THE EARRINGS OF THE COUNT.
ESS.

| 1t was in the palmiest days Of Ii
Second Empire. 1t wes an evening
midwinter. The Paris season was q
it's height, and brilliant audience hst
assembled at the Theatre Francois |,
| witness the performance Of Jules San
deaus delightful play, "AIademoisell
de la Seigiere."
The Empress was present, graceful
and beautiful; the Emperor at her side
wrapped in his favorite air Of gloomy
abstraction, which, like Lord Burleigh' s
celebrated nod. was supposed to mean
go much, yet which, viewed by the i'm
partial light Of subsequent veracious
history, seems to have signifed 80 lit
tie. Several officers in glittering uni
forms were in attendance, sparkling
with decorations showered upon them
by a grateful sovereign; and among
these gallant warriors, conspicuous by
reason of his attire, was solitary,
hum BILE, black-coated civilian, in ordi-
nary evening dress, with the inevitable
speck Of red at his buttouhole.
In box, Immediately opposite that
&C cupied by their Imperial Majesties,
was young and exceedingly hand
some Russian lady, Countess Ivanof.
concerning whose manifold fascina-
tions the great world Of Paris elected
to interest itself considerably.
The beauty and wit Of this fair
northern cnchantress were the theme
Of every masculine tongue, and her
diamonds the envy of all
feminine beholders. The countess was
acc ompanied by her husband, man of
distinguished appearance.
The curtain fell after the Grst act.
The Emperor and Empress withdrew
during the intermission. Many hum
bier mortals followed their example i
'mong them Count Ivanof, apparently |
n nowise disturbed by the fact that |

semed to form sort of luminous
alo round hsr graceful head; q myriad
starry blilliants cleaned among the
asses Of her gold-brown hair, and two
riceless stones flashed and twinkled
her little shell-tinted ears. |,

THE DAzZLER PLEAsEs.
Every Actor an Artist and a Good Play
Presented

Just to show you that we know good
thing when we hear it we are now ready
to say that better show in its line has
never Deen seen in The Dalles than that
T presented by the "Dazzler" company
last night. From the moment the two
comedians. Boulden and Wright, came
upon the stage, the audience was as
sured they were to have their moneys
worth, and their every appearance was
greeted with applause. The former is
an all-around actor-a comedian, TRACE
dian and frst-class musician combined,
his stage presence being faultless; and
the latter falls not far short of him.
Before the play ended every actor and
actress had proven themselves stars in
some line, either being graceful actor,
fine singer or frst-class dancer.
The ''Dazzler" was dazzling in the
extreme, her beauty capturing the au-
dience and her sweet voice holding them
during the entire performance. While
most of the actresses possess fine voices,
perhaps that of Miss Grace Warren
might be chosen as the richest, its ex-
cellence being shown in the burlesque
lopera. ReIdy and Beddell also won
great favor, for none could listen to their
voices without being captiv&ted by
them.
While every feature of the second and
third acts was deserving of special men
ton, we cannot refrain from mentioning
the song and dance by Rose Leslie and
Evelyn Audley; the mirror trio by
Wright, Reidy and Beddell, and the
perfect dancing of James Dooling, who
is wonder in his line.
One of the most beautiful features of
the evening was the operate war picture
at the end of the second act. and great
applause followed the final triumph of
our stars and stripes. Particular affect
ing was the tableau wherein the
wounded soldier received the ministra.
tions of a nurse of the Red Cross society
and was applauded by the nation.
The musical performance of Boulden
and Griffin in the last act was worth the
price of admission, while their Jokes
were extremely witty. not including a
single joke which has grown stale or be-
come a chestnut.
The Dazzler will be repeated tonight
at the Vogt. Admission so cents.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it2
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single scale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain TO
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.

played the strange immunity
which the American sailor seems to
have in the midst of death and car
mage.
That but one of our sailors, a
yeoman on the Brooklyn, should
have been killed in an engagement
Of this magnitude, is without a par
allel in navy annals, save in that
other unparalleled record which
Dewey made at Manila.
With the Spanish fleet destroyed
the way is partly cleared for the adj
vance of the American squadron
into the harbor of Santiago. If
Cervera's armored cruisers could
cross the mine field and clear the
Merrimac at the entrance to the
harbor, the American ships can fol-
low the same course. There are
the inner Notifications and island
forts still to be reduced, but they
have passed through baptism of
fire recently and are little more
than ruins. Thus with Shafter's S
guns laundering on Santiago from
