THE BOSTON IDEALS.
Their Engagement to Close at the Acade-
my Tonight.

my Tonight
The excellence visible in the Boston
Ideals performance on Monday and Tues
day nights was maintained in the presen-
tation of Der Freischutz" yesterday af-
ternoon and of "Trovatore last evening.
At the matinee Miss Romeldi and Miss Won
Doenhoff and Messrs. Bassett, Clark, Nil
randa, and Bainbridge carried the leading
roles in excellent style. The chorus was
strong and in tune, and the orchestra was
again great source OF enjoyment: The
Wolf-Glen scene was very well done by the
management, and was greeted with ap-
plause.
The melodious "Trovatore last night
was perhaps the most satisfactory all
round performance of the engagement. In
the title role Chcvalier Scovel was a very
handsome Maurice. and, what is quite as
much to the purpose, he delivered his mu-
sic with charm of phrasIng and enuncla-
ton seldom displayed on the operate stage.
The dIiilculties III singing English words
are overcome by this artist with what ap-
pears to be the most astonishing ease-the
result of his intelligence and method.
Chevalier Scovels Maurice is by all odds
the best assumption in ~hich he has been
seen here, and it may safely challenge com.
parlson. -.
Tine Leonora was Miss Emma Romeldi,
q Young dramatic soprano VINO knows how
to act as well as to sing: Her voice is
strong. sympathetic, and of excellent car
rying quality. In the dramatic passages
she " was particularly effective, and through
out the performance she was;a delight
both to the ear and the eve. This artistic
is decided acquisition to the Boston
Ideals. and in dramatic role like Norma
she should carry everything before her:
Miss Helen Won Doenhoff was very good
AZucena, and she won considerable ap-
pause by the intensity of her acting. The
sterling baritone, W. IL. Mertens, as the
count was. as usual, superb, and Signor
Miranda rounded out the exceptional cast.
Tonight Madame HAllemand will make
her first appearance here as Marguerite in
Faust" and her farewell appearance here
as a member of the Boston Ideals, as 1t is
understood that in her stead next season
Zelie de Lusson snd Marie Van Zandt Will
share the leading soprano roles with Miss
Romeldi. Mr.. Bassett will be the Faust"
Mr.. Clark the Mephisto, Mertens the Val
entine. and Miss Tomlins the Liebel. The
house should be packed.

FICTLONS IND C

Fog instance THE LEADER yesterday
made the following statement the basis OF
an editorial:
Judge Carey in a public speech once
asserted that the expenses of maintaining
a state government would not exceed GO
per cent of the amount usually expended
IN maintaining 4 territorial government.
There is no truth 10 thus assertion, but
IN the absence of any facts Upon which to
attack the Republican party the Demo
cratic party must resort to fiction. SIU-
days Sun, IA
Now, is 1t all fiction in this case?
There are dozens of men in this city who
heard Judge Carey openly make this
statement In this city in June of last
year. In an article on the subject of
taxation written about the same time by
Ex-Governor Baxter this statement was
made through the public press and never
denied. At a citizens meeting held in
Cheyenne June IL. 1889, Judge Carey
was one OF the speakers. In the report
of his speech which was published in the
Sun the following morning, this is given
as the substance of Judge Carey 5 remarks
on this particular subject:
He believes there would be no partisan
provisions in the constitution, and that 95.
per cent of the people of the territory
were in favor of state government. Even
the counties that have refused to issue
a request to the governor say that they
have done so on account Of the expenses
of an election. Any man who will go to
a constitutional convention with the idea
Of obtaining any partisan advantage is
unfit to be the Trainer of a state constitu-
ton. The speaker wanted state govern
ment because he believed it would not
cost the people IS per cent OF the taxes
upphssy are paying.
Nov. is it all fiction or are facts simply
distasteful2

INC PERSONALITIES"

let US have a clean campaign" yelled
the Son showing strong symptoms ofhys-
terra. Let US have a clean campaign,
shouted Judge Carey as he attempted a
dissection of Judge Corn, and made a
rapid mental calculation as to the num-
Der of carloads of Democrats who would
make a stand off for Governor Warren.
Then the Sun, to prove the sincerity Of
its desire for a campaign of principles,
published a special telegram from an ire
sponsible correspondent at Casper. in
which it was stated that c. Z. Wright of
that place had been called upon to ac-
count for $500 received from a Demo-
cratic United States senatorial candidate
and $3.50 from the state committee, CON
tributed to carry Natrona county; that he
that the fact was the talk of the town,
and that Wright had resigned as chair
man of the committee.
Mr.. Wright is a reputable young law
yer resident in Casper. His only sin is
that he is a Democrat. The only atom of
truth in the story circulated regarding
him is the fact hat he resigned as chair
man of the Democratic county committee.
His reason for doing SO was simply that
he was Obliged to go outside of Natrona
county on professional business and as he
expected to be absent two weeks or more
he believed 1t desirable that some other
Democrat whocould remain in town should
be placed at the head OF the committee.
Immediately after his resignation Mr..
Wright started overland for Raw
Inns, where his business called
him. and it was while he wa on that long
and tiresome trip that the malicious story
was sprung upon him. Mr.. Wright reached
here yesterday in a highly indignant
frame OF mind. A card from him is
published in another column OF this issue.
This is a very nice way indeed to start
a campaign Of principles. We will await
wit h~consideable interest the action OF
the two Republican papers mentioned in
meeting the proofs which Mr.. Wright
will produce.

A well known young calico jerker for
p dry goods house in this city secured a
bewitching bathing costume from below
o few days ago, and privately informed
a few Of the boys that he was going up
the creek to wet 1t" on the following
night, and that was just where he was
wrong. Whether the boys were Jealous
or whether they objected to the devia-
ton from long established rules of Chico
swimming holes we cannot determine;
at any rate they laid for their comrade
when he appeared in his gay pink and
white costume.
The wetting was all right, but when
he came in out Of the wet he found to his
horror that his store clothes had disap-
peared, and all search was unavailing.
he sat around bewailing his fate, and
finally struck for home Just as he was.
The boys, though, had posted a num-
Der of the urchins of the burg, and when
he hove in sight of one of the well trav-
eled streets twenty kids, real live Amer
lean kids, hailed him with a rich vocab-
ulary of slang.

In choosing a resort for summer one
does not omit questions rs to how far 1t
is to church or station, whether G o'clock
dinner is served or there are spring mat
tresses on each couch-matters of Just
interest and comfort. But add such per-
tinent inquiries as these: Dc you serve
oatmeal or cracked wheat for breakfast
Can / have brown bread and fruit three
times a day? Have you a water filter in
good condition? How far is the well or
the water supply from the cesspool and
drains? And last, but not least, nave
you a well ventilated earth closet? All
boarding houses and summer resorts
should be visited monthly by a sanitary
inspector with power to enforce neces-
sary improvements for the health of in
mates. The Catskills and the north
shore demand supervision in this way
just as much as Mulberry street, Baxter
street and South Fifth avenue, those
flowers of the slums.-Shirley Dare in

the life of n barbarian was preferable to

ing. He babe eternal adieu, therefore,
to the classics, the arts and the sciences,
and ~zealously set himself to the pursuit
of a barbarian career. His most remark

surround himself with n bodyguard of

rode horseback man fashion, used the
