OPERA IN THE ARENA.
SQUARE GAR ACCOMPLISHMENTS
OF THE WEEK.

The Madison Square Garden Company is
about to make another effort to do something
with its rig arena in the summer The attempt
will be made this week to induce people to
come into it to hear an operetta. Only a part
of the space. ii is understood, will be used for
the actual seating of the audience and the
presentation of the work, the rest being left
TO itself to assist in the noble work Of ventila-
ton.
The operetta is called Captain Cook" 1t is
the work of Sands w. Forman and Noah Brandt.
both of San Francisco. The scene Is laid In
Hawaii and the libreitist seems to have made
an heroic effort to extract story from the Incl
dert OF Captain Cooks discovery of the islands
He represents Captain Cook coming there
with the usual sort of comic opera crew. 1t APP
pears that the way has long been prepared for
them by the local prophets who have declared
that some time a white god will come from across
the ocean and that he must have the throne. II
he wants it, and the choice of the women Of the
islands for wives for himself and his followers.
How a prophet could expect to tell such story
as this without getting himself disliked is no
part of the story.
But granted that he told it and that the peo-
pie believed it, it is not unnatural that Captain
Cook and his crew should be taken for the prom
ised god and his attendants or that the hand or
the princess Of the country should be almost
thrown at him. The sailors also, having no
wives in this port because they have just dis
covered it, readily find brides suitable to their
station among the women of the new land. the
only person who objects seriously is a prince
from a neighboring island to whom the princess
was betrothed in infancy and who seems to care
more about her than princes usually do about
sweethearts of such long standing and not orig
inaly Of their selection.
So emphaticay does this irreverent prince OBJ

princess being on his side. that battle is i'm

and starts back over his course to meet troop
ship that was following him. 1t was the custom
in those days rs every schoolboy knows, for an
exploring expedition to be followed by troop
ships. He comes back with his army, but, with
that ndecision which seems to be part or MS
character he decides not to fight, and after at
tending the wedding CT the prince and the
princess he sails away just as the United States
cruiser arrives, the commander OF when an

OF sea baths for Mr. Garibadis kleptomania-'
But not only are Mr.. and Mrs. Garibadi pat

baldis are there as WELL and they are there as
many times day as they can persuade the at
tendants to admit them To most people the
children of the East Side of various nation
aties look much alike; but the attend
ants at the free baths come to know them
individually and devote much time and care
to keeping them from making permanent resi-
dences in the bath houses. Their task is
hard one, and if they occasionally outwitted
by the sharp urchns with whom they have to
deal. why so much the better for the urchins
and none the worse for the attendants
The uptown dweller, the man who does not
spend nights and Sundays in the city In the
summer" to quote Mayor Strong, probably has
little conception of the modus operandi Of the
free bath. He knows that it exists and he sup
poses vaguely that it must be a useful institu-
ton; but that is the extent OF his knowledge Of
the subject. He certainly has never been inside
of one.
If he took the trouble to examine the free bath
and endured the heat and discomfort consequent
upon a visit to it, he would see many things
worth his attention. The tank itself is OBJ

NOTES or THE WEEK.

The local theatrical trade has now got about
as low as it ever gets. Only one theatre. not
counting music halls or variety houses is to be
open this week, This is a scantiness or theatri-
cal entertainment which has not occurred in
NewYork before in several years. There is an
extra operetta in the Madison Square Garden,
there is one also at Terrace Garden, and there Is
yet another down at Manhattan Beach, but
only one actual theatre, arranged and used as
such, is in operation in the city.
This one theatre is of course. the Casino.
THE Whir of the Town passed it's fftieth per
Torrance last week. 1t draws good audiences
still. and with 50 little competition as 1t nov has
there seems to he no reason why 1t should not
attract them till late in the summer when its
successor Is to be ready for the Casino stage
The bill which is announced for the continu
Gus performance of this week at Tony Pastors
Theatre includes Mcintyre and Heath, in The
Black Man from Montana: Miss Maud Nugent
Barnes and Ssson. Watson and Dupre, Bernard

Efforts are made TO keep the Eden Mus6e as
cool as possible for its summer visitors. That

proved by the fact that the noses do not melt

they were left out Of doors. But they all stay
on and the figures are apparently as cool and
collected as in the winter. The cinematograph

Obituary.

