THINGS THEATRICAL.

The performance of Lucia .di Lamma-
moor at the Lafayette last hight drew
an audience that waxed most senthusias-
tic because of the excellent singing of
the Italian section of the International
Grand Opera Company. The organization
may take the road now with asname to
be proud of in so far as its foreign con-
tingent is concerned Yesterday evenings S
performance was well-nigh fiawless. The
celebrated seXtet and chorus-the latter
being something Of an innovation-brought
forth a cyclone of applause. first because
of its popularity and secondly by reason
of its artistic rendering.
Nine Clementine De We're was the CEN
trail figure of the presentation, and de-
servedly, proving by her true and meri-
torious singing all that has been claimed
for her as an artist. Tonight I'll Trova-
tore will be given in Italian by a we'll
selected coterie of singers.
1t has been agreed upon by all three of
the local dailies that in his new comedy,
THE Meddler,' Augustus Thomas has
not only conceived remarkably brilliant
play, but that he has succeeded in fitting
the personality of Stuart Robson to a dot.

GREAT CONGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.
Leaders Everywhere to Unite for a Great
Midsummer Demonstration.

A mammoth Temperance congress,
national in scope, will be held at the big
auditorium, Prohibition Park, Staten
Island, n. Y, from July to 6 inclus-
i've. The project has been discussed for
some time, but the great gathering is
now assured. The purpose is to
have in atte ndance representatives of
every form of temperance thought that
is operating on the continent.
Each local organization will be en-
titled to one representative, if its mem
bership be 20 or less, and for every ad-
ditiOnal 90 members an additional
representative; each state organization
to 10 representatives, and each ma
tional organization to 20 representa-
tives. While none but delegates will
be entitled to vote on questions
that will come up before the Congress.
all persons Interested in temperance
work will be gladly welcomed. The
purpose of the meetings is to discuss
plans for united effort along the fol-
lowing lines, upon which it is be-
lieved, all are practically agreed:
1. To prevail upon the 115, 900 physi-
clans in the nation to cease prescrib-
ing alcohol for internal use, except as
they would prescribe other poisons.
2. To bring the leading life insur-
ance companies to acknowledge pub
llcly, what they admit privately, that
total abstainers are at least 20 per
cent. safer risks than moderate drink
ers, and then to take the further log
ical step to grant these total abstain
ers the benefit of their abstemious
habits in lower insurance.
B. To urge upon the more than 300
universities and colleges of America
to protect their students by providing
clean and anti-liquor surroundings.
4. To see that the millions of chill
dren in the Sunday Schools are sys-
tematically fortified against the drink
habit by moral and spiritual argu-
ments, and they are now beginning to
be fortified in the public schools by
physiological and hygienic arguments.
.. To urge upon the 100000 clergy
men in this country to preach sys-
tematically, at least once month, on
temperance.
6. To teach the industrial and COM
mercial classes to recognize the vital
bearing of abstinence on their respec-
tive interests.
z. To agitate for total abstinence as
a qualification of teachers in our pub
lie and other schools-as it is rapidly
becoming a qualification of engineers
and others who handle complicated
machinery, there being found no
where more cOmplicated:workmanship
than that of the immortal human
minds and hearts, which are placed
within the training of teachers.
8. To agitate for total abstinence in
the officers and men of the army and
navy who are placed, not to defend
simply a railroad train, but govern
ment.
Also, there is to be an exchange of
views on such questions as fermented
and unfermented communion wine;
partizan and non-partizan Prohibition
movements; the best substitutes for
saloons.

During the summer of 1891, Mr..
Chas. P. johnson, a we'll known at
torney of Louisville, KY, had a very
severe attack of summer complaint.
Quite a number of different remedies
were tried, but failed to afford any re-
lief. A friend who knew what was
needed procured him bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and DiarrhBa
Remedy, which qnickly cured him and
he thinks saved his life. He says that
there has not been a day since that
time that he has not had this remedy
in his household. He speaks of it in
the highest praise and takes much
pleasure in recommending it when
ever an opportunity is offered. For

EFFECTS OF THE OREGON ELECTION.

Says the Philadelphia Record: The
defeat of the Democrats and Populists
in Oregon in the first election of the
year for the next Congress on the issue
of free silver coinage is of national
significance. A meagre plurality of
less than 20O0 votes for Mr.. Mckinley
in 1896 has been turned, it appears,
into a majority of not less than 10000
votes for the Republican candidate for
Governor on sound money platform.
The election of an overwhelming Re-
publican majority to the Legislature
on this platform puts an end to any
lingering hope that may have been en-
tertained by the Hon. John H. Mitch
ell of his return to the United States
Senate as a champion of the Rocky
Mountain bonanza miners. It is evil
dent that the people of Oregon have
definitely abandoned the cheap
money delusions with which they were
somuch affected few years ago. High
prices for wheat and for other farm
products have doubtless proved most
effective argument against the teach
ings of "Coin's Financial School,"
which has transferred its principal
seat to the Senate of the United States.
One of the immediate effects of the
Oregon election has been to greatly
stiffen the backs of the Republicans in
Congress, who had betrayed before the
returns came in some signs of weaken
ing on the question of coming the So
called ''seigniorage" of silver, which
proposition is awaiting action in COM
mittee of conference. If the Demo-
Observation-Disclosures Combine in
the Senate shall insist upon this
scheme to initiate the currency the Re-
publicans of the House, inspired by
the evidence of the people are behind
them, cannot abandon their position
in favor of sound money; and of all the
assaults upon sound money principles
this attempt to pour at once into the
circulation $40, 100000 of Treasury
certificates upon the basis of a seign-
forage of silver dollars to be coined
hereafter at the rate of 100000 a
month is the most preposterous. CThe
compromise committee has made the
figure 81, 500, ,OOO.)
The scheme of coming the seign-
forage and issuing $42, 900, 900 of Treas
ury notes in anticipation of it, is infia-
ton pure and simple. 1t is worse than
undiluted Greenbackery in that it pro-
poses to enormously initiate the paper
currency under a false and deceptive
cover. In favor of this amendment
to the War Revenue bill were all the
acknowledgements, Populists and
Silver Republicans of the Senate, and
against it was practically the whole
body of sound money Senators.
Against this and all such schemes of
initiation was also the verdict of the
Oregon election. In national contests
involving the election of President and
members of Congress the currency
question has become more clearly de-
fined than ever as the line of cleavage
between parties.

SENATOR KENNEY ON BAIL

dicted by the Federal grand jury,

gins representing him.
