Miss steiners Fleurette Opera Company Re-
bel on Account of Unpaid Salaries.
A letter TO the Baltimore World, says :

A letter to the Baltimore World, says
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.-THE usual matt
nee at the Arch. st. theater did not take place
Wednesday. The disarmament of the ellen
rette'; opera company which had been en-
gagged for the week at that house, caused the
halt. The company, which was organized in
New York recently, under the management
of Miss Emma Il. Steiner, opened at the Arch
on Monday night. The business ofthe com
pany previous to its arrival here had been
poor, and salaries were due the members.
The manager had promised to pay up on
Monday, but failed to keep her promise.
Several members rebeled and refused to work
after Monday night, and they were rep laced
by understudies
On Tuesday "A committee of the members
waited on Manager Holmes, of the Arch st.
theater, who promised them their salaries at
the end of the week if they worked. They
wanted the back salaries, but as they had
been contracted before coming 10 this city,
Mr.. Holmes could not be responsible for them.
On Tuesday night the members of the com
pany played their parts so inditferenty that
it was decided to close the house for the rest
of the week. The principals of the company
went back to New York Wednesday morning,
but the chorus had no money to get out OF
town with and things looked very blue for
time.
Their trunks were held for board at the
hotel where they had been stopping. Those
who had any jewels or valuables fastened to
pawn them, and generously distributed the
proceeds among their less fortunate compan-
ions. Miss Steiner, although i'll and hardly
able to leave her hotel, managed during the
day to raise enough money to pay the fare of
the chorus back to New York. Assistant
manager John Van Buren,, who had charge of
the scenery and properties, succeeded in
getting money to pay the charges on the stuff,
and looked after gettingit back to New York.
1t is expected that the company will be reor-
ganized and taken on the road again.

Simon Golibart and w. d. Slack are the
mammoth patoto growers of the season, theirs
weighing one pound and upwards each.
Many of the housewives are complaining OF
the cans they have recently bought that the
vegetable or fruit spoils in them, Much of
this can be avoided if a weight of from one
pound or more be placed on the can after the
string is placed, and allowed to remain till
the string is hard. While it is hot the string
is soft, the heat pressing the lid up little,
and air Greens in when the contents cools and
contracts, hence the trouble.

The fatal accidental shooting of little six
year old Harry Price, at North East, Cecil
county, with revolver in the hands of his
cousin, Harry P. Carr a boy of 10 or IA years,
is warning to parents and guardians against
allowing children to carry weapons of this
sort. Pistols and cigarettes for boys of ten
der years. What can parents be thinking
about TO permit their children to use such
things? Look at the groups of boys of tender
years smoking in the streets ofthis town, after
nightfall. What is likely to be the future of
children educated in the streets at night =?
"When we see the youth depraved the nation

are culpable if they neglect to inquire into
these things.

INDIGO
To be Presented at Harris Theatre by the
Carleton Opera Company


On Monday, September 2lst, will be pre-
scented for the first time in Baltimore city,
Strauss early composition of ''Indigo," and
The Carleton Opera Company, will render this
bright and breezy production as their initial
performance of the season of '9l and '92.
Mr.. Carleton has been hard at work for the
past two months with the details of the scene
nv and costumes and now he has his entire
Company in Atlantic City, where they are
rehearsing for ''Indigo." Everything will be
entirely new, and some novel features are to
be introduced and the libretto, sparkling with
a few and good hundred illusions, is from
the versatile pen Of F. G. Buryand, the editor
of London Punch so it may be imagined that
all sombre or heavy surroundings have no
part in the Opera.
Mr.. Carleton has made a special study of
this composition of the Waltz King and in
many instances he has added new life to some
of the scenes. There are three acts in "ln-
digo,n and at the finale of the third act Mr..
Carleton sings the ''Blue Danube with the
entire vocal strength of the Company.
The Company will play all the week, with
Wednesday and Saturday matinees.

1t appears that the Republicans will find
some difficulty in putting up candidate for
Judge against ex-Attorney- General Roberts.
Mr. Harry Clabaugh has declined and Mr.. j.

we take the liberty of saying that, as this is
not political office, it would be good policy
for all parties to unite on Mr.. Roberts, q
gentleman whose qualifications are in every
respect nndoubted.
