Madame Modjeska is playing but a short engagement this season, the first for al- most two years. This illustrlous represen- tative of the highest dramatic art has not been seen in Birmingham for number of years, and this may be her last engagement here, although she is by means adver- tising her farewell appearance.

The New York Democrats.

The Democratic campaign in the
state of New York will be conducted
on state issues, no inconsiderable num-
Der of which fortune has kindly pro-
vided as the fruit Of four years Of Re-
publican rule at Albany. The last
Democratic governor was Roswell P.
Flower. The next Democratic governor
will be Judge Augustus Van Wyck, of
Brooklyn. who was nominated by the
Syracuse convention yesterday He is
an older brother of Mayor Robert A.
Van Wyck, Of New York, and his
availability for the mayoralty of Great
err New York was seriously discussed
by Richard Croker and Hugh Nc
Laughlin when that important NOM
ination was under consideration. The
intimate relationship between Mr..
Croker and the younger Van Wyck is
slngularly paralleled in the case Of
Judge Van Wyck and Mr.. Mclaughlin,
for so many years the Democratic lead
er of Brooklyn.
Judge Van Wyck is Of Dutch stock,
hard-headed, sensible and conserVa-
tive. He has long occupied a COM
manding position on the bench, and he
is above reproach. His Democracy
cannot be questioned His candidacy
will appeal to the intelligence Of men
of all shades of opinion He is a safe
man, and his election will insure an
honest and economical administration
OF the states affairs, now so sadly tan
gled. He may not have handled a sa-
ber but he has held the scales of JUS
tice, and history has not recorded the
defeat of candidate of his character
and attainments when placed in nomi-
nation by united Democracy. He
ought to have a majority over Col.
Roosevelt Of 10000, and undoubtedly he
will.
The platform made no reference to
national issues. The convention ap-
plauded most heartily the name of
William j. Bryan when it was men
toned in one Of the nominating speech

1.-The Beggar Student is one of Miloecker's
prettiest operas. 1t is peculiar in that the
story is serious and furnishes several dra-
matte c.imaXes, and yet the music is ever
bright and catchy, and where one might ex-
pect to hear something Wagnerlan in keep
ing with the situations the strains are light
and simple
The story deals with Polish history during
the time when the grand duke was banished
and was in hiding in Krakow. Gen
Ollendorf is governor of the province and Is
residing at the home Of Countess Palmatica
and her two daughters, Laura and Brouis-
lava. The general falls in love with Laura
but is not to her liking and is cast aside
To revenge himself he enlists the services
Of two inmates Of the military prison, Symon
Symonovicz. The Beggar Student" and
Janitzky, a Polish noble, although unknown
as such to the prison officials. The two are
arrayed in fine Clothes, supplied with money
and introduced to the countess and her daugh-
ters as a Polish prince and his secretary.
The countess, rich in nobility but poor In
money, allows the prince to WOO and win
Laura. The two fall desperately In love and
the "Beggar Student" relents and decides
to confess. He writes letter explaining the
situation, but II does not reach Laura and

loves him In spite Of his lowly ancestors al
lows the marriage 70 take place and at its
close discovers that his wife still thinks him
a prince. Gen. Ollendorf completes his re-
venge by denouncing the impostor, who Is
led away by his supposed secretary amid
the jeers of the guests Later the scene
changes the grand duke is triumphant in
battle and the "Beggar Student" is knighted
for his loyalty and the story ends with he
and his bride happily reunited.
Miss Morton, in the part Of Laura, was
superb putting into it dash and vim and
singing the lines In a way that carried the
audience with her. Hubert Wllke. as the
"Beggar Student" seemed peculiarly fitted
for the part. This may be better understood
when it is known that the opera was writ
ten for him by Milloecker. 1t was In a Way
builded about him. He Is q splendid actor
and possesses a magnificent voice, and both
qualities are given full play In 1.-THE Beggar
Student" He and Miss Morton shared equal
ly in the applause and at the close of the
second act the audience would not desist
in showing their appreciation until both had
appeared before the curtain. Miss Rita Har-
rington, Brouislava; Miss Sylvia Cornish,
as the Countess Palmatica; George Callahan
as Gen. Ollendorf and Edward Webb, as
Janitzky were all most acceptable and sang
their parts well, even better than in the pre-
ceding productions. The opera is handsome
ly staged and cosumed, and Is altogether
one of the prettfest and purest comic operas
that has ever been seen in St. Paul.
1.-The Beggar Student" will be repeated
tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening.

In the assassination of the Austrian empress
the fanaticsm Of the anarchist was doubtless
intensified by hatred for the Austrians-a

surrounded her in the most threatening man

royal group, and browning this abuse by
making the empress the target for volleys Of
mud and stones. The empress on this occa-
sion narrowly escaped with her life. The mo-
tive for the outrage was the same that led the
Italian assassin ten years later to select the
Empress of Austria as his first victim-the
fact that the natives of Northern Italy look
upon the Austrian royal line as the cruelest
tyrants under the sun. Their hatred dates
back to the beginning of the century, when
the natives Of Northern Italy died by hun

Strife Among County Officers.

The Democratic county convention
declared that the time Of the county
officers had been given over to petty
strife and quarrels amongst them
selves. Both of the local Republican
organs. commenting upon the Demo-
cratic platform, said that these charges
were too palpably false to carry con-
viction.
The convention undoubtedly had in
mind the fact that there has been much
litigation between the county officers
1t is hardly worth while to consider
whether this litigation is to be classed
as petty strife or otherwise. The fact
is that, for two years, there has been
quarreling amongst the officials that
required the intervention of the courts.
1t may or may not have been petty.
We submit the following from the court
records to show that strife has been
the order Of the administration. We
