The Great Extravaganza a Howl
ing Success.
When David Henderson announces a
spectacle. the public crowds the theater
in the supreme confidence it will be
something we'll worth seeing, and it is
never disappointed. Take, for instance,
the throng that filled all the available
space at the Metropolitan last evening.
Ali Baba' was the spectacle
announced, and the multitude went
prepared to see. shear and enjoy.
1t did all three. Henderson has made
record in this line, and is alone and I'M
approachable. Ali Bahia" is staged
magniticently. Special attention is
given 10 these effects, and they are
simply superb. There are two water
Scenes-one cascade and the other
fountain, and The effect, when thrown
into bold relief by strong electric
light, with colors playing through it, is
grand. The closing effect. The Birth
of the Butterfly" is a fitting
climax of the spectacular grandeur.

ing specially new, but great deal of

current operas have been woven in and
are entirely acceptable. The company
proper is about the same as gave "Sin-

saying enough. Among the tavOrites,
some for fun, some Tor music, and more

AN EXQUISITE SORROW
Touched All Who Learned of Mrs.
McIVer's Death.

Touched All Who Learned of Mrs.
McIver's Death.
The announcement of Mrs. Francis f.
McIver's death will cause general sad
ness here, where she has been known
from childhood to wOmanhood. There is
a feeling of deep melancholy in the
thought of her loss-not altogether that
she leaves two little children and de-
voted husband, but because with her
goes out of the world so much lowell
ness of character which, in the per-
fecting touch Of years, would have
become bencficence in our
human intercourse. For seemingly
such exquisite beauty of person was
never before so informed with a like
spirit of generosity, kindness. i'm
pulsive goodwill and lavish helpful
ness when service was really needed.
In any emergency of sorrow or sickn ess
she would work without stint for the
distressed. Her spontaneous liberality,
in thought and deed, was rare. What
ever she had she gave without the slight
est trace of selfish reservation, so that
in dying she had no need of that
detachment from earthly belongings
which is keen struggle to some de-
parting souls. She had been born
without that selfish instinct. Through
out her short life she took far greater
pleasure in having her immediate world
enjoy, almost with sense of owner
ship, the material things which are
boarded and treasured, yet which she
often gave outright. too, without deem
ing it in the least unusual.
AS it was in material possessions so
was it with her gifts and accomplish
ments. The present generation OF wor-
shippers in ST. Mary's church will recall
with sadness for many"a year to come
the soulful voice that 'lent glory and
a charm" to its choir. The last time it
was heard there was Easter Sunday two
years ago, when, to religious feeling, it
was as sweet as the breath OF English
violetS.
And this blessed Easter, with its glad
sunshine and twittering OF birds, thrills
the heart into saying, How light are all
our griefs to thee, o Nature! But the
soul knows that out of this environment,
rife with memoranda of loss and be-
reavement. there is the resurrection and
the life.

In other departments values are steady

TORONTO, Ont, April 1.-The move
ment Tor political union with the United
States is developing fast. Almost every
town in Ontario aud Queoec has It's
political union association, through
which an active propaganda is carried
on. Ii is believed that the time has
now arrived when the Canadian resi-
dents in the United States should be
asked to assist IN the great movement
for the unifcation of the North Ameri-
can continent An appeal to the
Canadians Of the West was issued last
evening by Elgin Myers, one of the
leaders of the political union movement
In.thiS province. Mir. Myers is the cOun-
" crown attorney of Dutferin county
who was dismissed from his position by
Sir Oliver MOwat. premier OF Ontario,
because Of his refusal to repudlate his
belief in the movement for polit-
zeal union. Then follows the adj
dress of Mr.. Myers, which con-
tains nearly 2,00O words. After making
an appeal 10 the Canadians who have
United States, the address says:
We are forced 10 rely on Great Brit
ain Tor our development. but, unfort-
unately Tor US, that empire is in The po-
sition of an oyergrown man, whose
heart is too small and weak TO prODel
the life blood to his eXtremities, which
consequently wither and decay"
Concerning the feeling for union
Nj. Myers says: ''As to the feeling in
favor Of union among the masses of
Canadians, il has become so strong that
the important problem now for solution
is how to organize the sentiment into a
fighting and prevailing force against the
political party organizations that al
ways fight any Of the QueS-
tons containing disturbing
element Of unknown quantity.
The United States in their civil
war sacrificed three billions Of money
and 100000 of lives To preserve TO the
United States territory OF but fraction
of the Importance to them that Can
ada is.
The union would tor all time free
the people Of the United States from all
danger and menace Of foreign wars.
Canada, with population which may
in time reach 55,O0,0OOO or 10000
600 of people, united with
the rest of the British empire, in
alliance possibly with another European
country jealous OF America 5 suprem-
acy, could, with its 1000 miles Of bound
AIRY Incapable OF defense at all points,
infiict untold injury on tine United
States. Should this occur, the people
of the latter country would. when too
late. realize the criminal folly of not
having saved themselves from 50 great
a calamity when they had the OppOr-
tunity of doing so with but little
EFFORT
In closing the address Mir. Myers
makes an urgent and eloquent appeal to
all native-bOrn Canadians TO help the
annexation movement.

