 DeWolf Hopper in "Dr. Syntax."
 The inimitable comedian DeWolf Hop per, bringing with him most excellent company, and presenting that funniest of all comic operas, entitled "Dr Syn tax" will constitute the current attrac- tion at O'Brien's tomorrow night
 The leading members of the comedians company are: His charming wife, Edna Wallace-Hopper; the clever actress and sweet singer. Bertha Waltzinger, as well as Alice Hosmer. one of the cleverest comediennes in the ranks of light comic opera; also Ida Lester, Edmund Stanley, Alfred Klein, T. s. Guise, John Parr and H. P. Stone
 The production of "Dr. Syntay" this season is promised to be even handsomer and more complete than that of last sea- son. Not only have new scenery and costumes been provided, but there have been many new scenes written in the opera, and many new musical numbers as well. Probably one of the most taking of the new songs is one on the topical or der, dealing in the dongs of the day, the verses being exceedingly humorous, and always are received with much laughter and applause. The title is, Something to Play With" One stanza on the late yacht race is as follows:
 Ocean blue-yacht so true;
 Splendid race first day took place. From the very first minute Defender was
 in 1t.
 The yacht we've got can beat the lot. Defender wanted something to play with;
 Something of Albion get
 DunraVen, the sport, the Valkyrie brought,
 And his lordshp's not dun ravin' yet Defender wanted something to play with,
 As we've played with them all before; For we've got the cup, And we won't give it up
 But keep it for evermore. The music of this is of the rippling, catchy kind, and has already become very popular.

\ STATE MASS MEETING To Be Held to Put Out a Reform
 Ticket, SAYS A SECRET CONFERENCE Held in This City on Last Friday the Proceedings of Which Have Just
 Leaked Out.

It leaked out yesterday that political conference of small magnitude was held in this city last Friday For some req son the meeting was kept a profound se- cret A State Herald reporter yesterday tapped an underground wire and was in- formed that such a meeting was held, but our informant refused to divulge the names of those present. q will simply say" said he, that a conference was held and there were be- tween twenty and thirty representative men present from different parts of the state, among whom were organized dem ocrats, republicans, populists and on the fence."
 Under whose call did these gentlemen ,meet?"
 Ut was a mutual understanding, the result of correspondence" F For what purpose was it called?"
 "For the purpose of calling mass meeting of the people of the state who fa- vor good government and are tired of be- ing shackled and ostracized; said mass meeting to agree upon a non-partisan state ticket to be known as the reform ticket. It was also agreed that it be urged at that mass meeting that the plat form be short plain, simple and pointed, that it may not be misconstrued or mis- understood, and to read thus:
 We favor free ballot and a fair count
 "'We favor the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ra- 2 tio of 16 to 1 by the United States and independent of any other government
 Was anything definite reached as to how where or when this state mass meeting will be held?"
 "Yes, county mass meetings will be first held and every man who favors the putting out of this reform ticket, ire spective of his present party affiliations
 or past political predilections,' can con- sttute himself a delegate to the state mass meeting. The county mass meet ings will be held within the next few weeks and the state mass meeting will be held shortly thereafter. The exact time has not yet been agreed upon. I think the majority of those attending the conference favor holding the state meeting in this city,"
 Were there really any organized dem ocrats in that conference?"
 iei i"rhere were men present who claim they never scratched a ticket in their lives and have always voted the straight democratic ticket from bits to crupper. Whether this is true or not, I only have their word for it." s! It will be remembered that there were several leading republicans and populsts in the city last Thursday and Friday and some few democrats who are not resi- dents, and there was more than the usual amount of juggling going on.
