There is a railroad in the western
portion of this State that makes a
business of snubbing newspapers.
Recent floods damaged it badly and
the fair presumption is that the
journalists of that section will not
hasten to announce that it is open
again and ready for business and a
safe road upon which to travel. What
say you, Bro. Morris, Of the Richie
Gazette?

The Statesman's plea that "busi.

against a loan for the purpose Of
erecting a needed school building is
the very strongest plea that could he
made in favor of the proposition.
The suggestion Of loan was due to
the tact that better school houses are
necessary and loan would give them
without compelling immediate pay

MR.. WISE MAKES TROUBLE.
His Action May Put Stop to Legis-

The members of the House have been

unanimous consent and the mutual con-
cession scheme was moving nicely But
Mr. Wise of Virginia started a difficulty
yesterday that threatens to put stop
to all consideration of bills by unani-

Democrat had objected to bill he (Wise)
had endeavored to bring up.
Mr. Bailey said he did not believe in
reprisals. but II it had to be applied he
gave notice that it should be applied
without execution or discrimination.
| Mr.. Henderson, from the Committee on
Rules, reported a special resolution from
| that committee creating a select COM

Mr. Cannon asked If the committee
| would report a census bill this session
| Mr.. Henderson replied that he could not

sus bill and there was no committee TO
| consider it.
Mr.. Henderson replied that the resolu-

AT THE THEATERS.
Glen Echo-"Frn DiavoIo.'

Having finished a course in the primary
department of comic opera. taken a de-
gree in it's higher branches and passed
the top grades of the romantic with hon
ors, the Parry Opera Company last night
began its work in still more lofty fields
and graduated into musical drama. The
foundation laid in its previous studies
was of great assistance in SO supreme an
effort and the result was a performance
of Fra Diavolo'' of which the manage
ment must have been as proud as the au-
dience was pleased
Fra Diavolo" is the half way line be-
tween heavy and comic composition. 1t
marks just such a middle class as Wag-
merriam enthusiasts, chagrined at finding
some one other than their idol could in
cite harmony, claimed Pierte Mascagui
laid down in publishing ''Cayalleria Rus
ticana." Occasionally brilliant in it's rich
humor and true wit, there is in the libret-
to powerful story told in epochs of
dramatic interest. The music, while
light and often of the variety termed
catchy" has a certain dignity totally
lacking in many works of greater pre-
tensions. II possesses much of the fire
and movement of Bizet coupled with that
delicacy and beauty that seems TO be the
identifying portion of Gounod's work
Unlike Carmen" and unlike Faust it
has still many of the characteristics of
both.
After an absence of many years from
the local stage the opera appeared to
double advantage in the hands of such
singing and acting company as Mr..
a (lynh ~hn
light effects We're of the usual variety.
while the cast could hardly have been
| surpassed. Charles Hawley who as
sumed the title role, has already exhibit
| ed his merits here frequently and won
universal praise only two weeks ago by
| his labor in The Chimes of Normandy" I"
| AS the redoubtable bandit whose mis-
| deeds had won him the mephistophelian
| soubriquet of Fra Diavolo he showed
| force and fire rare even in the most ac-
| complished actors. His death scene was
done without a suspicion of ranting, and
| yet with ability that made impossible
| the suggestion of more feeling. Mr.. Haw-
| ley has magnificent voice of great
| range and sweetness, and all the lyrics
given him were we'll delivered. The rob-
| Der song. ION Yonder Rock Reclining, .
| could not have been better rendered. and
| in common with many other of his solos
| won an encore. Frank Deshon and Tom

Observation-Disclosures

Had the large audience present last
night at the Columbia Theater numbered
one of those hypercritical. dyspeptic old
beings whose belief in the statement
that no one has acted since the days of
the story system has never been shaken,
the neighbors nearest him would have had
an evening full of interest. Earthquakes
and other mild disturbances would prob
ably have paled into insignificance by the
side of the wonderful change of opin-
ion that must have shaken him.
Never in the history of local hot
weather orga anizations has there been
such a presentation as that vouchsafed
'Esmeralda" at the hands of the Column
bia Company. Not only did the entire
performance go with smoothness and ease
that could ordinarily haze been only the
! result of weeks of labor, but every char
| acterization and impersonation was so
clearly the work of an artist that the
most devoted admirers of each player
| sat aghast at the excellence of his i'm
| personation. Through an entire cast of
| the most exciting nature there was not
! a single flaw nor a minor point that was
not praiseworthy The production as
| production cannot be poken of too
highly. In comparison even last seasons
| beautiful Offering of "A Scrap of Paper"
| and the equally pleasing one of "Niobe''
| lose much of their charm. Yesterday
| evenings entertainment was not one
| that needed charity in criticism. The
| friends of the company were only afraid
| each act that the next would not be up
| to the standard of the last. and then sur
| prised that il was even superior to that
| preceding.
| .Esmeralda" is perhaps as idyllic a bit
! of sentiment as has ever been written.
| It abounds in rich touches OF color such
| as befit the authoress of the story. while
| William Gillette has told the plot dra-
! niatically in a wonderful manner. Be
| ginning with just such scene as Au-
| gustus Thomas has often shown us il
| drifts into the Paris of humanity and
| humaness-not the Paris of a Du Maurier
| but that OF the world. The people one
| meets there are such as he would be
proud to know in real life and the situa-
| tions through which they travel are of
| the most delicate sort. Under such con-
ditions one can forgive Mr.. Gillette's in
| evitable dawdler and the equally inevit-
| able vein of ore always discovered on the
farms of stage country folk.
AS has been said the presentation
| abounded in artistic personal touches.
Never in his career has James o. Bar
| rows done a more perfect bit of work
| than his Elbert Rogers. His impersona-
ton was filled with the most praisewor-
