Grand Onera-House.

1t is useless 10 ever hope to unravel the mys-
tories of Moresco melodrama, but SO far as
can be seen, 'The Slaves of Gold' contains The
allotted number of villains, adventuresses,
heroes and heroines. and not of course for
getting the comic couple.
The villain, played by John T. Nicholson,
haIes the hero with all his heart, and waits
fourteen years to kill him. Just as his efforts
are to be crowned with success, the hero es-
capes from cAYed-in mine and illustrates his
well-laid plans.
Fred Butler Richard Barley does some
very clever actor work. Maud Edna Hall ap-
pears as Grace Hope and does the best she can
with the poor material offered her. The same
may be said of the rest OF the cast.

Brought About by the Excessive Use of
Coffee.
It is we'll known that the Moors are in
veterate coffee-drinkers, especially the
merchants who sit in their b; zaars and
drink coffee continually during the day.
It has been noticed almost invariably
when these coffee-drinkers reach the age
of 40 their eyesight begins to fail. and by
the time they get 10 be so years Old they
become blind. One is forcibly impressed
by the number of blind men that are seen
a bout the streets OF the city of Fez the
capital of Morocco. 1t is invariably at
triLuted 20 the excessive use Of coffee.
This opinion has been confirmed by the
opinion of European physicians living

Moorish Sultan, is a striking example OF

IT'S HANNA AFTER ALL.

Announces That Hanna
Will Succeed Sher-

Columbus, O., Feb. 22.-Marcus A.
Hanna will be the next senator from
Ohio. He will be appointed by Cover
nor Bushnell to succeed Senator John
Sherman when he shall resign to take
his position in the cabinet as secretary
of state, when William Mckinley be-
comes president, by Inauguration on
March T. The announcement was made
last evening by Governor Bushnell him
self and was thoroughly formal. 1t WAS
given in the form of signed statement
and given to the public over the COVER
nor'S signature and was as follows:
1T has been my intention to make
no announcement in relation to rhe ac-
ton 1 would take in the matter of an
cancy in the Ohio representation in the
United tSateS senate until the vacancy
actually existed, but, on account of, the
manifest interest of the people and their
desire to know what will be done, L
deem it best now to make the following
statement:
When Senator Sherman resigns to en-
ter the cabinet of President Mckinley. I
will appoint to succeed him Hon. Marcus
A. Hanna of Cuyahoga county to serve
enty-third general assembly of the state.
1 trust this action will meet with the ap-
prevail of the people, -
The appointment of Mr.. Hanna by Gov
ernor Bushnell is q remarkable victory
for Mckinley and McKinleys friends
over the Foraker-Bushnel faction of the
party. Neither the newly elected senator
from Ohio nor the governor, wanted
Hanna in the United States senate But
from every part of Ohio where the poll
milton from Mckinley came a clamorous
demand for Hanna ; selection.

ALL LIKE HAY.
The British Approves McKinley's
Choice of Successor to Bayard.

London. Feb. 22.-The afternoon
newspapers comment upon the an
nouncement made by the American cor
respondent of the London Times that
Col John Hay has been selected by
President-elect Mckinley to be the sue
cessor of Mr.. Bayard, as ambassador of
the United States to the court of s..
James.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that the
selection is in every way admirable.
Great Britain has always been fOrtu-
nate in the American ambassador and
in Mr. Bayard's successor she is parti-
cularly So
The St. James Gazette remarks: The
United States has again chosen the best
stamp of a man that they can find to
represent them here. That is a COM
pliment to the United States. A good
feature of Col. Hay, is that he has con-
siderable diplomatic experience. Per
hapS this will tend to reduce the risk
of such surprises as have occurred
during the last few years.
The Globe expresses the opinion that
Col. Hay will not be capable of the mis-
takes which American ministers have
sometimes made simply from the lack
of experience, and adds cit is not in
any sense a machine politician selection
and may be regarded as proof that
Mr.. Mckinley appreciates the impor-
lance of the post for which Col. Hay
has been designated.
