Colonel McCaulI's Case.

Colonel John a. McCaull, says the New
York World, sadly exempifies in his own
person the yicssitudes of the theatrical pro-
feSsion. He was the junior partner of the
firm of Ford Il NcCaull, who took the Bijou
Opera House about ten years ago, and gave
light opera there with such people as Lii
liam Russell, Harry Brown and a dozen more
of the stage faYOrites Of that day. After
ward he went 10 the Casino and In due
course of time acquired fame as the leading
producer of comic opera in this country.
Colonel NcCauil is now in straitened cir
cumstanees, having been stricken with
paralysis some time ago, and the dr. tic
profession talk Of giving him a beBeG. 1t
should be remembered that in the DAYS of
his health AMI prosperity no man was more
ready that he to come forward when others
were in distress

THE GREAT BATTLE-E. W, Napa, Cal.
In the Century Magazine for June, 1884,
Theodore Roosevelt compared Gettysburg
and Waterloo to determine which was the
greater battle. He said "At Gettysburg
there were present in action $4,000 to 5000
Union troops. and of the COnfederateS some
$1,000. At Waterloo there were 10000 sol
diers of the Allies under Wellington and
Butcher, and Y, 600 French under Napoleon;
or, there were about 10000 combatants at
Gettysburg and about 10000 at Waterloo.
In each case the weaker army made the at
tack and was defeated. Lee did not have
to face such heavy odds as Napoleon; but
whereas NapOleon's defeat was a rout in
which he lost all his guns and saw
his soldiers become a diSOrganized rab-
Bile, Lee drew off his army in good order,
his cannon uncaptured, and the morale of
his formidable soldiers mistaken. The de-
feated CoEfederates lost in killed and
wounded Il, $780, and captured 7467, some of
whom were likewise wounded, or 49, 00 in
all the defeated French lost from $4,000 to
9O,0O0-pTobabiy nearer the latter number.
The Confederates thus lost in killed and
wounded at least % per cent of their force,
and yet they preserved their artillery and
their organization, while the French suf-
fered an even heavier proportional loss and
ing the vctorS we find that the forces OF the
Allies at Waterloo consisted of several diff
ferent kinds of troops, and together with
the 1fOssps can best be presented in tabu-
lated form. Wellington had under him 6S.-
600 English, Germans and Dutch Belgians,
while Butcher had 81, 900 Prus5ians.

An actor In one of the Broadway tneaters,
celebrated not more for his talent than for
the frequency with which he has adventured
into matrimOny, not long ago gave the name
of one of DIR. HOughton's curates as refer
ence in a business transaction. The mer-
chant made haste to the Little Church
Around the Corner and preferred his re-
quest for particulars concerning the fnan-
cial standing and reliability Of the proposed
customer.

hastily, Il can give you noguaranty, my good

he airs the dramatic fortunes OF the wlsest

that Knhler has gone to great expense in
making this play ready for the public. Spe-

Ritzau, which the local press indorSes as
complete success. Particular praise is
given Nine. Emilia Tojetti of San Francisco,
who was the vocalist on the occasion. ''She
sang her NUMBERS" says the Independent.
Fin faultless style and was encored on each
appearance She has rich soprano voice
and uses il most sklifully. Her selections
were classical and, while not SO pleasing to
many as more familiar music would be,
tEey were greatly enjoyed by musical peO-
pie. Nine. TOjetti won earnest applause
and graciously responded with happy en-
cores" Musicians generally admit that the
Stockton Philharmonic has attained excel
lence in rendering classical music.

In Short supply.

According to a New York exchange the
muse OF comic opera Is apparently growing
less prolific every year. In France and
England no new work Of even slight value
has as yet been produced during this season.
Germany seems almost as badly off An
operetta by Whitman and Wenberger, en-
titled zine UhIans," is the only recent pro-
duction that seems to have merited any
kind Of favor. And the accounts Of comic
Opera successes, of all others, must be taken
with a considerable pinch of salt. If, how
ever, the Uhlans," which, by The way
has its time of action during the late Franco
German war, IS really the entertaining, tune
full work it is SAID to be, we shall, beyond a
doubt, in the present dearth of good mate
rial, be introduced To il ere long by means Of
an English adaptation. Perhaps Americans
are to produce the comic opera OF the future.
