made a decided hit by her inimitable
aud self possessed acting. Although, no
doubt, thoughtlessly. chang ing her dia-
lect several times, her Interpretation OF
the part was, by far, the best piece OF
acting during the evening. At first she
seemed to overdo her part, but In
short time and until the end Of the rem
dition her every movement was watched
with amusement.
The Isabella of Miss lola Chalfant was
very good, especially when 1t Is con-
sidered that 1t was her first appearance
on the stage. Her solo Beneath the
Gloomy Convent Wall" was loudly ap.
pluded Her voice is very clear in both
the upper and lower register, although
not strong.
Mrs. F. Fl. Fisher as Donna Lucretia
was very good, her singing, in many
parts, excelling her acting. Her voice
was also heard to better advantage In
quartette or chorus work. Another
clever piece of acting was the interpre-
tation Of the part of the porters by W.
A. Jones and +. r. Maxwell. Their
amusing songs and duets, coupled with
their unique but graceful movements.
were excellent. Mr.. Jones as Senior Bal
thazar, was also very good.
The opera will be repeated this even
ing and the rendition promises to far
excel that of last evening, as the singers
have become thoroughly accustomed to
the stage and much more familiar with
their parts.

JAMES RIDDLES BEQUEsT.
Decision in an AmicabIe Suit Before tht

Decision in an AmicabIe Suit Before the
United states District Court.
Judge Leonard E. Wales sat in United
States District Court yesterday
The court met with the counsel to set
tie decree in the case Of the executors
of James Riddle, deceased, VS.. the Drew
Theological Seminary This was an ami
cable suit to obtain q construction of q
clause of the will of James Riddle, de-
ceased, and to ascertain whether the
said clause was valid as a charitable use.
1t was a provision for the setting apart
of a fund to provide for the education at
the Drew Theological Seminary Of two
young men yearly There was no dispute
as to the facts and it was brought before
the court only for the purpose
Of obtaining judicial decision, which
would discharge the executors. The be-
quest having been held valid, the coun-
sci on both sides requested the court to
determine the proper amount to carry out
the bequest without reference to a
master, and after an informal consulta-
tion with counsel on both sides, the
court fixed the amount of the trust fund
to be set apart at SIS, 900, which was sat
isfactory to the counsel for both parties
A special corporation had been created
by the Legislature several years ago to
execute a certain trust under the will Of
James Riddle, deceased, but the corpora
tion never having been organized and
one Of the corporators being dead and no
successor having been appointed within
the time limited in the act, it was CON
sidered doubtful whether the corporation
had any legal existence, and the court
appointed the Security Trust and Safe
Deposit Company the trustee to hold the
fund, and ordered decree to be drawn
accordingly.
This terminates litigation which was
entirely amicable, and intended only to
obtain a judicial Interpretation of the
will. Bates s. Harrington we're the coun-
sci for the complsinants, and Hoffecker

Laying II Before the House.
WASHINGTON. June l0.-Speaker Reed
referred the silver bill without laying
il before the house. This news was q
surprise 10 the silver men in the house to-
day, and not a very agreeable one. An
effort was made in the house yesterday to
have the bill laid before the house, and il
this had been done there is little doubt that
itwould have been put through in the form
ia which It came from the senate. The
speaker, anticipating this difficulty when
ever the bill should be laid before the
house, went over the rules carefully, and,
after consultation with the leaders on the
Republican side and with Mr. Bland and
the principal advocates Of free coinage, de-
termined that under the rules the bill need
not be laid before the house at all, and that
the reference of it was a formal matter
which the clerk could attend TO-
The bill will now be considered by the
committee and returned TO the house with
recommendations as To the senate amend
ments. 1t will take its place at the foot OF
the calendar to be called up on motion at
any time. Before it is considered It viii
be doubtless made the subject of caucus
