DOROTHY DROPS IN.

The BostonianS Heard to Good Advantage
In CelIier's Tuneful Work.
Dorothy" is built on too heavy plan
to be model opera comique, not that it is
musically ponderous, for it is rather over
light if anything in that regard, but it is
cumbrous in plot, in action and in dialogue.
Londoners were sentenced to it for three
years and liked it. There must be large
difference in taste between English and
American audiences. Despite the vehicle
the Bostonians amused very large
audience last night at the Duquesne. The
opera was very we'll sung, and part of the
reason that the performance lasted till after
II o'clock was that nearly every important
number was encored. Miss Caroline Ham
ilton, in the title role, acted vivaciously
and her singing was really admirable; in
some of the more forid passages she was
especially successful, and she reached the
high note at the end of the hunters chorus
in act II. with delightful ease. Miss Ham
ilton, Miss Davis and Messrs. Mcdonald
and Hoff gave the pretty quartette in act l.
very effectively Of the concerted num-
bers perhaps the Goodnight" chorus in
act II. was the best rendered, as it is
perhaps the daintiest in motive, and Mr..
Studley's excellent control Of the chorus
was best exemplifed in this number. The
shading in this and nearly every other con-
certed passage was nicely managed. Mr..
Eugene Cowles must learn to tone down
that terrific voice of his if he would charm
as we'll as impress his auditors. A full ex-
pansion of the lungs and exertion of the
vocal chords are desirable, of course, but
Mr.. Cowles should study the Duquesne's
dimensions. If the Penn avenue walls were
not cracked last night Mr.. Cowles
is not to blame. In fact little
repression in several places would
improve the Bostonians' performance.
One of the surprises of the evening was
the capital singing of Miss May Ulmer,
who sang in Miss Van Dykes place, and
figured wrongly on the programme as Miss
Lillian Hawthorne. Miss Ulmer's song in
the last act received the warmest applause
of the evening, and properly, for it revealed
voice youthful, fresh and del1cately man.
aged. Miss Ulmer is tyro and her timid-
ity last night hampered her q good deal, but
the sweetest song birds are often the shyest.
If some singers had less confidence and more
voice it would be just as well. =.
Mr. Barnabee was funny enough in his
quiet way as Larchr, the disreputable
sheriff, and the makeup of Mr.. Frothing-
ham as double-chinned,r rosy old innkeeper
was in itself work of art. Mr.. Hoff's
voice was very husky at the start, but i'm
proved rapidly, and in spite of his cold he
sang with power as well as finish. Miss
Lola Hawthorne's Lady Betty was a clever
bit of comedy. The costumes we're un-
usually pretty, and remarkable dress was
worn by Miss Davis in the second act. But
why say the time of the opera is 1910 when
all the characters were eighteenth century
dresses?
Tonight "Robin Hood" will be repeated.

Lively Music Among the Clans in the
Third Maine District.
LOTS OF CANDIDATES TO BACK.
Joe Manley One of the Many Who Are Anx-
ious to Get Millikens Seat.
POINTS ON POLITICS IN OTHER PARTS

rsprc1Ar TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.l
BANGOR, Me-, Nov. 10.-The political
situation in the Third Maine Congressional
district continues to agitate all the Repub-
lican bosses from Belfast to Augusta, and if
there are as many candidates in the nomina-
ting convention as there are now, it will be
q lively gathering of the clans. There are at
present four candidates in the field for the
Republican nomination-Hon. Seth L..
Milliken, who now holds the coveted posi-
ton, and would like to hold it for life;
Governor Edwin C. Burleigh, who is anx-
ions to step from Augusta to, Washington;
Hon. A. P. Wiswell, speaker of the last
Maine Hose, who aspires to higher things,
and the sagacious Vice-Boss of the Kenne-
bee, Hon. Joseph II. Manley, Mr.. Blaine s
trusted right-hand man.
1t is thought by some that Manley's can
didacy is only blind, and that he has en-
tered the list simply to run the Governor
of the track
What Republicans Have to Say.
A leading Republican of the district saws
that the old Kennebec ring has decided that
Governor Burleigh has gone far enough, and
that they don't want him in Congress.
"When the time comes" saws this Repub-
lican 'the Msnley and Wiswell forces will
unite on Milliken and the latter will get the
nomination. Blaine has no use for the
Governor in Congress and Msnley, his
lieutenant, will set accordingly"
But opinions differ, and sympathies are
various in the Third district Another, and
just as good Republican as the one just
quoted, saws: Governor Burleich is going
TO win this fight. Among the common ele-
ment of the Republican party he is strong.
He has consistent record on the prohibi-
tory law question, and this gives him
strength in the country towns. He is con-
sidered man of the people, and will go in
te the convention with votes enough
pledged TO him TO give him the nomination.
Fighting Against an Old Ring.
''It is fight against the old Kennebec
ring, which great many people want to see
smashed. The ring is strong, but not in
vincible, and believe that it can and will
be smashed. The late election in New York
shows what people think Of men who sent
the Worlds Fair from the East to Chicago,
and the people here will show to Mr.. Mill
ken what they think of his action in regard
TO that important matter. Burleigh is sure
to win
These opinions reflect the views of two
leading factions in the third districts last
fight, which is of national Importance, for
Blaine's hand is in it, and people all over
the country will watch with interest to see
whether or not the Plumed knight still
holds his sway in Maine and can pick out
Congressman TO suit himself
Meanwhile the earnest Democratic mi
nority in the Third is vastly entertain ID,
and will be ready to get in som, effective
work should the opportunity occur.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1o.-ISpeciaI Mayor
Chapin, of Brooklyn, has received this
congratulatory letter from the Governor
elect:
My Dear Mayor:
thank you for your kind congratulations
upon my election as Governor Permit me
also to congratulate You upon your election
as Congressman. You will find it q much
wider field for usefulness than any which
you have occupied, and l have no doubt
you will fill 1t to the atisfaction of your
constituents. Upon the acticn of the pres
ent Congress will depend the election of the
next President. If it succeeds in reducing
the expenditures of the Government by
100000 coo or more, thus making surplus
by which the next administration can re-
wise the tariff, you will have given US an is
sue which will win before the people
You will find the revenues of the Govern
ment mortgaged to the extent of $40 O00 600
III the shape of a sugar bounty, and no man
knows how much more for shipping
bounties, and S5000,0G0 or Sc 000 600 for public
buildings. 1t will be more credit to you and
your colleagues if you can show, at the end
of the first session, that economy has been
the watchword of the Democracy and an
easy victory will await us in 1892
Very truly yours.

father for breach of contract Was what the
people assembled in the fourth session of

Carrie A. Holmes claimed that her father,
Henry w. Smith, owed her $40, ,733. The
declaration stated that Henry w. Smith
was vice-president and director in the
Smith Organ and Piano Company, and that
the plaintiff had allowed him to deposit
500, 900 for her in the company. The Smith
family lived in Newton and were happy in
their domestic relations. Miss Smith then
married MI. Holmes, and October 21, 1889,
a credit was made to Mrs. Holmes, the
plaintiff. on the books of the company, and
June 80, 1890, a charge was made for nearly
this entire amount now sued for.
In the summer of 1890 Mrs. Holmes
learned that her father had drawn this
amount from the company and was trans
ferring real estate. He did this by means
of an order which she had signed for him,
relying on his integrity, but which she sup
posed was merely to secure to him the
money in case of her death. He drew out
all but $816. Mrs. Holmes now claims that
she did not give him the money.
