.
Begin somewhere. Do something.
Have faith in yourself as the child Of
God, the Almighty, and all the forces
about you, known and unknown, shall
help you. A seed put away in q
drawer will produce no fruit A ship
lying in anchor will catch no fayorine
gale. Use yourself. Put yourself il
condition to grow. Fear neithel
darkness nor storm. Fear only mac
ton.
