There ls many q sweet romance cher
fshcd by the visitor to New York that
is mover dreamed of by the prosaic, ev-
erydny people of business Much OF this
romance is necessarily connected with
the hotels. In these old hotels every
room Is interviewer with the history of
hundreds of persons, and every time one
OF these persons is i'll the city the inter

OF the thing. But, like all young mar

enough to look over the register lust to
ascertain whether tue room-Nyc knew

THAT settled it. So l went up stairs
and told my wife about it. There was
no help for it. Our room was good
enough, but she thought it would be so
nice if we could have tho same one her
mother and father had There was no

LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUM-
Pssrson's Big Spectacle ut tho A cade,ay of
Music Tonight.

Pearson's Big Spectacle at tho A cadeIay of
Music Tonight.
Mr.. Pearson, who for the past year or
two has controlled an unusually large
number OF melodramatic ractions,
has this season Tin addition to nine
others) organized company for the
production Of one of the most massive
stage performances OF tho season. The
play is called Land Of the Mid night
Sum-" which of course all know to be
the North. 1t is written by Edwin
Barbour, who Of late has given us some
version of "She, Queen of Kor," and
The District Fair" now upon the
road. Land of the Midnight Sun"
may BIO described bes, as a spec tacul ar
romance, the story being not extremely
unlike Valentino and Orson, il we could
imagine that famous legend in
modern clothes. To get some thing new
in scenic splendor has of lato been hard
to conceive, but in Mr.. Barbour's play
we have some wonderful pictures which
80 far have not been drawn upon to any
extent.
Plays have not been located much in
the polar regions, but now we will see
ships crushed by mountains Of ice, by
tno llBnI OF inc aurora BOreallS. Ih0
burning Mount Skapta will be seen in
terrible eruption, dealing death and de-
VISITATION to the islanders, and truthful
ecenes of the fearful sulphur mines will
be depicted with perfect realism. Aside
from The mechanical and scenic effects
the play contains many situations which
admit of powerful acting. The leading
parts will be played by William Har-
court, William Humphrey, Edwin Bar
bour, Kate Gilbert, Ada Lytton and
May Wheeler. These we'll known able
players will be supported by one of the
largest companies on the road Land
Of the Midnight sun" will be seen in ell
its splendor at the Academy OF Music

A Taxpayers Question.
MoHAyE COUNTY, Jan. 10, '94

WohASE SObNIfp Jhus ~, Of.
EDITOR MoHAyE COUNTY MINER
Dear SIR; II you have a moments 8
time to lend to the public, would like
to ask you question and have you make
answer through your columns, If agree
able. The question is this: What have
the Board Of Snpe, visors done about
letting the contract for the care OF the
INDECENT si.k for the year 1894? 1t is
reported that they rejected all bids and
continued the care in the hands of the
last years contractors and at the last
years figures, while some Of the new bids
are away below that OF last year. II
this is fact why have the supervisors
done so? Yours &c,
TAXPAYER
As we understand the matter these
bids were made for the care OF INDECENT
sick OF this county for the year 1894.
One bid figured up s6.l5 per day for each
patient, another 1915 and the other
$I.65. The present price for each patient
is $3.50. The board refused to let con-
tract, claiming that they wanted to get
figures from q hospital in California.
Now, it is a well known fact that many
patients placed on the county cannot be
moved out of town and that contracts
for their care will have to be let, whether
the other patients are sent to California
or not. BY not letting contract a, re-
quired by law this county can be
worked" in good shape until such time
as the board sees fit to let one. The
lowest bid made by one OF the would-be-
contractors would cause a saving over the
old rate Of 1896 per day. We do not
know whether the board intends to let
contract or not.-ED
