q success Mr.. Aronson feels sure that the con-
templated productions OF "The Brigands" by
other parties would never have been made.
Mr. Aronson has instructed his attorney to pro-
ceed against all parties attempting to produce
this opera without his authority. The Bri-
gands" will be given in Pittsburg at the Grand

THE New York Herald the other day pub
lished statement that Denman Thompson had
lost sl50.000 at faro in a notorious gambling
house, known as the Central Olub,n at SIS
Broadway, and In poker game at the West
minister Hotel. The report was sent to Mr..
thompson. VINO is at his country place, az
Swanzey, N. H. He thought it all over and
then made the following statement for publica-
tion: Il have not been to SlS Broadway for
three years. lnever lost sl500Q0, or $4,000 or
5000 there. The last time I ever played faro
bank was three years ago. when won Si.750.
have not put down a bet since. never played
o game of poker in the Westminster Hotel, and
never saw ,e one played there: | have not PLAYED
and have won and lost on races alternately at
different times, losing more than winning"
HERE is what the honest critic of lie Chat
Noir has to say of the latest comic opera.
"Paola." produced by Mr., Duffs company at
the Fifth Avenue Theater, New York: "Paola"
settles the truth that this composer is evidently
most commonplace musician. His orchestra
tion is that OF an amateur. He steals his melo-
dies in brazen way that would make Edward
E. Rice blush with modification. We have
dozens Of men here who are his superiors at
all points MT. Rice would not be guilty of his
steady flow of dull tunes, and Mr.. Kerker, Of
the Casino, couldn't get an engagement II he
possessed such wretched technique as his
concerted numbers betray continually. Mr..
PaultOn's fun is of an uncertain sort, utterly
Cockney in all regards. but occasionally sue
cessful, while never subtle. He has copied the
intricate absurdities OF paradox in situation
and dialogue that w. s. Gilbert has made all
his own, and while 1t is laughable in spots as he
handles it. the profound wit of his master is
never visible. The humor of "Paola" is planned
on burlesque lines. The dialogue is devoid of
keen and sparkling reparree, but it has chunks
of farcial quips and quirks plugged through it
sitive people in an audience. If Mr.. Paulton
intended making only mirth-provoking out
rage out of his story. then he has come quite
near to realizing his intention.

ProceedinGs Marked By ModeraiIon- and
Good sense--A Tribute TO Major Warner
-PennsyIvania Solid for Alger-News
From the Posts.
The encampment of the representatives Of
the Grand Army at Milwaukee last week
was notable one. The proceedings were
marked throughout with moderation and
good sense. The reports of the various de-
partments show the organization to be In .
highly prosperous condition. The deep in
terest manifested by the public at large in
these annual meetings is an Indication that
the veterans of the country still hold place
in the hearts OF the people. The high
standing of the organization may be judged
from the character of the men selected az
officers. The term OF Major William
Warner as Commander-iu-Ch Chief just closed
was exceptionally successful The wise and
conscientious manner In which all his duties
were discharged extended to every department.
His considerate and conservative course carried
the organization through heated Presidential
campaign without a jar, that demonstrated to
the country that the G. A. r. Is in reality
non-partisan body. Everything like bunconibe
was banished from his administration. Major
same line OF conservatism by recognizing the
fact that no political party can claim as It's own
all those who wore the blue in the battles for
the Union.
The officers elected are General Russell A.
Alger, Michigan, Commander-in-C Chief; Colonel
A. u. Weissert. Wisconsin, Senior Vice Com
mander-in-O Chief. and - John F. Lovett, New
Jersey, JUNIOR Vice Commanderin-C Chief; DR..
Horace P. Porter, Kansas, Surgeon General,
and Rev. w. H. Childer, Of Kentucky, Chap
lain-in-Chief. Captain William McCIelland of
Pittsburg is again the Pennsylvania member
OF the National Council OF Administration.
As predicted in this column Pennsylvania
held conspicuous place in Milwaukee. At
the conference Of delegates on Tuesday even
ing General Alger became the unanimous
choice Of the delegation for Commander-in-
Chief, and this action virtually settled where
the honor would fall, as the larger delegations
at once followed the course Of Pennsylvania.
In the parade on Tuesday the complete uni
form, fne military bearing and soldier-like ap-
pearance Of the State delegation was greeted
everywhere with applause. Lysle Post No.
ment Commander Stewart, headed by the
Grand Army Band and the gun squad Of Post
Al, received continued ovation, and were the
recipients of marked attention by prominent
citizens and social clubs Of the town. On
leaving Milwaukee yesterday morning the
Post was escorted to the train by $50 members
of the Calimet Club, composed of prominent
citizens. Commander Sample may well feel
proud Of the hOnors showered upon Post l28 by
the people of Milwaukee.

