The Marie Greenwood Comic Opera
Company played 1.-The Hermit Tuesday
night before an audience that filled the
Staunton opera house to its utmost seat
ing capacity. People generally were
well pleased with the performance. Miss
Greenwood has voice of great compass,
power and endurance-wonderfu for a
lady of her small physical proportions.
All the prominent participants perform
ed their parts admirably. The singing
was excellent, the comic parts very
Iaughable, and the costumes elegant.
In the parades and dances of the ballet
girls, carried on almost continually DUR
ing the performance but having scarcely
any connection with the opera itself, =
there was the usual without reserve
exhibition of femininity in soft colored
tights, gazed upon in operas by the most
refined people with complacency, but
considered highly demoralizing when
allowed to a less degree in the bella
unions Of the Pacific slope or the ten-cent
variety halls of the large cities.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard D. Apperson's
full dress opera party Tuesday evening
was a noteworthy feature of the presen-
tation of The Hermit in the Staunton
opera house by the Marie Greenwood
Company. The persons composing the
party, with Mr.. and Mrs. Apperson, oc-
cupied the two lower private boxes. The
guests were the following couples: Mr..
and Mrs. Louis Ravenel, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Ker Jr., Mr.. W. w. McGuffin and
Miss Carrie Crowle, Mr. Z. J. Gushing
and Miss Fannie Blackley, and Mr..
Thomas Hogshead and Miss Mary Funk
houser At the conclusion of the opera
the party were conveyed in a special
street car to Mr.. and Mrs. Apperson's
residence, 343 East Beverly street, where
dainty refreshments were served The
menu embraced blue points, oysters
! fried, chicken salad, stuffed eggs, olives,
pickle, celery, sailed almonds, beaten
biscuits, fruits, frozen oranges, bisqnie,
cakes, French coffee, water crackers and
Neufchatel- eleese.ii Artistic menus,
printed in gold upon celluloid, and con-
tanning the names of the party, will be
kept by the guests as souvenirs of this
very pleasant affair.

Sad Death.

The following is reproduced from
our issue of the 91st to supply extra
copies for the relatives of the deceased,
our last edition being exhausted when
the order came ln:
At ) o'clock on Thursday morning,
Mrs. Kent, wife of Mr. Jerry Kent, of
Duck Greek, died at the residence of
Ross Humphrey in Ely, after a pain
full illness OF four or five days. Nine
days before she gave birth to a baby,
and for several days thereafter appear
ed to be getting along nicely, when
she was taken with a chill and other
complications peculiar to her condi-
ton. DR.. Campbell was sent for and
did all he could to allay her suffering
and stay the fast-ebbing ties of life,
but II was too late to be of any avail.
The lady was unconscious for twenty
four hours before her death. The
scene at the bedside was sad, very sad !,
indeed. A devoted, but nearly dis
tracted husband. a loving brother,
and some dear friends watched
through the long hours of night to sec
the spirit take flight from its earthly
tenement, for all hope of recovery had
been abandoned. Deceased was Sis
ter of Commissioner Gallagher of
Duck Greek. Mrs. Kent was highly
esteemed by all who knew her, and
we know of no death that has occur
red in this community that has caused
such general sorrow. The deep SYM
pathy of all our people go to the be-
reaved husband. brother and family,
aud the poor little infant. who on the
threshold of life is left bereft of a
mothers care. May God deal kindly
with them all. The remains of Mrs.
Kent were laid to rest at 12 o'clock
Yesterday in the Ely cemetery. Rest
in peace.

Washoe County's ulsimatum 10 the
Honorable the Nevada Legislature.

Washoe County's ulstmatum 20 the
Honorable the Nevada Legislature.
The following address from a mass
meeting in Reno was presented in the
State Senate last week, read, and re-
ferred to the Committee on Ways and
Means:
An address to the members of the
Fifteenth Session of the Nevada
Legislature:
SIRs-We are not unmindful of the
difficulties encountered by the law
making power of the State, the many
conflicting interests to be considered,
the doubt cast over important issues
oftentimes by close investigation
and the many ways in which the
path OF duty is often disguised. But
we submit in all candor to the men,
beers of the Fifteen Session of the Ne
vada Legislature that there is no room
for a doubt as to their duty in the
matter of reducing State expenses
and providing for State provement.
These issues were put clearly before
the people III the last campaign. All
the candidates of both parties were
pledged to them distinctly and speci-
fieally and, as a non partisan bust
ness meeting cf the citizens OF
Washoe county, we call your atten-
ton 10 the fact.
As a non political body, we warn
the dominant party that inaetion in
these respects will be interpreted by
the taxpayers aud citizens of all
classes to be gross violation of the
most sacred pledges men can take.
We regard 1t as the plain duty of
the Legislature to establish some
method of regulating the assessment
OF property So a To reduce the rate OF
taxation, TO reduce the mum Der of the
Legislators, decrease the mileage
charges, shorten the sessions, 10 dis
peuse Immediately with the Deputy
Treasurer, Deputy Secretary of State,
Deputy Warden, Clerk of the Su-
preme Coutt-placiug his duties upon
the Secretary of State Governors
Secretary, aud as soon as lie ConsLi-
tuition can be changed, with the Lieu
tenant Governor. Attorney General,
superintendent OF Public instruction
and all other unnecessary officers.
TO provide for a Supreme Court to
consist of Chief Justice To be elected
every six years, al a salary of So, 900
a year, and the four District Judges
TO be called together twice a year, the
Sheriff of Ormsby county To act as
Bailiff; TO reduce salaries when too
high for our resources, and make all
county expenses the subject of care
full study and eurtail ment where it is
needed.
In aid of reclamation TO create wa
ter districts, giving them powers To
own property. raise funds, store water
and reclaim lands.
We warn the party which the peo-
pie placed in charge of affair at this
time by such an overwhelming ma
jofity that To refuse or neglect TO
carry out their pledges will be a plain
invitation 10 the voters To repudiate
The party which for SO many years
has been honored with power, bat
which in this hour of trial has proven
unable to redeem its pledges.

Senate Bill No. 40.

Introduced by Senator Williams, of
Ormsby, is entitled an Act supplement
tary tn an Act entitled An Act tn
provide revenue for the support of the
Government of the State of Nevada. y
A hurried reading of the bill, which
contain fourteen pages, impresses US
forciblv that it is very cumbersome
and Objectionable addition to our
revenue laws. Itcreates State Board
of Assessors and Equalization to con-
sist of the Governor, Secretary of
State, Controller, Attorney General
aud Surveyor General, whose powers
are so sweeping as to overshadow and
take away all the powers heretofore
exercised by County Boards and
makes the latter mere puppets in the
hands of tie former. 1t is centrali-
zatlon of power in the State Board,
the exercise of which in the wrong
direction. would lead to untold evil.
The bill has been referred to the Com
mittee on WAYS and Means. 1t is to
be hoped it may find eternal repose
there, rs it does not deserve serious
consideration.
