Grand Opera House.

For the first time in the history of the stage in this city plays by such we'll known authors as David Belasco, Rich- ard Mansfield and Mckee Rankin are to be seen at popular prices. The Waite Comedy company, which opened a weeks engagement last night, will give a. number of plays written by the above named authors during the week.
 The play chosen for the opening per- formance was "The Wife," one of the most successful of David Belasco's s plays Of the production nothing but praise can be given. The entire pro- duction was high class, equal to high price performances, including the stage settings, costumes and electric effects. Vigorous approval of the methods of MT. Waite's management and his pro- duction was in evidence last night by the continued applause that greeted the close of each act. Each act was mount ed with beautiful scenery, the third act being particularly fine with it's weird calcium effects. The ladies' gowns were especially fine.
 A concert orchestra of eleven soloists took the place of the regular orchestra and rendered several selections that were loudly applauded. Another fea- ture was the exhibition of Edison's lat est electrical device for projecting mov- ing pictures.
 The cast was we'll made up and in- cluded number of well known reper- foi,, was entrusted to MT. Edwards. He is conscientious actor, and fully sustain ed his reputation, which, while not known to g. New Haven audience is none the less known throughout the country. To Miss Lisle Leigh, a very charming actress, was entrusted the leading female role. She was at her best in the third act act, when she makes the confession. She was attrac- tive, and that she thoroughly pleased the audience was assured by the ap- plause she received. James F. Kelly and Miss Kent carried the comedy roles to the delight of the audience. Espe- cially meritorious was the acting of J, H. Hollingshead Miss May Elliott AL exander Gaden, James A. Nunn, Gilbert -~i'' hNe" GOV VI liiCAJ IActlG II lSh ana An- ma La Valle.
 Matinees will commence this after. noon with the presentation of the beau tifln drama of Hazel Kirke." These matinees will be given each afternoon this week with a change of play at each performance.
 Tonight another of Belasco and De Miles dramas, Men and Women" wil, be presented with the same care as to detail, dressing and scenery as was giv- en to 'The Wife" last night. The ex. cellent orchestra of eleven pieces fur nishes a rare musical treat at each per- formance.
 New York election returns by special wire will be read from the stage to- night.

atPolis Wonderland theater yesterday. The dashing young Parisian at once es- tablished herself a favorite, winning the good will of her hearers from the start. Troja's voice, while not the best one on the vaudeville stage, is a good one; her style of singing, for the kind of songs she affects, could not be inn proved upon. These songs are racy, amusing, almost risque, but the way that Troja handles them robs them of anything like offensive suggestiveness. One never tires of listening to her, and there is a magnetism about her that adds to the charm. It Is easy to under stand, in listening to Troja, why she should have proved such a very popular entertainer during almost the entire past three years at Roster & Bial's. Her engagement at the Wonderland will undoubtedly prove a. success. The

A Sad Death.

Death has again invaded our little
community and the hearts Of parents.
brothers and sister are bleeding be.
cause their loved ono lice cold and
still in death.
In the early Sunday morning hours
the soul Of Samuel r., son Of Or. Nc.
Dowell, burst the bonds TINT held it
to earth and scared away to the un-
seen lands from which no traveller re-
turns.
Sam as he WIS called by everybody
was born in Glencoe, Kentucky, on
the 25th OF February, 1878. About
Eve years ago he was taken with con-
sumption and though he had the best
OF treatment nothing could stay us
ravages. Death had marked him for
an early victim.
Tho deceased was al excellent
young man. Kind, ohliging and
manly he had host OF friends whose
hearts are saddened today by his un.
timely death. Tho ranks Of his
schoolmRtes aTS thinned and they will
miss him from his accustomed place
in the high school.
The funeral services will he held at
o'clock, p. III. Tuesday at the Epia-
copal church. Rev. John Dawson Of
ticiating. The remains will be kept
until the rrrival OF No. 3 tomorrow
night when they will 5e shipped to
North Fork, Monroe County, Mis-
souri,. his old home, whore they will
be buried. Mrs. Mcdowell will ac-
company the armains on the sad jour
ney.
The lSDEPEADEST tenders it's sin
cerest sympathIes to the sorrowing
family. Words spoken from the
heart have no: the power to heal the
heart, torn and bleeding over the loss
Of loved one. Yet they chow ten
der sympathy and let tho sunlight OF
humanity into the darkened windows
OF the soul. God alone can heal the
heart sorrowing over the loss Of low
ed one. To Him We point the afilict.
ed family for consolation.
May Sans long sleep beneath Mis-
souri's prairie sod be Us peaceful as
the gentle zephers that Sigh above
his grave. May the memory Of his
short lifo Rnd good deeds be light in
the window to guide the afflicted fam
lily safely into that haven OF rest be-
yond tho grave.

sIGNIFICASr fI.IUnES.

The more ono looks into the returns
OF the last election, the more is one
convinced either that Superintendent
OF the Census Porter did not do his
duty in 1890 OF that the agents Of
Mark Hanna overdid theirs in 1896.
Here are some more figures which
will cause powerful heap of think
ing
The Philadelphia American pub
fishes the statistics OF the eleventh
census and comments as follows:
These figures indicate that there
has been phenomenal increase OF
population during the past six
months in the Safes Of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky and West
Virginia, States that had to be car.
ried to insure Mr.. McKinIey's elec.
ton, phenomenal growth that
was not shared by the otl:sr states OF
the Union. II will be noticed that in
1890 the total number OF malos over IL
years ot age IN Ohio WIS l,OlG.iGi
This number included all or those
unuaturalized citizens not entitled to
vote though OF voting age. In 1896,
l,0l4 .5iS votes were counted. 1t In
diana 1900 more votes were counted
i'll 1886 than there were men Of voting
aye, not voters. in 1890. In Illinois
1900 more votes were counted than
there were men OF voting age, includ.
ing all unnaturaliZed foreigners, i'll
1890. In Iowa there were several
hundred more votes counted III 1896
than there were men OF voting age
in 1880; i'll Kentucky 5000 less, and in
West Virginia 1900 more.
None OF the other States show such
a startling and unLccountablc in
crease OF voters. In Michigan tho
fight was as hot as III Indiana. In
Michigan the men OF voting age en-
titled TO register are at least proper
tioDately us numerous as in Indiana.
There III no reason To suppose Indiana
has grown faster in population than
Michigan. Yet indiana counted A.
600 more votes than there were mon
OF rorlng age in 1890. Michigan yot-
ed $4,000 within the number OF men
OF voting age given in the ceneus OF
1890. The reader can analyzo other
States for himself. Tho results aro
startling.
Either tho census taken III 1890 il
unreliable or the vote counted i'm 1896
is "a fraud. An investigation into the
reliability OF the Eleventh Census
might he in order.
Verify, the more one looks into tho
official returns OF the six States TINT
Mckinley needed 20 badly III order TO
ensure his election, the more does it
dawn upon him that either one OF two
things must DO true:
1.-The Census Of 1890 wns shame.
fully inadequate.
2.-Wm. Mckinley was not fairly
elected President OF the United
States.