BUSY TO THE VERY LAST.
The Chautauquans Had n Programme That
FalIy Occupied Their Time.

FalIy Occupied Their Time.
rsPEcIkL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsP ATcH.l
CHAUTAUoUA, August 3L-People are stay
ing later than usual this year. Probably it is
mainly due to the perfect weather we are
having. Formerly Chautauqua has been al
most deserted at this time of the year. The
programme, too, held out unusually well. In
stead of having to exercise their ingenuity to
plan impromptu entertainments to I'LL up the
time the management have scarcely been able
to find enough hours for all they had on hand.
The last day was as full as any. 1t seemed a
pity to come to a full stop when everything was
at its height. But at the same time 1t is relief
TO have the programme concluded. and to feel
that there is nothing one ought to attend.
While the grounds are being canvassed after
the closing. TO make sure that everyone has a
ticket before opening the gates, one is obliged
TO show his ticket at moments notice
wherever he may be. For instance you may be
accosted half a dozen times on your way to
the postofice with the proverbial remark,
''Show your ticket please" Argue as elo-
ouently as you will on the useleSsness of such
proceeding. you are invariably met with the
unanswera6le argument, ''Show your ticket,
please" One is apt to be restive at first, but
he soon learns the futility Of attempting to
cope with grim fate in the person of the ticket
examiner.
The closing exercises were held Monday
evening, They were very simple. Bishop Vim
cent made a touching farewell address. the
doxology was sung, and the season of 1859 was
pronounced at an end.
g. A. X. Day was success A large number
of veterans were in attendance. The celebra-
tions really began the night before with a
campfire, consisting of addresses and patriotic

humorous reminiscence to relate. The next

thusiasm were contagious. Flags were flying.

Captain Jordan's bathing boat, below the
Sixth street bridge, has become vastly popu-
lar among the ladies. Ladies' days are now
Wednesday and Saturday, and Capt. Jor-
dams married sister is always present to
teach the ladies and girls to swim. None of
the masculine gender are admitted on ladies'
DAYS, and Capt. Jordan takes pride in max
ing his swimming school an exclusive resort
for ladies OF the best position. No charge
is made for the ladies, and neat suits are
always in readiness without charge for
those who have come without their own
bathing dress. Capt. Jordan will gladly
arrange to give the use OF the swimming
school to a select party of ladies any day
that they choose to arrange to come, and
will make no charge for it. Over 200 ladies
enjoyed themselves and took swimming
lessons last week.

Logan Memorial Hall.

The Logan Memorial Hall, adjoining the resi-
dence of Mrs. General Logan, on Columbia
Heights, Washington, D. c. is completed. The
hall is 15x40 feet with lofty ceiling. erected to
preserve the memorials rendered Mrs. Logan
by the comrades of the General. The ceiling
is of stained glass, representing blue sky with
stars; the border is of an amber shade un-
oruamented. On the north and south sides of
the deep historic frieze are represented eagles
with the streamers extending from their beaks
bearing the names OF the battles in which Gen.
eral Logan participated. The features of the
west and east sides of the frieze are the coat of
arms OF the United States and of Illinois. In
the corners are conventional representations of
ivy, laurel and shamrock and thistle. A mar
Bile bust OF the General is conspicuous, while
photographs, battlehags and other objects OF
interest are hung against the walls or rest upon
easels. A low bookcase extends round the
room. Comrades visiting Washington have
cordial invitation from Mrs. Logan to call and
view the hall and its contents.