His Fascinating Devil at the
Grand.

Grand.
1t is the prevailing impression among
regular theater goers, those who go to
everything. indiscriminately and without
understanding, that because a play is
old the interest attached to it is less
ened. Though many who attended the
Grand last evening to witness the pro-
duction OF "Faust' had never seen the
play before they declared it to be not
up to stke standard because Marg uerite
did not perform a skirt or serpentine
dance. and because Mephisto did not
occasionally disguise himself as a SER
pant.
To the thinking members of the audi
ence the play carried deep lesson.
such as was intended by Goethe when
he created the allegory. To the others
it was but blood and thunder per-
Torrance with lamentable and unin-
teresting lack of both condiments. The
performance last evening was an unu-
suaIly good one, and the audience testi-
fed appreciation by number of curtain
calls. Mr.. Morrison as Mephisto made
a fascinating devil. The principal
charm Of his work is the thoroughness
of detail and attention to little things,
an example which could he followed to
advantage by many of the members of
his company. Miss Florence Roberts as
Marguerite was naturally graceful,
charming and bewitching. 1t would not
De justice to her personality to state
that it was all acting, nor credit to her
study and work to say it was natural.
She played her part well, and assisted
Faust to more than one curtain call.
w. r. Owen as Faust worked hard, but
his conception of the part seemed to
be more gloomy and taciturn than the
lines of the author would warrant lie
seemed to have retained many Of his
aged characteristics in spite of the reju-
nivated process to which he had been
subjected by Mephisto. r. w. Law,
renee as Valentine was STACEY. His
aSpirated tones were more indicative OF
shortness of breath tnan emotion, and
he ranted just little. Mrs, Clifford as
Martha was excellent. She played her
part well, and she evidently worked
hard to arrive at proper conception of
her lines. She worked i'll entire har-
mony with the others, and made very
difficult and ungenerous, on the part of
the author, role attractive.
The faults above mentioned are given
as such. The merits of the players
greatly Outshone the dement's.
and their combined work made
the performance one of the most
interesting seen in the Grand for some
time. The scenic effects were very
fine, and the elecric effects were agree
ably startling. Those who delight in
seeing a great work treated in master
tul manner will have the opportunity of
seeing Faust at the Grand during the
remainder OF the week.

GREASE FoK GUNPowDER.
A New Explosive to Be Used in
Germany.

A New Explosive to Be Used in
Germany.
BERLIN, April "A commission OF
artillery experts has been testing for
several days at the Jetterburg a new
explosive which is intended TO replace
ultimately gunpOwder in the German
army. The explosive is brown fatty
substance OF the consistency of frozen
OIL when exposed in ordinary tempera-
lures. Ii retains the consistency up TO
Mp degrees Fahrenheit. y shock or a
spark does not set it off. When used III
guns the explosion Is obtained through
contact with another chemical COM
pound. The explosion is almost
unaccompadied by smoke, and
the defamation is incOnsiderable.
The recuil is very slight, even when the
heaviest charges have been used. The
explosive does not heat the weapon suf-
ficienlly To cause difficulties in the way
OF rapid firing, and cartridges once used
are easily Tetlied. For the present rifle,
model of 1888. the new compound Is not
available, but il future tests be as salts
factory as the recent ones, II VIII be IN
uOduced generally in the artillery
branch of the service. Four models or
new army rifles, having many adYan-
tageS over the rifle now in use, have
passed successfully the trials of the
small arms inspectors. The inventor OF
all four is DR.. Weiss, of the Gera dyna-
mite factory.
