CHARMING "ROB ROY.7

Fred c. Whitney's splendid singing
organization in DeKoven & Smiths
picturesque comic opera, Rob Roy,
will be one of the most enjoyable mu-
sical treats of the season. Mr.. DeKo-
ven's music is well conceived and
sprightly, while the libretto OF Mr..
Smith supplies every want No opera
of tho present generation has ever met
with such universal praise. From first to
last the opera is sung and acted with
n dash and spirit that is delightful. Mr..
Whitney furnished the authors with ar
lists who have fine vocal voices. The
Scotch national dress is one of the most
picturesque among nations, and as a
stage dress 1t is simply charming. Rob
Roy win appear at the Grand Opera
House on Thursday. March 4.

Army NIarrInses.

General Miles, rs commanding gen
eral Of the army, has just been called
upon to decide OH "a somewhat delicate
question in which military discipline
was mixed up with moral and senti
mental considerations. As is we'll
known, the army authorities regard a
soldier married as a soldier marred, es-
pecially If the soldier is a private, and
commanding officers have often gone so
far rs TO refuse permission TO wed to
the men under them. Recently chap
lain out at Fort Assiniboin, in Mon
tana, Joined in the bonds OF matrimony
a private stationed there and young
woman who was working as a domestic
servant for the family Of one Of the off
GERS. No permission for the wedding
had been granted, and none had been
asked Next day the post commander
reprimanded the chaplain severely, de-
claring that his act was unauthorized
and improper The chaplain resented
this and appealed to the adjutant gem
eral, from whom tho case went to Gen
oral Miles for final action. In rendering
his decision General Miles says "The
course of the chaplain appears to be
fully warranted by law and regulations
While the objection to soldiers marry
ing is we'll recognized it is not prohib-
tied by law or regulations, and tho mil
itary authorities arc not. therefore, war

KossuTH As AN ORATOR.
Imposing IL Appearance aud the Finest
Speaker Of His Time.

Imposing Il Appearance aud the Finest
Speaker Of His Time.
In appearance Kossuth was taller
than Americans had been led to sup
pose. His face had an expression of pen
otratirg intellect, writes Parkc God
win, recalling the American visit in
1851 Of the great Hungarian patriot
in a paper Of the "Great Personal
Events" series in The Ladies Home
Journal. 1T was long, the forehead
broad. but not excessively high, though
a slight baldness made it seem so, and
the chin narrow, but square in its
form. His hair was thin in fi~ut and
dark brown, as was his beard, which
was quite long, but rot very thick, and
arranged with neatness and taste. His
mustache YVES heavy and rather long.
His eyes were ytIy large and OF light
blue. His complexion was pale. As a
speaker his manner was at once incoln-
parabiy cignihed and graceful. His
posture aLd appearance in reIcse were
imposing, net only from their essential
grace and dignity. but from sense of
power they impressed upon the behclder.
He spoke as if with little preparation
and with that peculiar freshness which
belongs 10 extemPoraneous speaking,
and the wonderful compactness and art
CT his argument were not felt until you
reflected upon it afterward. He gesticu-
lated freely, equally well with both
arms. Nothing could be more beautiful
in its way than was the sweep Of his
right hand, as it was raised 20 heaven
when he spoke Of rho Deity; gothing
swceter than the smile which at times
mantled his face. Beyond Il doubt he
was the greatest Of orators then living

prices for this fruit vary greatly at diff

for the past season the net price given

in December, $3.50 for November, $1.99

thousand dollars per acre, leading to
the constant expansion of the area de-
