There is, in the judgment of many great
American theatrical capitalists, no better
property-if an individual on the stage
can thus be commercially termed-in the
union today than Della Fox, the popular
and chic comedienne, who is to appear at
the New National next Monday night in
THE Little Host Consequently, when
it was known that she was going to pro-
duce her new operate comedy, written
by Edgar Smith and Louis de Lange this
season not less than a dozen of these
speculative gentlemen are said TO have
made overtures TO her, Offering to ad-
vance almost any sum for the privilege
of receiving a modicum of the profits. To
each and all of these parties Miss Fox
declared that she was resolved this year
to go 1t alone. She was tired, she said,
of making money for other people and
she thought herself justified in securing
what returns there might be for herself.
This, probably, is the first time that
comedienne has become her own financial

The chorus of the De Angels Opera
Company, which opens at the Lafayette
next Monday, is said to be one of the best
that has been recruited in New York for
many seasons. 1t was certainly the fl st
to be engaged this summer, and Ben ID.
Stevens, manager of the De Angels Or
ganizauon, expended nearly three hours
day for almost two months in the Sc
lection of the voices to be heard here.
BY commencing early he is said to have
been enabled TO get his pick of the total
available contingent and, if one is to be-
lieve what he is tod, has come very near
TO getting the cream of that attractive
comic opera element. Mr.. Stevens boldly
asserts that he has not only acquired the
best OF singers for the ensemble work of
THE jolly Musketeer," but that he has
also secured the best looking and the
best acting" ladies and gentlemen in
this branch of stage work. The def,
modestly but firmly enunciated by the
De Angels Opera Company to other big
organizations, is, consequently, large,
round and emphatic. Undoubtedly,

on hand to pass Judgment on this prize

DISABILITIES REMOVED.

Glnportant bills Passed by the House
.-Obliterntion of Sectional Feeling.
The session of the house was given
to the consideration and passage of
bills called up by Mr. jenkins of Wis
consin to remove all political disabili-
ties incurred by the third section Of
the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution. The debate gave rise to
notable. speeches from Mr.. Grosvenor
of Ohio and Mr.. Settle Of Kentucky
upon the obliteration Of sectional feel
ing and the reality at last of a reunit-
ed country. Incidental to the debate
several members reviewed the con-
clusion that q member Of congress
could not hold simultaneously a mill
tary and civil office. The debate was
brought on by reference to Gen. Joe
Wheeler, now serving as major gen
eral, and until recently a member of
the house. The statements that some
states were unable to respond to the
demands for volunteers called forth
incidentally explanations and an 0l-
legged interview with Mr.. Oyerstreet of
Indiana upon the subject rejecting
upon the loyalty Of certain states was
condemned by several members, but
the discussion was declared out of or

but few parties since the general acts

The suspension was caused by a

WORK OF CONGRESS-

Washington, June L. Another day
has been passed by the senate in fruit
less discussion Of the war revenue
measure. Not the slightest material
progress was made toward disposing
of the bill. Speeches were made by
Mr.. Mason Of Illinois, Mr.. Lodge of
Massachusetts and Mr.. Elkins of West
Virginia. Mr.. Mason strongly adyo.
Gated an amendment to the bill placing
tax upon wheat flour adulterated
either with clay or with corn -four.
and presented a long statement by the
National Association of American
Millers In support of his contention.
Mr.. Lodge had intended to defend his
action IN. Offering the Hawaiian annex
alton resolution as an amendment to
the pending bill, but refrained be-
cause, he said, secret session would
be demanded If that discussion was
started. After commenting somewhat
severely upon the arrogance of the
minority which prevented action upon
question which the administration
and majority of both branches of
congress desired to dispose of, he be-
gan discussion of some questions
arising out Of the present war. Evil
IDENTIFY believing this not a proper sub
ject for public discussion Mr.. Turpie
forced secret legislative session. In
the open session that followed Mr..
Elkins discussed the general features
of the pending bill, opposing the cor
poration tax, the tax on bank deposits
and the issue of greenbacks, and
strongly advocated the issue of bonds.
In the House.
The house passed q bill authorizing
the construction of railway bridge
across Lake st. Francis, near Lake
City, Ark; also concurrent resolution
directing the commission now codify-
ing the criminal laws to prepare and
submit code of civil law and pro-
cedure for Alaska. A number of Dri-
vate bills were passed and the house,
in committee. of the whole, considered
bill authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to keep open during June and
July this year such life saving sta
lions Oh the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
as he might deem advisable. The bill
was urged by the secretary of the
navy, providing for the continuance in
the months named of an important ad-
junct to the naval and coast signal
service in making efficient the patrol
service. After som desultory discus
sion the bill was amended to carry

The Greatest Dictionary Now Printed in
Our Language.
Viewed from the standpoint Of the
guage the Standard Dictionary is a
guide and reference work sans pareil.
It sanctions only the best forms of US
age, giving a full characterization of
variant forms, calculating words as for
eign, dialectic, provincial, 'colloquial,
vulgar or barbarous. The Importance
of this cannot be Cverestimated, as it
at once relieves the mind of the stu
dent as to the aptness and elegance OF
the term required, when there appears
to be one or more terms applicable to
the case in point. 1t is essentially rep
resentatively dehnitfme; verifying all
definitions by the chronological sense,
in comprehensive, accurate and SIM
rle manner. Great care has been exer-
cised in the gathering into the Ian
guage of new words; provincialisms
which are and have been migrating
themselves into the English tongue are
collected and defined; scientific and
handicraft terms are likewise treated,
and technical terms not in common use
among technicians, are vigorously ex-
cluded, thus doing away with a great
amount of useless bulk. But the crown
ing glory of the Standard is its persist
ent and consistent simplification OF
spelling-the elimination of the diph-
thong being not the least Ass o dehnl-
tive work it stands supreme. Detinl-
tions are given in groups, as members
under generic heads, etymologically
verified to elucidate meaning, nlustrat-
ed copiously and aided by synonyms
and antonyms Its full and Intelligent
system of compounding, scientifically
arranged, is a noble stride in the path
of progress.
