At s:30 the opera house was crowded to it's utmost capacity and remained SO until the end of the performance, and as the audi ence were tiling out of the theater on the way to their homes. many were
 heard to express the wish that the boys would give another entertainment in the near future
 Much credit is due MT. Will Young, the manager of the company, for the ability displayed in the arrangement of the program, every number being carri ed through without a hitch, and the audience were at no time kept in suspense from the opening to the closing of the entertainment.
 The opening overture by Mrs. Mark Lulley, the pianist of the evening, was finely rendered, as were also the selections played by this lady during the intermissions. Mrs Lulley is one of the finest performers on the piano that the people of Nogales have had the pleasure to hear, and her selec- tions aud accompaniment done mu oh towards making the performance success.
 The Wabash Trio-Bohall, Smith and Young, appeared in a character sketch, representing Dutchman, Irishman and Chinaman respectively, and their comic songs and witty re- marks, kept the house in an uproar.
 Virg Smith appeared twice on the program. First in Irish comedy spe- cialities, and then again in Irish melodies. It takes an Irishman to represent an Irish character, and Mir. Smith is second to none when 1t comes to putting on good rich brogue. His Irish melodies were very finely rendered and highly appre- ciated.
 Farmer .Farmsby's Friends" a sketch with Messrs. Bristol, Sykes, Van Treese and Young in the cast was side splitter Mir. Bristol as Farmer iFarmsby acted the part of a hayse ed to perfection and his ability as a mimic is unluestisned. The synopsis of the sketch was as follows: 4 party of stranded actors bent on ioshing anEold farmer succeed to a | nicety. After having considerable | sport with'the old man they throw of | their assumed characters, make friends with him and end the sketch | with some very fine music. MT. Van Treese, in the character of man hard ! of hearing was good, as was also MT. | Sykes as heavy villain and MT. | Young as crazy singer.
 The Premier violinist, Master Grey Lulley, was a genuine surprise. He handled the bow like professional and was encored several times. It was his first performance before an audience.
 Billy Young Is all right" was the expression heard on all sides at the conclusion of his act in which he in- troduced aoriginal song on Nogales, set to the music of ''There Will Be d Hot Time inIthe Old Town Tonight" The song was full of funny sayings and created great amusement
 MT. Milt Bohall has fine voice and that he knows how to use it the peo- pie who attended the entertainment are thoroughly convinced. It was his first public appearance in Nogales, and we hope it is not his last. He is a vocalist well worth hearing.
 The solo by Mr. Fred Herrera was

ABOUT THE FASHIONS.

It Is 2 great mistake to put too much handsome trimming on hat. A little of a better quality produces better effect.
 The dolman style of wrap is likely to have rather unwelcome reception. It is so difficult to move ones arms when wearing garment of this sort that it would be small wonder if sensible wom- cn refused to accept the fashion.
 There is nothing more becoming to the average woman than a hat made of dark velvet. When loosely laid over the frame and caught down with brilliant ;.ins or jewels and finished with little very rich trimming it is the ideal head gear.
 Theater wraps are elegant and elab- crate in the extreme. They are i'm mensely large and full, and as profusely trimmed as the most extravagant ball costume. Velvet. plush ard brocade are the favorite materials. ard fur. lace and ruchings the approved garniture.
 The shoulder care wrap still con- tinucs in style. and probably has se- flred a place that will make it difficult to sCpplant it. It is comfortable, easily '.ut Cn and very stylish. Such wraps are hccoming to almost every wo.1-c-e. even the stoutest being able to wear t.lem if properly modified and shaped to the figure.

AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE.

For an hour and half at Union Hill, N J., a couple of gluttons gOrged themselves in an eating and drinking contest Matthias Sommerman in that time drank eighty-nine glasses of beer and ate quantity of celery. His op- ponent, George Bertrand, consumed eighty-two glasses of beer, two pounds of chopped meat, pound of buck wurst, four hard boiled eggs, loaf of bread, fried potatoes and celery. The spectators enjoyed the disgusting bout hugely.
 Thomas Shepler, war veteran of Chillicothe, O., died there recently at the hour he had predicted he would pass away. His wife had died two days before, at the very time she had prophesied she would. Another re- markable fact in connection with the old couple was Shepler's existence for two months without food. He had cancer of the stomach, and for sixty days had not taken a morsel of nour- ishment.
 A Jersey City policeman is to be dropped from the force because he can- not tell the name of the capital of the state, nor that of the governor, or even the chief of police. As a matter of fact, Patrolman John McGrath doesn't know anything he ought to know, and is said to be an idiot. He has been on the force six years His mental condition is attributed to the hair dye he has been using to improve his looks.

PEACE OR WAR.

It is an enormous problem, what this country will do if it receives from the court of inquiry a report holding the Spanish authorities responsible for the disaster of the battleship Maine. Even if such responsibility be not directly official, if it consists only of neglect to prevent or restrain the acts of fanat- ics, the problem will be a momentous one.
 Whether in such case the sentiment of the people can be appeased by any money settlement is likely to receive good deal of attention. There are some things that cannot be measured in dollars.
 Behind all this, there is the moral and humanitarian aspect Of the situa- tion, as regards Cuba and its people. For years past these questions have been drawing to a focus. The Ameri- can people have shuddered and pro tested while looking on at the barbar- ities within a few miles of their free land, and have with difficulty with held their hands from intervention. Will further restraint be possible? Will it be right.
 These are considerations with which the American people and their govern ment at Washington have to deal in the immediate future. They are to be dealt with calmly, but the outcome is not awaited without anxiety.

THE REPUBLICAN LEADS.

The Republicans circulation was never in a healthier condi- tion than now. If you are an advertiser and desire informa- tion concerning the output of the Phoenix dailies talk with the carrier boys, who have accurate knowledge of the city routes. They will tell you that The Re publican circulates more papers in Phoenix than its two contem- poraries combined.
 The postmaster could tell, if he would, which Phoenix newspa- per pays the most to the gov ernment for mail service. The Republican would regard it as a favor if he would give the facts concerning this important matter. The Republican is read by everybody in this valley whose patronage is worth hay ing.
