MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
Roland Reed Last Night.


 A large audience very heartily enjoyed the intensely amusing Roland Reed and 'his capital company of comedians in "The Politician" last evening at O'Briens opera house.
 The play is a succession of popularly appreciable hits on the tricks and ras- calitles of modern politics, and running tlashily along with witty dialogue into admirably natural situations that pre- scented the indispensable scenes of cam paign enthusiasm, simulated and real, the big audience was carried away by the highly spirited performance of the play and loudly cheered the actors, join ing the stage populace in their outbursts of partisan fervor
 MT. Reed seemed at his best. His Gen eral Limber is masterfully comical and yet life-like.
 MT. Tupper as Peter Woody, the be- wildered sort of Cincinnatus whom the office sought, need not have been better. The others were all good particularly MT. Bernard's Pelham PerrywinSle. He was a delightfully."- droll Anglo-maniac dude. showing himself an extremely clever comedian.
 Miss Isidore Rush as Cleopatra Sur gess portrayed with excellent effect the amusing conception of a twentieth cen tury woman.

MIR. R. 6. HEWITT.

In this issue Mr., R. G. Hewitt makes formal announcement of his candidacy for the democratic nomination for tax collector of Jefferson county. Having already been twice elected to the posi- tion at the hands of the democracy of Jefferson county. MT. Hewitt needs no introduction to the voters of the county.
 He is not a, candidate at the solicitation of his many friends, neither does he ask the office because of any record he may have made in the war. He stands upon the record he, has made for efficiency and faithful service during the eight years he has had, the. honor, pleasure and profit of holding the office. He regards that he is even with the county and that the county is even with him, and he. there- fore, does not base his claim for re- nomination on the grounds that the peo- pie or the county owe him anything. He simply knows that the county has made no arrangements for an efficient tax collector for a term longer than the expiration of his present term. and ar guing then that 1t will need a man in that place. and every interest in the county demands that the job be awarded an honest. clever, faithful, competent tent citizen. s'f.
 He alleges as the grounds for kis can- didaey this time. first.f he wants tho office for the honor and salary attached to it: {: second. he knows the county will need a good, safe. competent man in that po- sition. for 1t is an important position. and he feel justified in regarding himself as that kind of a man, which fact is clearly proven by the record he has made dur ing his terms in the office.

Rare enjoyment is promised in the pre- sentation on Monday night of the big comic opera success, Princess Bonnie," MT. Willard Spencer's latest and best work. D. w. Truss x Co.,, the directors, furnish a splendid chart and surround ing in the offering and the chorus num- bering upwards of fifty voices. is among the many features.
 In the Princess Bonnie" our theater patrons will see a clean, bright and sparkling worlS--a story of interest, and most deliciously dainty melody, com mendation which seldom can apply to the general so-called opera.
 There are few comic operas which have more bright and tuneful songs than Princess Bonnie" Among those which especially please. and for which there has been great demand, are: Bonnie's lullaby song, "Slumber So Gently the duet. Love Is Like Dainty Flower;" the trio, "I Told You So;' the waltz song, Dreaming of Love-" the romance, "Iove. First Love" The music in the second, which passes in the courtyard of Spanish palace, is largely Spanish in characters. and the dance with guitar and castanet accompaniment Is one which sets feet and heads to keeping in- voluntary time.

"A Bowery Girl.

At the opera house next Wednesday night will be seen for the first time in this city the new comedy drama. "A Bowery Girl" which has had most suc- cessful run this season in New York city, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and in fact all of the large cities in the north. The bowery girl, as she exists in the minds of the people who know nothing about her. and the one introduced by Harry Williams are totally different people In his play the Bowery girl is a woman with a great deal of good in her. and an amount of common sense that is never dreamed of by her more favored sister. She Is a diamond in the rough, while the one existing in imagi- nation is tough in the rough. There never was woman who did not have good in her if 1t had the chance to come to the surface, and in this Is found the popularity of the discovery of the Bow cry girl in this play She is intensely practical and philosophic. She has heart and all that, but when she starts out to do thing she does it without a1- lowing the heart to interfere. In the play she undertakes to save a girl who has fallen into the hands of scheming villains She is backed by the hero. who follows her lead blindly. Just as she has reached a point where her work is to cul- minate in the rescue of the girl and while she is in imminent danger of her own life as a result of her courage on venturng on such a mission, she dis covers that the hero is in love with the girl that they are seeking. She has a1- lowed her own heart to go out to him unsought and unasked, and firmly avows her love, but the next minute she is up and at work. It Is only an episode of her life but the change in her future is such as many might study to advant- age. It is the case of the folly of crime over spilled milk, and there was never such an illustration given of 1t as that by "The Bowery Girl" She goes on do- ing all the good she can on the lines al- ready planned out and says nothing more about it.
 Here this role will be played by the merry soubrette. Clara Thropp. who will be we'll remembered as the original Taggs with Neil Burgess County Fair" She will introduce several new special tiac dilrina thn aetinn of tha Iala
