MIKADo A SUCCESS.

The japanese Opera Mikado was pre-
sented last Monday and Tuesday
nights to large and appreciative au-
dience at the True Reformers Hall.
The rendition of the above opera
plainly demonstrated that great care
had been taken in the preparation of
the same. The several characters com
posing the caste were ably represent
ed Their stage demeanor and ges-
lures at times were SO perfect that
one would imagine himself listening
to professionals rather than amateurs.
Mr. @ Wm. Moon as Mikado, Mr..
Edward Clay as Nanki Poo, Mr.. d. C.
Jackson as Pooh Bah, were very good
and held their reputation of former
days,
Mr.. @ Drake as Pish Tush was good
He is new conner among the Rich
mond singers and has a melodious ten
or voice of considerable range and
sweetness.
Mr.. w. f. Hope as Ko Ko was con-
ceded TO be the star OF the occasion.
His artlcuiations, expression and res-
lures we're better than we have seen in
some professionals. He was in every
way suited TO the character.
Mrs. A. Harris who took the charact
er of Katisha is also a stranger in our
midst. She won for herself reputa-
tion among the musical element. The
solos and Duets of Mr.. w Z. Hope
Mrs A Harris in the love teasing af-
fair between them caused the audi
ence to break forth with a deafeninp
applause to which they responded only
TO be more heavily encored.
Miss Serena Taylor as Yum Yum.
Miss K Williams as Pitti Sing, Miss
@. Randolph, Peep Bo, did fairly we'll.
Miss Serena Taylor has a sweet voice
with wide range but volume is needed
to represent such an important char
acter. The chorus was seemingly we'll
trained and though they sang we'll was
rather weak. The performance Tues
day night was equally as good though
the audience was not so large.

Sold Out That Animated Auction Sale

Brother A. V. Norrell made a mo-
tion, as starting bid, that the Grand
Fountain give the q. w. Master $50,
OOO) twenty thousand dollars for his
plans, to be paid in such a way as will
not hurt the Institution.
THAT ANIMATED AUCTION SALE.
Here it was then that stir took
place, some of the delegates stated
that 1t was not enough, others endeav-
Oring TO have amendments recognized
raising the amount. 1t was like an
animated auction sale /"
Brother A. " Norrell stated that
he did not think this Grand Fountain
could measure the ability OF the G. w.
Master, and that when he offered $40.
600, he simply did it as bid, believing
and thinking that the Grand Fountain
would add to that and give him a
handsome sum-"
Brother NorreH was $4,000 below
high water mark. No wonder he apol-
ogized to the chief and the Grand
Fountain. Had ne started at forty
thousand, the final bid might have
been one hundred thousand and what
a smile he would have received from
the royal" countenance. Advice to
Brother Norrell-bid higher.

The Pollard Murder Case has been
the absorbing topic of conversation
during the past ten days.
Never in the history of the common
wealth has there ever been such an af-
fair which has presented to the legal
world so many unique features. The
best lawyers in the state have stood
aghast at the questions raised and
wondered that the points presented
stand without a precedent upon the
statute books in this country.
TREMBLING IN THE BALANCES.
The lives Of Solomon Marable, Mary
Abernathy, Pokey Barnes and Mary
Barnes have been trembling in the bal
ances. The cause of this was due to
the fact that - Judge Lynch" hae put
in appearance and patiently awaited
the arrival of Sheriff M. O. Cardoza
with the prisoners in Lunenburg Co.,
in order that he might unlawfullJ
hang and riddle with bullets, the bod
les Of these helpless and defenseless
people.
The cases are to come up during thi!
term of the Supreme Court Of Appeal
which is now in session in this city.
Judge Orgain of Lunenburg Co., is
sued an order requiring the sheriff Il
produce the prisoners in Lunenburl
County Court on November IL, 1895
The Supreme Court of Appeals was t.
meet November II, 1895. Thus tn
prisoners cases were virtually in tw
courts.

JAPAN.

J4paL,so officers are more like the French than the German type. Their dis cipline is kindly, and they live on familiar terms with their men.
 Japan is almost the only instance known of an aristocratic government deliberately ovcrturning its cherished institutions and forming a modern limited monarchy.
 Above the doorway of the Gankiro mu- sic hall, in Yokohama, years ago, was printed in English: For the amusement of foreigners. No dogs or Chinamen ad mitted."
 The Japanese trace descent only from tho father. Thus when m aristocrat mar ries a plebeian wife their children are his equals and quite her superiors and are apt to look down upon her.
 Up to 1860 the Japanese were poor sail ITS, and by law all Japanese junks wcre built with low, open sterns that they could not go far to sea. This was to pre- vent intercourse with other nations. The Chinese have always been good seamen.- New York Recorder
