The bohemian Girl.

Baife's charming music in THE Bohe-
milan Girl" never received more pleasing
Interpretation than that given ii at Cor
dray's theater last evening by the Calhoun
Opera Company, and the results proved a
pleasant surprise 10 the very large inteI-
ligent audience that flied every seat In
the theater. This favorite old opera is
one that makes heavy demands upon the
dramatic as we'll as the lyric ability of
the leading singers, and though tho Cal
houn Opera Company had given general
satisfaction in the lighter comic operas
rendered so far in Seattle. vet there was
come misgving in the minds OF many
musical people present last night that the
classical music of Balfe wouId not find its
true opponents in the present company.

From tears to laughter is but . step"
seems TO have been the maxim which has
pervaded the minds of our native drama
lists tor the best of American authors have
devoted themselves TO the writing Of what
is known as comedy-drama This is un-
doubtedly done in order that theatcr-goers
might not be constantly narrowed during
a two and half hours sitting by the
imaginary woes of some fearful heroine
or easily repressed hero. but that few of
its moments might be devoted TO the
laughter which is concurrent upon humor
found in certain types of individuals who
must be seen in real life, and should GER
tainly be shown upon the stage. This was
done successfully in The Wife" Men
and Women" The Charity Bail" and
other plays of that kind, and with the re-
currence of new productions of this style
of play is observable a lighter vein. or
rather that their trend is still more to
humor than 10 seriousness. This is ex-
actiy the kind of play which Mr.. Charles
Dickson and his company OF players viii

day and Saturday evening OF his engage

Rh.. In .rhe Queen Of sheb.."

The appearance of Mile. Rhea and her
splendid company in new and great
spectacular play. 1.-THE Queen of Sheba. !"
at the new Seattle theater next week, is
anticipated with pleasure by those who
enjoy refined dramatic performances. Of
the merits of Mile. Rhea ii is hardly neces-
sary to speak she is too well known and
appreciated in Seattle. The play is said in
all respects to surpass anything in the
same line ever attempted, and from be-
ginning to end is a scene of Oriental spien-
dor OF the ladies of the company few
words can appropriately be said. Miss
Edith Meek, who takes the part of Balkis.
the queens handmade, has been here with
Modjeska, and is pleasantly remembered.
Miss Minnie Bowen has the part of Ma
hama. a young girl at the court of Jerusa-
lem. She has been seen in farce-comedy,
but this season has cast her fortunes with
Rhea Miss Anne Fording g. like Miss Bowen,
has followed farce-comedy and comic
opera until this season. She had an i'm
portant part in "O'Dowd's Neig hbors"
and sang with the Baker Opera Company.
In the Queen of Sheba" Miss Fording
will be seen as Zillah. Miss Fannie Hunt
is New Orleans girl. brought up in the
South and has already shown evidence of
her dramatic ability. Miss Marie Cool
idgc was formerly connected with the
Pennsylrania Grit, newspaper published
in WilIiamsport. Pa, Miss Cooiidge's
home. She served a thorough course in
Journalism and has now decided to take
up the stage. Miss Alice McGee, strange
to relate. has practiced law. She is ma
tive of Warren, Pa. and took up the study
of Blackstone when quite young. She has
appeared before the supreme court of
Pennsylvania and won her case.

An important meeting Of railway en-

James Hogan, of Chicago. organizer Of the
new labor organization called the Arneri-
can Railway Union, which embraces in its
membership all cissses Of railway en-
pIoyes from engineers TO section men.
Mr.. Hogan wall endsavor 10 organize 8
local union in this city.
This organization 10 not intended 20
antagonize any Of the existing separate
organizations Of railroad employees. but 70
mite the members of all these organizs-
tons into q general union, 80 that they
may be able to act tremendously together
for the projection Of the separate interests
Of each department of railway service.
The order will embrace engineers. Ere
men. conductors, brakemen. railway tele-
graph operators. baggagenen, swischmen.
maehinisss, ballermakers, blacksmiths,
trsckneD and express men. At the pres
emit tine there are III Canada, the United

pioyes. of whom only 10000 are organ
lied. The order has only recently been
organized. aud over 100 local unions have
been established in the last seventy days.

Brotherhood of Locomotive FiresDen, Is
president Of the order The membership
being large the dues are light and average
about s. per year Local and general In
surance features are optional with the
members and are based on the nature of
the employees occupation. An employ
ment bureau is also connected with the
order.
TIE recent heavy reductions In wages OF
railroad employees all over the country is
said TO DE one of tile causes for the move
ment. Ii IL claimed that the railroads
have in many instances made pretext OF
financial depression for reduction of
wages which the employees fear will be-
come permanent even If business returns
to its former condition. Mr. Hogan says
that reductions have been made on roads
which are doing larger business this year
than ever before. and which cannot make
an excuse of hard times for tie big cut.
lie says that while the present organize
ton of railway men have done much to
protect the rights OF their members, they
have not been able 20 work effectively for
each others interests. He Is confident
that by organizing ali railroad employees
in one great union the rights Of individual
members will be more thoroughly pro-
tected.

reached in the second act. Certain IL IS
that the opera as whole has rever been
better sung. saeted or staged in Seattle.
Mss Laura Clements proved herself to De
. grand opera singer in the fullest sense OF
she word, and the clear notes of her rich
pure soprano voice were heard 10 the very
best advantage throughout the second ana
third acts. Her opening song. Il Dreamt
/ Dwet in Marble Halls" generally the
test of a prima donna. was sung with
purity and force that secured for the lady
double weli-merited encore. while her
subsequent solos, duets and concerted
work were fully equal TO her efforts In
this song. and stamped her as prima
donna of the first rank. Miss Syiyes-
ter Cornish shared the honors with
Miss Clements as the Gypsy Queen,
her splendid acting being fully
sustained by the full. rich tones of her
contraito voice. The gem in her score Is
solo in the second act. bliss Forever
Past" whose melody was so patheticaily
rendered as to secure for her a double en-
core. The next in point Of force was the
part of Count Arnheim, as rendered by
Mr.. William Schuster. This gentleman
has one of the roundest and richest BARI
tone voices On the opefatic stage, anu iast
night he rendered the various beautiful
solos in q manner that fairly brought
down the house. especially his ''The
Heart Bowed Down." which is q severe
test of good baritone. Mr.. George Ly-
ding. the handsome tenor, fully sustained
his reputation as leading tenor. and sang
and acted the part of Thaddeus in most
pleasing AID satisfactory manner. Teno-s
in this opera generally reserve themselves
for the song in the last act, Then You'll
Remember Me-" and Mr.. Lyding
let out his pleasing voice
in that in manner TO Sc
cure hearty encore Mr.. Douglas A.
Flint, the jolly comedian. was in his best
as Devilshoof. and sang and acted theIp
in q manner to increase his popularity.
The chorus came in for its share of APP
plause IN The general results. and its work
did much to enhance the effects of the
singing. A speciality in the second act is
the Spanish dancing of Misses Brace and
Young, which received a warm encore.
The opera is well staged, everything last
night passed off smoothly and the salts
faction given the audience was such that
II should insure full houses the remainder
of the week.
