Tiro1i Opera-House.

Emile Melville has been especially en-
gagged as the star of the comic opera season,
which begins tomorrow evening at the
Tivoli Opera-house. The production Sc
lected for the first week is Offenbach's
amusing opera, Madame Fayart." The
title role is one that Miss Melville created
in English in this country, and it is one
especially suited to her talents. Miss Mel
vile has been singing for some years
abroad, and her temperance is an inter-
esting event in local dramatic circles.
Adolph Bauer, the Tivoli director, has
added several numbers to the score of
Madame Favart." Martin Pache, the
tenor, will sing a romance in the second
act, and Miss Millard will render a waltz
song in the third act. which have been
especially composed for the occasion.
Ferris Hartman, who has been "resting"
during the grand-opera season, will make
his temperance as the Marquis de Pont
Sable, role which will afford him many
opportunities of displaying his peculiar
talents. The next Tivoli production will
be revival of Bizet's Carmen" in which
Miss Melville and Alice Carle will alter
nate as the heroine. Preparations are
already being made for the production of
The Lucky STAR" spectacular comic
opera.

new on this coast will be presented at the
Grand. 1t is entitled, "The Diamond
Breakers" the scene OF the.stor being the
celebrated coal region of Pennsylvania.
Like all the works of its author, Scott
Marble, the piece abounds with thrilling
incidents. In one scene, for instance, the
Hero narrowly escapes being crushed to
death in a massive diamond-breaker (coal-
crusher). which is shown with its ponder
Gus machinery in full operation. Another
sensational scene occurs in the lunatic
asylum, into which the heroine is rail
roaded by relatives who have designs on
her fortune.
Breakers will be supplied by Hatch
Swain, Leslie and Florence Thropp
Coulter Brinker and Maud Edna Hall will
play the leads. The play will be lavishly

Charles w. Knox, the popular California
barytone, who made such pronounced
success at the Orpheum, and who has q
large following of admirers in this City,
will leave for the East shortly to fill an
engagement in one Of the leading vaude-
vile theaters.
Mr.. Knox has rich, pure voice of eI-
ceptional compass and timbre, which is
capable of meeting the requirements of
difficult solo work. He will no DOUBT make a
great success in heroic and dramatic roles.
Mr.. Knox was particularly happy in
number of sympathetic ballads sung dur
ing his engagement at the Orpheum. His
rendering of them showed that he had
been schooled under good masters. The
California singer will make his first ap-
pearance in the East IN an original spe-
cialty, which includes the wearing of
special costumes to illustrate the vocal
score.

I" The Best Bits"

There is always line or two in every
play that is called 'the best Bit" Nobody
can tell until the play is produced what
that line will be. 1t depends entirely on
the public's caprice. 1t so happens that
very often the line that tickles the public
fancy most is by no means the wittiest OF
most epigrammatic in the piece. 1t is al
luck.

For two hours a large bull, owned by

After tw @ or three roars the animal made

used his horns with such good effect on the

A small boy passed down the road about

AT meeting of workingmen at Aron
Hall Saturday night to bring the cake
bakers of The District into the ranks of
organized labor, there was standing room
only when Mr.. John Weber, secretary Of

the chair and called for order. The meet
ing was under the auspices of No. I18, and
of No. 23S9, K of L, and MIR Anton
Caspar, secretary of No. 1883, kept the
minutes.
Enthusiastic addresses, frequently ap-
proved by applause, were delivered by
Messrs. Michael Cuff, Milford Spohn,
Thomas 0'nay, Master Workman Kerns aud
George Cook. 1t was explained that the
plan was to admit the cake bakers into
either No. 11S orNo. 23S9, at their option,
upon payment OF an initiation fee of 50, and
they would thus be held together till from
so to 100 had gained admission, and
learned the ways of organized labor. Then
they would be formed into an independent
organization of their own. When an in
termission was given for the purpose

FOR THE BEAUTIFUL.

The Tri--ity Railway Company Getting
Out Two More Piows to Fight Snow.
In the carpenter shop OF the Tri-
City Railway company the tipiphing
work is being done on two new cleo
trio snow plows. One of these is to
60 on the Rock Island side of the
river and the other is to be used in
Davenport. These are something
entirely new in the line of snow
plows. Heretofore the work has
been done by rotating sweepers with
the aid Of horse power plows. The
rotary snow sweepers will not be dis
carded, but they have been unequal
to the task Of keeping the entire line
open by reason OF the large number
of miles of track to be covered.
Then. too. the sweeper leaves a ridge
of snow on either side of the track.
which makes the travel for sleighs
and teams rather uncomfortable. The
new plows are to be equipped with
two long shares or snow scrapers,
one on either end. running dfago-
naliy across the track. On the outer
end these shares take an extra turn,
SO that the snow will be distributed
several feet to the side of the
track. thus doing away with the
ridge.

an open platform six feet long. upon
which will be the levers for regulat-
ing the pillow. There will be q cab
II feet long in which will be hard
coal heater. where the crew can get
warmed up. Over the platform will
be long hood extending forward so
that the men will be protected from
the storm as much as possible while
at work. The plows will weigh
about 10000 pounds when fully
equipped. Back OF the share will
be either q snow digger or a rotary
brush to clear the rail SO that with
the wheels solidly upon the rails and
with 10 tons OF weight upon them,
the pillow will be able to work its way
through a good sized drift of snow.
