FabiO ROmani.

The sixth engagement of Alden
Benedict's Fabio Romani company
in New York and Brooklyn, opened
at the Grand opera house last night
to an immense audience. The play
is full OF horrors, which delight the
lovers of the novel. The stage SET
tings were beautiful, the closing
scene, g. representation of the erup-
tion of Mt: Vesuvius, with earth
quake effects, calling forth tremen-
dous applause. Chas. Macklin as
Fabio Romani and Conte Cesare
Olivia, gave satisfaction, while Miss
Therese Milford the role of heart
less beauty named Nina, was more
than excellent. Charles L. Farwell
made Il great deal of the heinsignif1cant
part of Respettf, a rag picker. There
is a scene in the third act In which
Miss Therese Milford poses as the
statue of Phryne in the artists
studio. It was impossible to COM
pare her charms, however. with
those of Sibyl Johnstone on account
of the unfortunate amount of drap-
cry which envcloped the statue of
Phryne making her look more
artistic, although less exposed.

Range Conditions.

Sulphur Valley News
 1t would be interesting to know how meteorological experts account for the extraordinary humidity of the past two months. The rain fall in Arizona and western New Mexico has been supposed to bear some relation to that in South ern California. but that region is unu- sually dry this autumn. In fact. 6 drought has prevailed there to such an extent that gentleman who has been in the habit of buying feeders to fat sn an his California farms for the win ter and spring market now claims that he can secure cows and steers at low CT price there than here, freight rates belng taken into account. The rains have been so general and copious that all portions of the territorial range is covered with g luxuriant growth of grass which will serve to hold the win. ter's supply of snow and insure its de. scent as water into the ground. The subterranesn reservoirs and caverns of the mountains will therefore be filled, thus insurlng an unfaillng flow of Wa, ter during next summer. The only dau- ger to be apprehended is the Inability of the range grasses to be injured by frost while yet green. Damage from this cause may be realized in the val leys. but the hardy mountain grasses are not likely to be seriously injured. While careful stockmen in the north are making provisions for g severe win ter, the southwestern breeders may rest secure Tn immunity from loss from blizzards or disease. The most serious danger which threatens his herds Is that of loss from dishonest neigh bors and professional range thieves.

A TELEGRAPHER'S STORY. One That Comes All the Way
 From Arizona

The following story in the Albuquer- que Citizen told by railraad telegraph superintendent, illustrates what diff culties were met with in the early days of railroad construction in Arizona
 ''1n Arizona there was a sort of . woodpecker that picked the posts abso. lutely to pieces. thinking there were insects inside of the wood. They heard the humming, and didn't have sense enough to know what caused it. Then near the hills the black bears imagined that each pole contained a swarm of bees, and they climbed to the top and chewed the glass insulators to pieces, but the sand storms were the things that created the most havoc.
 "When the winds blew strongly the sand drif.ed rapidly ard the grains cut away the wood at fearful rate. It was . common thing to have an oak pole worn to shaving in days time, while l have seen poles just ground to the surface Of the earth during 8 single storm. Things got so bad out there that the company decided to substitute steel poles for oak and cedar, but that didn't remedy the evil at all. The sand just wore away the metal on each side of the pol until the center was as char as razor and all the Indians used to shave themselves on the edge. We finally managed to fix things, just painted the poles with soft pitch. The pitch caught the sand. and now every pole is about two feet thick and solid as 6 rock"
