GRAU OPERA COMPANY.

Commencing tomorrow night, March
7th, the Grau Opera company Will
play a return engagement of four
nights and Wednesday matinee, in an
entire change of opera, at popular
prices-25, 80, so and 70 cents Sunday
first time here of the new ''Ship Alloy"
up-tO-date, Monday, "Black Hussar,"
Tuesday, Tar and Tartar" Wednes-
day, FRA DiavOlO," Wednesday night,
H. NJ. S. PinafOre." An exchange
says of this popular company:
Though a most disagreeable night
rs far as outside elements were con-
cprned the opera house was well filed
again. As on the previous evening
the audience was enthusiastic and
literally granted well merited ap-
plause. Fra DiavOlO" is we'll known
rs one of the prettiest of operas and
its presentation last night was certain
" excellent.
Mr.. Robert Dunbar was Fra Diav-
olO. the bandit, and he, as on the pre-
cedng evening took his part in man
ner that showed exceptional artistic
ability. His movements and stage
presence generally were so graceful
and his singing so good that his rep
utation as a favorite was still further
confirmed. His luckless followers,
Beppo and Giacamo, taken by Messrs.
Eddie Smith and Robert Lett, made
no end of fun with their unbrigandlike
actions. The part of Lord Allcash,
an English nobleman was portrayed
by Gilbert Clayton in n manner that
pleased everybody. Miss Alice Garlic,
who took the part of Lady Allcash,
my Lords much better half, had a
difficult part but performed 1t to per-
lection. Sylvan Langlois as Lorenzo
captain of the Carbineers and Miss
Alice Johnston as his lady love, also
did much for the success of the piece.
| their singing being decidedly good.
| The remaining parts were all well ia
ken,so that the piece was made COM
4 plete success. sr

BLUFFEO THE CONDUCTOR.
Two Actors with Single Wish, and On,
Railroad Ticket.

| They were two comedians and they
were stuck in Wilkesbarre, with Scran-
ton ever so many miles away.
"Well, what are we going to do now?"
said one.
"Blest if know" said his companion.
But do know that the walking is aw-
full bad, and jumping coal trains no sort
of work for two eminent comedians"
Count the house." said Hanley.
They emptied their pockets and
found that by squeezing a cent or two
they could manage to buy one ticket to
Scranton. They then conceived plan
for travelling at the rate of two on a
ticket. When the conductor came
through the cars two hands firmly
clasping one pasteboard were held up
to him.
There's only one ticket here" said
the conductor, gruf1y.
That's mine," said one of them.
That's mine," said his companion,
with equal emphasis.
"See here" said the conductor, you
can't both ride on one ticket. I'll have
to put one of you off"
MAKE it me-that's easy money"
cried both comedians in chorus. Put
me off if you dare"
well, you've got to get off at the
next station" said the conductor, vigor-
ously-''one of you atleast.'
The next station passed and the next,
but no conductor appeared to trouble
the two men with but single ticket.
When Scranton was reached the couple
sought out the conductor and told him
if he would accompany them to the
hotel they would make good the miss
ing fare.
That's all right" he said. "You got
one on me that time. You see, we are
under orders whenever there is posi-
bility of a suit to take the safe side. =

Dad Might De an Authority on Old Time
Fights, But Failed in New Methods.
$50 you've had a fight, have youI"
said the old man.
The boy was so badly out of breath
that it was a minute or two before he
could get wind enough to say "Yep,"
and somehow the old man didn't seem
to regard the breathlessness as a par
ticularly suspicious omen.
did you lick him?' he asked.
Nit" replied the boy, with that bril-
liancy of repartee that is peculiar to
boys.
81 guess you didn't follow your poor
old fathers advice" said the old man.
81 suppose you thought you knew more
about it than he ever had a chance to
learn and went at the other fellow with
some new-fangled uppercuts or swings,
or something of that sort, and let him
get in under your guard while you were
figuring out the scientific points of some
new blow. Science is all right, sup
pose, in a fight by rounds where there
have been all the usual preliminaries,
but I've seen the time when a scientific
| fighter would get the tar licked out of
him while he was getting his science
ready for use. Now, when l was boy
and L saw there was fight coming on
aimed to get in the first blow"
That's my way" said the boy.
at is, eh?" returned the old man.
''Well, 1 don't see how boy can get
licked if he goes in on that system,
unless he's too easy with the first blow.
I tell you, when was boy" and the
old man began to get excited, my aim
was to swipe him first ard swipe him
hard. I'd just land him one over the
eye or under the chin and it would be
| all over. You see, when you paste a
fellow in the ear you want to paste
him hot one, and then"
"And then suppose he lands on a
brick pile" interrupted the boy.
"W-What?" asked the old man, rather
| startled.
Suppose he lands on brick pile
when you hit him and gets up with a
half brick in each hand, what's the
next move in the system that never
failed when you were boy?"
"My boy" said the old man, severely,
after minute of thoughtful, calm
consideration of the subject, lighting
is a bad business at best, and 1 am
surprised that you should expect your
father to give you advice that would be
sure to lead you into trouble and very
likely would tend toward the cultiva-
ton of a boisterous, quarrelsome dis
position. Now, run out and play and
don't bother me any more."-Chicago

THE REBELS ACTIVE,
And Continue To Infiict Great Losses
Among The Spaniards.

