The "Dazzler."

=; II has been many day since a
Daltes audience was better entertained
than that which attended the show
given by the "Da2zler" at Vogt opera
house. The play is in three acts, but
is almost devoid of plot. yet so cleverly
do the actors perform that the audi
ence is continuously entertained
Every member Of the company is good,
there being no particular star for all
are stars. The singing is of high
order, the dancing is good, and the
musical turn by Reidy and Beddell is
fine. Their performance Oh goblets
and with sleigh bells is perhaps the
best part OF the show, though 1t is all
good and well worthy of patronage.
The "Dazzler'' should be greeted
by good house this evening.

three or four miles of this city but
who would contribute his mite

Tue disposition of some business men
to cover their own errors in judgment or
i'll success by reporting depression
caused by war excitement is no new
thing. Before it breeds mischief affecting
others who have been more enterprising
and successful it may be we'll to point
out just how the more noticeable differ
ences originated. As samples three may
be taken-in certain lines of cotton goods,
in raw wool and few lines of woollen
goods, and in fraction OF the boot and
shoe business. From such quarters come
reports that business has been checked,
and vet is larger in the boot and shoe
manufacture, as a whole, than ever be-
fore, and also in the woolen manufacture
as whole, and in almost every branch
Of the iron and steel manufacture, as in
many other industries OF Importance.
Further, the records OF actual payments
show that the aggregate OF all business is
considerably larger than i'll the most
prosperous OF past years d that failures
have been remarkably small, over Is per
cent less than last year and % per cent
less than in 1896. Obviously exceptional
and not general causes may be safely
reckonod accountable under such cundi-
tions for differences in portions OF the
great industries.

THE sailing Of the Spanish torpedo
fleet from the Canarics for Puerto Rico
excites the war cry in some quarters. 1t
is declared to be 4 war measure and a
direct menace. But there have been
other threatening demonstrations on
both sides. Spain tried to buy warships
and failed. The United States tried and
succeeded. What were those efforts but
preparations for war? The United
States has massed formidable fleet at
Key West, only four hours from Cuba.
1t is massing another at Hampton Roads
not much more than twenty-four hours
away. 1t is directing all its naval move
ments to the possibility Of conflict
Grant that the advance Of the Spanish
fleet is threatening So is the concentra-
tion Of ours at Key West. The logic Of
each is that war is imminent, and the
saving clause Of each is that war is not
certain. 1t must be remembered that
the President knows the situation better

the New York Board Of Health to stop
her neighbors babies from crying. The
board declines to intervene, doubtless
considering it too big a contract. Mrs.
Stanton should apply for an injunction
against this inconvenient iniantie vocal
ization. Government by injunction
ought to be able to quell a shrieking
babe no less than a striking mob. If