Mrs. Minnie Carly, nee Petty, was
born May 5th, 1873, Belleview, Iron
county. Mo, and died Nov. Sth, 1897;
aged "a years 6 months and 3 days.
She joined the Missionary Baptist
church at Belleview, Mo-, September
9th, 1888, and lived a consistent mem
Der until the Supreme Ruler called her
to rest, to that happy and peaceful rest
where there will be no more pain and
sickness and death can never enter.
She bore her sufferiDgs as only those
who die in the Lord can. During her
long suffering of over two months from
was never heard to murmur and only a
short time before she died, talked so
beautifully to friends and loved ones,
requesting them to meet her in heaven.
She leaves a husband and dear little
girl, and a host of relatives and friends
to mourn her loss. For to know her
was to love her. The funeral service
was conducted in the Baptist church,
and the remains inferred in the Edison
cemetery.
One by one we too must cross,
Der the river dark and cold;
May we then our sister meet
On the streets of shining gold
So like her who rests so sweetly,
Free from all this worlds care,
Do our NISSAN here so cheerful
Till we meet her over there.
One link from our golden treasure
Here on earth is taken away;
By the hand of him who giveth
Only for a while to stay.
He has helped us, Oh! so often,
Gave us courage on our way;
But her work on earth is finished,
God has called his child away.
We will miss her happy smile
Where'er our footsteps chance to stray,
Till we, too, are called to meet her
In the land of endless day.
Nov. Is, 81. A Cousin.

Facts for the Advocate"

On the first page of this issue will be
found an article from the Peoples i'd
UOcdte of Clayton, Mo-, to which we
call the attention of our readers as a
fair sample of the reasoning in which
the followers of the yellow flag indulge.
Should the Republican party declare
for flat earth in its platform, or as
sert the law of gravilation to be fall
lacy. the AdUOcate might be found sup
porting the platform with the same
brilliancy, the same cogency of reason
ing, with which it now uphOlds the
gold standard. The editor does not,
however, take his subscribers to be en-
tirely a constituency of asses, for he
does not permit his editorial page to
be filled with the literary junk manu-
featured by the Sound Money Club of
New York City. We think the edi-
tors attempt to make his paper the
exponent of his own thought commend
able, and is an example that should be
followed more generally by the local
press of all parties throughout the ma
ton. We doubs, however. that his
defense of the gold standard will prove
more satisfactory than that of the
young gentlemen in the back Office of
the Sound Money Club. who furnish
logic in that behalf at so much square
foot.
The questions at issue between the
Advocate and REGISTER are primarily
questions of fact, and, secoudarily,
matters of deduction. We both are
agreed that the function now per-
formed by silver in our currency could
be as readily performed by paper;
that the silver dollar, from being mon
ey of final payment. has been reduced
to the rank of mere promise to pay.
The REGISTER contends that there is
no law, written or unwritten, that au-
thorizes the redemption of silver in
gold; that the token money feature

Observation-Disclosures when we say Re-
publican, we have in mind the admin

This was accomplished by permitting

this was an outrage. for it permitted

the debt due him-a state of affairs of

Ethel Pinkley. daughter of James

years, months and % days.
She had often asked the prayers OF
Gods children within the last twelve
months. She took great delight in
reading the Bible.

sister were removed from the house

schoolmates she had ever had any
trouble with, and looked as though
she wanted to see them, and said to
her grandma, Il am going home.
Then she fixed her loving eyes on her
papa, and looked at him till he said,
II am right here with you" She put
her arms around his neck and kissed
him. After which she reached out
her arms and stuck out her sweet lit
tie lip and kissed her grandma.
Shortly before she breathed her last
she called the name of her sister Nora,
and acted as if she were shaking
hands with several different persons.
Grandma Pinkley,says that it stirred
up her pure mind by way of remem-
brauce to see a sweet little Christian
making peace with her God and with
her little schoolmates while she was
dying. Now, my dear little children,
don't get mad at each other. If you
do, make peace before you come to

When she was dying she motioned for
all to kneel down. She hung to her

began to pray but her strength failed
and Mrs. Wamsley finished the prayer
as she died.