And Continue To Infiict Great Losses
Among The Spaniards.
Havana, March 6.-Advices received
here show that the rebels have been
displaying great activity and in sever
al encounters with the Spanish troops
have obtained signal victories.
Incomplete details received from
Manzanillo state that General Garcia,
with 5000 men and three pieces of ar
tillery met the Spaniards at Costo-
mado A fierce fight resulted, Garcia
with his superior forces and better
position easily routing the Spanish
troops, infiicting heavy losses, estimat-
ed at 600, if not over.
Another report comes from Matan-
ZaS of a severe engagement on the oath
of February. CaObillas, Mayai Rod
riguez, and Garlic, met General Moli-
mas forces and obtained a complete
victory. Details are lacking, but it is
known that "A wounded Spaniards
were brought into Cuevitas on stretch
ers. Many dead were left on the field.
General Alejande Rodriguez, now
commanding the rebels in Havana
province. attacked two cavalry squad
rons belonging in the PiZarro regi-
ment. near PoZoredondO. He made
vigorous charge, few Spaniards es-
Gaping. 1t is positively known that
30 were buried by Pozoredondo, and
the rest were left on the field.
No doubt exists that 5000 insurgents
crossed near Lajas two weeks ago,
marching west. They succeeded in
entering Matanzas province, and on its
borders sustained the encounter re.
ferred to above. This body of men
all cavalry, were commanded by Ma.
jor Rodriguez, recently appointed in
command of the three western provin.
ces, taking General Maceo's place.

PRESIDENT is BUSY.

Washington, March 6.-The execu-
tive mansion today was the center of
attraction for the great crowds of Wis
itors and for many prominent public
men. President Mckinley was at his
desk at nine o'clock clearing away the
more pressing matters before the pub
lie made demands upon his time. The
first to receive attention was the cab
met. The commissions were signed
by the president early in the day and
the members were sworn in. All the
members except Gage, who took the
oath of office ut the Treasury depart
ment, were sworn in at the White
House. Senators and members of the
House were among those who called.
The calls were mainly those of cour-
tesy, although several of the congress
slonal party were accompanied by ap-
plicants for Office.

WILL WIPE OUT TIIETRUsF

MI. John Searles, Secretary of the
American Sugar Refining Company, told
he LeXow committe the other day that
IF we had less legislation we would be
better off," but he neglected to, say Just
the kind of legislation he wanted cur
tailed. Possibly the legislation against
which Mr.. Searles finds the most seri-
Gus objection. is that which has author
lied the LoXow committee to investigate
the mthods by which he and his coop
orators In the management of trusts
has accumulated millions Of money at
the expenses of the people. He also in
formed the committee that there is a
law far higher than the legislature OF
the State of New York, the law Of sup
ply and demand which controls these
things, and which no trust however big
Is able to violate" And yet who be-
lieves that Mr.. Searles feels what he
says, even though 1t may be true, when
trusts are being formed day after day.
These people sometimes form trusts
when there is no legitimate demand for
them. They gobble up everything In
sight, pushing smaller deals out Of the
mearket and whether there Is an active
demand or not. they controlling the
supply can afford to hold until there
is demand-then the people have to
pay for 1t. Some Of these days, how
ever, they will be wiped off the face
Of the earth.

THE sOUTII,S NA1rRowHE ss.

The New York Sun is never so happy
as when indulging in criticisms OF the
South and it's people, and 1t even some
times goes out Of its way to find q cause
for complaint. If the cause is lacking,
why it draws on it's imagination. Here
Is its latest:
The original trouble is that the
Southern people speak and think of
their home as n section Southern
born tradition and Southern-made
histories cultivate the habit Of re-
garding the Southern States as a
section divided and differentiated
from the United States. This is a
narrow and unsound view, OF pnrtic-
ular detriment to people who hold
it,
The people Of the South do not regard
the South In the sectional light
III which the Sun puts it, 1t
is true they have held together and
circumstances have made such ncces-
sary. It's people are as broad and high
aid as patriotic as those Of any other
section Of the country, though the Sun
does not seem to know it. or If KNOWING
II. does not care to acknowledge IT, If
conditions were other than they have
been ever since the war, there ,vnuid
have been no need Of n Solid South.

should the Southern mills reduce their
