Manager e. T. Rice Is to be eongratu-
lated on the continued enormous success
of his world-famed "Evlngeline." Ac-
eordinE TO the New York papers three
seasons were given by the "Evangeline"
company during this year two in New
York and one al Manhattan Beach,. in
the Target of the theatres, drawing
crowds up to the last nights.
"EVangeline" is unique among must
cal compositions and 1t would take seV-
eral banks to keep account of the money
this remarkable piece has drawn.
The New York World, in long artl-
Gle on "EVangeline," says; "Twenty-three
years ago two young men of Boston in
their spare moments wrote a musical eX
trayaganza which fairly revolutonized
the burlesque stage. The work still lives
after all these years, with its inherent
charms as fresh as two decades since.
Surely j. CheeYer Goodwin and Edward
f. Rice, when they builded "Evange-
line" builded better than they knew. 1t
served as a model for scores of similar
productions and it gave to the Ameri-
can stage more famous comedians than
any other piece ever written in this coun-
try"
This lovely "Evangelnp," the sweet
maiden or music and poetry, with a score
of handsome and shapely girls in dainty
costumes, is to be at the opera house ON

Mckinley on Silver in 1891.

On the 18th of February, 1891, Ie
thus expressed himself on the subject
in speech at Toledo:
During all of Grover Clevelands
years at the head of the government
he was dishonoring one -four precious
metals, one of our own great products,
degrading silver and raising the price
of gold. He endeavored even before
his Inauguration to Office to stop the
coinage Of silver dollars, and atterward
and to the end of his administration
persistently used his power to that end.
He was determined to contract the
circulating medium and to demonetlze
one Of the coins Of commerce, limit the
volume of money among the people,
make money scarce and therefore, dear.
He would have increased the value Of
money and diminished the value OF
everything else.
