IN MEMORY.

OF Mrs. +. Belle Adom, who died Dec. 81
1891. at Pipe Creek, Tex.I
Beloved by all who knew her,
A loving sister and friend,
Gone from all her dear ones,
Her life's journey at an end.
She has entered her heavenly home
Free from trouble and care,
To dwell forever with our dear Lord
And holy spirits there.
Gracious and sweet to every one,
A noble heart and true,
Setting a grand example
To all whom she knew
Rest in peace, oh, tired heart,
Safe from every harm,
Sweetly sleeping now thou art
In our dear Jesus arms,
Farewell, tits but for little while,
Well meet on that other shore
To dwell together in Paradise,
To part again no more.

Faust"


The Emma Juch opera company pre-
sented the above named musical and very
pretty opera to only fair sized audience
last night at the Grand. The cast ems
braced Mr.. Michelena as Faust, Mr..
Broderick as Mephistopheles, Miss Ma
tall as Marguerite and Herman Kaminski
as Valentin. Siebel. by Miss Gertrude
May Stein, and Martha, Sofia Romani,
were the Others in the cast. Sieoel was
sung and acted much better than Martha.
The latter had not much life in it.
Miss Natal sang only one strong part,
in the trio in the last act, the prison
scene. Her "Jewel Song" was rendered
unmusically, but with great fidelity to
the score, and she gave her voice no
license whatever. This may or
may not be the fault of the
great director, Mr.. Van Der Berg,
but the fault was there, nevertheless.
Michelena, and he and Mr.. Broderick
Won many warm plaudits from the
audience. The house was not very well
warmed and there was some little COM
plant from the audience.
This afternoon''Il Trovatore" was sung
with the following cast.

IT WAS A HUGE HOAX.


Bridgeport's Uprising Against That Brit
ism Flag Was Rcportoriai Illusion.
WAsBINaToN, Feb O. + Collector Edmunds,
Of Bridgeport, Conn. IN letter to the sec
rotary e the treasury says that the report
Of the assault by the Bridgeport populace
upon the British schooner tflendon for en-
tering that port without flying the Ameri-
can flag was all a hoax, Hesays.
Il Immediately sent an officer to the
wharf where she landed with orders TO re
port If there was any trouble, and he re-
ported that there was not also asked the
captain Grady If any one had threatened
70 so on his vessel and take down the flag
His answer was most emphatic denial j;
also that be knew nothing Of any disturb
ance until he read it in the papers
There We're afew young men who guyed
him about his flag bnt lac took no notice Of
it. ! am satisfied that the report OF great
excitement existed only in the imagination
Of a young and OVER Jealous newspaper re
porter, and IN my opinion there should be
severe punishment for person on a news
paper that viii send over the country such
reports utterly devoid nf truth, and which
might cause, for while at least, disturbing
relations between nationalities
*The captain OF thayessel had no Thought
or desire to insult our citizens by flying the
British flag when entering Tins port, but did
IT, and as | believe, he hld right SO to do,
that the custom officers might see as 81

President F. Ellery Anderson and Thomas
G.. Shearman. Ex-Secretary Fairchild, Fran
els Lynde Stetson, Congressman Fitch, Ev-
erett P. Wheeler and other well known
Cleveland Democrats We're present.
Mr. Mills made the principal speech, in
which for the first time he indicated the
line Of action to be followed by himself and
friends in the present congress regarding
the tariff. His first words were in refer
ence to the check which tariff reform had
received in the house Of its friends at a time
when to wayer is dangerous.
He declared his intention to oppose the
half way and standstill measures that some
Democratic leaders advocated He secuted
the idea of going back to the tariff of 1883.
He said Democrats had been fighting that
tariff for thirty years and he was for carry
ing on the war.
At the close Of his speech Mr. Mills said
II win follow where the flag points to fair
trade / win follow wherever the flag goes,
no matter who carries it; and will fight
wherever the battle is pitched"

