II Will BE sung at TOmight's Concert
nj FrO1hlugtOu.

One of the numbers for tonight's con-
cert programme at the rockingham

the opera Elaine" The opera was
written for Nine. Melba. who created
the title part. and was produced at the
Metropolitan onera house in New York
for the first time two years ago. AL
though the opera itself did not create
the success which the talented French
composer deserved, the valse song be-
came at once popular. and was sung for
two seasons in various concerts by Mel
ba and I3lauvelt
Mrs. Kathryn Thiele will sing this
difficult and charming composition at
the concert on Nov. 3. and it will he a
treat to the lovers Of bell canto and es-
pecially to those who sing themselves
to have the opportunity of hearing IT.
The mere fact that such singers have
added this vocal gem to their repertoire
indicates the genre Of the song. for both

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Boston Daily Advertiser, one of
the most conservative journals in the
country has this to say Of Rosabei
Morrison's production of Carmen"
which was given its first performance
in the Hub" THE general scheme
of the play naturally follows somewhat
the opera. and lavish use was made
of Bets music. There Is in the charac-
ter of Carmen" as 1t has been sung,
a magnetic fascination for the public
of which it will probably not tire for
many years. and the leading imperson-
alton has been that of Madame Emma
Calve. For an actress who has never
seen Nine. Calve to invest her perform
ance with so much of the essence of the
accepted character Is certainly an
achievement. and the audience accept
ed it as such. The groupings and melo-
dramatic scenes We're handled with
much adroitness, and the production
and scenery We're excellent Car
men, will be seen at the Academy of
Music tonight and tomorrow night.
The same great company that nightly
presented that foremost of American
melodramas THE Great Diamond Rob-
berry to enthusiastic audiences in New
York city during its long stay of five
months there, will be seen on the COM
ing presentation of A. c Wheeler and
+. NJ. Alfriend's great play at the
Academy Of Music Wednesday and
Thursday night. The success of it's
New York engagement stamps The
Great Diamond Robbery" as one of
the best modern melodramas. In coll
laborating upOn this work its brilliant
authors have constructed play whose
action deals with types we'll known in
Gotham. of political and social life and
introduces as one of the leading char
acters the political boss Of the school
so familiarly known in all large cities.
The great selected cast, which will pre-
sent this play upon its engagement
in this city, Is composed OF Rose Ey-
tinge. Mrs. Annie Yeamens, Selene

dealing with New York life "The Pulse"

COMFORT FOR THE HUMBLE.
Ones Works Are Judged bv Power
and Opportunity,

To the respondent christian who felt
that his humble lot gave him but little
opportunity to do Gods will. a sermon
of much cheer and comfort was preach
ed last night in Elm Park church by
Rev. DR.. c. NJ. Giffin. His thought was
that orfe's responsibility in doing good
was regulated by power and oppor-
tunity.
The text of his discourse was quite
appropriately taken from the story
according to st. Mark (xiv:S) concern
ing the amounting of Christ by Mary.
the sister of Lazarus. she hath done
what she could" The standard Of
mankind. said DR.. Giffin, should not
discourage those whose means and pos
sibilities are limited. On the worlds
balance sheet a little Christian act
may be recorded at the foot Of the list,
but when the list il before God for
transcription in His register He may
turn the list upside down and record
II in that order.

Eceley is Arrested.

Mike" Keeley. proprietor of a pool
room. has been held in $500 bail by
Alderman Howe to appear before him
next Saturday and answer a charge of
assault and battery preferred by John
NJ. Burke. an agent for the Mosler Safe
company. Burke and Keeley engaged
in a fight in Lohmanns Spruce street
cafe early Saturday morning and in
the row the end of Burke's nose was
bitten through. The injury required
the services of a physician. DIR. Louis
Frey. and confined Burke to his room
in the Hotel Jermyn during Saturday.
Keeley and Burke had been consid-
cred friends W. to a few weeks ago
when they had a difference concerning
payment for a safe which the latter
had sold Kelley. Friends prevented
violence between them until they met
Saturday morning and had opportunity
for fistic encounter in Lohmann's.

HAND WAS HELD UP.
That Prevented d the Court House
ClOck From Doing lis Duty.

Saturday morning the court house
clock stopped and Jeweier Gross who
has charge of the county's time piece
was sent for to explain the cause. Mr.
Gross made an investigation in the
clock tower and found that workmen
who are making repairs on the tower
had showed a beam against one of the
dials in such way as to make IL i'm
possible for the hand to move and con-
sequently the clock was compelled to
take rest.
The beam was removed and the
hands again began to revolve in their
accustomed way.

SPRAG IN THE CROSSING.
South Side Street Car Derailcd on o
Down Grade.

A street car on the South Side line
jumped the track yesterday afternoon
where the narrow gauge track from the
Meadow Brook to the National breaker
crosses it on the Cedar avenue grade in
the upper part of the Twentieth ward.
a sprag in the crossing was the cause.
There isn't any doubt but that the
sprag was put there by some miscreant
who wanted to see a wreck.
1t Is a rule Of the Traction company
that cars inward bound are required to
come to a full stop not nearer than
twenty feet to the crossing, and the
conductor must give the proper signal
to go ahead. The cars cannot get up
any headway to amount to anything
before reaching the crossing after the
stop and for that reason there was
only slight damage done when this
car struck the sprag yesterday
Traffic was delayed for nearly an
hour and the car had to be towed to
the barn for repairs. 1t was crowded
with passengers. but no one was hurt.

Imagination and Truth

Imagination has a lot tn do with
some peoples purchases. For in
stance, Ia buying beer they imagine
that one beer is the same as annther
They might as we'll imagine that all
persons are exactly alike; that would
not change the truth any To put it
briefly, you bad better let some one
else do the imagining; see to it that
you get the best and purest and in
that way your health will not be ant
to suffer. You will make no mistake
by drinking Seattle beer, which can
be had at the Criterion saloon.

A NEW MARINE PAINT.
1t Can be Readily Applied to Sub
merged Parts.

A Scotch inventor has recently
brought to notice a new and valu-
able marine paint, says the New
York Sun, the object of the article
being a capacity of application in
a cold state to the submerged and
various other parts of ships or
other craft, the effect being that of
quick-drying, anti-fouling zinc and
tallow paint. For the accomplish
ment of this purpose a composition
has been devised consisting of 40
per cent. of oxide of zinc, y per
cent. of linseed oil, % per cent. of
tallow and 20 per cent. of thin
nings-the latter substances being
composed of 60 per cent. of shale
naphtha, benzoline, or other SINH
lar spirits, 80 per cent. of gum
dammar, and 10 per cent. of rosin;
these proportions are alterable to
suit different waters and conditions.
