entertainments

The performance of Henry E. Dixey's
opera company in ''The Mascot" last even
ing attracted large crowd. Miss Juliette
Gordon, formerly of the Boston Ideals
company, sang the part as Bettina in a
very acceptable manner, as also did Harold
Blake that of Frederick Pines of Pisa.
Dixey himself as Prince Lorenzo was bright
and witty, as he always is, and furnished
much amusement.
The great fault, however, that is to be
found with last evenings entertainment
and which Disguised a number of people,
was the introduction of SO much burlesque
and vulgarity, thus corrupting what is
really the pretty opsra of Mascot" 1t is
both trying and painful 10 see THE beauti-

NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
| In "Womap Against Woman" as pre-
scented by the company which began an
engagement at the New Haven opera house
last night, that house has strong attrac-
ton for the week. 1t is really powerful
play that finds favor with the masses be-
cause it pictures sone phases of their life.
Bessie Barton was acted by Miss Marie
Edgar last night with great force and ex-

Edgar proved herself very capable act
ress by her handling of this part, which
has demanded the best ability of some
notable artists. She is young, handsome
and graceful, which materially supple
ments her talent in the rendition OF
the role. In the fourth act
which is the elimination of the play, she
was particularly effective. Eugene Sweet

and manly in his Interpretation. Mis-
: Mary Thompson was excellent in the char
acter of Hannah Barton and Miss Florenc'

Mr.. Eaton called the attention of the court
to the presence of the defendants. when

question.

Vain Regrets Over the Slaughter of Pet
Poultry.

Vain Regrets Over the Slaughter of Pet
Poultry.
In an amusing account of her farm
ing difficulties, Kate Sanborn recounts
her struggles in raising poultry. and
gives an appalling list of the maladies
to which hen-fesh is heir. Even with
the conquest of these preliminary
trials, however, difficulties do not
cease, for, having raised the chickens
from helpless babyhood to such a stage
that they have become family pets,
parting with them proves well nigh un-
endurable.
1t is hard and slow struggle TO get
my chickens killed. l say, in an Off
hand manner, with assumed nonchal-
ance:
ELLEN, want Tom to kill a rooster
at once for to-morrow's dinner; and 1
have an order from friend for four
more: so he must select five tonight"
Then begins the trouble
''Oh." pleads Ellen. don't kill dear

were brought up by hand, as you
might say, and they know me, and

couldn't eat him.
When the matter is decided, and the
guillotining is going on. Ellen and sit
listening to the ax-thuds and the
death-squawks, while she wrings her
hands, saying:
''Oh, dearie me! what world this isl
What q thing to look into, that we
must kill the poor innocents to eat
them. And they were so tame and cum
ming, and would follow me all around"

KILLED a BISHOP.
Navajo Indians DO Up Mormon Bishop
for Cause.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz-, July News has
just been received of the killing Of Lot
Smith, Mormon bishop, by Navajo In
dians, near Tuba City, in Arizona, and
it is said the Navajos are preparing to
make n general war on the Mormons in
that country. 1t seems that the In
dians assume the right to the range and
water on the public domain, and their
sheep and cattle have been ranging in
the vicinity of Smiths farm. Smith, in
order to frighten the Indians away, be-
gan to shoot their sheep, killing six or
seven of them. They Immediately re-
taliated by killing his cattle.
This incensed Smith and he opened
fire on them, firing a number of shots
without effect. The Indians did not at
first realize that they were being shot
at, but they soon opened fire on Smith
and he received bullet in his back,
the ball going through and coming out
near the right breast.
Smiths chief notoriety was achieved
during the Mormon war in 1857, when
the United States forces, 5000 strong,
were marching to Utah. Lot Smith,
with his gang, was detailed to annoy
and rob the army on its march. He had
a thorough knowledge of the country,
which gave him a great advantage over
the troops, and with his handful of men
was enabled to 'harass the soldiers at
every turn. On the 4th of October of
the year mentioned Lot Smith and his
party suddenly appeared at Simpsons
hollow, near Green river, where a gov
ernment supply train was eorraled,
dashed into the camp, took possession
of it and fred every wagon before the
troops realized his presence. Alter
wards he burned two trains on the
Sveetwater in the same manner, de-
stroying seventy-fve loaded wagons
with their loads of provisions, tents,
toO4S and clothing
