GrandOpera House.

A large audience was present at the
Grand Opera house, the attraction be-
ing John w. Isham's "Octoroons," with
a varied programme, which embraces
some of the best talent of their race.
Heading the company is Madame Flow
ers, whose voice is sufficiently good to
allow of her appellation of the Bronze
Melba." She participated in the after
piece, which is known as Thirty Min
utes Around the Operas and which is
a delightful medley of the favorite
numbers from the best known light and
classic operas. This company is a
large one, consisting of fifty comedians,
dancers, musicians and singers, all of
whom have talent above the ordinary
colored minstrel The performance
opens with an original absurdity en-
titled ''Dark-town Outing at Blaekville
Park" which introduces the entire
company in skiff filled with mirth,
merriment, dialogue, singing and dane
ing, and closes with a burlesque foot

A Disputed Question Settled by the
Chance Appearance in the Crowd.
Was it a statue or a woman? A
large crowd had gathered in front of
the show window Of a popular Broad
way shoe store and stood gazing curl
ously in at the figure, which remained
so immobile that it might be marble
and yet so beautiful that it must be a
woman. There was not movement OF
muscle, culver of the eyelid, or mo-
ton of the lips. Men smiled, waved
their hands, waved their handkerchiefs
but there was no response. Surely it
was statue.
Look like it's made of wax" said
one in the crowd.

MIR. KINDEAD'S, REMARKABLE
CANDER.
Zone of the most remarkable birds in
the State" said gentleman from
Elizabethtown, lis owned by Mr.
James A. Kindead, Secretary of the
Hardin County Fair Association. It is
a gander, and everybody in the neigh
borhood is acquainted with it,
1.-THE ganders name is Solid Silver
and it answers to it's name as quick as
any hand on Mr.. Kindead's farm. The
gander acts as watchdog would about
the place, and no stranger dares enter
the yard unattended by a member of
the family, as those who have tried to
and been forced to beat an ignominious
retreat will attest. The gander has
sense like a horse, and learns new
tricks almost every day in the week.
This gander goes to the granary
and shakes a plank, when the yellow
corn roll out for it's daily food. 1t fol-
lows it's owner to and from the field
just as dog would.
when the bell is rung calling the
hands to their meals his grandership
sets up a quaclSing and continues it
until all have come in, when he him
self goes to the granary and by shak-
ing a loose plank with his bill shakes
down corn for his dinner.
"If, perchance, Solid Silver is in the
house and any member of the family
leaves the door ajar, he does not rest
until he has closed it. His owner will
have Solid Silver on exhibition at the
next Elizabethtown fair, Louisville

rnn ~ poRArIo PRIMARIES.

Carney, Carr and Brethauer Captured
Delegations from Most of the Wards.
The majority of the delegates to the
town and city democratic convention
at the democratic primaries held in the
various wards of the city yesterday af-
ternoon and last evening are those who
will vote in the convention for 7. p.
Carney for general registrar, James j..
Carr for registrar of vital statistics,
and Frederick n. Brethauer for town
clerk. In nearly all the wards there
was a hot contest, the two opposing
factions being headed by Alderman e.
A. Rourke of the Sixth ward, who
was making contest for the Office of
general registrar, and ]. p. Carney, the
present incumbent, who desires anoth-
err term. Pitted against Mr. Carr for
the nomination of registrar of vital
statistics was James F. Scott and ex-
Alderman Doughan of the Sixth ward,
and against Mr.. Brethauer, the pres
ent town clerk, Albert Widman was
making a contest for the nomination
to that office. AS the delegates from
the various wards now look it seems
that the nominations of Messrs, Car
ney, Carr and Brethauer are assured
in the town and city conventions, but
it is possible that in the meantime
there may be changes which may be
more favorable to the other candidates.

SECOND WARD.


There was lively time in the Second
ward and the matter will in all proba-
bility have to be settled by the town
committee. There were two tickets in
the field, one supporting Rourke for
registrar and the other Carney.
The Rourke ticket received 1879 votes
and the Carney ticket 2S5, but Modera-
tor Kirby declared the Carney ticket
illegal because of an irregularity in the
heading of the ticket The moderator
claimed that the name of the place of
holding the primary should not have
been on the ticket mad for this reason
declared the Rourke ticket elected. This
decision raised a howl in the Carney
ranks. They claim that the moderator
has no power to declare a ticket il
legal There were several warm argu-
ments, but nothing serious resulted.
The delegates supporting Rourke are:
Town and city-Fred w. Nottingham,
James Carr, John ]. Widman, Richard
F. Barry and Bernard Brady; alter
nate, Dennis Henchy.
Ward nominating committee-Charles
S. Hamilton, John Mccarthy, John j.
Sullivan, John J. Moran and seventy
five others.
Box tender-John Terrell.
Checker-John J. Tormey

The reputation of The Idols l1ye"
had preceded it and drew a large crowd
to the Hyperion last night, The music
is of a high order as that of
some of the comic operas which have
appeared in the last two Years. The
solo parts are not strong, and the Choir
uses produced a good effect. Miss
Maud Courtney's song In the Sec
ond act was sung with feeling and ex-
preston. Her voice is strong and of a
peculiar quality, such as Is rarely
heard. Maurice Darcy and Helen
Redmond were also we'll received in
their kissing song in the first act
Altogether there is more comedy
than opera in the production. Frank
Daniels occupies the stage a greater
part of the time His general appear
ance is comical, and his wit is strong,
although somewhat rough. A. C.
Wheelan played his part In good style.
The play Is handsomely staged. The
play is highly enjoyable, and should be
well received at it's second presentation
tonight.

while noting that the ground covered
by the inquiries was too extensive for
thorough work. 1t is apparent now to
all that the hopes of the people were

The choking off of a witness who
was inclined TO help the Commission
to locate the blame for a series of
transportation blunders or frauds such
as those that starved our men at San
tiago is the last proof that was needed
to enlighten the dullest mind. In this
the Commissioners did not exceed their
rights. Their refusal to admit the
newspaper men was expected; but 1t
was not expected it would be made un-
der the false pretenses that have been
so quickly exposed. Their right to pre-
vent the carefully selected witnesses
from saying what would convict the
War Department of fault is unques-

delusion that they would probe the

sunrise. AS surely as every man con-

peared from public view, so surely do

sometimes, as in the case of eX-Presi-

take of writing not one. but series of

General Harrison that he wrote those
