entertainments.

THE NEW GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Gus Hills World of Novelties comes for
the remainder of the week, opening this
evening. There will be matinee Satur-
day. An exchange says: From riss to fall
of curtain there was not q dull moment.
John R. Harty, very clever juggler;
Bryant and Saville, the musical mokes,
were decidedly entertaining; Gus Hill, the
world renowned club swinger, was the
feature of the entertainment; Dillon
Brothers did decidedly clever specially;
Estelle Wellington danced rapturously;
Marion and Bell, couple of clever char
actsr vocalists, were well received; Harris
and Walters presented some clever origi-
nality; Van Leer and Barton, song and
dance team of highest merit, were very
amusing; the great Bsggesen, in his novel
performance, was probably the finest ever
witnessed.
.sThe Span of Life" direct from the
Fourteenth Street theater, New York,
where it closes its engagement Saturday
night, will open on Monday evening for
three nights and matinee. The scenery
introduced is decidedly novel and of mag
ni6cence seldom seen in melodrams. 1t
includes ten masterpieces of picturesque
stage art from the brush of the eminent
scenic artist Frank Rsffer. The most
striking of them are the cellars of Peter
Fingers public house, the lighthouse on
Coffin Rocks, Devonshire, England, the
jungles and forests of Africa and the great
Kings ohasm with its torrents of falling
water. In this scene q bridge composed of
human bodies is thrown across a wild
chasm, over which woman and child
actually pass.

A Pointer for Hostesses.

Hostesses giving dinners should con-
slider the effect on the complexion of
The color selected. Beautiful as yellow is
in candle-shades, flowers and embroid-
cry, it needs toning to take away a
certain brassy effect on.the skin. Green
also, Sh ould not be the color through
which light passes directly on the
women's faces. The popularity of
violet and heliotrope feasts possibly
lies in the fact that no shade IS so soften
ing and becoming in combination with
gas and candle light.
A violet dinner has the table scarf
lightly embroidered with the blossoms
in natural colors, with napkins and
doyleys similarly decorated. Bunches
of violets in cut glass bowls stand ir-
regularly about the board, and the
candles in the branching candelabra
of silver or china, are violet, shaded
with violet shades. A few loose
violets are in the finger howls, and the
ice is served in little urns of violet
satir, whose covers are punches of the
flower. The tinting of the viands to
carry out the color scheme of a feast is
no longer considered good form.

VoIE for Electric Lights.

ne water works amount to about $1,000
Ehe revenue, 500, making a yearly de
$cieney of $1,000, for which a tax must b'
levied. Deduct from this the $1,000
faved by running the two plants to-
eether and there is left only 5000 to be
Faised by taxation.
In the above estimate of revenues
S4400 is put down to the credit of the
Electric light. From the best informa-
tion We can get the present company
collects about $4,000 and to this was
added the very small allowance for new
lights to be taken, of 500. If the rates
are reasonable there is no doubt that
this increase wauld amount to at least
$500 or $500 instead of 5000. Secre-
tary Letherbury of the Board of Town
Commissioners estimates that we can
clear at least $500.
In the above no calculation has been
taken of the fact that the water works
get no credit for supplying the Gre
plugs. Twenty one fire pIu at S25
per year would give an additional
credit of S525. This amount would
have to be paid to a private company,
and due credit should be given for
this in the above estimate.
The revenues of plants in other
towns were taken into considerat ion;
and j Was shown that even on as small
charges as made in Newark, that town
estimates its month y profits at 800
or $1,000 year. The rates charged
