WiIbur's Opera Company Opens n
Week of Novelty ut the Park.


1t is an unusual year, indeed, that Man.
ager Wilbur. of the Wilbur Opera Company,
does not think up some new feature to add
to his entertainment. His popular company
opened a weeks engagement yesterday al
the Park to the usual big business. In the
afternoon the Two Vagabonds" was the
bill and last night THE Royal MILDLY" was
sung. Between the acts of these operas a
quartet introduced some popular music
much to the satisfaction of the audiences.
and at the conclusion of the operas, both
matinee and night, half an hour of min
strelsy was given. This is Wilbur's new
feature the present season. The stage is
set with background of rich plush cur
tains, and the chorus is attractively ar
ranged on tiers of seats after the usual
minstrel first-part style. There are four
comedians on each end in black face, and
ballads are rendered, stories told and jokes
minstrel company. This feature appeared
TO catch the favor of the audiences. It's
novelty is unquestioned so far as its use in
conjunction with an operate performance
Is concerned. AT the conclusion of this por-
ton of the performance the living pictures
are put on, the much-heralded ''Nymphs''
attracting, of course, especial attention
Ten handsome and shapely girls pose in this
picture and make an exceedingly attractive
group. The entire company watched this
picture yesterday with much interest. it be-
ing its first presentation. 1t is the most
elaborate grouping yet attempted by Man
ager Wilbur. The company continues all
week at the Park, the bill for this after
noon being Fra Diavolo' and for tonight
"Olivette.' Tomorrow afternoon THE Bo-
hemian Girl will be given, and tomorrow
night THE Black Hussar." There will he
a change Of opera at every performance
the minstrel feature and the living pictures
following the last act of each opera. The
popularity of the engagement is manifest
from the first days audiences. The cos
tunes are as rich and handsome as have
distinguished the Wilbur productions I'm the
past, and the principals of the company
Messrs. Coney Clark, Kohnle, Vaughn,
Drew, Williams Lamar, and Miss May Ba-
ker, Hattie Richardson, Lille Taylor and
jeanette Palmer are sufficiently well known
to make comment as TO their qualifications
quite unnecessary. Mr.. Kohnle is a Gomez
dian of much excellence. and Miss May Ba>
ker who has taken Susie Kirwin's place in
the company prima donna, is a very
handsome woman and a good actress. She
dresses in admirable taste, and was greatly
admired yesterday.

NEW YORK, Oct 25.-Hannis Taylor, for
the last four years American minister to
Spain, and who has just returned from
Madrid, is about TO address an elaborate
communication to the people of the United
States on the Cuban question. He has
reached the conviction that Spanish states
manship is impotent to solve this problem.
and he feels it to be his duty to lay before
his countrymen his testimony upon the
whole subject matter in the hope that it
may aid them in taking wise and just ac-
ton. In his communication which will be
published in the November number OF the
North American Review, he reviews the
matter from every standpoint basng his
statements on the observations which he
made in the course of his negotiations with
the Spanish government. In summing up
the situation he suggests plan whereby
the United States may speedily bring the
Cuban war to an end.
