This Notable Comic Opera Will BE Pre-
sented Feb. is by the Largest Conn
pany Ever Seen In BrattlebOrO.
The announcement that Kirke La
sales big comic opera production, "The
Wizard of the Nile" is to be seen at the
Auditorium Friday evening, Feb. Is, will
Interest all classes of theatre-goers, since
the opera has all the elements which ap-
peal to the generality of play lovers, as well
as to those of a higher musical apprecia-
ton.
One may canvass the list of comic OPP
.eras covering a decade without finding
more perfect example of the all-around en-
tertainment than 1.-The Wizard of the
Nile" and it is this fact which has led to
its great success, not only in America, but
III London and the more important cities
Of continental Europe. The opera might
be Invested of its musical setting entirely
and it would still remain an exceptionally
bright, witty and interesting play, so sim
pie and convincing is the story, so numer-
Gus and amusing are the incidents, and so
3faphic and well contrasted are the char
aeters, to say nothing of the atmosphere
Of ancient Egypt and the peculiarly quaint
and effective coloring of the various scenes.
But in addition to all these merits is the
music, WHICH is IIle kluu WHICH, Wcdlo anu
frows in esteem even after one has heard
e half dozen times. The test of a comic
operas worth lies in whether people care
TO hear it second or a sixth time, and
this test 1.-THE Wizard of the Nile" has
met as CALAMITY and with as much honor
Is has "Robin Hood" There is not a
week in the season when some patron does
not seek out the manager to announce
that he has heard 1.-The Wizard of the
Nile" from three or four to dozen times
and invariably the statement is concluded
with the remark that the last time was the
most enjoyable of ALL
Manager La Shelle fully realizing the
fact that "The Wizard" is destined to be
paying property for many seasons, has
left nothing undone in his efforts to keep
the performance up to the high mark OF
excellence which has heretofore character
ized them. He has given it an elaborate
staging of special scenery throughout, ha:
costumed it with lavish richness and has
engaged an unusually large and compe
tent company to interpret its fun and mu
oIc. The chorus numbers 40 people anC
has been selected with extreme care. Spe
cIal musicians are also carried, and +. l.

Take the Initiative, and is Therefore
Opposed to an Early Adiournmt MT.

New York, March 19---The
Washington dispatches re-
ceived by the afternoon pa
pers say that the president
proposes to make congress
jointly responsible with him
for the possible war. Instead
therefore of. issuing a pro-
cIamation declaring Cuba in
dependent, the president is
credited with stating that
congress should take the ini-
tiative, and he is now opposed
to an early adjournment for
this reason. He approved
Senator Proctor's speech
which will give both houses
all information. Congress
needs no further incentive
for action.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS-.
A Southern Congressman Gets Warm
Over an Insignificant Dispatch.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-In the
house today Mr.. Henry, of Mississippi,
rising to a question of privilege, sent
to the clerk 3 desk a Vienna dispatch
printed this morning in which the
Spanish ambassador at that capitol is
reported to have said that ''if during
war with the United States the latter
country should incite the Philippine es
in to q revolt, Spain could revenge her
self by raising revolts in the American
southern states" which the clerk
began to read. Mr.. Dineley raised the
point that no question of privilege was
presented, and was sus' aimed by the
speaker. Mr.. Henry said: 'That dis
patch contains a reflec; ion against the
people of my section, and 1 want to
repel; 1 want to have it read" but
Speaker Reed held his position, and
the postoffice bill was considered.

CUMBERLAND, MD, Nov. 1i.-Col.
Thos. B. Davis, brother of ex-senator
Henry g. Davis, elected to the Legisla-
ture from Mineral county, West Virginia,
on the Democratic ticket, was in Cnms
berland to-day. He said that his large
majority in a Republican county could be
accounted for by the fact that he knew
nearly every man in it, and that they were
almost all his personal friends. He said
further that when his brother. Henry g..
Davis, ran for the Senate he received the
vote of every man in Piedmont except
one, and for the same reason that he had
just been elected.
Speaking of the congressional fight in
the second district between McGraw and
Dayton he said that he deeply regretted.
McGraw's defeat; that he had nj warmer
friend than McGraw and McGraw had no
warmer friends than himself and his
brother. Mr.. Davis continued 'The
vote on the line of our railroad is gadu-
ally becoming Republican. The new
corners from Pennsylvania in the lumber
business aud the miners from Allegany
in the coal mines are from rs to so per
cent. Republican, and with these facts
before US we must recognize a changed
condition. McGraw has no warmer sup
porters than myself and friends. I fear"
added the Colonel, chat the Legislature
is Republican BY about seven ON the joint
ballot. but the returns are not complete,
aud it is possible that we may control at