1t Doesn't Fit the Crime ia the Case of
Chlirs Mob Leaders.
WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-rhe state depart
ment has received no cablegfam from Min
lister Egan for several days, the last one be
ing simple acknowledgment that he had
received Secretary Blaineis cabegram that
Chili's apology was acceptable to the United
States. The department expects to hear
from Minister Egan officially as 10 the re-
suit announced ia the press dispatches
from Santiago that Minister ~ Grimes Fos-
ter had announced the finding in the Balti-
more sailors aasanlt case The sentences as
contained in the press dispatches arc
thought 10 be quite light and the fact
that no one is held responsible for Higgins
death provukes some criticism in official
circles
In the absence Of definite information re-
speeting the reason for the placing Of po.
lice guard around the United States lega.
tion in Santiago, as reported by cable,
officials Of the State department are in
clined TO doubt the correctness Of the
report II it be true, however, they look
upon it as a friendly Intervention in behalf
Of Mr. Egan against the probable assaults 81
some unruly characters in the city disposed
still TO hold unfriendly sentiments toward
the representative Of this government. The
reports from Santiago the past few day
have all agreed that the feeling toward Mr.
Egan has greatly improved, especially j.
official circles, aud upon this Foundation
officials ia Washington take favorabl
view Of the probabilities in that city.

LINCOLN, Neh. Feb. Ex-Governor Thayer
has at last made public his intentions He
called together the correspondents and gave
them the following statement: 'In regard
70 the governorship / win say that my
attorneys are waiting to get the fun text Of

ington As yet they do not know what it
really contains, because Of the conflicting
reports, / am anxious to surrender the
office, but do not propose to act precipi-
lately and without fun knowledge Of what
the decision does really mean The clerk Of
the United States supreme court wired Mr.
Webster that the decision Of the supreme
court of Nebraska was reversed and the
case was remsrided for further proceedings.
when it is known what the DECISIONS we
viii know how to act am ready to com
ply with its requirements. The fact that
the case is remanded for further proceed
ings certainly means that something fur
ther is TO be done before I can surrender

Judges sustain the position that the en-
abling act made Governor Boyd a citizen.
That is a minority opinion.

The question is as to my right TO turn over

Of the Nebraska supreme court placing me
in the Office Of governor is reversed by the

supreme court renands the case here for a
reversal Of its Judgment and further pro

pose Of this Office.
This is not personal matter between

act as follows. Section Every nan,
woman and child who shall go dry
throughout an entire week shall be deemed
guilty Of a misdemeanOr. Section This

The senator declined 10 be interviewed
regarding his bill With very sober
eountenance he said that he should invoke
a Republican caucus to discuss the bill be-
fore he would give any information as to its
intent
There was a fight in the assembly over
the reference 70 a committee Of the Martin
bin authorizing inspection OF foreign cor
pnrations other than financial, insurance
and railroad corporations Speaker Bush
referred the bill 70 the general laws COM
mittee, aud after Martin, George Bush and
General Husted had foug' %with Guenther
to get it away from his Committee, on
motion Of Martin the house sent the bill to
the Judiciary committee, where the sponsor
OF the bill can see that there is no monkey
work wi,zit
The provisions requiring the results Of
the inspection Of the attorney general to be
published in the newspapers caused the
scramble for this bill This provision hits
hard the industrial trusts like the American
Sugar Refineries, the Cotton Oil Distillers
and Cattle Feeders, National Cordage and
like companies.
Two laws were signed by the governor
One is an act amending the charter Of the
city of Buffalo and the other is measure

Of his coffee cup, md he called his brothers
attention TO it. Two weeks ago he was
seized with a violent vomiting. This grew
80 bad that his wife's sister, Miss Barbara
Heybeck, who had been suspicious Of her
own sister, brought Pietri TO this city. He
fingered here several days in terrible agony
but finally died. The doctors attending him
gave it as their opinion that he had been
poisoned

was stated that the post norton confirmed
the diagnosis of araenical poisoning The

simply because the treasury grossly misinan-
aged the case. The fact is the law officers
Of the crown had at the eleventh hour come

ing money under false pretences would not
hold good. Their united wisdom could not
discover that until the miserable prisoner
had been made to suffer hours II horrible
torture in court
Nobody demands this prosecution. Fun
