senting the Plaza el Toro was very
realistic The costumes and girls ere
both pretty, aud the latter are partieu
larly shapely The imitation of the
dance of La Carmensita by Miss Jennie
Joyce, was one Of the very ENJOYABLE
features, and Miss joyce gives a very
fair illustration Of the poses ond move
ments Of the graceful Spaniard. She
was twice recalled for her excellent
dancing The singing of Miss Alice
pebrimont is particularly fine, and she
was recalled very often. Many other
good artists in this line of work are
connected with the company, and the
entire cast Of characters is composed of
good talent. The same play will be

REV THOMAS DIXoN's ARRAIGNMENT OF
TIE EXCISE BOARD.

REV THOMAS DIXoN's ARRAIGNMENT OF
TIE EXCISE BOARD.
Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr.. at Association
Hall yesterday, prefaced his sermon by
spirited attack on the saloons.
The saloon" he said. lis the mightiest
single political force in America to-day.
Its social power is beyond computation.
The combined wealth of the saloon is great
er than any other combination of capital
on the continent. The annual income of
the concern is $500 900 900, a sum beyond
the conception of any finite mind. The
returns given the nation for this liberal in
vestment, are briefly, the wages paid the
100000 men employed in the manufacture
and sale of drink, 100 900 killed outright,
at least 500 900 wounded in body and
character, disease, squaior, poverty, star
vaton, crime, the debauchery of the State
IN its legislative halls The corruption of
politics, the destruction of the youth of
the land, broken hearts, broken homes,
broken lives, thousands piled on thous-
auds unknown and unmourned
The recent elections in several states re-
veal the enormous power of the triumph
ant united saloon Rhode Island repeals
prohibition. New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania vote down consti-
tutioHai amendment. keSubml>Slon has
been carried in North Dakota, and South
Dakota and Iowa are threatened The
Legislature of New Jersey has passed a
bill practically nullif wing all regulations
on the liquor traffic. The Grand Jury of
New York, sorrowfully gazing upon
thousands of indictments against saloon
keepers for the violations of law, gencr.
ously recommend that the laws he re-
pcaled, that the courts may be relieved
and the farce of indictment without trial
closed
What more the liqnor dealers of New

earth, we are unable to see. The city gov
