GRAND OPERA HOUSE-To-nig
THE Dazzler'': last half of week. THE
OPERA HOUSE-To-n might, Secret
Service; Friday night, " Darkest Rus
sia."
The plot Of "Secret Service" is built
around romantic love story. The
heroine is the beautiful daughter of
one of the confederate generals, who
is loved by two men, Benton Arrels-
ford and Captain Thorne. The former,
pioued because the heroine gives his
rival the preference, endeavors to
bring into disgrace the hero, who is
in the secret service of the United
Staes and is in Richmond concerned
in a plot to bring about its surrender
to the north. Although the hero and
heroine have differences in sectional
sympathy, love finally conquers all.
The cast Of the play is made up of
well-known artists. 1t will be pro-
duced for the first time in this city
at the Opera House tonight.

Tonight Cosgrove & Grants Com
edians will be seen at the Grand OPP
era House in "The Dazzler." Old in
name. bue new in everything else, the
famous farce comedy comes this year
like a record breaker. All along the
line there is but one comment-"It is
the best Dazzler that we have ever
seen" This is due to the fact that
unusual care has been taken in the
selection of the new interpretations,
singing, dancing, specialties and other
new features with which the new piece
abounds. All the old material has
been laid aside and it's place filled with
the brightest, latest and newest ma
teriaE that could be gathered in New
York. Some new faces will be in the
company, but all Of the old favorites
remain and are bound to receive a
hearty welcome by their many friends.

ly to the hearts of Americans and the
stirring situations, the realistic pc
RODS and the romantic and well-drawn
climaxes furnish such a wealth Of
unanimous verdict in the past, has
been that comedy and sentiment have
been happily and cleverly intermin-
gled. There is nothing that borders
on the sombre and no narrowing or
gruesome scenes offend. The dialogue
is brilliant and cheerful while the plot
is stirring and admirably brought out.
A very acceptable idea of the author
was the introduction of two strong
comedy characters, who at inoppor-
tune moments are constantly making
mistakes. and by their droll and witty
sayings manage to keep the audience
in a decidedly cheerful humor.

The st. Paul sailed today, but | had
to draw and issue meat to the reg
iment so the mail had gone before my
letter was finished. Yesterday four
Of us hired a couple Of natives to take
us up the river in their canoe. We we're
out ten hours, the longest / have been
free since May last. l saw quite a
strip Of country. The insurgent
guards stopped us twice, but one of
the boys was hospital steward
and showed them the red cross he
wore on his arm and they would say
"mucho'' grand, much good) and let
us go on. Saw bananas growing, but
only cut one bunch as the natives
keep them cut off pretty close so near
town. We landed at a little village
and went to see cathedral that was
near by. The building was construct
ed some time during the 18th century,
but is very well preserved and the
main room is finely decorated. In
front, all around the pulpit, it was in
laid with gold and all the arches
inside were also inlaid with that prec-
ious metal down as far as the wains-
coting. 1t is very large edifice and
there is an open court in the center.
The windows and doors are piled full
of rocks which the Spaniards brought
in to fortify the place, but modern
artillery would have soon reduced it to
heap OF ruins. We went into the
village and bought four Spanish
knives Of an old style. One Of them
was manufactured in 1892. They cost
us $l.25 Mex each. l have been Of
fered considerable more for mine. but
will keep it. The insurgents have a
fort in this town (San Peril and as the
band was playing we coaxed them to
let US inside. They played one Amer
lcsn air and two PHILIPPINE pieces of
music for US and their playing was
equal to any band l have ever heard
in America yet their instruments are
all cheap ones. After the music they
brought in some wine and did every.
thing they could to entertain us. We
could not get away from them till
after dark and then had to come right
home.
We have only had one mail from
the U. 5. since we have been here and
news don't come from Hong Kong
very often. We never hear about any
thing until month after it happens

Clothes are very cheap here. The
men wear a great deal of white, and
good white suit made to order only
cests SO Mex and in some places they
are sold for So Mex. Ten dollars q.
S. money, will buy the finest kind Of
dark colored suit. To see some Of
the soldiers on the street anyone
might think they were getting 800
a month instead Of fifteen. Most Of
them have canes, white suits and caps
and good many Of the boys have
bought silk shirts. 1t does not cost
much to keep the soldiers clothes
washed either. Our company made a
contract with a native to do all our
washing and ironing for $50 Mex or
$l.OO for each man, SO we can have a
clean suit every day il we want it and
it only costs us so cents month US.
