AN OLD FAvORITE.
The MfISadO Presented at the Grand
Last Night.


''Mikado, or the Maid of Titipu" was
attended by a very large audience at
the Grand opera house last evening.
So far the warm weather has not
caused any noticeable falling off in
the public's appreciation for light
opera.
The tuneful strains of the '-dikado'
are almost, if not quite, as
familiar to the ear as its pre-
bert and Sullivan, and as presented
by the Pyke Opera company Will prob
ably prove every whit as popular. The
stage setting for this opera is excep-
tionally artistic and the costumes
handsome. Al Leech is decidedly in
his element as Ko-Ko, Lord High Exc
cutioneer of Tftipu, and seems to relish
his return to the field of burlesque af-
ter his week Of dignity whilst sojourn-
ing as Sir Joseph Porter, K. c. 3. He
received several encOreS, which he did
not respond to with a topical song.
The Mikado (played by D. S. McFad-
DEM was too evidently a victim of
catarrh. A timely visit to Shores e
Shores would aid him towards produc
ing more distinct sounds whilst holding
this position. Louise Manfred Pyke
made a decidedly favorab BILE impression
at Yum Yum, whilst Horntense Nielsen
as Peep-Bo and Maud Everson as
picture of Three Little Maids from
School, Miss Everson has very
sweet voice when fully emitted, which
she seems somewhat chary of doing.
The Nanki-Poo of Arthur Boyce was
somewhat wishy-washy and not at all
in proportion to some of his other
work, notably his Ralph Rackstraw.
Winfield Blake, both vocally and ar
tistically, is always eminently salts
factory. His Pooh-Bah is another
character sketch full Of individuality.
Helen Salinger came in for a just
amount of applause as Katisha. Miss
Salinger certainly excels in all scenes
requiring expressions of malignancy or
hate. Her venom is of the most scath-
ing description when denouncing
Nanki-Poo as her recreant lover
The entire performance ran very
smoothly with one or two scarcely no.
ticeable drawbacks. 'fMIkado" runs
for the rest of the week

How it Is Done.

Washington, June 24-The post
Office department entered a policy of
detailing inspectors to watch letter
carriers on their rounds and report
inattertion to duties and any irregu-
lar conduct on their routes The op-
GRAFTON of the system was begun
about six months ago, but the plan
was not given any publicity and it
was begun on a small scale, only one
or two offices being watched. This
was finally broadened and now in
wolves offices in a number of import
ant cities, Boston, Houston, Philadel-
phla, Chicago and Columbus are known
to be among these.
Special reports were made to the
department by the inspectors. Delays
in delivering mails at the house, I'M
necessary conversations, stops meet
ing acquaintance and waste of time
We're generally reported and com
plants entered against the post Office
in the department files. The system is
not yet general but the inspection has
resulted during the past five or six
months, in a reduction of letter car
rier forces of about 100 carriers. Post
masters at number of these places
have made requests for an additional
the request a special Shrdlu nadtrehr
force of carriers, but many instances
the requests have been fruitless and
the postmasters have been told that
a special report showed their force to
be sufficient In some instances, not
ably at Philadelphia, d material cut
in the force has been ordered.

GRESHAM'S WILL.
THE DOCUMENT SHORT AND TO
THE POINT.
Everything Is Left to His widow,
Who Is Made Sole Executrix-
Was Written in 1855.

Chicago, June 4.-The will of General
Walter Q. Gresham, late secretary of
state was admitted to probate today by
Judge Kohlsaat. Mrs. Gresham appeared
in court accompanied by her son, Otto
Gresham, Judge Henry ". Blodgett and
George w. Kemp, of the United States
circuit court the witnesses to the will
were also present.
The Will is very simple. It is written
in Judge tGresham's own handwriting
upon one sheet of paper. and dated De-
cenber IS, 1888. 1t is as follows:
81, Walter Q. Gresham, do hereby make
my last will and testament.
'I give, devise and bequeath to my
wife, Matilda Gresham, all my estate
property and effects real and personal
and OF every kind and description, and
wheresoever situated, to have ard hold
absolutely. I appoint my wife sole exc
cutriX of this will.
Witness my. hand this eighteenth day
of December, 1SSS.'
The schedule of property owned by
General Gresham shows that he, was
worth $1,000 at the time of his death
OF this $4,000 is in real property and The
balance in personal effects. The other
heirs are Otto Gresham, the son and
Kate Gresham Andrews, his daughter.

CUBAN SUGAR MEN.
THEY ARE LEFT IN 4 MOST HELP
LESS CONDITION.
tressing, and Actual Suffering
Must EnsUe.

Washington, June 24.-Consul Baker,
at Saguala Grand, Cuba, under dete
of June u, reports to the state dep .
ment upon the sugar crop. He says:
The sugar of $3.50 having been
marketed, leaves no doubt of a ma
teriaI decrease from the yields of the
previous year. This. together with the
very low price realized by the plant
ers, for the advance came too late to
benefit the producer, leaves the sugar
growers of Cuba in a most helpless
condition. They now frankly admit
that they will not be able to secure
loans to make the cane crop which
means that not exceeding one-half OF
the usual acreage of new cane has
been planted and charge neglect in the
cleaning Of the present crops. In truth
the condition of the planters Of this
island is distressing, and the end IS
not yet, for when it is recalled that
fully one-thrid of the inhabitanats de-
pend on the plantations for employ
ment and living and that the own
ers thereof cannot obtain enough to
engage in their labor, actual suffering
must unsue.
