Musical gossips declare that PATHS

signs of failing. They allege that the diva

she formerly took with such brilliant ease
Be this as it may, there is no doubt that in

The executive committee of the Actors
Society, a kind of theatrical trade union, are
about to start a new dramatic weekly in
rivalry of the existing papers of that ma
ture. Experts in the business are pretty
unanimous in predicting the failure of the
enterprise.
The lessees of the Theater de Ia MOnnaie of
Brussels, Stauman & Calabresi, have begun
suit against the dramatic paper Leventail,
for 10000 francs damages for libel in as
sorting that the composer Reyer was dis
gusted with the singers and the orchestra
provided for the opera Salaambo. The trial
of the suit will probably begin III Brussels

Conservatives Voted for Redmond.

Reports of the checkmen employed by the
Tory managers at the Cork election show
that over 400 known adherents of the Tory
party entered the polling places, and as the
Conservative candidate received only 116l
votes the conclusion is undeniabe that up
wards of $50 Conservative votes were cast
for Redmond, The anti-Parnellites assert
that the election expenses of the Parnellites
must have been fully e1000. and they do
not see where the money came from. They
claim that it must either have been stolen
from the tenants fund or obtained from the
Conservative party's treasury. An in
quiry is threatened on this point prob
ably to Offset the demand which
the Parnellites will make for second cleo
ton on the ground of undue clerical inter-
ference.
Troops and extra police have been drafted
to go to Templemore tomorrow, in view of
the probability of disorder there on the oc-
casion of the county convention, at which
Flavin, Healy, O'Brien and Dillon are ex-
pected to speak. The Parnellites are
making threats that they will lynch Healy.

The Wood VIII Case.

The probate suit relating to the will of
the late Mrs. Anna Maria Wood, formerly
of the lodge, Ethan, is the third in the
special jury list of the division, and will be
heard on the 18th inst. Its title in the Off
cial list is Parnell formerly O'Shea) VS..
Wood and Wood, (O'Shea, Steal and others
intervening). The plaintiff is the
youngest daughter of the late
Rev. Sir John Page Wood of
Hatterley Court, baronet. In 1867 Miss
Katherine Wood married Capt. O'Shea of
the Eighteenth hussars. Under the will of
her aunt, Mrs. Anna Maria Wood, she was
left the sole legatee of 9190,0OO. The will
is disputed by Mrs. Parnel's brothers,
Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, V. c.,
and Mr.. Charles Wood, d. L.,
who allege undue influence.
Under former wills they were benefited,
but their names were omitted in the last
testamentary disposition. The deceased
was ninety-eight years of age when she
died. A large array of queens counsel will
appear in the case, which will be of an
character.

Bismarck's views, the emperor's en-
phatic reiteration becomes intelligi-

bear the appearance of replies
to criticisms which he feels rather than

wonderfully positive declaration that at any
sacrifice Germany will retain Alsace and
Lorraine. This announcement is scarcely
Ineligible, except on some such SUPPOSE

and retailers, The other was of brick,
three stories high, occupied by the
bakery and confectionery establishment of
S. B. Latfarty. About twenty people We're

bakery. These heard the premonitory
cracking and rushed out of the back door,
all being saved.
In Herrick & Sons store We're the book

Of whom jumped through back windows
and doors. Sumner was hurt on the

The Sixth Silver Medal Contest.


The sixth silver medal contest was held
at the Opera Hall last Saturday evening
under the direction of Mrs. E. d. Carson.
There was a fair attendance, but the
exercises, while all quite interesting, were
hardly up to the standard as given in
former contests. This was due wholly to
the fact that the work of training and
practice was not begun until the Tuesday
prior to the entertainment. There was
too much to learn in that short time, par
tioularly for the smaller children who
sang, End the great wonder is how SO
much could be accomplish in so short
time.
There were eight contestants for the
medal. Following are the names:
Grace WEIGH, Edna Mapes, Marion
Hunt, Blanche Mspes, Pearl Courtney,
Josie Sweet, Ida Lawr~ ce and Bessie
Ferris Each one did well and deserves
special mention, which we would be
pleased to give if we had the space; and
those who failed to secure the medal
only one could get it.|may have the
satisfaction OF knowing that they did not
fall far behind.
The judges were Mrs. L. d. Monroe.
J. w. Carson and s. r. COwick and Their
decision was usanimous. B -sie Ferris
received the highest marking and the
silver medal. Grace WEIGH was next to
the highest.
The class of little girls performed their
parts very well indeed. considering the
time they had for practice, and were
loudly applaudcd.
Mrs. Carson gave recitation which
was well received
These medal contests are highly edu-
catinDal in their tendency and we are
pleased to note that our citizens take 90
