MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Two Orphans.

Those who went to the Pavilion at
Peaks Island yesterday afternoon and
evening certainly got their moneys
worth, and witnessed one of the grand
est productions of the "Two Orphans >
that has ever been seen here. To say
that it was great production does not
express it, it was simply superb. To sit
in the front of the house and view the
play one would think it an utter impossi-
bility to use as much scenery in a sum-
mer theatre as Mr.. McCallum has on the
stage this week, but he was determined
to make his first attempt at such a heavy
piece as the Two Orphans big success,
and he has undoubtedly succeeded. The
piece could not be mounted or played any
better in a metropolitan theatre than it is
in the Pavilion this week. In the acting
of the piece, nothing but the greatest
credit is due to every member of the
company. Miss Bingham gave an ideal
performance of Henrietta She played the
part with much feeling and won the sym
pathy of her audience. Another young
lady to whom too much praise cannot be
given was Miss Ingram. This little lady
gives a magnificent portrayal of Louise,
the blind sister, and proved herself to be
a clever artist Miss Leigh and Miss
Andrews as Marianne and La Frochard,
we're also remarkably clever in their re-
s2ective roles. The other parts which
we're we'll played and received much ap-
plause were Pierre, played by Mr. Pascoe
in faultless manner, and which does
great credit to this clever young actor,
The Chevalier of the old favorite, Mr.
Horn, and the Jacques of Mr.. Conniers
To sum up every member of the compa-
ny was good. The Two Orphans will
certainly draw big houses all the week and
it rightly deserves them, as it is mag
nifcent production.

We have several times drawn the att

Eour opinion, more disgracefui to the

WHATS THE pIFFERENoEs


It has often been said that the gen
tleineri who compose our national and
state legislatures were no match for
the. men at the head Of the great rail-
way systems of the country, and the
following. seems to verify it.
The recent constitutional convention
in New York adopted a section for
bidding any legislator or state. en-
ployee from accepting a railway pass
for any cause whatever, ana provid-
ing heavy penalties for violation of
this prohibition.
And now comes the story from New
York that the Wagner Palace car
company has issued neat books con
tanning a certain number of railway
trip tickets emitting the holder to ride
free in any of the cars of the com
pany, and these books. it is alleged,
have been put where they will do the
most good
1t is perhaps needless to say that
one Will be found in the inside peck
cts Of each of the solons. All of which
leads an exchange to say: NO passes,
but plenty of free tickets. What's the
difference?"
