 SOTJSA'S RAND.

Speaking of his new march "The Sousa recently said to reporter: The march was written when I was in Europe year ago, and finished on board ship coming home. I have often heard people say that when in for eign country the sight of the stars and stripes seems the most glorious in the world. My idea was to climax the march with three themes--one repre- senting the north, a broad sweeping theme; the south, with it's languorous beauty and romance, and the west, a strong, pushing melody, carrying ev- erything before it. These themes were to blend harmounously, but were to be used independently if necessary. It is full of the military spirit with which I have been familiar from childhood, having lived all my life in the atmos- phere of the army. "The Stars and Stripes Forever" will be one of the many popular features of the grand concert of Sousa and his band, assisted by Maud Reese Davies, soprano, and Jennie Hoyle, violiniste, at the Hype- rion on Thursday evening next.

 Grand Opera House.
 The attraction at the Grand last night was new and very excellent comedy drama, "Tennessee's Pard- | ner." It is pretty love story found ed on an ideal romance by Bret Harte The play is clean, wholesome and strong and is worthy of big houses. | The main incident of the plot tells of | a young girl from Tennessee, whose | father, former resident of the camp, | is dead. To keep up the deception, the | friends of the man write letters to the | girl, supposedly from the father. The l girls mother dies, leaving her alone in the world. At the same time, by acci- dent, the miners forget to send the usual letter, and the girl comes on to | Nevada, unexpectedly making her ap- pearance in the camp on the same day l that preparations are being made to re- ceive the bride and one of the men. The beauty of the play lies in the at l titude of the men towards the girl their efforts to inform her of the | death of her father and the final dele gation of the task to Caleb Swan, "the high-tone card dealer" The scene in which Swan tells the girl of this is perhaps one of the most affecting and realistic iii any play on the stage to- day An excellent company presents the play. First and foremost is Jane | Corcoran, who gave a sweet reading of | the part of Tennessee. Her southern dialect was soft and appealing and her manner such as to win all hearts. MT. | Brophy as Swan was good throughout
 He gave corectconception of gam bier of the Rockies, who lives up to a code of morals and appreciates the quality of honor, and loyalty to a pard- ner-and a sweetheart. Estha Will Hams showed a fine knowledge and ex- l perience in emotional work. Miss An nie Mortimer gave a clever character study of a mining camp boarding house keeper and Percy Plunkett as Hay, the biggest liar in the camp-kept the house in continual roars of laughter | The singing by the quartette of male
 voices is capital and was enjoyed by everybody All in all the performance
 is delightful one.
 Matinees will be given to-day an6 | tomorrow and the engagement vii
 close with tomorrow nights perform.
