Opera at the Americas Theatre-


The New York morning papers of Tues
day devoted unusual space TO the revival
of Planquette's ever charming comic
opera Paul Jones'" by the Castle Square
Company at the American Theatre. They
were most remarkably in unison in their
praise of the performance. Lizzie Mae
nichol in particular came in for a great
deal of credit for her im~personation OF
the role originally played mace ram
Gus by Agnes Huntington. Oscar Glfaru
splendidly sustained his reputation as a
comedian of more than ordinary unctuous
voice. Bessie Fairbair1, a new conner IN
the New York cast of the Castle square
Opera Company, made a most pleasing lIa-
preston. Amy Hartley as fvonne, Wm.
Wolff as Bouillabaisse, Raymond altGn-
cock as Bicoquet, Ruth White as Maia-
an did well. The chorus, as is now ex-
peeted of all the Castle Square perform
snees looked well. played with anima-
ton and sang with tina splendid vocal ef-
fort which has so easily placed them IN
the front rank of all New YORK singing
companies.
For the week of February q, Flotowss
melodious grand opera Martha is an
nounced. The cast will embrace tnat
thorough artist and warm favorlte,
Grace Golden, with Myrta French, ana
probably Yvonne de Treviile as alternates
nichol as Nancy; JOS. F. Sheenan as
Lionel. with VIM. Stephens as alternate
and w. G. Stewart as Plunkett.
Next Monday, February Z, will witness
the 50th performance of the castle square
Company. The occasion will be appro-
the shape of very handsome silver ladies'
dressing trays.

THE Consolidated Traction Company
cannot be sufficiently praised for the
service which it gave the public of this
city throughout the recent snow storm.
To all intents and purposes it ran its cars
as if the weather were clear. There was
no decrease in the number of cars and
they ran as fast as ever. The only OBJ
struction experienced was when other
vehicles got in the way and blocked the
lines.
The company has been steadily inn
proving its service. TIL defects which
were observed the first year or two were
the inseparable incidents of all expert
mental work Now the company knows
the public needs and has learned how to
meet them. We ~ see any particular
in which Jersey city's means of trayei
are now inferior to those of any other
city. The company's officers are authority

Captain "Jack'' Graham expects to be
sergeant-at-arms of the Hudson Inves-
tigating Committee.-"Tribune."
This would be certainly in accordance
with the eternal fitness of things.
He had a similar job under other in
yestigating committees, and knows pretty
well all the tricks employed in Hudson
politics.
Wonder whether he would tell the com

her basket from her and divided the
contents. They would not let her see
her son. She ran past the soldiers up to
the prison door. Child she called,

God bless you! Your mother prays for
you and thinks of you with smile on

As she spoke the old woman tore the

"Drum - drum - der-um, drum,

"Drum-drum-der- drum, druml"
"Motherl" gasped the young man.

her seem almost young. She held out

The Money Cost of War.

A calculation as careful as is possible
places the total cost of war during the
last 5000 years at the appalling sum Of
e120, 900, 900, 900. If it were possible to
pay this enormous bill in gold, we
should require 942, 857 tons of sover-
eigns. and an army of over 600, 900
horses to draw it.
If it had been possible for all the
mints now existing throughout the
world to begin coming sovereigns at
their present rate in the year of Christ 8
birth, they would still have to continue
for 879 years more before their task
would be completed.
If these sovereigns could be reared
into one sky piercing column as me-
mortal to those whose blood they bought,
the column would stand on a base of
100 square feet and would rise into the
clouds nearly 1000 feet higher than
the summit of Mont Blanc. They would
equally pave with sovereigns road 73
feet wide, stretching from Charing
Cross to over 100 miles beyond Con-
stantinople.
And this is the appalling price which
men have paid in gold and blood for
the privilege of killing each other

The Club Woman tells an amusing
story of party of women who recently
visited Pixies peak. A youth, still in
knee breeches, although he wore col
lar of extraordinary height and stiff
ness, was their guide, but his knowl-
edge of the points of interest appeared
to be slight.
Every few minutes he stood up and
shouted the names of certain bowlders
and streams. When we were nearly at
the top, he called out:
"On the right is the Lions Mouth"
"Why is it called the Lions Mouth?"
asked a skeptical lady who had pestered
him with "whys" all the way.
"Aw, l dunno" said the lad, tired
of being asked for information. 81 was
told to holler these names. l dunno
why nothin. It's my job to holler, and

THE CHESS PLAYERS.

