A Plain Precau ton.

Stomach Bitters is a specific 1t acts promptly
against the malarial taint it IL most effective.
Emigrants to and denizens of regions in the
west where miasmatic complaints are periodi-
cal visitanls, should be mindful of this and use
the bitters as a safeguard. For constipation,
biliousness, rheumatism, ia grip kidney
and bladder troubles, the bitters will be found
no less useful than in cases of malaria.
Against the injurious effects of exposure, bod

INDIo, on the Colorado desert, one of
the stations on the Sunset route of the

ADJUSTMENTS.

Minnie Hauk gained her greatest
prestige in the role of Carmen, then
Zelie de Lussan set London by the ears
as the Spanish zingara, but Emma
Juch's characterization of this super
latively trying role last night is the
closest realization of Bizet's ideal that
has yet been presented. Carmen not
only calls for the widest musical en-.
semblement, but is equally exacting as
a great acting. part. Miss Juch fused
hei identity in that OF the warm blood
ed, coquettish cigarette girl of Seville,
and touched the Tyre of passionate love,
until its chords vibrated with tragic
tenseness and sensuous'power. No diva
ever Gang the Amenera with more
forceful effect than it was sung last
night, and her superb work in the first
act charmed the fancy of her auditors,
and raised them to high enthusiasm.
in her acting in the successive love
episodes with Don Jose and Escamillo,
her every gesture limned the 1.-the, vol
uptuous, tigerish nature of warm
sunny CLINE. She was gracefully and
luminously wicked, and poured forth
siren songs that would have charmed
an ascetic anchorite to brave the dark
est terrors of hell. Emma Juch is the
ideal Carmen.
The score of Carmen is beloved bv
musicians for the harmonic Difficulties
that overwhelm the presumputous tyro
who essays its rendition. 1t is wonder
fully rich in colorlng, and the orchestral
and choral intricacies are the work of
genius in some respects as exuberant as
that of Berlioz. 1t is really succession
of gorgeous tone pitches which present
in vivid coloring the deepest phases of
this fire that consumes the heart are the
of rare, refined delicacy, and as full of
religious inspiration and lofty sentiment
as if they had been scored by Handel or
Haydn. The Michaela of the cast was
Sofia Romani, who was pal alpably in poor
voice and inadequate to the require
ments. She cut the grand aria, that
beautiful andante movement in the
third act, entirely.
Mr.. Mertens made a splendid Esca-
milo. Possessed OF a fine physique
and a powerful baritone voice, with
great deeps of expression and quality,
he makes superb toreador, and in the
Bull.Fighter's Song received deserved
encore. Mr.. Michelena as Don Jose
had one of the most trying roles ever
scored for tenor, and acquitted him
self admirably, and the love duo with
Carmen in the second act was one OF the
most brilliant morceaux of the evening
The chorus were somewhat uncertain
and weak in the female voices in the
first act with perhaps the execution Of
the cigarette girls chorus, See white
cloudlets rising" The opening chorus
of the third act, massive sequence OF
rhythmetic progressions, was finely
sung, and en- passent the orchestra were
equally potential; in fact, the orchestra
work was the best they have yet given,
which, after their strong showing in
Faust, fixes high standard. The
minor characters did fairly well.

The mere announcement of the COM
ing of the original Swedish dialect
comedy, Ole Olson, at the Los Angeles
March 30th and 3lst, has already caused
a very noticeable stir among local thea.
ter-goers. And it is safe to presume
that when the much heralded Ole makes
his appearance Wednesday evening,
breathing room will be at premium.
Ole Olson contains much to interest and
amuse that class of people enjoying an
evening of laughter at the theater, the
many complicated situations in which
Ole finds himself furnishing world of
amusement for all. Former presenta-
tions of this piece can in no way comps re
with the production this season. The
management have gotten together a
highly competent company of comedi-
ans and singers, and with the aid of
some new specially features the show is
materially frightened and strengthened.
The piece is founded on the adventures
OF an unsophsticated Swede in America,
and the incidents, which follow in rapid
succession, keep an audience in a con-
tinual roar of laughter. Ben Hendricks
essays the role of Ole, which is the
principal male character of the piece,
and is pronounced by all who have seen
him as the best.

A most remarkable soprano, Marie
Decca, of Washington, will be heard in
the United States Marine band concerts
here. She is of noted patriotic lineage,
and possesses voice of almost une-
qualed sweetness and fiexibility among
American girls. This has been wonder
fully developed under the most careful
training, and when she appeared at
Chickerlng hall, in New York, about a
year ago, after returning from three
years of earnest study under the great
Marchesi, the New York Sun said that
Mile Decca WAS the best exponent of
that remarkable method America had
heard, and that her singing was so bril-
liant as to place her almost alone upon
her pinnacle.

Hints to Letter Writers,

A few simple rules should be borne In
mind for guidance, whether in letter or a
note. In the first place there is the man.
ner of address. Begin any note or letter
to an acquaintance or person to whom
you write for a favor, an inquiry, an
autograph, etc, Dear" etc. The Dear
is mere matter of social form, as mean
ingless as any commonplace society phrase,
but accepted by the best authorities as
correct. ii writing an order to workman
who isto he employed, or if answering
note or letter addressed in the third per-
son, use this formula: Miss Tor Mrs.) -
would like \. B. to come here at 9 a. m.
and attend to the carpentering needed, +" or,
"Mrs. n. is in receipt of Mr.. b. note Of
the 10th, and she regrets she is unable to
give him the information desired" 1t is
inelegant to begin any letter Friend, =" etc,
although adopted by many well educated
people. The Dear" etc, in such case
should be used.
More mistakes, however, are made in
signatures, and here | would also suggest
few simple rules. Never sign your name
with prefix of any kind. The reason is
obvious. If you sign your letter, Yours
truly, Miss Mary Smith," for example, you
make use of title, the Miss" having
nothing whatever to do with your name
which is your signature. Therefore ETH
quetts requires you should sign as, for ex-
ample, "Yours truly, Mary Smith," In the
event of writing to any firm OF person Who
would In return need to know how to adj
dress you, put Mrs" or Miss" in brack-
cts little distance to the left of the sigma
ture. In addressing a gentleman on bust
ness in a purely formal manner write thus;
Charles J. Brown, Esq. Dear SIR" And
in such case always sign, yours respect
fully" etc.-Harper's Young People.