The clock, unheeded, peals the midnight hour.
The house is mute, the light is waxing dim.
Whose is the wand and whence the magic
power
That these has smitten with enchantment
grimS
The pygmy figures on the PAINTED squares,
Silent Il Iistered friars on their knees
Whom death transmutes to marble at their
prayers,
Seem not m ore stiff and statuelike than these
With hearts of champions charging in the lists,
Whose lances crumble as they crash and fall
With nerves of boxers pounding with their
fists;
There is no movement. 1t is semblance all
Save that at intervals hand outstretched
Beckons charge or signals retreat
Or from the depths whence plots malign arc
fetched,
Issues the interdict that seals defeat.
The mimic battle has been lost and won;
The spacious night has shrunken to a span:
The world is lifted from oblivion,
And each aut tomaton becomes a man.

Cold and rough the north wind blows
Black In the morning early.
Who should meet but Mountain Rose
Among the stubble barleyf
All the world is under SHOWS.
Blowing tits and showing.
Who should meet but Mountain Ross

Not leaf on the poplar tree,
Not flower on the heather.
Mountain Rose looked shyly at me
As we stepped out together.
Mountain Rose, so airy and free,
Where are roses blowing?
Roses cheek, half turned from me.
The rose of love was showing
Black and cold the north wind blows
Never bird is singing.
There's lilt in the voice of Rose
Sweet as the skylark ringing.
Winters black on heather and broom,

Roses mouth is the honeycomb
And Roses laugh is bonny.
Black and cold the north wind blows,
Winter comes in fairly. *

Getting an Opening.

A man had story about a gun which
he delivered himself of upon all occa-
sions.
At a dinner party one evening he
writhed in his chair for over an hour,
waiting for a chance to introduce his
story, but no opportunity presented it.
SELF Finally he slipped a coin into the
hand of a waiter and whispered:
"When you leave the room again,
slam the door"
- The waiter slammed the door as d.
rected, and the man sprang to his feet
with the exclamation:
"What's that noise-a gunf"
"Oh, mol" resumed his host. "It wal
only the door,
"Ah, see! Well. speaking Of guns
reminds me of little story" etc.

Cats and Monkeys.

All animals, even the widest, can be
subjected in some way to the dominion
of man and be domesticated to some ex-
tent. Here, for instance, are two very
curious facts about cats. Many persons,
including some of our greatest natural
lists, believe that our English domestic
cat is descended from the Egyptian do
mestic cat. Yet all records go to prove
that the cats of Egypt lived in droves.
were cared for in droves, were fed in
droves and worshiped in droves, with
the result that Egyptian cats never got
domesticated or became half as intell-
gent as ours.
The like truth is suggested from In
dia, where monkeys are worshiped.
These are allowed to become nuisances.
They are fed and they have any amount
Of liberty, and what is the consequence?
They never lose their innate savagery.
The method of caring for them has been
wrong. All the devotion and care ex-
pended on them are practically wasted,
and il we treated our cats in the same
fashion as the Indians do these monkeys
they would become just as wild and un-
domesticated. ed.-Casselps s Magazine.

THE GENTLENANLY RATTLESNAKE.
COntraSted With the GhOulish
Germ.

Imagine a mans path leading him
through section of country in which
there were millions of rattesnakesl
With what caution and circumspection he
would take every step. He would, how
ever, have fair chance of coming to his
journeys end in safety, because a rat
tlesnake, like an old-fashioned clock
warns before it strikes. The rattle
snake stands as the type of the deadliest
foes of the human race. But there are
foes quite as. deadly and more to be
feared than rattlesnakess Germs that
strike at the vital centres of life; germs
of foul diseases deadly as the venom Of
the. snake, and giving no Narning OF
their presence, infest the .air'mea breathe'
the water we drink. Once introduced
into the blood they multiply with fear
full rapidity, absolutely eating up the
very principle of life. Compared with
a disease germ, a rattlesnake is a gentle
man. He is a fair fighter. He tells
you to look out You have chance to
fight or run. The disease germ sneaks
upon you. 1t comes while you are
sleeping. 1t gains an entrance to the
